MTTI-WELLSPRING AND THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SPORTS MEDICINE (NASM) PARTNER FOR FITNESS TRAINING & WELLNESS PROGRAM

Innovative Partnership Provides Students Hands-on Wellness and Fitness Training While Receiving Two NASM Credentials

Kansas City, Mo. (August 11, 2009)—MTTI-WellSpring, the heartland’s most respected career-training school focused on natural health and wellness, today announced its partnership with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), a global leader in personal training certification and sports performance training, for its enhanced Fitness Training & Wellness Program.  

“After considering many personal training and corrective exercise certifying agencies, it is clear that NASM and its evidence-based programs are the best partner for us,” said Don Farquharson, MTTI-WellSpring Chief Executive Officer (CEO).  “Most importantly, this partnership will prove to be beneficial for our students.  With NASM certified personal trainers reported to earn, on average, 20 percent more* than trainers certified by other agencies, graduates will be given many lucrative career options upon completion of MTTI-WellSpring’s Fitness Training & Wellness Program.” 

Based on NASM’s exclusive Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model, MTTI-WellSpring's accelerated Fitness Training & Wellness Program offers a high-quality, campus-based experience featuring extensive hands-on training that is delivered by experienced NASM certified instructors. Featuring a dual credential as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (NASM CPT) and Corrective Exercise Specialist (NASM CES), the program also provides extensive training in wellness and nutrition.

“MTTI-WellSpring’s focus on natural health and wellness coincides with the approach of NASM’s OPT model, making this course invaluable to those seeking to start a career in the health and fitness industry,” said Dr. Micheal Clark, NASM CEO.  “Graduates will learn everything needed to positively influence the wellbeing of their clients while creating a lucrative career for themselves.”
