    I signed up for NASM to become a physical fitness instructor. During the time that I was allotted to have the online course, I got severely hurt twice one time, losing a finger and the next time fracturing my spine. I contacted ****** six different times to ask for an extension, willingly wanting to send in doctors notes. I could never get a direct answer and I always got the runaround. I do have doctors notes for both incidences where I was laid up for over six months so I did ask for a six month extension for the online course, I was given a vague answer and then nothing happens

    Would give no stars if I could. I am deeply disgusted by how this business treats its network of trainers. Their predatory business practices exploit individuals for monetary gain, completely disregarding the hard work of the trainers. NASM's response to concerns is disheartening, as they require costly efforts for trainers to redo all of their work, if the recertification window lapses, without any regard for the expenses associated with having to redo the beginning CPT course. The appeal timeframe is a sham, and the requirement to re certify every two years is, as I have mentioned, predatory in its financial demands. This is unacceptable but not surprising since NASM operates like a greedy corporation. I will NEVER recommend NASM what a waste of money and time!!!!
