Course was very well taught with thorough explanations. The instructors were very thoughtful, welcoming and understanding especially amid the pandemic. I highly advise anyone considering becoming a personal trainer to take this course. Special shout out to Barry, Youre Awesome Sir!

I am currently enrolled in the six month program at NPTI Philadelphia. The instructors are so knowledgeable in both the theory and the workout curriculum. But more importantly their accessibility both during and after classes facilitates the experience like no other degree that I have acquired.I would recommend this program for anyone, at any stage in your life if you are serious about fitness for yourself and others.

Best experience Ive ever had! Hands on, great experienced instructors, and great location in a gym! You train with your classmates and learn with them. You learn in the gym and also get good enough time in the books/classroom learning anatomy and nutrition. Barry is the best instructor, filled with lots of knowledge. Ask for a open house visit or to sit in a class and check for yourself! You will not regret it!!

The class is awesome and I really appreciate that there are multiple sessions during different times of the day and year. Every time you go to class you’re guaranteed to learn something new and valuable to any application you have outside of the class. You train with and learn with classmates so it’s a lot of fun and there’s not a dull day of class. I thought that I knew a lot about the body and how people moved already- taking the class definitely proved me wrong. For anyone who may or may not want to be a trainer, this is a great place to learn and is worth the time and money.

I personally needed the “hands on” training that was offered. The course content was great. Instructors; awesome. This is so much more than reading a book and taking a test. You really learned how a body works and how to design protocols for all types of potential (future) clients. I have recommended the school to friends and associates. Outstanding!

If you want to become a Personal Trainer look no further. This is where it’s at, this is where you need to learn from! Barry is an amazing instructor. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great mentor as I continue my career. The rest of the teaching staff brings much added knowledge to your instruction. This will put you 10 years ahead of the rest. I graduated in 2011 and have been running my own gym ever since. If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it in a heartbeat! Thanks Barry for helping me get my start!!

NPTI is the best. It’s just that simple! The hands on experience you get here beats any online training you will receive. Barry is the man and he goes out of his way to help anyone who needs some extra attention. He truly cares about the students and does an amazing job teaching and showing you different mechanics of movements, corrective exercises and always has a funny story for you. If you want to become a personal trainer you don’t need to look any further. This is the place to be and I thank Barry for all of my knowledge.

I always loved fitness and NPTI took my skills and made them so much more than I ever expected. It taught me so much not only about actual exercise, but anatomy and physiology of the body. Great class and an even better teacher. You won’t regret it!!

Attending NPTI was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. The education is top notch and what you learn is very applicable when you take a training job. The instructors, Barry, Matt & Dan are great, make things easy to understand, and ensure you get hands on practice with the exercises and equipment they introduce you to!

Going to NPTI was one of the best decisions i ever made. I had a great experience with great teachers. Getting hands on training and classroom time really prepares you to be a trainer. After i graduated i had a training job in a week.

NPTI was one of the best choices of my life! Truly was the first time I enjoyed going to school and never wanted to miss a day! The hands on experience you get is awesome, it was great learning things in the classroom and then getting to go right out in the gym & apply it. Barry was such an amazing teacher & has so much knowledge! If youre thinking of becoming a PT, NPTI is the best place to do it!

I went there about 10 years ago. I was a lost college student with no career and didnt have any answers to what I was going to do. Going to NPTI was the greatest most defining moment in my life. It taught me how to train and become the best at it. I now own my own training studio and have been training for 10 years and have owned my own place for about 4. Without the help of NPTI I would not be where I am at today. Thank you

I learned more at NPTI in the hands on six month program than any online certification could ever offer. It was one of the greatest educational experiences of my life. The instructors are the best at what they do and will go to any length to ensure the success of their students!

I chose NPTI for my personal training certificate and I could not be more happy with my decision. The hands on experience you receive is second to none. And Barry is one of the most knowledgeable people in the fitness industry in my opinion. Even if my personal training career were not to take off, I would be happy with my experience and how much I learned personally at NPTI.

I’m 2015 I decided I wanted to put my love of helping people and love of fitness and turn it into a career and that’s exactly what I accomplished through NPTI. It’s not just a school, it feels like family. When they teach you they give you so much knowledge and not just from a book, hands on and practicals as well! They keep you engaged, tell you what is most important in the field of Pt and prepare you to help not just people with weight loss but people with injuries, surgeries, severe body complications and that’s why NPTI, in my opinion, stands out. I’ve been a PT ever since and I wouldent have t any other way ☺️👍

I learned so much at NPTI and was very prepared to train in the real world when I was done. I chose NPTI because I wanted to actually learn, hands-on, how to train, not just cram to pass a certification test. And it was definitely worth it! Anyone considering being a personal trainer should absolutely go there!

NPTI is an awesome experience to become a certified personal trainer. You need the hands on experience everyday to fully embrace a career as a personal trainer. Would you want to train with someone who learned otherwise?

I was a student of NPTI about 6 or 7 years ago, and when I decided on going down the path of becoming a personal trainer, well let’s just say NPTI was the best decision I made. Having a group of people that are able to teach you the ins and outs of the industry, both in the class and in the gym will take any trainers knowledge and experience to the next level. NPTI is who I have to thank for the opportunities I have been able to have over the years. The knowledge I received has aloud me to work with all kind of fitness ages from you mom and Dad looking to lose some weight, to high school athletes, to professional athletes. So if you are looking to start down the path of a personal trainer don’t try and do it on your own. Go to an open house, listen to what they have to say, and sign up! It will be the best decision you ever made.~NPTI Grad Mike LaScala

After dropping out of college and having trouble thinking of that i wanted to do with my life, I decided to come to NPTI about 2 years ago. I always had a passion for working out and helping people. If you’re looking to become a personal trainer, NPTI is the place for you. Whether you are a recent high school grad, middle-age mom looking for a career change, or just interested in learning the anatomy of the body and ways to keep yourself healthy, you should come to NPTI. Barry is awesome and super knowledgeable !!! Very down to earth and knows just about everything when it comes to personal training. Classes are broken down into lecture, where you will be in a classroom environment, and then workout time where you will be in the gym being taught proper form, demonstrations, and don’t worry, there will be PLENTY of time to workout on your own !!! Attending NPTI was hands down one of the best/most rewarding decisions of my life thus far. NPTI changed my life !! Within a week after graduating from NPTI, I landed a personal training job at Prime Intensity Training in Conshohocken and absolutely LOVE what i do. They say “do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.” I can confidently say i am doing what i love thanks to NPTI. Thank you so much Barry and Jenny for everything you guys do for us ! You two are amazing people !!!!!!!!
