ASFU Onboarding Program
We pride ourselves on the quality of our programming and our hands-on coaching and cueing. While all ASF personal trainers have their own passions and specialties, we have a standard of training that we teach through our onboarding process via our educational arm, ASFU. This 13 weeks-long program is paid, and is designed to set new ASF trainers up for long-term success. The expert teaching and coaching provided will benefit even established trainers.
During the onboarding period, coaches learn and apply the basic scientific principles of strength training in the classroom and on the gym floor. We will discuss topics specific to our client population, including the management of stress and fatigue, periodization and program design.
The main objectives of this program are:
- To learn skills and develop confidence to become successful at Austin Simply Fit
- To understand the foundations of proper long term strength training
- To progress toward analytical and technical mastery
- To recognize the importance of continuing education in our field
“Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.”
– Brian Tracy

ASF Internship Program
Austin Simply Fit will be hosting an Internship Program in May of 2026. This program is designed to give developing coaches a real-world look at what it feels like to be part of our team. It is not a full onboarding or coach-development track—that level of depth comes after you’re hired. Instead, it’s a structured opportunity to observe, learn, and experience the ASF environment up close.

NASM Personal Trainer Certificate Program
We are proud to partner with the University of Texas at Austin Center for Professional Education to facilitate their Personal Trainer Certificate program. This hybrid, 12-week course prepares new trainers for careers in the health and fitness industry and culminates with a NASM certification exam. The course is taught by Sierra Nevels, and the hands-on training takes place at our Central Studio.

I have to say that John DeLaPaz is one of the best trainers I have had. Not only does he listen to what my physical goals are and understands what workouts I need to help me achieve them, but he also helps and guides me to make better decisions for faster and more noticeable results. He has always been patient but pushes me to always get better. Definitely keeps me accountable, which is key!
