How do I set up an appointment?

What about the GI-Bill® or any other federal or state agencies, do you accept them?
Please Email [email protected] for specific GI Bill® inquiries. The National Personal Training Institute does accept the GI Bill®.
Why should I choose NPTI when I can get another cert in a couple weeks?
You get what you put into it. You can earn a certification quickly, but that only makes you credentialed, not qualified for many, if not most, real training roles. You will need much more than a basic exam certification if you want a quality career in this industry or want true working knowledge for yourself. NPTI is 8 to 10 times more education. It is the only national program that is licensed by the Bureau of Higher Education and Department of Education that has built in quality controls.
Our outcomes are dramatically better because you are actually doing the work and not taking the easy way out.
What credentials will I receive upon completion?
National Personal Training Institute graduates will be eligible for two credentials:
- 500 Hour Diploma Certification in Personal Training
- Optional NASM-CPT/ACD Certification (National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer- Academic Certificate of Distinction)
- Nutrionist Certification (included in the 500hrs)
Is your company national?
Yes. The National Personal Training Institute Diploma Certification is recognized nationally and internationally as a qualifying personal training credential. This is not a local prep course for an exam or a school based in only one state. We are considered one of the highest national credentials available. We do not have a final test. The completion of your course is the credential.

Are there any registration fees?
Yes, a $75 registration fee. Your registration fee will hold a place in the class of your choosing. You will not be enrolled until we receive the registration fee. The fee is always refundable or transferable up until the first day of class.
Where do you do the hands-on training?
You may us one of our many National Personal Training Institute Locations. If too far, we will come to you at a local gym. You may also use your own local or home gym if you choose to do the Virtual Program.
Can I still enroll if I’m not in very good shape?
You absolutely can. A big perk of our program is that you will be training at a gym while attending our program. We are going to hit your goals! Many students have little to no gym experience.
I’m nervous about beginning the program because I’ve been out of school for awhile. What is the typical range of ages of students? Will the program be too difficult for me?
Our environment is extremely learning friendly here at the National Personal Training Institute. We do our absolute best to assist you in learning the material at a comfortable pace for you. We have small class sizes, great instructors, and spend a good deal of time on each section of our curriculum. We also have a great deal of review time worked into your schedule. The first portion of each class is spent reviewing the material from the previous day, and we also spend one full day reviewing material prior to all exams. Students between the ages of 18 and 88 that comes in all shapes and sizes have graduated from our program.
Tell me more about your admission/graduation requirements?
Our admission requirements are as follows:
- You need to have earned at least your high school diploma or equivalent (GED) by the end of the program. Or we can hold the credential until you do.
You will not need any prerequisite classes. The National Personal Training Institute does not discriminate against any applicant by race, gender, age or physical disability in accordance with federal and state guidelines.
What should I do if I miss class?
All students must attend at least 90% of clock hours of the Personal Training Program in order to graduate. There are an array of ways for a student that is missing hours in excess of the minimum requirements to make up attendance hours. Mist students watch the recording or we can give you special assignments.
