Take Your Life in a New Direction...with a Certificate in Strength and Personal Training or an Associate in Applied Science degree in Strength, Nutrition and Personal Training.

"For individuals who are looking to make a career out of personal training, the degree and certificate program being offered at CGCC is a great step in the right direction. The ability to combine both the academic and practical aspects of this field is extremely important and very seldom done. This program addresses both areas and is valuable for students interested in becoming the best they can be."
Joe Kenn, Head Coach Sports Performance, Arizona State University
