Personal Training Certificate Program
The school is amazing and taught me a great deal. Switching careers from telesales to personal training is challenging, but the course definitely got me ready and up to speed. Now, I currently have a job at Equinox. -
Personal Training Certificate Program
I loved everything about the PT certificate program at AAPT! I was in Ciaran Cribbs class - an absolutely amazing instructor. I would like to say the BEST! I wholeheartedly believe that I could not have been in better hands and received better training than from him. He has a wealth of knowledge, brings it to his students in a serious, organized, understandable and interesting (and also entertaining) way and he has the hands on experience that helped us greatly to translate theory into real life. I looked forward to class each day and enjoyed every moment of the theoretical and practical portions of the course. As a new bee with little prior knowledge it was challenging but Ciaran was with us every step of the way and made sure that we understood, grasped and embodied not only the concepts but also the execution of the various forms that are part of personal training. I would and will highly recommend AAPT (and Ciaran) to anyone interested in Personal Training. -
Personal Training Certificate Program
I loved how hands on AAPT's program was. It allowed for opportunities to see where you made errors and fix them. All of the resources and people that are available to the students are endless. You get to experience trainers training their clients, ask questions and learn from others in person. My teacher was Tennille and she was very helpful as a teacher. She was very thorough and gave extra information that I think really helped alot.
