What You'll Learn

CES instructing client to do a military press

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 and the power of the NASM EDGE app at one low price.

Begin your journey with NASM’s Certified Personal Trainer (NASM-CPT) Guided Study program. This certification will lay the foundation every trainer needs to accurately assess and build customized workouts using NASM’s world-renowned OPT™ Model. As part of your NASM-CPT program, you'll be able to leverage the full power of the NASM EDGE app to study for the exam, manage clients, and even train them online.

After becoming certified, jump straight into the Corrective Exercise Specialization Self-Study program. 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 your NASM-CPT, as it does not require any prior experience to begin. Plus, with the NASM EDGE app, you’ll be able to provide clients with next-level nutrition feedback and advice that aligns with their fitness goals thanks to our Calorie and Macronutrient Calculators.

When you kickstart your career with NASM, you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of success!

FAQs

NASM's Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) are both certifications, which means you must recertify every two years.

On the contrary, the Corrective Exercise Specialization (CES) is a specialization, not a certification, which means it does not need to be renewed. Once you pass your CES final exam, your CES specialization certificate never expires.

In order to recertify, CPTs are required to earn 2.0 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every two years. Both the Corrective Exercise Specialization and the Nutrition Coach Certification are worth 1.9 CEUs, meaning that after completing these courses you would already have more than enough CEUs to recertify!

You will have 180 days from the date of enrollment to take the NASM-CPT exam. An extension for the exam can be purchased by contacting NASM Member Services.

The NASM-CES and NASM-CNC exams and content can be accessed for 1 year following the purchase date. Each NASM-CES course is typically completed in just 2-4 weeks. The NASM-CNC course is typically completed in just 4 weeks. Extensions are available for each course for an additional fee.

The OPT™ Model is our 5-phase training model that starts with Stabilization and ends with Power. The NASM-CPT program utilizes the Optimum Performance framework to ensure that all NASM-CPTs are well-versed in our training methods. Read here to learn more about the OPT™ Model.

The Corrective Exercise Continuum (CEx) is the foundation for the entire Corrective Exercise Specialization (CES). It is a 4-step process for assessing and correcting human movement for clients. The 4 steps are talked about more in depth in our guide to the CEx.

Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) is an NCCA accredited certification, meaning you must pass a live proctored exam, which can be administered online or in-person. On the contrary, the Corrective Exercise Specialization (CES) and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) final exams are administered online and can be taken from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you prefer to take tests.

Don't fret! A free retest is included as part of the NASM-CPT Guided Study program. For more details, please refer to your Candidate Handbook.

Trainer Testimonials

Tony Ambler-Wright Review 5 stars

"I could probably say that I owe my career and where I'm at today to the Corrective Exercise Specialization . By implementing the assessments, programming, and solutions that I learned through the CES program, it allowed me to work with a wide variety of clients that I might not have been able to work with and help achieve their goals otherwise."

Nolan Hyland Review 5 stars

"There's a lot of different certification companies out there, but there's only one NASM. In terms of research and being the foremost leader in the fitness industry, no one can compare."

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."

Rick Richey review 5 stars

"I know when I first started training with the CES, that's when my business picked up and I started getting a lot more clients and a lot of people that I wouldn't have normally seen. I wanted to train a lot of the athletic folks, and it's been amazing that even with elite athletes that I've trained, I do more of corrective exercise with them than probably almost anything else."

Mike Fantagrassi Review 5 stars

"I'm very passionate about the Corrective Exercise Specialist because it's something that helped propel my career. In 2006 that's when I was exposed to the NASM corrective exercise specialization. I went through the course and it really transformed my business as a trainer. I became a lot busier because I knew I could work with a wider variety of clients. But on a personal level it helped me. I wasn't moving that great. I was in my early 30s, and I had some pain in my hip and also my shoulders from lifting heavy. And by following the protocols in the program I felt better. I became very passionate about corrective exercise, and I help teach other people how to get this as well."
