70 year old CPT

I couldn’t be happier about my experience with IPTA! I’m 70 years old and wanted to help other seniors achieve their health goals. Becoming a CPT and sharing my knowledge with other seniors seemed like a great way to do that. I was able to complete the IPTA CPT course and take and pass my final exam in a little less than a month! So, many thanks to IPTA!The knowledge that I’ve gained will benefit many others!PS- A big thanks to Kendall at IPTA! You went above and beyond for me!!

IPTA was the simplest and smartest choice!

Going with IPTA for my certificate and education was a no brainer! Everything they do has come from them making it as straight forward as possible for anyone to learn and master the content they provide. Everything feels seamless and isn't outdated like many other providers out there. I went through a few others in the past, but I was able to get the most from IPTA! Just do it! You won't regret it.

Great Program

I earned my certification through IPTA two years ago, and it truly changed the course of my life! Today, I’m working as a trainer at my dream gym, and I’m so grateful for the knowledge and confidence the IPTA program gave me. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start their career in fitness.

My Journey as an IPTA Certified Personal Trainer

Becoming an IPTA Certified Personal Trainer has been a truly transformative experience, both for my career and for the well-being of my clients. The certification process itself was seamless and smooth, a testament to the organization's efficiency. I especially want to commend the IPTA representatives, particularly Kendall, who was incredibly prompt and helpful in answering all my questions and ensuring a successful exam-taking experience.The materials provided were genuinely engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the methodologies and immediately applying that knowledge. It wasn't just theoretical; I found myself using these training principles not only with my clients but also in my own workout regimens, seeing tangible changes in my body. This hands-on application solidified my understanding and boosted my confidence.This certification has profoundly impacted my career by equipping me with the expertise to guide others effectively. A standout experience that truly shaped my journey was diving deep into how to adapt stretching and exercise routines for individuals with injuries or specific issues, such as back pain. Learning these specialized techniques has been invaluable. It has empowered me to genuinely improve the quality of life for my clients, helping them move more freely and with less discomfort. This ability to make a real, tangible difference for people struggling with physical limitations has given me immense meaning, joy, and sustained motivation in this line of work. It’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can have as certified professionals.

Inaccurate study material

I have been using this program to study for the CSCS test. Though I have found it helpful I did not help me pass my exam. I also found multiple inconsistencies between the information in the study material vs the information in the textbook. The practice tests do not provide the correct answers and some of the flash cards are also incorrect as compared to the textbook. I also reached out to them multiple times about this and have gotten no response from them. I do not feel like they care about the information they are putting out or making sure that issues within their program are fixed. Would not recommend.

CPT with Trainer Academy

I completed my IPTA CPT with trainer academy in 2023. It was an amazing opportunity to become a Certified Personal Trainer in an affordable way. I found the learning materials easy to follow and passed my exam first time! The team are very friendly and found them responsive to emails.

Outstanding Customer Service!

The customer service was outstanding and I had a good experience with the product. 5 star customer service.The product itself has some holes — some of the material just doesn't make sense. It doesnt align perfectly with the ACE textbook even though it is sorted by chapters, and the material has some odd typos/sentences that just do not make sense but it is a solid study material.

IPTA is an emerging company

IPTA is an emerging company. They of course do not yet compare with the personal training companies that have been around for decades and have true international renown. that being said, if IPTA maintains their accreditation they have the potential to be a consistent choice for beginners. I used them as my first certification because of their affordability and free access to study materials. At the time when I applied (spring 2023) they did not have a robust training program, so I did have to be very internally motivated in order to pass the test. I am now two years later and considering rectifying with them because they are still more affordable then the rest… and in honesty if you are creating your personal training business like myself the certifying company does not really matter. Whether it’s NASM, ISSA, or IPTA what matters is how much you apply yourself, do the extra research for your clients, and treat each client with dignity. One recommendation I would suggest for them is to host their own online CEU courses or partner with a third party that does. I think if that was included in a package they offer that would be an easy one stop shop and a no brainer.

My training experience was excellent

My training experience was excellent. The reading material they provide is very thorough and I learned a lot. It's no wonder why they are great at what they do. I would recommend this certification to everybody looking to get into personal training or, like myself, doing it for pleasure/to add to your knowledge base
