Fantastic experience: Greg has been an amazing trainer. I had a previous trainer that didn’t pay attention to my movements and just made me complete the workout without any corrections. That trainer didn’t create the most welcoming environment and I was scared that I was going to injure myself. But not Greg. He is so welcoming and motivating. He is so attentive and I love that he corrects posture for every exercise making sure my shoulders don’t shift too forward or I don’t hyper extend. I explained to Greg that I have chronic knee pain and an ankle injury that’s been taking a while to heal. He tailored workouts for my specific injuries and creates exercise to strengthen the muscles around it. I also love that he is super flexible with my busy work schedule. He will really work with you to get you in because he genuinely cares about making people healthier and stronger. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Greg as a personal trainer! He was personable, easy going, and professional. He helped set me up to be successful in achieving my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Greg has always been extremely helpful in reaching my personal fitness goals while being very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Greg and he is great! He is a very knowledgeable trainer. Before starting he clearly demonstrates the warmup/workout and shows me what muscles will be targeted. I’ve been on and off with weight training and he has been helping me feel confident, comfortable, and supported. I highly recommend training here with Greg!

Fantastic experience: As a former fitness instructor and trainer, I know a good trainer and instructor when I see one. Babs is one of the best I've seen. Her classes are well thought out, fun, effective, and uplifting! She explains and demonstrates each exercise clearly, making sure everyone knows what to do and how to do it. She also pays attention to her students, making needed corrections to their form and encouraging them in their efforts. She pushes and challenges but always just the right amount. Her 1 on 1 training sessions are just as great as her classes. You always leave feeling great, like you worked hard, but it was just right for you. In a city full of fitness instructors and trainers, there are few that stand out like Babs does! She's the best of the best!

Fantastic experience: Barbara “Babs” is the best trainer! She’s absolutely fantastic, recommend to everyone at any level.

Fantastic experience: Babs is the BEST!! I had never truly enjoyed working out before and considered it such a chore until I started working with Babs. Now I LOVE it and tbh am bummed on the days that I don't work out with her. Also her class BODY BY BABS is a BLAST - so fun to go with friends and workout together before brunch on a Saturday.

Fantastic experience: Babs is the BEST! You wanna be pumped? You go to her. You wanna be trim? You go to her. 1000% most incredible training experience of my life!

Fantastic experience: Ivan has been my trainer for the last year, and I couldn't be happier with him. I came to him for general health improvements and the benefits of weight training. Not only is he a highly skilled personal trainer, he's truly rooting for you as a coach and as a friend. Even on the days I don't want to work out, you just gotta show up and do what Ivan tells you to do!! You won't regret it. I'm approaching the best shape of my adult life, and Ivan has been a huge part of it!! Yeeeeeeaaaa buddy!!!!

Fantastic experience: Mariah is a great instructor. My son is disabled and she teaches him with so much sensitivity and humor. We have been able to reduce some of my son's medications since we started working out at Show Up with Mariah. I am turning 70 in a week, and I am losing weight and feeling stronger every week. Mariah is very skilled. My son and I enjoy the classes, so we keep going. THANK YOU MARIAH ☺️ .

Fantastic experience: I have Babs as a personal trainer and she is wonderful with 1 on 1. She totally tailors the workouts around my physical disabilities while still making sure I am pushing myself and making progress. I also take her weekend classes and always feel ready for the week afterwards!

Fantastic experience: Greg was a wonderful personal trainer. I came to Greg at Show Up after I injured myself working out on my own. I was an amateur and knew I needed some help. As an athlete he was able to adjust to my needs and wants while also giving feedback to tell me what needs to get done to see future results. He was able to work with my busy schedule and I appreciated that a lot. He had each workout planned out very well while isolating muscles in a circuit type training system. He even gave me nutritional advice and created a spreadsheet for me to tend to and create a good meal plan. I knew that my desired goals would get met with Greg based on the first day. My form was already better in our first training session. He made sure that I was doing the proper exercise correctly without hurting myself. I saw incredible results in about just short of a month. I didn’t know I was able to lift such heavy weights for certain exercises but Greg made that possible for me.

