About us

Welcome to The National Personal Training Institute! We have 3 locations in California, including: San Diego, Oceanside, and Sacramento. We are state approved through the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), and are academically partnered with the NCCA accredited National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). NPTI is also recognized by, and registered as a yoga school (RYS 200 & RYS 500) through Yoga Alliance, the largest nonprofit association representing the yoga community.

We proudly offer the most advanced, state-of the art education for aspiring exercise professionals, wellness coaches, yoga teachers, and exercise specialists. All of our courses are taught in-person (in a classroom & gym/studio) and are thoughtfully developed to provide the most comprehensive and well-rounded education and training. This is real-world, hands-on learning. Prior experience is not necessary, and we welcome all students with a wide variety of goals and aspirations. Our graduates go on to lead successful careers and stand by our program as having been one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives.

In total, we offer 10 different programs ranging from 3 to 6 months long for each class. All of our programs are full-time, and we accept multiple chapters of the Gi Bill, including Post 9/11, VR&E, and Dependents & Survivors. We also offer flexible payment plans for anyone not using benefits to attend the school.

Our goal as a career driven school is to provide our students with the best education possible to prepare them to work right away in the fitness industry. We welcome you to our family and look forward to kickstarting your fitness career!

 

Students will receive a diploma upon completion of each course. NPTI is licensed to operate by the California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). Approval to operate means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009.
