I had been looking for a fitness training course being taught in-person to get a more hands on experience but I was unable to find a place for a while, then I learned about the NPTI course being offered at Fan Club Health and Fitness and I decided to give it a chance and I was truly satisfied with my experience. The NPTI is about a 3 month long course. During the first two weeks, we learned about the human body such as the skeletal system and the different muscle groups in body. After the first two weeks, we then started to learn about which exercises target what specific muscles. As we learned more about a vast amount of exercises, we also learned how to perform them correctly and in the safest manner possible in order to prevent the risk of injuries or discomfort. Learning about different exercises and how to perform, we then moved on to learning about creating strategic workout plans depending on what one’s goal is in their fitness whether it is to lose weight, to build muscle or to simply maintain their physique. After finishing the NPTI, I must say that I have learned so much about fitness which I genuinely couldn’t have anywhere else. I know much more than I ever knew before and with this knowledge I am fully capable of training others and aiding them in their fitness journeys as well applying its teachings to my own fitness journey as well. Taking this course has taught me that no matter where we are in our fitness journey, we can all take our lives into our own hands and reach our fitness goals as long as we apply the right strategies regarding our goals. Overall, NPTI was a life changing experience for me and I would genuinely recommend it if you are someone who is looking to be a part of the fitness industry or if you are someone who simply wants to learn more about fitness and health.
The program itself covered everything you could possibly need to know to be a trainer – like, seriously everything. I actually feel like I know what I'm doing now, which is a major plus! We also got to do a bunch of hands-on stuff, like practicing with each other, which was way better than just sitting around listening to lectures. It made me feel way more confident.Plus, it felt like everyone wanted each other to succeed. If you're thinking about becoming a personal trainer, you should totally check this place out!
I am so happy my friend introduced me to NPTI! She took this course in California and mentioned that Houston had one too. I have always wanted to become a certified personal trainer but I didn't feel like the online courses/certifications were up my alley. Mainly, because I am so busy and at the time I was working so much. NPTI had flexible classes and the evening times were perfect for me. I learned so much by going to a hands-on personal training course that a book and online classes could not give me. David is the best instructor. He's like a walking encyclopedia! He is full of answers and resources. The best part about graduating from NPTI is that you are a personal trainer for life! I highly recommend this course.
Attending NPTI is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Going to personal training school was a huge leap out of my comfort zone and I am so thankful that I took that first step. Jocelyn is the BEST! She taught me so much more than I was even hoping to learn. She’s very professional and knowledgeable. Having her in class teaching was much more beneficial than reading a text book and taking a test online. Thank you NPTI! I’m so excited for what the future holds. @beastmomma04
My time at NPTI was worth it, at the time I had just buried my grandfather the very next week I was attending NPTI, now I’m a graduate, and currently preparing for training camp overseas playing basketball. MR. Dave and Ms. Jocelyn alongside other colleagues are the best staff ever, their knowledge and experience gave me the initiative to finish school. They’re the best trainers/professors I’ve had, very courageous and motivating.