Fantastic experience: My personal trainer Greg has helped me reach my goals and has kept me accountable to my training. I've learned a great deal about optimized programing that I will take with me in the future. Not only is my trainer A1 the facilities at Show Up are welcoming, bright, and spacious. Would highly recommend anyone to reach out and start training at Show Up fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of working with Mariah as my personal trainer for the past year, and I can confidently say that she is the best trainer I've ever had. Mariah is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but she is also a great listener and truly cares about her clients' goals and progress. From the very beginning, Mariah took the time to get to know me and understand my fitness goals. She designed a personalized workout plan that was challenging but achievable, and she was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. She also provided guidance on nutrition and lifestyle changes, which helped me to achieve my goals more quickly. What I appreciate most about Mariah is her ability to motivate and inspire me. She never lets me give up on myself and always pushes me to be my best. She knows just how to push me out of my comfort zone and help me reach new levels of fitness and strength. Mariah is a true professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, she will work with you to achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself. She's an amazing trainer and an even better person, and I'm grateful to have had her as my personal trainer. If you're looking for a trainer who will truly care about your success, look no further than Mariah. She's the real deal!

Fantastic experience: Ivan is an amazing personal trainer that I highly recommend! I have been training with Ivan for almost a year now and it’s been incredibly fun and I have gotten amazing results! Not only is Ivan fun, positive and sweet, he is also very flexible and never hesitates to accommodate his clients’ busy work and life schedules. Soon after I started training with Ivan, I felt so much more comfortable going to the gym by myself, which I used to feel very intimidated by. Ivan is very knowledge about strength training, metabolic conditioning, the anatomy of the body, etc. He will teach you great form while pushing and challenging you to get the results you are looking for - you just need to “SHOW UP”! It’s been an incredible and transformative journey for me; my body has never felt stronger, leaner or more toned! I couldn’t recommend enough starting your personal training journey with Ivan!!

Fantastic experience: Never have I had more fun working out than babs’ group class. SUCH a great work out while playing some blasts from the past. She always corrects our form while dancing around and having fun. working out should always be a little fun. ♥️

Fantastic experience: 10/10!! Love this course - babz is my fav teacher :D

Fantastic experience: Babs cultivates a culture in her workout bootcamps that is flawless. Every week we show up and are met with a class that emphasizes technique, positive intentions, and rewarding yourself for just showing up while we put in serious work. As a bonus, the music she picks is always amazing and represents selections across various genres. I could not recommend her programs more highly and think they would be great for people of all levels.

Fantastic experience: Started my fitness journey at Show up Fitness a little over a year ago & MY GOD, I’m so thankful to have found this amazing place. All the trainers are super nice, the gym is really clean & this place means serious business been training with Babs, specifically for my BodybyBabs & I die everytime. My strength, mental stamina and overall physique have improved ever since I started my fitness journey with my trainer. I know it’s super cliche to live in LA and have a personal trainer but I wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s changed my life & im forever grateful to her, our workout routine and having her as part of my fitness journey! If you’ve gotten this far in reading this— and considering to start your own fitness journey, there’s no other time but now!

Fantastic experience: Babs is the best! I see her for both 1 on 1 and group classes and enjoy them every time. The routine is always switched up so we’re never doing the same things and I’ve really been able to get stronger with her help. Highly suggest!!

Fantastic experience: Babs is my trainer and she is the best - beside the fact that she is so smart she is so so kind and really inspires positivity and wants us to be the best versions of our physical selves. It is a pleasure to train with her and she is def one of the highlights of my work week when I train with her

Negative experience: bad communication. you are promised to be guided 1 on 1 but this is not fulfilled. i paid $100 and was supposed to get 8 1 on 1 calls to prepare for my exam but never came through. Clearly pointed out that I come from Europe where there is a time difference. So I was not able to attend the zoom call once. There would be from Megan questions can be asked but also no clear communication where and how. had to approach her via instagram and also received no response. Platform is full of information but no guideline on what exactly I should learn or watch to pass my nasm theory exam. pay extra for the quiz. I just have bad experiences with it.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful for Chris @ Show Up Fitness. I have been studying for the NASM CPT and have been struggling to retain all of the information. I signed up for the internship. I have learned so much more than I ever expected in just 2 weeks. I am learning how to become the best coach possible for my clients and not just learning how to pass the test. All my gratitude, Kandy Flores

Fantastic experience: I have just enrolled in the NASM online study program. I want to complete it as quickly as possible to start helping people reach their goals. I came across Chris at Show Up Fitness and the man knows his stuff upside down inside out! I would of preferred to do their course in person but living in Canada it was not possible. Next option was their PDF on, "How to Pass the NASM Certification". Instructing, you on what to study and focus on. Its has been 2 weeks and already feel like I can write much sooner than expected. A must gave uf you want to expedite your learning curve, get it! Thanks again Chris!

