The staff is professional and supportive and were all able to make an almost seamless transition to virtual learning. I have nothing but good things to say and highly recommend Focus to anyone looking to build a career in fitness. «

The follow reflects my time and my view only.I was a student here from Jan 2019 to June 2019. The school, the teachers/instructors, the administrators are all very personable and knowledgeable. The day is split up into theory and practical (hands on). As for the theory aspect of the program, it can be overwhelming with the amount of information that you are taught. From anatomy to diseases to the business aspect of training you are taught more than enough to pass any of the major CPT exams. It’s on the same level of in-depth information that is taught with some courses that you would take if you were in college for Exercise Science/Kinesiology. The instructors do an excellent job of making sure that you understand the work though. (Even if it means them stepping out of their comfort zone to demonstrate). When it comes to the practical/hands on part of the program you will definitely gain experience training people. What you learn during theory will carry over to the hands on training. I had a great time learning, training, and being trained by my fellow classmates. The diversity of my classmates (male,female, age, height, weight) made it such a joy working with them.All in all, this an amazing school for anyone who wishes to become a personal trainer. The amount of experience you will receive along with the knowledge you gain will put you ahead of the curve when it comes time to enter the workforce. Speaking of the workforce FPTI will work with you and help you get a job. To this day I get emails about employers looking for trainers. I recommend this school for everyone. «

Everyone on Staff really cares about each students success. I now have a solid foundation in personal training. My career goals are set and my Personal Training business is taking off; Especially in the area of Virtual Training (FPTI is leading everyone in this area). I not only learned virtually, my practical exams required me to train virtually. I now have Clients in Florida, I live in NYC!! I highly recommend this school, take the Masters course, its worth the effort. From Theory and Application to Practical Application FPTI consistently proves themselves to be the best. I would do it all again !! «

As a... »First some context on my path to FOCUS...after 27years in finance I chose to shift gears and pursue a new career which I call PHASE 2 of life. As a 50yr old father of two, I was keen on demonstrating how every individual has the ability to rewire, and pursue new experiences especially one so vastly different, ie a true rebranding. Fortunately for me I found FOCUS. The Co-Founders mission to formally educate and provide a detailed tool kit to each and every student is simply "Best in Class". FOCUS graduates are equipped with a breadth of skills which cater to all levels of fitness. This diverse knowledge acquired across 600 hours of classroom and real time floor application enables FOCUS trainers to be the most sought after professionals in the business. Yet even when you have a solid curriculum you need the best and brightest to instill these traits. For me this experience wouldn't have been as valuable if it weren't for the diverse levels of experience across the entire staff at FOCUS. They relish in the success of the entire student body and allow for you to create YOUR own lane. FOCUS opens your mind to a new reality of wellness allowing you to leverage your abilities and curate productive outcomes, one client at time. We all should strive "to be able at any moment to change who you are for what you to become" FOCUS sets you on the path to enter this PHASE.Tom Baluk. Graduate Mar 2020 «

I love to work out and so I wanted to pursue something that I love dearly and that’s working out and so choosing Focus was the far best decision I ever made! Learning virtually was a challenge but Focus made sure I had the right tools and knowledge to do so durning the whole PANDEMIC! Great school and awesome staff of people!! «

That would be FOCUS hands down. Professional and knowledgeable instructors and staff. I was scared, nervous you name it on my first day at focus, the staff, instructors along with the rest of the students in the class made it for me, a thing of the past! I would find myself waiting excited for class to start to learn more! Thank you to my instructors at Focus (Charlie & Kevin), also Caroline L and M. Reynolds. And absolutely, the rest of the staff are just as good and professional! Forever grateful Del. 💚💪🏾 «

After years of slow, arduous progress in the gym, I made great strides towards my fitness goals under the masterful training of my course instructors. The week before the midterm, COVID-19 spread throughout New York City and necessitated a citywide shutdown. During these very trying times, the Focus faculty and staff tried so hard to protect the safety of the students while also ensuring we had the best educational opportunities afforded to us. We completed the midterm under new social distancing guidelines and waited to hear back about when we would be able to continue the second half of the course. In April, we moved to a virtual platform and finished the course online. In completely uncharted waters, the faculty and staff and Focus taught us how to train virtually and apply these concepts in person as well. In addition to making sure every student received special equipment at home in order to practice what we were learning in the classroom (during an equipment shortage, mind you!), the faculty and staff succeeded in making sure that no students were left behind in their learning during these unprecedented times. Thanks to everyone at Focus, I am a better trainer and coach from learning how to train online. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend going; going to Focus has reaffirmed both my love for fitness and my belief in my own capabilities for success. Thanks so much, everyone!! 🙂 «

The instructors are so knowledgable and very invested in your success not only as a student, but as a trainer in the industry as well. Everyone on the Focus team is so welcoming and supportive. I can't recommend this program enough! «

It was a blissful six months.When walking through the doors on the first day, I felt at home and was happy with the choice I have made to join FPTl. When leaving FPTl on the last day it hit harder then graduating anything else. We became more then family, we obtained knowledge I never thought I would have, we acquired a skill that will put us above any other trainers out there in the world. They truly sent us off more than ready to be the best and that is what we will be. I would do it all again.Thank you FPTI. «

I contacted NASM and asked for the schools in New York that supported their system that would lead to their Certification. I visited and interviewed each of the schools including Hunter college programs. All of them were teaching Personal training as just another vocational subject with no real commitment or authenticity in environment, standards or staffing. I was giving up on my dream to change peoples lives through wellness and a healthy lifestyle. I had called Focus at the beginning of my journey and only discovered it because of the aggressiveness of a student recruiter. She convinced me to come and see the space and talk to some staff. The moment I walked through their gym space to the conference area I was greeted by friendly, helpful people offering to help, direct and answer any questions I had. I loved the professional, supportive environment and now having graduated from the program the experience never changed. The teachers, staff and owners all are amazing friendly and supportive.Their commitment insured our success and now we are honored to now be members of the Focus family! I would highly recommend Focus if your goal is to promote, train and teach a healthy lifestyle and improve peoples lives. «

The staff goes above and beyond what you would expect to make sure that all the material explained in full. Anyone who fails this course simple did not apply them selves. I would recommend FPTI to anyone who is willing to put in the work and reach the top of the fitness industry. Thank you FPTI staff for everything you've done to stay with me every step of the way!!!! «
