Your Program Design Univeristy (PDU) Questions Answered
Who Is Program Design Univeristy For?
Program Design University is for:
- Personal trainers who want to improve their programming every year
- Coaches who want to understand why programs work
- Trainers tired of copying templates without confidence
- Professionals who care about joint health, performance, and longevity
- Coaches who respect evidence-based, real-world training
Who Is Program Design University NOT For?
This is not for you if:
- You’re looking for “plug-and-play workouts only”
- You don’t care about learning principles
- You’re chasing novelty instead of mastery
- You’re unwilling to think critically about programming
Nick teaches trainers who want to think, not just follow.
How Is This Different From Nick's Program Design Courses?
Courses are static, while PDU is designed to be evolving.
The truth is that a course cannot cover every aspect of programming or answer every question that trainers have. You know clients are different and require adjustments to exercise selection, order, and form.
Program Design University allows Nick to answer questions about programming and address the specific nuances of individuality while also providing a price point that is accessible for all trainers.
That said, PDU should be considered a complement, as opposed to a replacement from Nick’s programming courses such as Tumminello Training Templates and Programs (T3P).
Is There Some Sort Of Long-Term Commitment?
Nope! You can cancel at any time.
With Program Design University, you can stay for as long or as little as you’d like. Every month new lessons will become available and you’ll retain access to previous lessons.
That means that the longer you stay, the more you’ll get!
For Trainers That Want To Be The Best At Programming
Instead of:
🛑 Buying random courses
🛑 Jumping between ideas
🛑 Hoping you’re doing it right
You’ll get:
✅ A consistent educational environment
✅ Direct access to Nick’s thinking
✅ A growing library you return to again and again
This is how great trainers stay great.
If you want to design smarter, safer, more effective programs—and understand exactly why you’re doing what you’re doing—Program Design University was built for you.