Fantastic experience: Love Chris’ online courses!

Fantastic experience: I'm so so glad that i found Show Up Fitness through Instagram. Studying has always been a confusing process for me, but the Internship made everything so clear and understandable. Not only are the webinars super helpful, but their Instagram also gives a lot more facts that will help me, and others, to become a more knowledgeable trainer. If you want to gain the most information possible, you should definitely try these guys out!

Fantastic experience: I did my first training session at Show Up Fitness last week and I was very impressed. From the facility equipment to the friendly trainers, I really recommend this place. For my session I worked with Chandler. She was very prepared and had the workout plan for the day already laid out for me when I showed up. One thing I really appreciated from her is that before we even did any movement she was very attentive about any previews injuries I had. For our workout she focused on shoulder mobility and glute strengthening to help with some lower back issues I have. I really enjoyed the menu of exercises she put together for me. Chandler was very particular that I did my movements with proper form. Always focusing on activating the right muscle while no compensating with others, AND she was big on my breathing and proper engagement/strengthening of my core. Overall I felt really good after my workout. I want to thanks Chandler and everyone at Show Up Fitness for a killer workout

Fantastic experience: What a great environment to work out! Nice people around, top like equipment and an amazing vibe! And FYI, Guznenkova is a beast and an amazing trainer!

Fantastic experience: This is a great spot to get fit quickly. Chandler is an amazing trainer that helps with the right technique to achieve your fitness goals. Whatever they may be. She really understands your fitness level and goals to help you achieve your very best. Must try out for yourself to truly understand the benefits!

Fantastic experience: Chandler is the best trainer I ever had. I have been working out for years - gym memberships, yoga, Pilates, spinning, everything - and had some personal training along the way but Chandler is unique - she is not just hands-on but totally attentive - and she spotted a problem with my form in one exercise I had been doing for years that could hurt me down the road and called my attention to it in the sweetest possible way. The hour flew by, also during the next time I trained with her, which was totally different and interesting. Chandler is a lovely presence to be around - sweet and tough at the same time. The gym is beautiful and spacious, a kind of sanctuary. I totally recommend both Chandler and it!

Fantastic experience: I have worked out with Chandler a few times now here at the West Hollywood location. I feel the workouts are thorough and target the specific areas of my body that I’d like to work on improving. Chandler takes her time to explain the exercises and make sure I am comfortable with the steps and the weight. I have a couple of injuries and she is good about offering an alternative exercise, should anything be uncomfortable. I feel challenged in a positive way and I like that she offers encouragement when the going gets tough. The gym itself has a good assortment of weights and accessories. It is clean and there is plenty of space to workout without feeling cramped. I find this boutique fitness studio a more well suited option for me and my fitness goals rather than a larger corporate gym.

Fantastic experience: Ive worked with Chandler at this location and wanted to write a winning review about my training experience. As someone who struggles with understanding proper and functional form. Ive learned proper ways to enhance my results pain free. Chandler is very committed trainer offering sound advice and support in my physical goals and development. My fitness journey now has direction and a true focus.

Fantastic experience: Chandler is everything you could hope for in a personal trainer-- upbeat, sincere, and very skilled at what she does. I have been looking to push myself physically harder than in some of the group classes i take, and Chandler has been extremely helpful in giving me the confidence and skills necessary to make sure I am lifting weights and working my muscles safely with proper form.

