See what our past students have to say about their NPTI Colorado experience.
We start with excerpts from a Letter of Recommendation from
NPTI Colorado Graduate, Steven F., to a student
considering enrollment with NPTI Colorado:
Steven F., NSCA-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, ACSM-CPT, ACE-CPT and NPTI Graduate
"I highly recommend NPTI. It was an excellent experience personally & professionally."
"I came from sales management in the healthcare field looking for a career (not a job)."
"I did my research and found that NPTI would offer me as much or more than going back to school. At NPTI you get both the science and the hands-on experience that you need to be the best personal trainer."
"I made the most of my time during the 6- month course and earned certifications from National Strength and Conditioning Association NSCA-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, American College of Sports Medicine ACSM-CPT, American Council on Exercise ACE-CPT. I was prepared to pass the toughest personal training tests that there are. Every certification I took is the top of their field. NPTI prepared me for those certifications 100%."
"You also mentioned an Internet course. ABSOLUTELY not worth it! You would be better off picking up a copy of NSCA's Essentials of Personal Training. You will learn to be a personal trainer at NPTI Colorado!"
"I have been an in-home personal trainer for over two years now. My 1st year in business I did $55,000 and 2nd year I did over $80,000."
"I highly recommend NPTI Colorado; they got me to where I am today!"
Mesfin Felleke , NSCA-CPT and NPTI Graduate
"It gives me great pleasure to share my educational experiences at the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado (NPTI). For those of you who are serious about becoming a successful personal trainer, look no further. Just about a year ago, I literally did the legwork for you, traveling from California to Arizona and from Nevada to Colorado, in my quest to figure out which personal trainer school and why. Today, I am a successful personal trainer working in a locally owned health club in Central California. As a graduate of NPTI and a certified personal trainer (NSC-CPT), I enjoy the prestige of being dubbed as "the point man" for answers to clients' as well as sales staff inquiries on weight loss, nutrition, exercise program design, training methodologies.etc. "
"All credit goes to the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado. The program of study, spanning over six months, of theoretical and practical skills is intense and rigorous. While the lectures given on fitness theories are superb and exceptionally relevant, the high standard of practical training conducted daily in the schools' fully equipped gym is the perfect ground to learn the most current protocols for up and coming personal trainers. The text books and study materials on training and nutrition combined with numerous case studies and muscle practical assignments are designed to ensure the competency of each student to meet the challenges stemming from certification exams and professional obligations. The individual as well as the collective knowledge of the instructors is worth volumes and the anecdotal stories of each instructor in the field is enriching beyond measure."
"The staff of NPTI, from the front desk to the office of the director, is welcoming and highly supportive. The relaxed and fun atmosphere in which all students are encouraged to be themselves without judgment is most conducive for learning. Although it is fun and unpretentious, NPTI demands the highest level of commitment to excellence from all its students for its reputation is invested on each and every graduating student. The portfolio that each graduating student is asked to put together conveys a distinct educational journey and is a persuasive tool of self-promotion to a prospective employer."
"Thus, I strongly urge all future personal trainers to acquire their foundational education in personal training at the National Personal Training Institute of Colorado. When you do, you will have gotten the best education that money can buy. I know I have."
David Corder, NSCA-CPT and NPTI Graduate
"Choosing NPTI was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Having been a dancer, singer, actor for years I needed a new career. One that involved my love for the physical and would allow me to help the people I cared for. NPTI gave me the tools and the education to fulfill both. The book studies were intense. I felt many times like I was studying to be a doctor. The practical studies were incredible. Taking me from just being "fit" to "extreme athlete."
"After graduating from NPTI I was able to work at The University of Denver as a group fitness instructor and the YMCA hired me on the spot. I have started my own private studio and in the first three months went from "0" income to almost $3000 per month. Thanks to Philippe, the owner, and all of my instructors at NPTI I have a new career that makes me feel great and gives me the time and resources to live life the way I want to."
Alison Eichten, NPTI, AAI / ISMA, CSCS
"My personal experience at the National Personal Training Institute has not only been educational, but lucrative as well. NPTI properly prepared me for NSCA's CSCS exam which I took and passed in early June 2005"
"In late June, I began interning at The University of Denver Ritchie Center in Denver, CO where I refined my abilities as a personal trainer and acquired the skills to manage and organize a personal training operation. I worked closely with Michael Murray learning the in's and out's of administrative work and the art of teaching group classes."
"I gained experience writing athletic conditioning programs and taught several classes including Cycling, Extreme Lift Boot Camp, Athletic Conditioning and Abs. Upon completion of my internship at The Ritchie Center, I was hired as a personal trainer for The Coors Fitness Center and began another internship with the University of Denver's Division I Athletic Department."
"I currently have several regular clients I train twice a week and in November, I began teaching a specialty class in Winter Sport Conditioning."
"As you can see, NPTI truly excels in preparing their students and graduates for success in the world of fitness."
Kris Barrow, CPT and NPTI Graduate
"My name is Kris Barrow and I graduated from NPTI in October, 2004. I can't say enough about how great my experience was at the school, and how well it prepared me for a career in the personal training industry."
"Since graduation, I have been able to build a solid mobile personal training business in Northern Colorado. My company, B-Fit Mobile Personal Training is currently generating between $6,000 and $7,000 per month and growing. I am also in the process of hiring my first employee, and am looking forward to a great 2006!"
"The education I received at NPTI was top notch. I learned so much, and felt comfortable stepping into the role of a personal trainer and business owner. The instructors at NPTI are some of the best. I had the pleasure of learning from Kurt in the Saturday class and I am so appreciative of the knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm he brought to the table each and every week. Kurt was always there to help and honestly cared about our success in the industry. Dan Agresti, another instructor, personally inspired me to start my own mobile personal training business. And Phil has been a huge part of my success by continually sharing resources that we as trainers can use on an ongoing basis."
"I would recommend NPTI to anyone looking to start a career as a personal trainer. Thank you NPTI and staff for everything you have done and continue to do, and I look forward to continually working with you in the future."
Dianne Bridges, CPT and NPTI Graduate
"The students from the Colorado Springs graduating class want to pass along to you how much we appreciate Erin and our many, many thanks to her for a job well done!!!!"
"Throughout the last six months, Erin has always been there for each of us, has always taken the extra step to ensure that we would learn, and she always shared her vast experiences to bring the text book teachings into real life situations."
"Bottom line, Erin is a great teacher....she cares, she's knowledgeable and she is motivated to help individuals learn. The best qualities to find in an instructor & education director."
"On behalf of all of us, I want to say thank you and great job!!!"
Tom V., NPTI Graduate
"Heidi is a superb teacher and great with people. She does an awesome teaching job!"
Roxanne H., NPTI Graduate
"When asked what we wanted to know more about, you responded by bringing in "Dan the Man" ... (an expert on rehabilitative personal training therapies) ... thanks for being so responsive!"
Laurence D., NPTI Graduate
"I like the fact that Kurt covers everything we do in the eight room. I'm learning a lot from Kurt because of the time he spends making sure that we understand." Deborah C. "The class exceeded my expectations and the instructor had very comprehensive knowledge. I was surprised by the depth of the program ... it was much more than I expected."
