About NAFC
We build successful leaders in the health and fitness industry.
Mission Statement
We are changing the way the world does fitness instruction and delivery. We do this by adhering to a strict set of educational standards, creating and administering curriculum that truly prepares our students to succeed in this industry, and influencing the industry to require a higher level of regulation regarding training adherence and body movement science.
We give our students the education to become certified and to have an advantage that others don’t in the fitness industry. NAFC, with its higher standards and focus on practical application, helps our certifieds to be truly respected and relevant in their newly chosen career. And, we provide several career pathways and training depth for our certified trainers that continue to challenge and create opportunities for them in their chosen career!
When NAFC certifies and educates trainers, we not only teach them how to train, we provide them with the skills needed to succeed in the business of training.
