"PFTA changed my life forever!!"
- Jerry B.

Merry Christmas from PFTA and Santa Clause
See you all in 2010!!!

My name is Cindy Campbell and I am a proud graduate of PFTA. From the start I was so comfortable with the school, the instructor, and all the other students. I tried one of those online courses before going to PFTA. And all I have to say is, that was the worst mistake ever. I would recommend going to PFTA before taking any test. Mark Jackson was my instructor for the duration of the school. He was so detailed in the way he taught the class, that he made it totally worth going every day. I was never the type of person who liked going to school, but after attending PFTA, I wish the course was longer. I miss you guys and thank you so much for every thing you've done. I am now very confident in myself as a trainer and I love my new professional life. I am lucky to be able to wake up and know that I'm going to enjoy my day from start to finish. Once again, thank you PFTA!

A big thanks to PFTA! I heard about PFTA schools through a fellow graduate and she made it sound so great and well worth it that I signed up. Needless to say she was right! The knowledge, hands-on experience, and friendships you gain are priceless. Not to mention the fun, supportive, and patient instructors working for PFTA. A mix of classroom lecture and gym time create the perfect environment for all seeking to be personal trainers. You leave the program feeling confident to take on clients with great potential for success. Once again thanks PFTA!

“I would like to say that your school, the curriculum and your staff have exceeded my expectations. What I have learned is immeasurable and relevant to my needs. The energy in the classroom is great and Mark does a phenomenal job. He is extremely knowledgeable, engaging and at times, extremely entertaining. It's been a great experience! Really! I am very excited about my prospects in this booming industry. I have no doubts that I will do PFTA proud and will recommend the school highly to others. Keep up the good work.”

My instructor was great. The material we covered in class and at the gym was relative to personal training. I started my job right after graduation as a personal trainer with the Texas Wrestling Academy. Thanks PFTA for everything!
- James L.

It was a big risk quitting my job to become a personal trainer; but, helping people was my passion. Not only have I made personal training a rewarding career, I have also learned a lot about myself and my workouts. After tweaking my workouts the last few months, I have grown bigger and stronger than ever. Thanks PFTA!

(update: Greg won a bodybuilding show in San Antonio, Texas.)

The program has helped me start my own business. I really enjoyed the hands-on training at the gym. With the practical training, I am really comfortable training clients in my home or at their home. Training is going really well, I'm averaging 35+ training hours a week. I have several clients who have been with me for over a year and we have really changed their bodies and mental outlooks. I am forever grateful to you, PFTA.

PFTA provided an education that goes beyond online certifications. The atmosphere is conducive to to learning and you learn more than any of the online certifications offer. The staff is friendly and helpful and the other students share your goals and provide camaraderie.

Job Outlook

From the U.S. Depart of Labor:

Employment of fitness workers is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations through 2014. An increasing number of people spend more time and money on fitness, and more businesses are recognizing the benefits of health and fitness programs and other services such as wellness programs for their employees.

Most students earn their money back by training 2 or 3 clients within the first month of graduation. You have nothing to lose and LOTS to gain!

We had a 93% employment rate in 2008.
