Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, February 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Already recognized for its global online personal training programs and certification, the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) recently expanded its local, in-personal training sessions from coast to coast. As a supplement to its online programs, the personal training workshops, provided by Training Made Fun, are now available in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

The two-day personal training workshops offer the NESTA Personal Fitness Training certification, which is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and is valid for four years, unlike most two-year certifications.

The personal training program includes education on anatomy, exercise physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, program design, hands-on instruction, progressing and regressing exercises, and more. The cost ranges from $389 to $409, with discount rates available for club chains and through referrals; the price includes an exam study guide, workbook, the workshop and the NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer Certification Exam. Payment plans for the workshops are also available.

Workshop provider Training Made Fun is a sports and fitness training company that focuses on the education and professional development of personal trainers, instructors and coaches.
