"This is the first time in the history of the fitness industry that we will have national standards for personal trainers, developed by the industry, for the industry to protect the public.

Until now, anyone could call themselves a personal trainer. This brings a level of competency assurance to the public; simply ask your trainer if they passed the national boards."

Dr. Sal Arria - NBFE President
