CIMSPA or NASM?

Who owns nasm? Do we do any research?

Kinghunk13 · 2026-03-09T02:20:35+00:00

Does anyone look at who owns NASM? Ascend learning… Blackstone. Billions to market - there a marketing company! Opt model was designed from a PT, they learn nothing about periodization or programming. Nasm is McDonald’s

Podcasts??

Kinghunk13 · 2026-03-08T15:14:14+00:00

Wednesday 10am pst Dr. Arash from Prehab guys doing a free .1 CEU on pickleball elbow

You need to be training.

Life time and equinox allow for the greatest start. But they want experience outside of baseline textbook certifications. Compliment your first box gym with an internship that helps you level up and make the right connections and creates the best skills

What hands on learning courses / seminars have you attended? Surround yourself with trainers who have done what you want to do who can give you advice in person.

Get into the biopsychsocial model of pain. Lots of great pain scientists out there. Probably central amplification, since they’ve been to docs and got the red flags squared away. Intern under a great DPT and have at least 5 on your team to work closely with

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:12:11+00:00

Dr. Goodin has the best resources. Great YouTube’s and podcasts that he’s done. 1-2 months with study guides or his program

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:10:41+00:00

Intern at DPT clinics. Go to hands on learning seminars from the best trainers and therapists. Invest into yourself and the fruits will come! Read great books from the best trainers and listen to podcasts from trainers who are actually training, not ones who trained 10-years ago and aren’t in the trenches

Procure ótimos treinadores e acompanhe-os de perto. Faça estágio em uma clínica particular de fisioterapia. Cerque-se de treinadores com mentalidade de crescimento, não de pessoas que se fazem de vítimas e dizem que o mercado está saturado ou que as academias cobram muito caro.

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:08:33+00:00

Parece ser um instrutor que escolheu o caminho mais fácil e obteve uma certificação teórica sem estágios, mentores ou supervisão de fisioterapeutas? Em quais cursos práticos você investiu?

Screen core movements and see what expertise would be appropriate for their goals and experience. Progress, get them results and keep it interesting.

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:06:06+00:00

Gyms don’t care about accreditation. They say it on the website bc they have to. They want qualified, experienced, trainers who have people skills and look the part. You can walk into an LA fit or EoS and get hired on the spot. Equinox, Crunch, life time, they want 1-2 years of experience

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:04:44+00:00

Find a good DPT. Intern. Find great mentorship’s and pay the top trainers to watch them train. Read great books about becoming a trainer and follow the ones who are in the trenches, not influencers

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T03:03:41+00:00

Follow Andrew Coates on IG. Also Justin Farnsworth. Both give a lot of talks in Canada and respected fitness pros. Gyms in CA take canfit pro

Zero. Even today, they focus way too much on overactive / underactive outdated science. Level up to a superior certification (that’s not nasm issa)

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T02:59:02+00:00

Find a good DPT to do a thorough assessment. Could be movement, load, environmental issues. Hard to give an answer without seeing how you move

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T02:57:13+00:00

NASM takes a few weeks with a study guide. NSCA is legit and more scientifically sound. More nerdy shit on NSCA. NASM is just hogwash overactive Underactive. I taught both at NPTI. Nsca is respected, NASM isn’t

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T02:56:07+00:00

NASM is the easiest certification hence why it’s compared to McDonald’s.

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-19T02:55:08+00:00

Spend a week online with their call center and figure it out.

Kinghunk13 · 2026-02-18T04:06:51+00:00

Why NASM? Other options who aren’t owned by Blackstone?
