Brian Cha is a Chinese Entrepreneurship, Personal trainer, author, public speaker, and Philanthropy. He is mainly known as a holder of multiple Guinness World Records for most golf balls hit into a target area in 12 hours[1][2] and most electrical energy generated by pedaling on a bicycle in 24 hours.[3][4]
Personal Life
Cha was born in a relatively poor family in Hong Kong and lived in a small house. His father worked as a truck driver and his mother as a clothing factory worker. As a child, his academic performance was poor but his parents wanted to send him to study abroad in the United States but lacked the funds to do so. Eventually, his close friend's family decided to provide him with the financial support he needed to study abroad and Cha was able to go and graduate from university in 1996.[5]
Career
After graduating from university in 1996, Cha worked as a fitness instructor for 20 years, during which he managed to break two Guinness World Records. In 2016, Cha started his entrepreneurial venture and founded Brian Cha Motivation, a company that focuses on online courses and marketing.[5] In 2019, The Government of Macau Tourism Office (MGTO) and Consumer Council invited Cha to a seminar to help educate local businesses to improve their sales techniques and skills.[6][7]

- On April 5, 2015, Cha led a group of athletes in the charity event "Hoops of Hope" in Hong Kong where they shot basketballs into hoops for 12 consecutive hours as a fundraising event. The raised funds were donated to the BEYOND Children's Special Needs Fund by the BEYOND Foundation Hong Kong.[11]
