What is Recertify for Life?
To ensure that you stay up-to-date with the latest industry knowledge and guidelines, NASM and AFAA's certifications require recertification 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 every two years by earning 1.9 CEUs (continuing education units), maintaining your current CPR/AED certification (0.1 CEUs), and paying recertification fees. NASM's Recertify for Life allows you to avoid these renewal 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 renewal requirements and submit a recertification application every two years. See our recertification guidelines here or visit our terms and conditions for more information.
