Prior to taking your NASM Personal Fitness Trainer certification exam and working with clients, it is required to earn and maintain a CPR/AED certification. If you do not hold a CPR/AED certification, NASM offers one that you can take fully online (more information in the reading below). It should be noted that this course from NASM does not provide hands-on skills checks, which may be a requirement for some employers. It is therefore important for the fitness professional to check all of the hiring requirements of a prospective employer to ensure they have everything they need to be hired.
