National Personal Training Institute of Philadelphia

The Personal Training School is unlike other certifications - the gym is our classroom. We believe that personal trainers need hands on experience; therefore, 200 hours is spent in the gym. This is coupled with our 300 hours of theory learning (anatomy, physiology, nutrition). As the nation’s largest school system devoted to personal training, the Personal Training School’s mission is to prepare its students to become personal trainers & fitness professionals. The Personal Training School strongly believes that self-study programs are not sufficient to become a qualified personal trainer & instead advocates that personal trainers need to attend a program that is in a gym and classroom setting.
