NASM gives first responders 20% off select courses and specializations, verified through ID.me, and it puts an end date on the offer. The date is on NASM’s page, so if you’re thinking about a certification, read it before you plan the purchase.
NASM is the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and this is a discount on education rather than on equipment or a membership. Its page invites you to save on your fitness education with the help of NASM and ID.me, and ID.me’s listing mentions Certified Personal Trainer packages and a Career Kickstarter Bundle. If you’ve ever thought about a second income teaching fitness classes, or training coworkers at the station gym, this is the discount to look at.
How To Get The NASM First Responder Discount
- Open NASM’s ID.me page and find the First Responders section.
- Click the green Verify with ID.me button and verify as a first responder.
- NASM says you receive a single-use promo code for 20% off eligible items. Save it.
- Enter the code in the coupon code section at checkout.
NASM’s First Responders section says it’s a chance to join the NASM community and dig deeper into your passion for being there first to serve others. The promo code is one-time use, so build your cart first and then generate the code when you’re ready to pay.
The End Date And The $499 Note
NASM’s page has a section called “How Long Is My Discount Valid?” and it gives an end date for the 20% offer. That’s the brand’s own date, and it’s the one that counts: open the page, read it, and buy before it passes. After that date, nothing on the page says the offer continues, and if NASM moves the date, its page is where the change will show first.
ID.me’s listing for NASM adds a condition that NASM’s own page doesn’t mention: the discount is valid on orders with a merchandise subtotal of $499 or more, and additional restrictions may apply. So the smaller courses may not qualify. Look at the subtotal in your cart before you generate your code, because the code is single-use and you don’t want to spend it on an order that falls short. NASM says the discount applies to select courses and specializations, so not every item on the site is included either.
Who Qualifies, According To ID.me
NASM doesn’t define “first responder” on its page, and ID.me’s responder page for NASM says NASM has a first responders discount and/or cash back offer. ID.me’s own eligibility article is the one to read. It lists EMTs at the basic, medium or advanced level, plus paramedics and flight nurses; firefighters, whether career, volunteer or retired; law enforcement, including federal, state, local and campus police officers (active and retired), sheriff’s deputies, state troopers and corrections officers; federal agents from agencies such as the FBI, the DEA and the U.S. Marshals Service; and 911 dispatchers for select offers only. The article doesn’t say whether a particular offer counts dispatchers, so check before you count on it.
It’s just as specific about who doesn’t qualify. Nurses, doctors and other medical professionals aren’t considered first responders unless they’re specifically listed, such as a flight nurse or paramedic. The article also names ambulance drivers (unless you can document being an EMT or paramedic too), CERT team members, security officers, search and rescue team members and volunteer police reserves among the roles that aren’t eligible.
