The Most Flexible Way to Get
Certified Online
We created the brand-new Axiom Self-Guided Course because most online NASM study courses suck. In fact, most of them aren’t really much better than reading the book and watching a couple videos on your own.
There’s no guidance on EXACTLY what you should study.
The videos are long, boring, or don’t explain the concepts in a simple or fun way.
You never get to speak to a real person to answer any of your questions.
But this course is DIFFERENT.
That’s why we’re so confident that you’ll not only learn the material, but you’ll retain it too. Heck, we actually guarantee it!
About The Axiom Fitness Academy
We’ve been doing this for years and know a thing or two about getting people certified. With over 50 years of combined experience in the fitness industry and over 600 student success stories, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better provider.
You’ll get the same proven course materials that our 10-week in-person students get, including our unique practical videos that teach you how to use the training concepts in the gym.
Throughout the course, you’ll:
- Study the assigned chapters
- Watch practical coaching videos
- Take practice tests/quizzes
- Use your knowledge in the gym
When it’s all said and done, you’ll be ready to take and pass your exam with confidence so that you can move onto the next step in your journey as a personal trainer – working with real people.
Starting a new career in fitness can be stressful enough, why do it alone?
The stats show that in order to become a successful personal trainer you need all the advantages you can get. That’s why the Axiom Self-Guided course is more than just another boring series of videos or basic PDF. It includes benefits that you simply can’t get anywhere else.
From the moment you enroll, you’ll learn exactly what to study, how to study, and how to make the most of your time. You’ll even have a dedicated onboarding coach to answer your questions and get access to our Axiom Academy support group where you can ask questions and connect with other aspiring trainers.
There’s simply no better option for success.

I implemented what we learned last week and used your process with client intake forms and was actually complimented by the client I was working with on how professional I was. She even signed up for training 3 times a week. This is by far the best investment into my business and I’m forever grateful.
Leah M
I'm so grateful to Joe and David for their amazing guidance and support! I have done both the Business Coaching Course and the Qualified Trainer Course with Axiom and honestly, I don't think I would be running a successful business right now without David and Joe and all their wisdom and coaching.
Dustin T
Everything you are teaching me is working! I started the course with no clients and now I have 12. I'm getting new clients at the gym and I used one of the social posts you showed me to advertise training out of my home gym and signed two people on the next day! I still have so much to learn but you have really fast tracked me into being a Qualified Trainer.
Michelle M
I took the QTC course with David and Joe and knew I wanted to get more coaching from them. They pushed me to dig deep into what type of client I was looking for, what the benefits are of my two programs, and how to strategize marketing myself. Within the first two weeks, I gained two new clients, learned how to prioritize my business, and track the things that matter most.

I attended the March 2025 Programming & Coaching Workshop, and it was nothing short of amazing. The education was top-notch, and the hands-on opportunities were extremely beneficial. The knowledge I gained has significantly boosted my confidence and skills as I progress in my fitness career.
Patricia Z
I purchased the 2-day in-person bundle, and it was the best investment I could have made. Meeting Coach Joe Drake and Coach David Crump in person, working out with them, and receiving their invaluable tips was a true gift. Now, holding my certificate in hand, I feel completely ready and confident to take the next step.

Just attended the AXIOM PPC workshop and just when I thought I couldn't be more impressed, they put on the most informative, impressive, well-formatted and well-managed workshop. I’m so proud to be an AXIOM grad!
Tara W
I have taken two classes with Axiom and just came home from the PPC weekend workshop in Boca Raton. I would highly recommend Axiom for help with passing your CPT exam, starting your business and helping you build a network with others in this work. A 5-Star experience!!
Darryl C
I just completed the 2-Day Practical Programming & Coaching Workshop at Axiom Fitness Academy and it proved to be invaluable to me as a newly certified trainer. Most of us get little to no on-hands preparation for assessing clients and building programs. I highly recommend this course and think this workshop should be a requirement for ALL personal trainers!
Lily W
The 2-day in-person PPC Workshop was just so valuable! Meeting Coach Drake, David, and Damien in person gave me the chance to learn from trainers with different styles, insights, and experiences. Their expertise set a new standard for the kind of trainer I want to be.
Raquel N
I graduated from Axiom’s Virtual Classroom course in April and passed my NASM-CPT exam just two weeks later.Thanks to the detailed course and all the help from the instructors, passing the test was a breeze and I got a job at F45 right away.
Nicole S
Don’t even think twice about taking this course, JUST DO IT! I can’t even put into words how much I’ve learned these past few weeks. As someone who didn’t study sports and exercise science, Axiom was exactly what I needed.
Carlos Z
I took the NASM exam and passed on my first try. 1000% recommend! They are all great! If you’re considering it - go for it. You won’t regret it.
Madyson G
I can't say enough great things about the Axiom Fitness Academy! I tried to take this course on my own time online and I just couldn't get through it, I wasn't learning and the information was just too much!
Ryan D
If you are interested in personal training, this is the best place to kick-start your career! The instructors are the best and the experience is second to none.
