As an IPTA personal trainer, I’ve rediscovered

As an IPTA personal trainer, I’ve rediscovered what it means to create effective exercise programs. After being out of the game for 9 years due to my active duty in the Navy, I’ve only just returned to personal training this year. One thing I’ve learned is the importance of flexibility. Clients sometimes react differently than you expect, and you have to be ready to adapt on the spot. The IPTA CPT has truly revitalized my personal training career. It’s given me a solid foundation and opened up new chances for group exercise classes too. In terms of working with clients, I trained 2 high school varsity soccer players for 6 weeks, focusing on speed, agility, strength, and power. I challenged them with exercises they weren’t familiar with, and they embraced it, making noticeable progress each week. By the end, they had definitely improved from where they started. Through training those soccer players, I discovered that athletes are my preferred clients. Since I’m an athlete myself, I feel I can connect better with them compared to other clients. Looking back at my earlier years as a trainer, I wouldn’t have said the same thing. The best experience I’ve had as a trainer was working with those 2 soccer players.

My experience was really good!

My experience was really good! Trainer Academy offered a lot of different ways to learn, with helpful questions for the reading, images, and memory aids. I appreciated having the pacing guide to show me where I should be when I was taking the test. Finally, the practice quizzes and tests were very useful. I believed the difficulty and number of the exams were very beneficial. I felt more ready when I was doing the test.

This was a fantastic study tool.

This was a fantastic study tool. It aided me in creating mnemonics for remembering main concepts, and I used some of it to make my own linking stories to remember key areas! I was pleased to pass my proctored exam on the first try thanks to Trainer Academy!

I enjoy the domain quizzes

I enjoy the domain quizzes. They help me figure out what topics to study. This package has plenty of resources to help with studying and remembering the material.

The company was good, I liked

The company was good, I liked accessing study stuff. Many options, tools for everyone. I loved practice tests.

Not many courses for ACE CPT out there.

Not many courses for ACE CPT out there. But this one had all needed to pass the test. Thanks alot.

Well, Trainer Academy did assist

Well, Trainer Academy did assist me in passing the NSCA-CPT exam, so I can't deny its usefulness. However, it's not particularly groundbreaking. It basically lays out a study plan with a set number of weeks, chapters, and tests to complete within that timeframe.

It definitely helped me with my learning.

It definitely helped me with my learning. But, the system could use some improvements. For example, it lets you make practice exams where you can pick the number of questions and the chapters to include. I selected all chapters with 50 questions, finished the exam, then repeated the process, yet I got the exact same questions each time. Even after resetting it multiple times, I faced the same issue. Another reason I gave it 3 stars is because I was charged on January 7th, but I took my CSCS exam on January 8th. I passed the test, so I asked IPTA for a refund, either full or prorated, for January since I no longer needed it. They told me I wasn't eligible for any refund. That wasn't the answer I was hoping for, and it's made sure I won't use their service again. I will definitely let others know about this. Quite disapointing.