Fantastic experience: After 2 years of training CrossFit and a few trainers I realized I have been wasting my money & time! Where do I start with Chandler?! She is a breath of fresh air and is VERY educated on all your muscle groups and proper form! Every exercise that we did before hand she demonstrated the move, explained what specific muscle we were engaging and made sure I executed each move with perfect form! (I have been doing planks and push ups wrong until I met Chandler) Even though it was my first workout at Show Up Fitness, I felt more confident walking out and I'm actually excited for my next session! If you want to have a great work out, proper form to avoid injury and actually learn the purpose of each exercise, you will definitely crush & achieve your goals here!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I would recommend show up fitness to absolutely anyone looking for a good workout. The staff is well trained and informative and tailor each workout to the needs of each client. Chandler has been amazing at guiding me through a work out and making sure my form is perfect for optimum results. The space is clean and well kept and in a great location, and it’s obvious that everyone involved truly cares about the wellbeing of their clients. This is definitely the place to check out to jump start your fitness routine

Fantastic experience: I love this place--all the trainers are great. I especially like training with Chandler. She's really tough but also genuinely nice. She always plans the workout sessions in such a smart way, she's super knowledgeable, keeps you safe so you don't get injured, and pushes you to do a LOT more than you would do on your own. She's so sweet so I often don't realize quite how tough the workout was until I can't move for the next couple days because every part of my body is incredibly sore. She'll compliment me and tell me how amazing I am at things that are weaknesses for me (like pushups and pull-ups), and then I'm somehow tricked into kind of doing them, and each time I come in, I realize I'm actually making progress with those things. I highly recommend going here and training with Chandler!

Fantastic experience: I had my first work out session here last week and I absolutely loved it. The place has everything you need for a complete work out and Chandler was super knowledgeable and attentive in our session. I'm coming back this week again! Totally recommend.

Fantastic experience: I am so excited I found Show Up Fitness! All the trainers are super knowledgeable and are well educated to provide the best personal training. I personally work with Chandler who is just amazing! I feel confident in her ability to personalize each workout to meet my individual needs. I fully trust Chandler and overall am impressed with the facility and quality of workouts I get here!

Fantastic experience: I'm just starting to get back into working out, but I'm not in my 20s anymore so I don't really care about the weight loss or the esthetics of a ripped body. Now I'm in it to strengthen muscles to diminish my chronic lower back pain, so I needed someone who knew their stuff. Enter Chandler. She asked off the bat what my goals were and customized a workout for me as we went along. Each exercise was slow and methodical (and that doesn't mean it wasn't difficult. I was sweating buckets!), and her eagle eye was on me at all times to make sure my form didn't slip. I left feeling challenged and invigorated and, although I was sore the next day, I didn't feel like I overdid it. I will definitely be booking another session with her soon. Thanks Chandler!

Fantastic experience: I’m currently involved in the online subscription course for show up academy. Doing this has so far been helping me with knowing what exactly to study for.

Fantastic experience: Worked out with Chandler. She pointed out so many things my trainer had taught me that we’re wrong and worked with me to learn form. After just one class I’ve learned so much to use in the gym and feel motivated to use her techniques to help with fatigue. Chandler helps you achieve your tailored goals and is an absolute blast to workout with!!

Fantastic experience: I had my first personal training session ever with Chandler the other day and it was so good! She was so energetic, sweet, and very knowledgeable. I liked how she instructed me on how to do many different exercises and taught me which muscles they targeted. She also taught me exercises that I could do at home by myself to further improve my fitness. If you're nervous about getting a personal trainer, Show Up is the way to go! Highly recommend Chandler!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about going to a personal training gym because I hadn't exercised regularly in a long time, but Show Up Fitness and Chandler are amazing! She has a positive attitude and really knows how to make you work without letting you go over your limit. She's very knowledgable and receptive to your fitness goals -- she makes sure I know why I'm doing each exercise, what it works, and how I can replicate it at home/in a regular gym. I've really seen a difference in the effectiveness of my workouts both with Chandler and at the gym by myself using what I've learned since I started going to Show Up! I highly recommend Show Up and Chandler!

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness has a great atmosphere and a very welcoming team of trainers. I've been training with Chandler for around 6 weeks now and she's great! She really cares about my personal fitness goals, and makes sure that I have proper form to avoid injury. She also cares about teaching me about different muscles and exercises, which shows her concern that I actually learn about the proper way to train/lift. You can tell that the trainers here are highly knowledgable and experienced. I couldn't be happier with my experience training here so far, and I look forward to my future sessions!

