What You'll Learn

With the Career Kickstarter Bundle, you will launch your personal training career with the ultimate advantage. Set yourself apart from other trainers by combining NASM's three most powerful courses.

Begin your journey with NASM’s Certified Personal Trainer Premium Self-Study program (NASM CPT). This fitness program will lay the foundation every trainer needs to accurately assess and build customized workouts using NASM’s world-renowned OPT™ Model.

After becoming certified, jump straight into the NASM Corrective Exercise Specialization Self-Study program (NASM-CES). As a Corrective Exercise Specialist, you’ll get to the root of what causes injury for each client. Help clients move properly through custom workouts and stop lower back pain, knee issues, muscle soreness, and more before it occurs.

And finally, NASM’s Certified Nutrition Coach (NASM-CNC) will teach you everything you need to know about what your clients put into their bodies and strategies on how to help them commit to healthy diets long term. The Nutrition Certification can be taken alongside NASM’s Certified Personal Trainer program, as it does not require any prior experience to begin. When you kickstart your career with NASM, you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of success!

James Llamas review 5 stars

"You can do all the right things physically, and if you're not right nutritionally, it's a pretty uphill battle from there. Nutrition is also really key because, diet and exercise, those are the two components to being healthy."
