The Brookbush Institute is the best-reviewed certification and course provider in the industry.
Brookbush is the most efficient Personal Training Certification I have ever come across. All the lessons are well thought out and very straight to the point. I recommend everyone who wishes to start there journey training others, check out Brookbush for the affordability and efficiency.
Over the last years I've returned time and again to Brookbush Institute for stellar coursework as I've worked toward a Human Movement Specialist certification. (I'm currently ACE CPT, and in training with Anatomy Trains for Structural Integration Manual Therapy.) Every Brookbush Institute module is fantastic and each one includes detailed informational videos, written descriptions of how to-do, and, more importantly, why to-do!
I highly recommend signing up to any new massage therapists and personal trainers that I meet.
I am getting my Master's degree in Kinesiology, and I would like to say that I have benefited greatly from the rich, comprehensive, well-documented scientific content of Brookbush Institute that links theory to practical applications. Proudly I've got my CPT certificate, and I am on my way to get my HMS certificate.
I recently completed the CPT course. It was demanding yet practical. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting an education about human movement.
I have almost completed my CPT certification and am half-way through the Human Movement certification to inform my massage practice. The different modalities of reading, watching audiovisual materials, and attending live or recorded webinars have been important to my learning style and for review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the CPT, HMS and IMT certifications?
Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) focuses on "Strength and Performance". Human Movement Specialist (HMS) focuses on "Corrective Exercise". Integrated Manual Therapist (IMT) focuses on "Manual Therapy".
Do I need to complete additional credits to maintain my certification?
Yes, we do support the minimum standard of 20 additional credits/hours of education per 2-year period to maintain certification status. However, we have completely disrupted the re-certification process. With BrookbushInstitute.com your certification will expire 2 years from the last course you took, within a 2-year period with 20 credits completed. I know that sounds complicated, but the result is a massive simplification of the re-certification process. This means that as long as you take 1-3 courses a quarter, your expiration date will be extended indefinitely. And, this is automatic, you never have to worry about some clumsy process of submitting certificates or paying additional fees. Your account will automatically be updated every time you take a course.
What is the difference between a monthly and yearly memberships?
You will have full access to all online resources included with BrookbushInstitute.com with either membership. The annual membership rewards your commitment to education, with a savings of $40 per year when compared to 12 months of the monthly membership. You can cancel either membership at any time.
How long does it take to complete the certification?
It depends on how fast you can finish approximately 60 hours of online study. There are no time limits or expiration dates. One of the many things we love about the monthly membership model is giving students the ability to dictate the pace of their education.
What is the cost of a membership?
Memberships are $19.99/month or $199.00/year, cancel anytime, 30-day money back guarantee no additional fees (courses, certifications and mobile app included).
What is included in a membership?
Membership gives you full access to BrookbushInstitute.com which includes:
Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) Certification
Human Movement Specialist (HMS) Certification
Integrated Manual Therapist (IMT) Certification
150+ CEC approved Online Courses
500+ Videos
500+ Articles
Mobile app for easy navigation on your phone

If I cancel my membership will I lose my certification status?
Your certification is valid as long as you have completed 20 credit hours of education on the Brookbush Institute platform within the last 2 years. Certification status is not tied to your membership status. You do not lose certifications, nor do you lose progress toward any certification when you cancel. You can re-joint at any time and pick-up where you left off.
Do workshops count towards the certifications?
Yes, but the workshop is only mandatory for the Integrated Manual Therapist (IMT) Certification.
Performance Program Design (Live or Live-stream) = 16 CPT Credits
Corrective Exercise Lab (Live or Live-stream) = 16 HMS Credits
Integrated Manual Therapist (Mandatory) = 16 IMT Credits
What is the cost of the certification?
There is no additional cost for certification, it is included in the cost of a membership ($19.99/month or $199/year).
Do some of the same courses count for the different certifications?
There is some over-lap, but each certification has a distinct focus. Each certification does mandate that you complete 10 elective credits, which can be fulfilled by taking courses from the certification you want to do next.
