Weight Trainer (WT)

Learn to teach safe & effective weight training for good health: train clients 1-on-1, teach bootcamp & circuit classes, 



This program focuses on use of equipment and exercises, safety, exercise precautions, exercise technique, training methods and program design. 

Students completing this certificate will be qualified to do basic fitness training with clients who do not present any major health problems.  WTs can train 1-on-1 (i.e. personal training) and can teach  non-choreography-based fitness classes such as small group resistance training, circuit training, boot camps, and HIIT classes.

Exams: Both a written and a practical exam are required to complete this course. Full certification also requires completion of the Exercise Theory course and a 1st Aid/ CPR certificate.  No certifications will be issued without ET and 1st Aid/CPR completed.

The written exam will be offered on the in-person day and is included in the course price.  If you are unable to write the exam that day, a 1-on-1 session with an exam proctor can be booked after your course is finished. We can also do exams online via Zoom if we do not have an exam proctor in your area. (An extra $35.00 fee applies for proctored exams)

Please also download the RT Completion Guide from our Certifications page for more information on the certification process.

**Please note, all students in WT must also complete Exercise Theory and have a current 1st Aid & CPR certificate before this certification will be issued.**

Do you need Exercise Theory? You can now take NSFA Exercise Theory online in a self paced online course. Click the link to learn more: EXERCISE THEORY ONLINE