Fantastic experience: I went to Show Up Academy for my first time last week and I'm so glad I did! Everyone there was very welcoming and encouraging. I trained with Chandler and she definitely knows how to motivate! She was very in tune with what I was looking to improve and I have even learned a few new things from her so I will be coming back. I highly recommend stopping by to check it and you will see results!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Brett this morning and he is incredibly knowledgeable. His workout was well curated to my needs, was challenging and really well rounded providing the ultimate gym experience. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to increase their level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I graduated from the Academy in August. Chris Hitchko is a very experienced trainer and teacher. He came from NPTI in Santa Monica which is 6-months, more expensive, no training experience, and they teach strictly NASM. At the Academy in West Hollywood, the classes are small (less than 15), comprehensive teachings from NASM/NSCA/ACSM & NAFC. I loved how we would do classroom work first and then workout. I was able to get into amazing shape while attending school. He set us up with Crunch, 24-Hour, and Equinox interviews- I had a few classmates get hired on the spot. I took the class strictly to learn more about my own workouts and how to properly program, but without a doubt, if you’re looking to make a career out of personal training, the Show Up Academy is the best out there.

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me get a better understanding of how much I should be eating on workout and non-workout days. The best part of it all is how much he simplifies what you can and/or should be eating. It doesn't really matter as long as you hit the right numbers. All it takes is some focus and planning, and clearly showing up. He gave me some guidance about a week ago and I've already seen noticeable results in my gut and lost 5 pounds total. Thanks for your help Chris!

Fantastic experience: I just graduated from Show Up Academy’s personal training school. I looked around at numerous schools Southern California Health Institute (too expensive), NPTI (didn’t have hands on learning) and doing it by myself - I don’t learn very well from reading, I prefer someone who’s knowledgeable to teach me. Then I met Chris and his team at Show Up Academy in West Hollywood. The classes were very intimate (4 students), we were able to train and assess clients, and he has job placements with Equinox / Crunch and 24- I have a 24 by my house and got a job there. I was beyond nervous during my first live training session with someone who’s a paying client at Show Up Fitness Santa Monica. Chris does have a unique style in his teachings and his confidence in me helped get me through it! I can’t believe I was able to train people, learn, and workout all at the same time. I wasn’t able to pay the whole thing up front, but he was very easy to work around my budget. Highly highly recommend if you want to turn fitness into a career!

Fantastic experience: I attended the academy due to constant injuries being a D1 collegiate athlete and never fully understanding the detailed mechanics that go into my sport. So, I decided to take a class to learn how to actually work out and possibly train. Even though I could get certified through via NSCA I chose this academy because I do not actually want to be a trainer, I want to know how to train myself RIGHT. This is the key to the success of this academy and Chris' teaching techniques. During my time there went through various movement patterns and was constantly taught proper form. I was in a small group of 5 and all my classmates went on to get a job immediately ( some even during school) after their time with Chris - THEY WERE THAT GOOD! It is pretty crazy to think how unregulated the fitness industry is but I was lucky enough to come across Show Up Academy and learn how to do it all RIGHT. Thank you Chris and team!!

Fantastic experience: I graduated from the academy and passed my NASM exam with ease. Chris not only does an amazing job teaching, he allows you to shadow, train, and learn how to be successful personal trainer. The class sizes are small, the school location is on 14th and then we workout at his gym on 4th. I would get to class around 730, study and get ready for the day. He'd teach from 8-11. We'd take a lunch break then go workout and apply the material that we learned from the day at his private gym. I was more than prepared to train people with his internship that he offers. We'd do workouts at the Santa Monica stairs, the beach, and he was able to get us connections within Equinox and Crunch. There isn't a more complete personal training school out there.

Fantastic experience: I've been a trainer at LA Fitness for almost two years. I signed up for the Show Up Fitness Refresher course. In the 3-months, I was able to relearn a lot of the things that I forgot because when I train my clients, I don't use the same vocab. During the course, he went further into Shoulder and Hip anatomy (Origin, Insertion, Actions, and Palpation) which helped me step up my game and be able to better help my clients.

Fantastic experience: Chris Hitchko is the best instructor in the game! I was very lucky to have the opportunity to learn under his tutelage, and his gym in Santa Monica. Within 2 months, I was training live clients that he and his trainers gave us. I trained a model, pregnant woman, basketball player, and all sorts of clients that I wouldn't have had an opportunity to train anywhere else. We'd meet at the school on 14th and Michigan and then go workout at the studio on 4th. I was able to learn and pass the NASM exam, but also NSCA and ACSM. I've had friends who've gone to other schools, and they were longer and more expensive without the internship. I really feel the internship prepared me to be a successful personal trainer. I cannot stress the importance of going to a school like Show Up Fitness Academy over an at home prep for the CPT.

