International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) Acquires the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT)


The International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), a global leader in the personal training certification industry, acquired the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers (NCCPT) recently to broaden their scope of educational fitness training courses to expand their student certification offerings.

“With the current COVID-19 crisis, improving public health is more important than ever,” said Andrew Wyant, President of ISSA. “According to the CDC, chronic health conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes are closely linked to higher morbidity rates among those infected. I believe these are largely controllable through diet and exercise and personal trainers are the right people to help.”

“Our goal at the ISSA is to train more personal trainers and fitness professionals with practical and useful tools, education and certification to provide the best fitness programs for their clients.”

The acquisition provides the ISSA with the largest number of National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) accredited programs in all of fitness. The 5 NCCA-Accredited certifications added to the ISSA are Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Exercise Instructor, Certified Yoga Instructor, Certified Indoor Cycling Instructor, and Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Other courses added to the ISSA are specialty courses include Lifespan Fitness Coaching, Powerlifting, Kickboxing, Flexibility and Weight Management, offering a total of 15 fitness certification programs worldwide.

“The COVID-19 crisis creates a current demand for the public to have trusted fitness professionals they can trust to lead them virtually. The crisis will pass in time and with it will come an even stronger focus on health and wellness” said Wyant. “Once gyms reopen, they’ll be filled with people looking to get back in shape after missing their normal fitness routines. Expanding our field of fitness education programs will fill that gap.”

ISSA is a pioneer in the international personal training certification industry. For more than 30 years, ISSA has been committed to providing the highest quality certification education by merging practical applied sciences with the gym experience and building trust in order to help people achieve their goals.

ISSA has trained more than 300,000 students and placed personal trainers across 143 countries, all while continuing to develop greater access to opportunities that promote a healthier world. For more information on ISSA, visit issaonline.com.

January 2021 Designated as 2nd Annual National Conscience Month––a Crucial Time to Use Your Conscience as a Guide to Making Better Decisions


Leonard Perlmutter
Founder of National Conscience Month

When the mind does not regularly rely on the conscience, even a ‘successful’ human being is condemned to acting in the world like an automobile that can turn in only one direction. Collisions and destruction are inevitable.Leonard PerlmutterFounder of National Conscience Month

The American Meditation Institute (AMI) announces that the 2nd annual National Conscience Month will be observed throughout the month of January, 2021. The mission of this observance is to remind and encourage individuals across the nation to practice using their Conscience as a guide in every level of decision making.

Working in partnership with citizens, governments, school systems, faith leaders, non-profits, community organizations and corporations across the United States, National Conscience Month provides every citizen a fresh opportunity to experience the value of using the Conscience as an inspired guide to making better decisions.

We know that in today’s world people are moving very quickly and reacting automatically––rather than making discerning choices. Currently there are few coordinated opportunities for teaching people how to evaluate options or to use their Conscience as a guide in everyday situations. Because of this, we experience dis-ease. We suffer personally and as a culture from ills like addictions, gun violence, chronic and debilitating health conditions, suicide, racism, bigotry, stress, and depression, to name just a few.

The inspiration for National Conscience Month grew out of the Yoga Science “Law of Karma” which states simply that thoughts lead to words, actions and, eventually, to further consequences. This law of cause and effect, embraced by all great scientists, from Sir Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein and today’s quantum physicists, is as true and unavoidable as the Law of Gravity.

According to AMI founder Leonard Perlmutter, “A space satellite launched into orbit has no inner guidance to determine its destiny. You, however, can escape the failings of the culture or your own past mistakes, and can truly thrive in every relationship, simply by letting your Conscience be your guide in thought, word and deed.”

National Conscience Month’s January 2021 campaign is designed to:


  • Remind, educate and raise awareness about the value of using your conscience as a guide to making better decisions.
  • Inspire, build and support a national movement that embraces the role of conscience-driven choices in experiencing more health, happiness and security, as we create more rewarding lives for our families, communities and nation.
  • Encourage well-chosen individual actions through simple experiments that aid in increasing positivity, self-confidence, and self-reliance. It is by our personal experience of its wisdom that we learn to trust and rely on our own Conscience.

According to Dan Millman, philosopher, acclaimed author of “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” world champion gymnast and Honorary Spokesperson for National Conscience Month, “Everything you’ll ever need to know is within you; the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body.” Our work in every relationship is to remember and employ this treasure.
