The National Academy of Sports Medicine® Offers FREE Personal Training Program for Government Workers Impacted by the Partial Shutdown

The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM™) announced it will waive
the $699 fee for its Personal Training Certification program for federal
employees needing special assistance during the U.S. government shutdown.

“At NASM, we’re passionate about helping people transform lives through
health and fitness. With so many government workers struggling to make
ends meet during this shutdown, we feel a responsibility to provide a
path of new opportunities,” said Laurie McCartney, President, Global
Fitness & Wellness Solutions, Ascend Learning. “We empower government
workers to turn their passion for fitness into a new career. We give
them the training and the resources to help make those dreams come true.”

Federal workers who take advantage of this limited time offer could
become an NASM Certified Personal Trainer in as little as 10 weeks. Once
they successfully pass the certification exam, they will have the
benefit of setting their own hours and enjoying the job security of
working in an industry that is expected to grow more than 16% through
2020.¹

Eligible customers are encouraged to contact a Program Advisor at [email protected]
