National Academy on Sports Medicine (NASM)

NASM courses were developed using our proprietary Optimum Performance Training™ (OPT™) model, a system based on scientific, evidence-based research. These courses maximize your skills and ability to help your clients excel beyond ordinary expectations, while improving your career opportunities.

If you prefer a program with a more scientific approach, consider enrolling in a personal trainer certification course from NASM. It’s heavily grounded in science and sports medicine, as they place a heavy emphasis on injury prevention and integrating corrective exercise into regular training. NASM’s flagship Optimum Performance Training (OPT) training system is in its 30th year. This system is based on scientific, evidence-based research, and was developed to concurrently improve all functional abilities, including flexibility, core stabilization, balance, strength, power, and cardiorespiratory endurance.

In addition to their Personal Trainer Program NASM offer specialist training in Corrective Exercise, Performance and a wide rife of continued education programs.
