Personal trainers from around the world have been invited to enter a competition to find the world's best personal trainer, with an expenses-paid trip to the final and a US$5,000 prize set to be claimed by the winner.

Life Fitness has teamed up with a host of global fitness organisations, including the International Confederation of Registers for Exercise Professionals (ICREPs), EuropeActive, Life Fitness Academy and the American Council on Exercise (ACE) to launch the fifth annual Personal Trainers to Watch program.

The competition seeks to recognise and reward elite trainers around the world who "embody the same passion and commitment to the profession as Life Fitness."

Nominations are being invited up to 15th July, with the top 10 finalists will compete in a live global competition in October (at a location to be advised) to determine the winner of the US$5,000 grand prize.

Anyone can nominate a personal trainer who supports a powerful vision, shows exemplary commitment to enhancing client experiences and pursues continuing education for mastery of the profession.

Nominees will be judged on leadership, client motivation, inspiration, certifications and previous recognitions.

Introducing the fifth edition of the competition, Life Fitness President Chris Clawson explained "the Personal Trainers to Watch program seeks the best in the profession, and is our way of recognising those who share our passion for helping people live healthier, more active lives.

"The 2014 program was truly an international competition, and this year, we are excited to reach even more personal trainers across the globe."

Finalists will be announced in September, and the winner will be announced globally following the live event in October.
