I'm a student of WIT In Las Vegas, NV. I'm going on week 5 and attend 1 day a wk for 6 hours. Three hours are spent in class for lecture and 3 hours for practical in the gym. I think this will be a good cert.

However I do not feel that it can be obtained in 6 weeks. Exercise Physiology, Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics is very in depth, which is a great thing, but after a one hour lecture and then studying at home, I personally feel I will not be prepared for the exam.

I am not alone with these feelings many and I'm referring to over half the class feel this way. I understand now why ACSM, ACE , NASM, ISSA, AFFA etc. have you do their study program 3 to 4 months before the weekend work shop. This is tough stuff and that is the only way you could be prepared.

I have a new respect for certified personal trainers, this is not a cake walk.

Good luck.

I have been a personal / fitness trainier for 21 years now. I have had a number of certifications W.I.T.S. being one of them. I think that it is a good program especially for the individual that has no experience. You get practical information and hands on experience. You also can ask a lot of questions to your instructor ( Something you cannot do with others because you are just reading a book ). For the record, ACE, NSCA, ACSM,NASM,and countless others have you simply study the book and take the test at a testing site. However, The study materials used were the "Ace Instructor Manual" and a small WITS book. They have you do hands on fitness testing as well which gives you practical experience. Ultimately it takes more than plain old book knowledge to be a good trainer. I feel like I have learned much more from my own research and practical knowledge throughout the years than from one book. I am not saying NOT to study the manuals. They do help a great deal as well.
Hope this helps.
