Ace - American Council On Exercise
Hi, My name is Joe Alagno and I have earned an A.C.E. Personal Training certification. This was the first thing that I did right out of college with my undergrad in exercise science.
I would have to say that the A.C.E. is a pretty thorough exam that covers all the major areas. This in not the main reason why I think the A.C.E. is a great exam to take.
Besides giving a great cover of personal training material the people at ace offer many other benefits to trainers. I am constantly receiving emails regarding continuing education classes and seminars in my area and nation wide. Also A.C.E. uses sites like gym job to help trainers change jobs, and they have various ways of advertising to attract people to the A.C.E. site to view your A.C.E. trainer profile.
All in All there are many tests out there and some focus more on one area than another but the A.C.E. is a well rounded test that can sit up at the top with the rest of the great certification out there.
