Career Personal Training - Fitness Professional Recommendations

TO: Any Aspiring Personal Fitness Trainer Or
Any Employer Considering Hiring an NPTI Colorado Graduate

FROM: Dr. Eric Cobb, Founder, Z-Health Performance Solutions, LLC


To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend funding for Vocational Rehabilitation for soldiers enrolled in the Colorado Springs, CO coursework presented by National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) of Colorado.

My company, Z-Health Performance Solutions, LLC, has been closely associated with NPTI Colorado for several years. We are a fitness and healthcare education company that provides neuroscience-based training to all levels of health and fitness professionals, as well as therapists and physicians. In our association with NPTI Colorado, I have been consistently impressed with the extremely high level of ethical, science-driven education presented, as well as their dedication and focus on helping their students succeed not only in the educational process, but after graduation upon their entrance into the professional arena as well.

Additionally, Mr. Philippe Ray, the owner of NPTI Colorado, has consistently shown both the desire and ability to provide the highest levels of service, commitment, and support to his students and faculty at a level mostly unseen in this industry.

My overall impression of the NPTI Colorado curriculum, faculty and ownership all make it easy for me to recommend their program for funding. I strongly believe that they are fully capable of providing a very high level of service and education to soldiers seeking vocational rehabilitation (far above and beyond industry norms). I also feel that NPTI Colorado is equipped to do this for soldiers irrespective of any existing disabilities.

Finally, I believe it important to note that NPTI Colorado, along with my company, have been actively working with and supporting Lifequest Transitions – a non-profit organization based in Colorado whose sole focus has been working with wounded/disabled soldiers in the Warrior Transition Unit. Mr. Philippe Ray now sits on the Board of Directors for Lifequest and we both share a similarly large commitment to doing our best to provide a better quality of life for every soldier we can reach.

If you have any questions about this recommendation, please feel free to contact me at any time. I would be happy to provide you with further information in support of the NPTI Colorado program.

Thank you for your attention.

Kind Regards,

Dr. Eric Cobb

A recommendation for the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado
from a licensed medical doctor ….

FROM: Richard K. Stiverson, M.D.

To Whom it May Concern,

It is a pleasure to write a letter of reference for the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado (NPTI CO). My wife recently embarked on a second career as a personal trainer. After carefully researching all of the available programs in this region, she chose NPTI CO. In hindsight, as a physician, I could not be more pleased.

Having worked with physical therapists and having some familiarity with personal trainers, I found the education and training she received at NPTI CO to be unique and impressive in three particular areas: 1.) safety, 2.) disease and disability, and 3.) core knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

All doctors take part of our professional oath, “First, do no harm”, very seriously. It is the foundation of our profession. I was frankly astounded that this is also a cornerstone of NPTI CO education. Indeed, protection of clients’ health and well-being was one of the first subjects to be covered.

NPTI CO covers cardiovascular risk factors in detail. Students are well versed in CPR. My wife learned to perform a medical history review every bit as comprehensive as the nurses in my office. Most of the clients my wife has had to date are middle aged and almost all have had health issues that required her to modify their training regimens. This was second nature because it was practiced daily during her time at NPTI CO.

While many personal training school talk-the-talk about interest in disease and disability, their real focus is sports related training for the fit and the athletic. NPTI CO walks-the-walk in preparing its graduates to work with people who populate the real world.

Finally, I must comment on the depth and breadth of my wife’s exposure to anatomy and physiology. These are core subjects of my own education. With respect to these subjects, NPTI CO demands far more than is necessary to pass the certification examination. My wife and I continue to talk about exercise physiology. Unfortunately, when it comes to musculoskeletal anatomy and muscle physiology, my medical school education does not let me keep pace with her NPTI CO education.

For anyone interested in a career as a personal trainer, I cannot imagine a better opportunity that that afforded by the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado.

Sincerely,

Richard K. Stiverson, M.D.

He is also the winner of the NPC National Bodybuilding Championship and Founder and CEO of Coaching Leadership Excellence in Denver, Colorado. He is a certified NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapy practitioner, Life Coach, ACSM personal trainer, and personal growth and development trainer/speaker with "Peak Potentials" one of the largest personal development organizations in the world.

   "After 25 years the fitness industry I've see a lot of personal fitness trainers come and go. If I could identify one single element that makes the difference between those trainers that stick around, change lives, and create a successful even inspiring career in personal training, and those that simply move on, it would be confidence. The right certification, training, and experience at the start of any aspiring trainer's career is exactly what's needed to create not only the confidence but the much needed momentum to start them moving in the direction of success. That doesn't come with a few hours of reading a manual and taking a quick test."

   "Getting your personal trainer certification from the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado is no walk in the park. nor should it be. It takes commitment and dedication to be great. once you have completed the 500 hours of training under the guidance and tutelage of the NPTI Colorado instructors you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are ready to take on the challenges required to become a great trainer. Philippe Ray leads a program that is bar none one of the best in the country. I simply can't think of a better head start then the education and training from the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado. I wish it was around 25 years ago. "
