American Council on Exercise (ACE)

I received my certification by ACE about 15yrs ago and am also very happy of the knowledge I have applied to training clients!

Excellent course that covers alot of ground. ACE is widely known and delivers a great set of study materials filled with in formation needed to help educate client's on proper form, importance of balance, ect. Highly recommend.

I carry a few certifications and I attend college for fitness and I have to say the knowledge I gained from studying and passing my ACE cert carried through so much so that I actually passed the ACSM HFS with one week study time. ACE already prepped me with all the knowledge I needed. I am so happy I chose ACE!

ACE is a widely recognized and accepted organization in the field for fitness certifications. I have the group fitness instructor certification and am proud to say that I am ACE-GFI certified!

I have been certified by ACE for 11 years and never have a problem or a complain. I also got the PT job I want it in the place I wanted because I was certify by ACE.

I have been CPT and GFI certified four year's and yes i will say it's the best investment i have made in my life because i can train a client even if i am 70yr's old, this field is a long term career and i respect all my fellow trainer's for their hard work in educating themselfs and keeping up with important information. It take dedication and discipline in any field or career but as a personal trainer we must have plenty of patience and motivation its not the training of a persons body that's the challenge its the re-educating of their minds that determines the progress, therefore we as trainers must keep feeding or brain and ace has all the mental food we need , try it you will like it....

I have been a certified trainer since 1998 and a LSWM Coach since 2003. To this day, I am still as proud as the day I received my exam results to say the I'm ACE certified!

ACE is an organization that fosters professional trainers that care about their clients. The support and motivation we get from this organization inspires us to become the best trainers in the industry!

The new updated ACE IFT model is probably the best system on the market and the exercise science in the study materials is the same information that I covered while working towards my B.S.. There is no lack of information and it can be overwhelming, but you won't go wrong with this certification, I feel like the new updated ACE is leading the industry right now. I recommend this certification to anybody who is thinking about a career in personal training.

If you have seen the old manual and were disappointed with it (as I was), its time to take another look at ACE because they set the bar with this new updated course and I can't say enough good about it.

I v'e been certified by ACE for nearly 10 years. I'm proud of the work they have done to stay current with thelatset research. The exam isn't easy & it shouldn't be. We have a responsibility to the buying public, to make sure we train correctly & efficiently. I think the nest step would be to be licensed by every state to practice personal training. The hair & massage industry is required to be licensed.. So should we.

I have been certified through ACE for group exercise since the early 1990's. I attend the World IDEA conference each year to earn my CEC's, and have met some awesome people there! I feel it is the best organization to be certified through, as it is recognized worldwide. I have had other certifications through other agencies which closed up shop, and I feel confident that ACE wi9ll always be around.
