With the cost of fuel and today's fast paced schedules, why waste valuable time and money traveling long distances for training and testing when you can learn at your own pace and test at a time and place that fits into your schedule without the expense of lengthy traveling.

FITNESS INDUSTRY STANDARDS

It is becoming increasingly important that the fitness industry establish and maintain standards of quality assurance and safety. NAFC is dedicated to providing our instructors with a complete education. We constantly look for ways to improve our programs.

National Association for Fitness Certification (NAFC) is pleased to announce that we have been accepted as provisional affiliates to the National Board of Fitness Examiners (NBFE). This is a method of insuring credibility in the fitness industry and creating a national standard of practice for our field. Visit the NBFE Website for details

The fitness industry is changing and it is confusing at times. NAFC recently received an in-depth review about these changes in the fitness industry. If you are a certified fitness professional or are preparing to enter a fitness career you will benefit from reading "Understanding the Accreditation and Certification Controversy" by Tammy Peterson, MSE. We at NAFC would be happy to send you a special e-mail with the article as an attachment. Please reply to NAFC and request your copy.

An important point to remember is that you have a choice in both your fitness education and in where you work as a fitness professional. Many choose to work for the large health clubs and must adhere to the educational choices they recommend. Other fitness professionals find that they have a better career by starting their own business and making their own choices. NAFC is happy to help you reach your career goals!!

STUDENT COMMENTS

I have to tell you I am very impressed with NAFC. I wasn't sure what to expect from a home study course, but in all honesty I think if you are serious about teaching you can actually learn more doing this than a 2 or 3 day workshop…

I am enjoying teaching, and proud to say I'm certified with NAFC. The feedback has been so positive about my class that it has motivated me even more. I read and re-read sections of the training books and I try to bring a "tip" or two with me each session. The students enjoy it so much…I'm so excited to be teaching.

Thank you,
Susan Gazerro
