Personal Trainer Certification Program

Now Enrolling!

Fitness Formula Clubs (FFC) is now enrolling students for the personal trainer certification program! FFC has teamed up with the American Council on Exercise Science (ACE) to provide a 32-hour personal training program based on the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and will provide practical skills and knowledge for the ACE Personal Trainer Certification exam.

Many organizations require a NCCA-accredited fitness certification like ACE for job placement. This course is not only a great way to add to your credibility and marketability, but also presents a comprehensive system for designing individualized programs based on each client’s unique health, fitness and goals.
