Since its founding in 1977, NETA has certified over 160,000 fitness professionals and is a nationally recognized leader in the fitness industry.

Offering NCCA accredited certifications in Group Exercise and Personal Training. Many online fitness training options are offered to support distance and online learning. NETA has been educating fitness professionals for over 40 years, longer than virtually all other certifying bodies in the fitness industry. Our primary certifications are accredited by the NCCA, ensuring that the NETA credentials meet industry standards and are accepted at most fitness facilities. The principal difference between NETA and other certifying organizations is that we provide live in-person or virtual, hands-on exam preparation workshops presented by our own well-qualified instructors, not just self-study like many organizations. Our dedicated staff is passionate about fitness and ready to help you throughout a successful fitness career!
