What is Recertify for Life?

personal trainer helping a client stretch

To ensure that you stay up-to-date with the latest industry knowledge and guidelines, NASM and AFAA's credentials require recertification/renewal every two years. Our Recertify for Life program takes the stress and unwanted hassle out of renewal fees and gives trainers lifetime discounts and more benefits to help you focus on your career and your clients.

To maintain your Certified Personal Trainer credentials, you are required to recertify/renew every two years by earning 1.9 CEUs (continuing education units), maintaining your current CPR/AED certification (0.1 CEUs), and paying recertification/renewal fees. NASM's Recertify for Life allows you to avoid these fees, get lifetime discounts on CEU courses, and receive extra exclusive benefits!

In order to renew your Certified Nutrition Coach credential, you must pass a renewal exam every two years. The exam fee is waived with Recertify for Life.

AFAA's Group Fitness Instructor certification requires you to earn at least 15 approved hours of continuing education, and at least two must be from AFAA courses. You must also maintain your CPR/AED certification.

As a Recertify for Life member, you must still meet the recertification/renewal requirements and submit a recertification/renewal application every two years.

See our recertification guidelines for the NCCA-Accredited Personal Trainer Certification (NCCA exam) here.

The renewal guidelines for the NASM Personal Trainer Certificate (non-proctored exam) can be found here.

Your NASM Certified Personal Trainer Credentials must be recertified/renewed every two years. You will be required to earn 2.0 Continuing Education Units, which includes 0.1 CEUs from the mandatory CPR/AED Certification.

Renewal of the Nutrition Certification is required every two years by completing the CNC Renewal Exam. You will have three attempts to pass the exam with an enrollment duration of 365 days.

If all recertification/renewal requirements have not been met by the expiration date, the NASM Certified Personal Trainer Credentials will expire. Recertification/Renewal applications will be accepted up to one year from the expiration date if all continuing education courses have been completed before or within 90 days of the expiration date.

After the 90 days, an additional fee is charged, and the recertification/renewal application must be received before one year after credential expiration.
