Course materials
I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but I gotta say, I really liked how easy it was to use the course materials. Everything was laid out nicely and it was a breeze to find my way around. The content was well-structured and packed with useful info, no extra fluff to bog me down. I got everything I needed in a clear and straightforward way.
Fitness coaching session
My fitness coaching session with Coach Ira Becks was amazing! I was feeling so stressed and not looking forward to the call, but I ended up feeling way better. Ira's positivity and empathy made me feel so encouraged and ready to go. He helped me fix my fitness issues right away and now I can't wait to keep going with ISSA, especially knowing there are wonderful coaches like him out there.
Personal training certification
I had a chat with Julie from ISSA recently, and I gotta say, she's a real pro when it comes to personal training. Her advice was right on the money, and you can tell she's got lots of experience. Thanks to her tips, I'm feeling super motivated to chase after my dream of becoming a top-notch personal trainer. I definitely suggest ISSA to anyone interested in getting certified in personal training.
Customized personal training certification package
I just got in touch with customer service at ISSA to get some help picking out a certification program for my personal training gig. Coach Julie was amazing and helped me figure out which courses would be best for my goals. She put together a custom package that was exactly what I needed. I definitely suggest reaching out to ISSA if you're not sure which certification to go for - their customer service is fantastic and they'll make sure you get the right one for your career.
Fitness career path guidance
I recently had the pleasure of getting some guidance for my career in fitness at ISSA and I gotta say, it was probably the best thing that happened to me this year. From the first hello to the last goodbye, the folks at ISSA really showed they cared about my goals and what I needed. Big shoutout to Coach Julie for always being there to support and motivate me. Her advice really gave me the confidence I needed to choose my fitness career path. I'm eager to keep learning with ISSA and grow under her guidance. I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thanks to ISSA, and thanks to Coach Julie for everything!
Video lectures, readings, quotes, final exam
The video lectures and readings were really helpful, and I liked having quotes to practice with. But, the final exam was way too long and the questions didn't seem to focus on important stuff we should actually remember, they were more about random, irrelevant details.
New look modules
The new design of the modules on the website looks really good and modern. But, the way it's set up could be better for users. It's a bit tricky to move around the different sections. For example, when you click on a new module, it automatically downloads a PDF of that chapter. This can be annoying, especially for students like me who would rather just have the whole book downloaded at once. It seems like a waste of storage space and makes us keep going back and forth between sections.
Weight loss and maintenance program
The program at ISSA really opened my eyes. It helped me see just how crucial a good diet is for managing weight. I found out that lots of folks have a tough time with their diets, which can leave them feeling drained and unmotivated. But by just making some small tweaks to what we eat, we can boost our energy and get motivated to be more active. ISSA's program taught me in a really fun and interesting way that I hadn't experienced before. I'm so thankful for all the knowledge and support I got from ISSA.
Senior Fitness exam
I'm really happy with my purchase of the Senior Fitness exam. It was super informative and way better than the CPT exam I did a couple of years back. I really liked how in-depth the content was, and now I feel super confident in my knowledge of senior fitness. It would be awesome if you could offer the Motivational Interviewing Course again, I'm really keen on continuing to learn in that area. Oh, and maybe consider making some T-shirts with the full name of the course on them - it would be great for advertising, especially at gyms like Crunch and Planet Fitness where I work out. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience at ISSA.
Customer service experience
I wasn't really sure about working with this company at first, but I have to say, the folks there were super helpful and really nice to talk to. They always responded quickly to any questions or worries I had, and they were great at finding solutions to any problems that came up. Their professionalism and kindness made me feel comfortable and confident in their skills. I really value the support and encouragement they provided, which kept me going even when I had doubts.
Customer Service Experience
Being a customer at ISSA, I gotta tell ya, the customer service team, especially Julie Zinkus and her manager, are top-notch. When I was dealing with some issues during my hospital stay, they really went out of their way to make sure everything got sorted out quickly and smoothly. Their professionalism and commitment to making customers happy are really something special. I'm so grateful to be part of the ISSA crew and I can't thank them enough for standing by me.
Virtual school program
Julie was absolutely amazing! She was really fun to chat with and incredibly intelligent. I tend to get a bit timid when I meet new people, but she made me feel at ease right off the bat. Julie explained things so well and made sure I got it before we moved on. I'm really excited to begin this new online school program, all thanks to Julie! She definitely deserves more than 5 stars for the fantastic help she gave me!
Recertification Course Materials
Being able to work and study at my own speed is really important to me, and I'm grateful for the new progress portal. I like to stick to the old-school ways of learning, like reading from a real textbook and being able to underline and bookmark pages. The course materials have been really helpful for me. Having audio books for the coursework was also great when I could use them. I think the new setup is perfect for students like me who need flexibility and different ways of learning.
CPT course learning experience
The live learning experience at ISSA was amazing, eh? It really helped me understand important concepts in my CPT course, you know? I thought it was a great addition to my education, especially since I felt like I was missing some key info in my nutrition and body building specialist courses. The interactive aspect of the live sessions made the material so much more interesting and easier to grasp, eh? I would definitely recommend bringing back this feature for future students, for sure.
Online course purchase
I recently bought an online course from this platform and it was an awesome experience. The course material was super helpful and easy to follow. The instructor, who I'll call GiGi, was amazing. She was a success coach and her guidance was really valuable. I felt motivated and eager to learn more. GiGi's teaching style was patient and engaging, making it easy to understand. Her knowledge of the subject was clear and she explained everything well. My experience with GiGi was fantastic and I would definitely recommend her as an instructor on this platform.
Fitness coaching sessions
I had such an amazing time during my fitness coaching sessions at ISSA. My coach was really great - so helpful and knowledgeable. They helped me push past my fears and feel more confident in myself. I'm really excited to see how my fitness journey unfolds with their support.
Passed CPT
I had a great time studying with ISSA! I could work at my own speed and aced my CPT. The only thing that made me nervous was the final exam being open book, so I studied extra hard just in case. The team and coaches were super friendly and helpful, they really gave me good support.
Online course
I thought the online course was super informative and well put together. It was split up into clear chapters, which made it really easy to find my way around and go back to review stuff. I liked being able to go back and check out sections I needed more time with. I've learned a ton in the last three months and I'm excited to keep on learning.
CPT Course purchase
I recently bought a CPT Course and I gotta say it was super easy to follow and covered a lot of ground. The price was reasonable and they gave me both printed and digital textbooks, along with a bunch of helpful videos. The quizzes and final exam were all multiple choice and didn't try to trick me, which was nice. Overall, the CPT course gave me a good foundation and I'm definitely thinking about taking more courses to build on what I've already learned. I think this course is great for anyone wanting to boost their knowledge and skills in the field. Highly recommend it!
Online personal training certification
I absolutely love how flexible this course is. Being able to go through quizzes, exams, and coursework at my own speed has made a huge difference for me. And the fact that I can keep learning through more courses at a gym after getting certified really shows how committed this school is to helping people thrive in the fitness world.
