I love the unique course offerings from the Spencer Institute. For example, Brain Fitness Coaching, Holistic Nutrition, and their latest, Integrative Health Coach. No one else offers these unique courses that directly impact health outside of the weight room.
NESTA and the Spencer Institute have become my go-to for one-stop education and certifications. The courses are affordable, and the education is priceless, especially with such an extensive list of course offerings.
My brother told me about the Spencer Institute, and I thank him because it really amped up my skills in coaching clients. Being a busy mom, I absolutely loved the distance learning since it fits with my hectic schedule, and I was able to do the courses at my own pace!
