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.
