This March the National Federation of Professional Trainers (NFPT) celebrates their 25th anniversary as a personal trainer certification company. NFPT was founded by president and CEO, Ron Clark, in 1988 and has been growing ever since. "We're incredibly blessed to work for so long in an industry we love. We've certified our share of trainers these last 25 years, but the root of our success comes from the passion that our staff and our certified trainers have for helping people," says Clark. NFPT works to equip trainers and their clients with the education and tools needed to address America's health problems and promote fitness around the world.



NFPT's mission statement shows just how dedicated to the fitness industry they are and what kind of impact they want to have: NFPT works to "advance the levels of integrity and value of those in the personal training industry; and provide fitness trainers with the tools and resources needed to develop and enhance performance skills for the safe and effective training of their clients."
