Fitness Mentors Reviews 494

I've done my CPT & CNS certifications through Fitness Mentors and really could not say enough good things about my experience. The course layout is fool proof and caters to different learning styles, and you feel very supported by Eddie & his team as you advance through your career.

I just completed the first 3 chapter sections of the NASM CPT Course and I appreciate the structure and enjoy going through each section. I appreciate both the presentation lecture and audio lecture provided. I like how the lessons are not excruciatingly long and how they are easy to digest. I look forward to completing the course.

I have been working with fitness Mentors, specifically Eddie Lester, for about 5 weeks now and I have to say I am beyond happy that I have found a company that offers such superior mentoring services. I am a newly certified personal trainer, and Eddie has been an amazing mentor and coach and has really taken my knowledge of training and human physiology to the next level. Eddie has really given me the tools I need to gain confidence in my training ability and in helping me with great programming for my clients to ensure my long term success as a trainer. Eddie a a great listener, very encouraging, extremely knowledgable, and a very pleasant person to work with. I would recommend both him and Fitness Mentors very highly to anyone who wants to take their skills as personal trainer to the next Level!

This was such a straight-forward approach to learning the many detailed layers of becoming a certified personal trainer. The material was easy to understand and comprehend. Eddie broke down the concepts in an easy to understand way. Overall, I would recommend Fitness Mentors to anyone who is ready to take the leap and becoming a CPT!

Becoming certified with Fitness Mentors was the best decision for me. Not only did I learn valuable information that will carry my career forward, but also importantly they focused on business and marketing, which is the cornerstone of personal training. The lectures were very informative and easy to listen to. All of the certifications were reasonably priced as well. I’m very glad I chose Fitness mentors and will continue to do my continuing education credits through them as well, which I have done recently. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to pursue a personal training career.

This program has been helpful in setting a timeline for me to be consistent with my learning. I appreciate the reminders to stay on track and the way that the content is formatted.

I recently completed my Certified Personal Trainer certification through Fitness Mentors, and I can confidently say the program exceeded my expectations. As someone coming into the fitness industry with passion but no formal background, I needed a course that was both comprehensive and understandable.

The structured curriculum was fantastic. It broke down complex topics like exercise physiology, program design, and nutrition into digestible modules. The material wasn't just about memorizing facts to pass an exam; it was about truly understanding the "why" behind the exercises, which is crucial for working with real clients.

The video content was a game-changer for me. Having an instructor explain the concepts visually made all the difference in grasping things like proper form and assessment techniques. The practice exams and quizzes were incredibly accurate to the actual certification test, which made me feel prepared and confident on exam day.

What truly sets Fitness Mentors apart, however, is their focus on the business of personal training. The modules on client acquisition, sales, and building your brand provided a realistic and invaluable perspective that many other programs completely ignore.

If you're looking for a certification that equips you with both the scientific knowledge and the practical tools to succeed, look no further. I am now a certified personal trainer, and I owe a huge part of my readiness to Fitness Mentors. Highly recommended!

My experience has been outstanding, thanks to the seamless integration of clear, engaging audio and well-crafted slides that effectively highlight key points from each chapter.

Clear and concise material + explanations. I love that there are assignments as well as practice questions to further apply the knowledge from the lectures. Thank you for this amazing resource.

I am retraining after 8 years away from training. Another course I paid for (which I won't mention ) was fairly informative but I am sooooo happy that I downloaded this one as it has been fantastic!!....and to be honest , I can't believe that it's free.
This course will be the one that actually helps me repass my test and I am so grateful for the in depth training that it provides!!
5 stars all the way .
Thank you very much Fitness Mentors!!

I’ve now gone through both the initial certification and renewal process with Fitness Mentors, and I can confidently say they make everything simple, efficient, and stress-free—exactly what I was hoping for in a CPT program. One thing that really stands out about Fitness Mentors is their customer service. Anytime I had a question—whether it was about course access, CEUs, or renewal deadlines—they were quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and always friendly.

Ive completed Ch. 1-3 so far of the NASM study information and it is very helpful! Its engaging and I love that it is free considering I am a college student!

4.5 Stars in reality, not 4. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because I rarely give 5 stars to anything, just high standards, BUT if they just tweak the 2 preparation exams to include a little bit more questions present in the final exam I would give it 5 stars.

I like the lessons very much, the slides with the voice over explanations are very concise, practical and a fast way to remember the materials.

The FORM model of designing programs is also very structured and gives you a nice baseline to feel confident at designing training programs in case you are new to personal training.

I had no issues with support, on the contrary they were very prompt and helpful.

Overall its a helpful tool!

Good price. All of the chapter practice elements here very helpful for active recall. More video visuals would be nice to see things in practice would be helpful for people who are visual learnings and need to see it to process it.

FM Certified Personal Trainer Program

A few weeks ago, I completed the Certified Personal Trainer program and would like to comment that it was a relevant and complete experience. The program was so easy to follow, highly educational, with many audiovisuals, guides, detailed presentations and helpful practice exams. It is amazing how much value and care Eddie Lester and his team have put into their courses and materials. If you are thinking about becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and you're worried about getting your certification online and getting the most amount of value for your money whilst getting a great customer service and experience, I have to strongly recommend Fitness Mentors to all future personal trainers or any person interested in fitness training. I appreciate Eddie and the FM team for the attention, help and exceptional support throughout the whole course. Thank you guys.

I am very disappointed in Fitness mentors with the lack of response/ customer service. The coure materials is pretty good and I was able to pass my CPT exam on the first try, but as soon as I passed it I couldn’t find my certificate which means I cant show that I passed it. Nothing in my account shows I even purchased the bundle, and nobody would respond to my emails, very frustrating.

The official NASM prep course left me woefully unprepared, and I'm so glad someone pointed me to Fitness Mentors before I signed up for the test. I don't think I would have passed without it. My only complaint is that the training material had a few factual inaccuracies. However, the topics were covered so thoroughly that the mistakes were easy to catch. Finally, I'd recommend you get a paper copy of the NASM book to read along with the audio lessons. The text will match the lesson better, and you'll be able to highlight and make notes as you go. Good luck!

This program is helping me so much with my nasm cert. I love the audio lectures, and powerpoint presentations, and the hw and quiz have been so beneficial. Eddie does such a great job at explaining complicated topics in a simplistic way. So glad I found this.

This is my second time taking this course and I am very happy again with the lecture. I truly appreciate the time and effort that Fitness Mentors has put into making the information available to those preparing for the NASM CPT. Thank you Eddie and the FM Team!
