What Our Trainers Say About Working at Authentic PT

Authentic Personal Training is an incredible place to build a career. The studio has a truly unique community vibe that makes every day enjoyable, and Alec Draffin — along with the whole team — is genuinely supportive of your personal, educational and professional goals.

I loved having the freedom to design my own exercise programs, which helped me develop advanced exercise prescription skills for a wide variety of clients. The environment also encouraged self-directed learning, improving my ability to assess and train people with different needs and goals.

My time at Authentic PT was invaluable. Alec is an inspiring leader who supported me and helped me grow in every area of personal training. I left feeling confident, capable and certain that personal training can be one of the most rewarding careers you can pursue.”*
