Personal Training Institute Of America (ptia)

In 2013, I successfully completed my personal training certification through PTIA. Within 3 months, I was able to convert the education I received into a successful personal training business. My personal training business is focused on the functional fitness needs of baby boomers. As a baby boomer myself, I am particularly sensitive to the incredible importance of fitness to the quality of life as we age. I have been able to continue my education through numerous on line and classroom courses which have been valuable in providing information I can use to assist my clients’ exercise and fitness programs even those who have specific challenges, such as shoulder or knee issues. Using the latest tools for measuring fitness that I learned in my certification class, I have been able to see tangible results such as increases in flexibility, weight loss, endurance, strength and balance. I work with individuals as well as couples and conduct group exercise classes. PTIA has helped me help baby boomers live an active and healthy life.

I've been certified through the PTIA since 2009. Through this program I received a solid foundation in the field of Personal Training. This program has taught me client assessment, proper techniques and a hands on balanced approach to help me become successful In the field I love . I'd recommend this program to anyone else who shares the same dream. I will continue to be a part of the PTIA and would encourage all others as well to join us .

My name is Prince Brock I'm an athlete and certified personal trainer through PTIA. I obtained my certification in 2016 and soon after created my own business, Brock Elite Training. The solid knowledge and foundation I received from the program gave me the ability to make my trainings and style possible. I have worked with over 35 clients personally including aspiring fitness models and collegiate athletes from LIU Post, Hofstra University, Mount Saint Mary's college and Dutchess community college. With the continuously support and guidance of the great Nadia Ellis, I can stay up to date and continue to grow in the world of fitness. No matter how advance my fitness level or education gets I will always revert to what I learned on day one in the classes. Make your dream your reality it starts here.

I have been a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer through PTIA for going on ten years now. The certification course that I took with Nadia Ellis was great because I was able to get both classroom training and hands on training. I enjoyed the training so much that once I completed all of my certification requirements, I decided to assist Nadia for another personal training course that she taught at Hudson Valley Community College. Assisting with the course was very beneficial because I was able to learn even more through Nadia on how to be a proper trainer as I had more of an instructor role helping teach other students. Soon after becoming completely certified, I was able to get a job at a gym where I trained both individual and group clients. Having a specialty in boxing, I was also able to teach group boxing classes. While continuing to be certified as a trainer, I have also been able to work in the supplement industry for a number of years where I have acquired knowledge in nutritional supplementation.

In March of 2014 I made a decision to start a career in personal training. I looked all over for a hands on certification. Sure, there are plenty of personal training certifications out there but very few like this! Most are over the computer with no real interactions with others. I got my certification in September, 2014 after completing the two day hands on course at Ramapo college. I have been off to the races since then. I started at title boxing club, retro fitness, and now I own my own personal training company (EDGE Training). I work in home and in gyms to deliver my clients results. I also work at corporations training their staff and have taken on small and large group training classes. Needless to say the certification and the knowledge P.T.I.A has taught me has payed off!

Thank you Nadia and PTIA for opening the door and leading me to the path I am on today; a dedicated yoga practitioner, teacher, and personal trainer leading people to a safe health and wellness journey. After taking my training with PTIA I wanted more, and I decided to become a yoga teacher, and now I’m honored to have started a great yoga and wellness community at my humble studio in Northvale NJ.

I love Star Pilates! I have been going for a while now and have worked with both Amy and Megan. They are both amazing! My 55-minute sessions fly by, and they work my entire body. They are awesome workouts for both my body and my mind, and I wouldn't give them up for anything. I highly recommend Star Pilates!
