How NASM One™ and NASM Community™ Build Your Skills and Expand Your Coaching Impact
description

Your ability to deliver results depends on two things: your skillset and the systems that support it. When aligned, you are more than a trainer. You become a trusted partner in your clients’ progress.

With NASM One™ membership, you get the tools and support to coach with confidence, precision, and adaptability. That journey is strengthened inside NASM Community™—a dedicated space to learn, share, and grow alongside peers, mentors, and industry experts. As an NASM One member, you receive full access to everything NASM Community has to offer.

What You Gain as an NASM One Member

Continuous Skill Development

With ongoing access to more than 350+ continuing education courses* in the CEU (Continuing Education Units) Library, you can refine your approach to mobility, recovery, nutrition, performance, and more without starting from scratch each time you want to expand your expertise. You stay current, and your clients benefit from methods that reflect the latest best practices.

Specialized Growth Opportunities

Your 50% discount on new NASM and Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) certifications and specializations** means you can strategically expand into new service areas, increasing your value to clients and competitive edge in the market. You deepen your expertise where it matters most, whether that is sports performance, corrective exercise, weight loss, wellness, or more.

Show Your Commitment. Strengthen Your Practice.

In addition to continuing education and exclusive discounts, NASM One membership also waives the fees required to renew your certification(s)***.

Keeping your credential active demonstrates to your clients that you’re invested in their success and your professional growth. Renewal ensures you stay current with evolving practices, technologies, and regulations, so you can deliver the highest standard of care.

It’s also an opportunity to expand your expertise. Fulfilling CEU requirements opens doors to new skills and specialties that set you apart in a competitive market.

Finally, maintaining an active credential reduces liability risk and is typically required for insurance coverage—giving you and your clients peace of mind.

Professional-Grade Client Management

The EDGE Trainer Pro app centralizes planning, tracking, and communication, streamlining how you deliver a consistent, high-quality experience. From programming to progress updates, you are working from one connected system instead of juggling multiple tools.

What you Access with the New NASM Community

Peer Support and Real-World Answers

Inside NASM Community, you can ask questions, share scenarios, and see how other professionals handle similar client challenges. Whether it is programming around a schedule change, navigating a motivation dip, or addressing a specific concern, you have a place to get practical insight instead of solving everything alone.

Mentorship and Thought Leadership Opportunities

NASM Community is designed to support both learners and experienced professionals. As you grow, you can step into mentorship, lead discussions, or share tips and case studies. This reinforces your expertise, builds your presence in the field, and contributes to a culture of shared learning.

Sense of Professional Belonging

Most trainers work independently or in small teams. Having a dedicated community reduces isolation. NASM Community promotes connection with people who understand the realities of your day, celebrate wins, and normalize the ups and downs of building a career in fitness and wellness. That sense of belonging can be a powerful buffer against burnout.

Where You Will See the Difference

When NASM One and NASM Community are part of your routine, you are likely to notice:

When your growth and support system are built into your everyday work, you coach at a higher standard without losing momentum. NASM One gives you the tools and structure. NASM Community gives you the people and perspective. Together, they create a career accelerator designed for long-term impact.

*Exact number of courses subject to change. Not all courses are approved for NASM/AFAA CEUS: Approved providers will be clearly marked on the course description page within the platform; Standard suspension rules apply for access to courses.

**Excludes CPT and bundles with CPT. Exams, workshops, Gymternship, administrative fees, re-enroll packages, and courses included in NASM One do not get the 50% discount
