Are you ready to level up your career in fitness, wellness, or health promotion? In this episode of the “Master Instructor Roundtable,” hosts Wendy Batts and Dr. Marty Miller welcome Dr. Barry McGlumphy, program coordinator at Penn West University (formerly Cal U), for a deep dive into the transformative power of continuing education in the exercise science industry. Discover why thousands of NASM-certified professionals―from NFL trainers to gym owners and aspiring fitness leaders―credit PennWest’s fully online bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees with redefining their career paths. Get the real story behind the Cal U-to-PennWest name change, find out how busy professionals can complete a master’s degree in just one year, and learn how you can “stack credentials” by earning graduate credit for your existing NASM certifications.
