Summary
The NASM Certified Wellness Coach course allows you to practice as a general wellness coach who can help clients establish healthier habits and change their lifestyle for the better. This is not an intensive science-based course, so it won’t be the right fit for individuals looking to deep dive into anatomy, physiology, or nutrition science. However, it’s a great option for those interested in lifestyle intervention strategies and behavior change.
