About Me

 


Since September 2021, I, Nadia Matheson, am proudly credentialed as a certified personal trainer (CPT) through two respected and well-known professional fitness organizations known as International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). As an ISSA certified personal trainer, I currently hold the Elite Trainer status and will soon expand my knowledge base to obtain their Master Trainer status as well. Most notably in regard to NASM, this organization is considered the gold standard in the fitness industry to obtain a certification from. I conquered my emotional overeating habits through proper nutrition and fitness in my early 40s during the height of the pandemic; a very trying time that impacted the world. My newly discovered passion for health, wellness, and fitness led to becoming a certified personal trainer in an effort to help other women who face a similar predicament. In addition to helping clients with their health and wellness journey, I am interested in offering my tutoring services to CPT candidates that might find themselves struggling with their studies to obtain their certification as I did at the beginning of my studying journey. Due to my background in working in academia for over a decade and an M.S. in Human Resource Management, I have an active interest in adult learning and education and am confident that I can tend to your needs at your unique and individual level of knowledge. Let me be your “Catalysttt” to assist you at the starting point towards your professional success as a knowledgeable and confident CPT. My tutoring services include such content as, but not limited to, study guides, in-depth blog posts in relevant subject matters, and practical, advanced, and informative videos (where as indicated) for free. Should you need more services and a more one on one approach to learning, please contact me at catalystttutoring@gmail.com. For my personal training services as a fitness coach and expert please contact her at catalystttfitness@gmail.com.

In the meantime, please feel free to check out the rest of my website and blog articles. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and let me know what you think! I’m always here for you when you need me to be!

Until next time… Keep Inspired & Ignite the Spark Firestar!

Top 5 General CPT Program Study Topics and Concepts

  After determining the right CPT program has been selected and enrollment process has been completed, studying becomes the next big undertaking. In the very beginning, when I began studying with ISSA and realized the volume of information that I had to understand and remember, I felt overwhelmed and wondered if I had made a mistake. It was a lot of information that I had forgotten and left behind in high school and college that I didn’t know if I wanted to revisit. And then, I had to complicate the whole matter by signing up to study another CPT program (NASM) in the middle of still completing course work with the first CPT program! But, as I got things together and settled into both programs, I began to see the overall same framework of concepts and topics needed to successfully pass them: E xercise Science H uman Biology & Anatomy N utrition C lient Behavior & Personal Development O perating as an Effective and Professional Trainer B onus Sixth Topic: CPR and...

NASM CPT Program Review 2021-2022 Studying for a CPT Program: What You Should Know Series

  The National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) has a solid reputation in the fitness industry. When a new personal trainer at the beginning of his or her career is conducting research and trying to figure out which is the best and well-known CPT program to enroll in, you will find that NASM’s CPT program will appear a lot. You will either hear or see it a lot from fellow CPTs that have or are looking to get it or from fitness employers requiring the cert towards either employment or to move up to the next level in job status. This means that it is well worth the time to research and potentially place near the top 5 of your consideration. If you review their website, you’ll easily find information about all of the programs that they have to offer, the pricing, topics and concepts covered, etc. But the one thing that I can provide to you that you won’t gain from the website particularly a person with no previous educational knowledge or skills in the field is: W hat was it like? ...
