It is a certification that is earned by individuals who are hoping to have a career in fields such as exercise therapy, personal training, group fitness instruction, nutrition consulting, and other related fields.

Of these certifications, the personal trainer certification is the most popular one that allows you to turn your love for fitness into a rewarding career by becoming an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer. Perhaps one of the best things about ISSA prep courses is that you can study whatever concepts that you need the most work on. For instance, if you are struggling to learn the musculoskeletal system, your ISSA class lesson plan can be structured to spend more time on that. When you are ready to move on, you can shift gears and focus on anatomy in your ISSA course instead.
There are many topics covered on the ISSA Personal Trainer Exam including:
ISSA Personal Trainer Exam Topics (non-exhaustive list)
- The musculoskeletal system
- Human physiology during exercise and at rest
- Anatomy
- Nutrition basics
- Weight management assessments
- Customizing programs to a person's fitness and health assessments
- Motivation and coaching techniques
- Modifying fitness programs for special populations
- Communicating with clients
- When client needs are out of scope
- Healthy lifestyle coaching
- Trainer Code of Ethics
Unlike some competitors, there are no time limits with a Varsity Tutors ISSA prep class. If you need more time studying a certain topic, you can spend multiple ISSA class sessions on it. On the other hand, if you have mastered a subject, you can move on quickly and free up valuable study time for something else.
Your instructor can cater to your individual needs because sessions are held in a one-on-one setting. For example, everyone learns better through different methods. A private session allows your instructor to adapt to the ways you learn the best.
Your tutor can answer your questions immediately, allowing you to get the answers you need and continue studying at your own pace. During your ISSA courses, your instructor can stop and explain the answer to your question in real time so you don't forget to ask.
At Varsity Tutors, we do our best to refer you to an instructor who can meet your scheduling needs. Furthermore, you can take advantage of the Live Learning Platform, where you can get live instruction online and face-to-face, eliminating the need to physically meet with someone. We do our best to make the study process as pain-free as possible. Nobody wants to put their life on hold while preparing for an exam, so we do our best to make the process as convenient as possible.
Our ISSA classes can equip you with the tools and techniques you need to reach for your goals on test day. If you are ready to learn more about the services we offer, please feel free to reach out to an academic advisor from Varsity Tutors for more information. We are looking forward to meeting and working with you.
