“I always love to challenge my limits. In 2017, had two painful lower back fractures and a rotator cuff injury during my preparation for my bodybuilding and men's physique competitions. It made me eager to learn more on how to keep training my best in every training session while staying injury-free. Searching online for the best personal trainer certificate that teaches the science behind training our body and how to keep improving without injuries, I found NASM-CPT which taught me how to train different body types and various conditions with proven scientific methods. Through Facebook, I found PFC Studio, they provide NASM-CPT program and after the live workshop from NASM master trainer Jeremy Ng and his team, I gained a better understanding on the personal training course and it has helped me a lot in passing the tough final exam. I'm thankful for master trainer Jeremy and the PFC team that helped clarify all my questions and even though I asked a lot, you guys still helped answer my questions clearly. I feel satisfied completing NASM-CPT but I know learning never ends and I will definitely keep coming back to learn more at PFC Studio."

"I really enjoyed the fitness course from a more scientific perspective and I absolutely loved the atmosphere of the workshop! It helped me gain a deeper understanding of fitness and the exercises in terms of why we should do it in certain ways.


The live workshop was very well organised, clear instructions, very detailed, and very enthusiastic coaches!”
