The Personal Trainer Certification from BTFA is unique. The class is limited to 8 students so everyone participates in every aspect of the class. This type of training allows each individual to learn the information in a setting that sets the trainer up for success. Most trainers fail because they aren’t taught how to sell themselves, add value in what they believe and offer a long range vision of Health and Fitness. At BTFA we do take whatever steps necessary to make our trainers successful, in and out of the workplace. After the class, we meet with each student for 2 hours to make sure they know the information, answer any questions they may have, offer job placement and continue a valued relationship. Our success is measured by your success. We look forward to our time together.
