You do not need to be a certified personal trainer in order to take our TRX Professional Education Courses. To find out about courses available in NZ, please contact our authorized distributor there.

Probably not but it would be advisable to get certified with TRX and really remain on top of your game as even a slight error can lead to injury.

Hi Jacqueline. I agree with Natalie. Whether or not being a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) is required or not, having your CPT can only help since it will give you valuable information on how the human body works, and how exercise effects us all.

I hope that this helps and good luck!

Due to the timing of my exams, I took my TRX personal trainer course before I took my ACE pft exam. You don't have to be a pft first, but it does put some context around what you're learning in the TRX course (or any other course you attend).

There's also a group exercise module. For that, you might prefer a group exercise certification rather than a personal training cert.

No, you dont have to have other certs to certify TRX but it would help with gaining knowledge of muscle synergy and other exercises and what muscle groups do what.
