ACE certification credibility

by Hanna Forrest

I am a 35 year old new mom who wants to embark on a new career as a personal trainer. I have a lot of my own gym time and I am very interested in becoming a personal trainer. What about getting certified through ACE? Do you know anything about the credibility of the ACE certification? Thanks for your attention.

ACE is a credible personal trainer certification
by: Katie - Admin

ACE is a good first certification. ACE is widely recognized and will get you a job at most gyms. It is not necessarily the most respected certification in the industry so you may want to upgrade to something a bit more substantial once you are certain that you want to pursue a personal training career for the long haul.

Part-time in-home instructor--ACE?
by: Bert

Hello,

Superb site, first of all!

I am a mid-40's guy who's always kept in good shape through working out and have a passion for health that's growing as I age. I have lived in my area of the country (northeast Dallas, TX) nearly all my life and have a strong affinity for the people here.

I'd like to become a personal trainer, going to people's homes and showing them how to best benefit from bodyweight exercises--no fancy, expensive equipment required. I'm not talking just standard pushups and situps--anyone can do that.

However, despite making it more challenging and highly varied, I wonder if I need some higher-end certification or not. For whatever reason, ACE is one that I've looked into more than others. Some of them seem to either be a bit too lengthy or expensive. This one seems more closely aligned with my goals/ambitions.

My willingness to start it part-time, though, may give me more opportunity to build this business up the right way, rather than rush through key areas.

Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

More respected certification than ACE's
by: Anonymous

I was wondering which certifications qualify for "something a bit more substantial" as compared to ACE?
