This hybrid course includes virtual lectures plus in-person practical skills lab on campus. Get all the information needed to start an exciting fitness career and become a Certified Personal Trainer. Turn your fitness passion into a profession. The scheduled virtual live lectures are led by our five-star teacher. Topics will cover 15 hours on anatomy, exercise physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, nutrition and more. The in-person practical skill labs allow you to role play and review essential hands-on skills to master assessing clients, stretching, warm-ups/cool-downs, exercise analysis and programming design.  Upon successful completion of the course, you are eligible to sit for the exam to become a W.I.T.S. Certified Personal Trainer—Level I.

The course includes the national test vouchers ($450 value) and extra access to our online video-enhanced CPT course to review lectures and labs at no extra cost! The W.I.T.S. 30-hour optional employer internship (Level 2 Certification) helps walk you to jobs that very much value our unique certification. To earn your Level 2 certification, you must complete a 30-hour employer internship. W.I.T.S. will assist in this step.