Fantastic experience: I took the 4-month academy course through Show Up Fitness. Chris was my main instructor, and then we would go to his studio in Santa Monica to do the lab portion where you learn how to properly workout. I thought I knew how to workout before his course, but he opened up my eyes to different strength programming from the NSCA, and also how to properly assess clients through ACSM risk-stratification's. He thoroughly explains the difference between all of the certifications and gives you the proper route to be a successful trainer. I originally bought the NASM book and tried the at home study kit, but that didn't work. I couldn't ask any questions and a lot of the science information was too difficult to comprehend. I was able to train clients at his studio and get some experience before I applied to some gyms. If you want to become a trainer, Show Up Fitness Academy is the spot to go.

Fantastic experience: I've wanted to change my career for quite sometime and when I met Chris, he motivated me to learn how to become a personal trainer and do what I truly love. I use to sit at a desk for 40+ hours (sometimes longer) at the sacrifice of my health. I searched how to become a personal trainer in LA and the Academy came up. I did some research and I like how he consults with a board of education (which are all Doctors, nutritionists, and Ph.Ds). He was nice enough to let me sit in the first few classes before I made any rash decisions, and I loved his teaching style. He's brilliant, funny, and a great teacher. I doubted myself in the beginning, but with his leadership skills, he was able to calm me down as he's taught a lot of trainers. I enjoyed all the workouts at his studio, going to the Santa Monica stairs, workouts on the Beach and UCLA track. When I graduated (Dec 2016) I felt comfortable training young, elderly, injured, overweight, athletes, and any sort of special situation. Chris teaches you how the human body works, at the end of his Academy, you'll be so far ahead of all the other trainers who take the NASM, NESTA, ACE, or IFFA cert at home / online. Thanks Chris!

Fantastic experience: I tried studying for NASM at home and it just wasn't for me. At Show Up Fitness Academy I was able to learn from someone who has a ton of experience. Chris thoroughly taught us the 17 muscles of the shoulder, 40 muscles of the hip, and how to pass the NASM exam. Passing a cert is one thing, but the experience that I gained from the internship is on a whole other level. Truthfully the best personal training school out there.

Fantastic experience: I went to the academy and learned so much under Chris. He was able to teach me all the NASM, NSCA, and ACSM material. I was able to gain experience training clients while learning all the fundamentals at the same time. When I graduated, Chris hired me to work for him. I'm currently a trainer at Show Up Fitness in Santa Monica.

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness Academy is by far the most exceptional school I have been encountered with. When I first got to school I was contemplating on quitting in the first two weeks and Chris literally saved me. He could have let me quit class but instead he had hope in me and saw potential; My life changed from that point on with his guidance. I went to the school having no understanding of any anatomy, kinesiology and training real life people . Chris had one of his trainers, Brett tutor me to help me understand the knowledge that he went over in class. I started sinking in all the information with Brett's guidance day by day. Apart of the internship at Show Up Fitness Santa Monica, I shadowed, and eventually taught their bootycamp classes to help build my confidence. I learned to train clients 1-1 and he also helped me a lot with the business side of things within personal training. Chris has built up my confidence not only through school but also in my personal life and for this I am forever thankful. I started from almost quitting class, to now working as a trainer with Chris's help. Chris is the type of person to go above and beyond his measures for anyone he possibly can help and I am forever grateful to have him as my teacher, mentor and friend.

Fantastic experience: Show Up Fitness Academy is everything you need to become a personal trainer. I learned how to train all sorts of people during my internship at Show Up Fitness. I was able to actually train real people, teach classes, and shadow experienced trainers. Chris and the trainers at Show Up are there to help you become the best trainer possible. The sky's the limit. The information that he taught us from NSCA, ACSM, and NASM is beyond reproach. I have a few buddies who studied at home for their CPT, but their methods are questionable at times. The academy preps you to become confident in helping people move correctly and safety. Four months go by so fast! Before you know it you'll be out there helping people and making a difference in their lives! Thanks for everything Show Up Fitness!
