Thank you for choosing the NAFC for your education and entry into the fitness industry.  The NAFC has undergone big changes. This past year we have welcomed Leslee Bender, Pilates Coach and Bender Training Method, and have added a new audio/video Pilates certification.   

The NAFC has also added Chris Gellert to our association, founder of Pinnacle, an advanced training certification offered in an audio/video format. Our personal training certifications have undergone complete updates with the integration of audio/video modules.

Our upcoming NAFC personal training workshop has been scheduled in Newport Oregon,   a vacation destination on the central Oregon coast. There are a wide range of accommodations at reasonable rates. If you need assistance in making arrangements contact us at the links provided below.
