Before I took this course
Before I took this course, I had previously taken the A.C.E. PT certification test 3 times and failed. This training course was awesome. I had my doubts at first, but it got me where I needed to be at for the certification test. I passed on my first try after completing the course!

Wow! Passed on the first try
Wow, all I can say is WOW. I had gotten the NASM CPT7 package and was beyond blown away. I realized that I needed the study guide when I started studying from the textbook and wasn't retaining anything. After only a month with trainer academy I decided to take my first NASM exam, fully expecting to fail. I had a free retest voucher so I figured I'd just get some practice seeing the exam. To my surprise, I passed on the first time! I was thoroughly shocked. Highly recommend. Especially the audio study guides. Great for listening to passively and absorbing the information.

Passed my ACE exam
I had 4 weeks to prepare for my exam and their program is perfect for narrowing down crucial information and offering a study structure. The practice exams and cheat sheet were also a huge help. Bear in mind that the audio guides aren't comprehensive, you will still need to read the textbook to pass the individual chapter quizzes and the final exam.
Thank you
Thank you, i used the resources and wished I had started this from the beginning. I found the practice quizzes and cards super helfpul but also found the info to be a little overwhelming. I was short on time when I purchased (didn't know my exam was going to expire soon) so I had to do a cram course. I think a condensed version of your existing cram version could be helpful. Overall I"m pleased that I passed! I think all the practice tests really helped!

The trainer academy study guide was extremely helpful. I suggest getting the study guide as soon as you sign up for your cpt to use in conjunction with the textbook.

Great Study Guide
Overall, this is excellent. I would not have passed the CSCS exam without it. However, watch out for chapters 15 and 16 of the study guide...it definitely does not cover everything.

Good Purchase - Fantastic Study Guide
The program overall was definitely very helpful. The study guide was the most beneficial, by far, to me, as it helped condense the information to some of the most important things to focus on.

Trainer Academy ensured my success during the CSCS exam. I had taken the exam prior to using Trainer Academy, and I did not pass one of the sections (Practical Applied). Once I used the tools Trainer Academy offered, I passed the exam with ease. The practice questions helped me to prepare fully for the exam and grasp the content in a comprehensive manner. I highly recommend this package.
