Why Choose the ACE CPT Certification for Personal Training in Hong Kong?


When you Google the words “Personal Training Certification Hong Kong”, you will come across the following companies that provide face-to-face certification; NASM, AASFP offering their IPTFA, and ACE CPT. With these and many more online options to choose from, it can be confusing as to which certification to take up.


While the course costs may be a main indicator of choice, other factors may also play a big role, including:

  • International recognition,

  • Preparation for your target customers,

  • Duration of the course.


Here we will explore the American Council on Exercise Certificate of Personal Training, or ACE CPT for short.

Why

Being a personal trainer can be a rewarding career. Dedicating one’s career to helping people attain their health and fitness goals automatically puts them in a position of a teacher, coach, mentor, and in many cases, a lifelong friend. However to successfully excel at so many roles require multiple skillsets that can only be developed from a strong education foundation – a certified personal trainer education program. Selecting the right one will determine how well you start in the industry.
