You became a personal trainer to help people live healthier lives—but when clients face high stress or early signs of chronic illness, traditional fitness plans fall short.

 

That’s why we created the Mind/Body Medicine Fitness & Wellness Specialist™ certification—a course that empowers you to design personalized stress management programs and holistic care plans that align with the future of integrative health.

What You'll Need: 

  • NCCA-accredited personal training certification

Start Your Certification Backed by a Recognized Professional Network

Start your journey with credibility: While you train, we cover the cost of your student membership with the Complementary Medical Association (CMA), giving you instant access to a respected professional network, resources, and ongoing education opportunities.
 

Graduate with recognition: When you complete your certification, we’ll also pay for your first year as a CMA Practitioner Member—so you begin your new career with professional recognition, a directory listing that helps clients find you, and the credibility that comes with being part of a globally respected complementary health association.
 

(Please note: This certification includes CMA membership only. Other advanced programs may include additional memberships.)

Have Questions About Getting Certified?

​

You want to be sure this certification is the right next step for you. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get from professionals just like you.

 

Do I need to be certified before I enroll?
Yes. You need an NCCA-accredited personal training or group fitness certification, be 18 or older, have at least one year of experience, and be CPR/AED certified. Not certified yet? We make it easy with 40% off the American Council on Exercise (ACE) certification directly through our site.

​

How often do I need to recertify?
To keep your skills current and your certification active, recertification is required every three years. You’ll need to earn 2.0 continuing education units (CEUs) during that time.

​

Where can I earn my CEUs?
We offer affordable continuing education through our Fit Academy and our partner FlowForward Wellness Center, including CEUs in yoga, holistic wellness, and more.

​

What if I want to continue growing after this course?
Our team is here to support you long after you graduate. We provide exclusive access to continuing education opportunities, professional discounts, and membership in a professional network that values holistic health.
