Accredited Personal Trainer School & Personal Trainer Certification

Is this just another vocational school that just added "personal training" to a long list of courses ranging from medical technician to x-ray assistant to massage therapist to licensed practical nurse

Here’s an opportunity to answer your own question.  Ask yourself if the alternative to NPTI Colorado compares and if that is a “plus” or a “minus” to your career and education as a personal fitness trainer:

1. NPTI Colorado is only a provider of health and fitness education … both your initial training as a personal trainer and your continuing education. 
2. NPTI Colorado provides a structured, progressive classroom and practical experience with specific classroom and fitness center based objectives each day.  Other organizations simply “work out” together with an instructor in a tiny gym (typically a part time personal trainer) babysitting the work out program.
3. NPTI Colorado does not just force feed you memorized bones, muscles, and terminology … we also teach you the business of personal training … finding clients, retaining clients, establishing policies and procedures, maintaining proper insurance, deciding which certification(s) best fit your career path.  Other organizations teach you Anatomy 101, Physiology 101, etc., etc. … but do not really tie it all together in a cohesive career-path based solution
4. Other “career colleges” will convince you that an Associate’s Degree has “value” with personal trainer employers.  FALSE.  Employers want to know about your nationally recognized certification, experience, personal trainer demeanor, and ability to train others.  Associates Degrees are established so that the career college can secure federal funding for their programs … it’s for their benefit (not yours).
5. NPTI Colorado provides you with the ability to be a “full body – full scope” personal trainer.  Not just lifting.  We do not waste your time with 10% introductions to yoga and pilates (which can take 6 – 12 months of additional training to truly learn).  At NPTI Colorado, you will LEARN diet and nutrition and become qualified to take the National Association of Sports Nutrition “Sports Nutritionist” examination.  You will LEARN and practice program design.  You will LEARN and practice fitness assessment.  You’ll learn how to tailor and implement a health & fitness program for any client.
6. NPTI Colorado even provides you with the continuing education opportunity after you graduate through our “Fitness Resources” continuing education company.  See www.FitnessResourcesSeminars.com.
7. NPTI Colorado pays its instructor staff more than anyone to include offering incentives to staff members to continue their education and enhance their abilities to teach YOU.  One other career college here in Colorado pays their staff almost  ½  the salary and hires non-health and fitness  degreed staff … who are making less compensation than personal trainers make. 
8. NPTI Colorado is so serious about helping our graduates get their careers  kick-started,  we offer our graduates FREE use of our 11,000 sq.ft.  Denver based fitness facility to train their clients AFTER they graduate!
