Being your best. Motivating people to believe in their own power. And inspiring others to move toward healthier and happier lives. That's what makes the Athletics and Fitness Association of America™ (AFAA) a dominant force in movement-based health and fitness. Our vision isn't to just change bodies — but to advance the lives of instructors and those they guide through their own personal fitness journeys.

AFAA has led the way in certifying group and personal trainers for over 35 years. AFAA instructors and trainers have gone out to the world to share their love for fitness and be the person that others look to for a superior learning experience at an unbeatable price. Now we're building on AFAA's stature as a leader and innovator to get people excited about working out.
