Ace Certified Personal Trainer

by Janice
(Massachusetts)

I think you should change the exam time to 4 hours for Ace. I was allowed 3 hours to take the first part of the exam, then there was the second part of the exam that I was allowed 1 hour to take. I changed careers and I am confident as a trainer after having studied over a year to understand the textbook. I would recommend Ace to everyone.
I have a question though, why does it not list CPT under Personal Trainer on the list as others do?

ACE shouldn't take 4-6 months
by: Anonymous

I think that ACE should only take a couple of months and maybe just weeks. I can't imagine it taking anybody 4 to 6 months to get ACE certified.

Does anybody know of any personal training schools or 8 to 12 week programs in the Cleveland or Akron Ohio area, besides the National Personal Training Institute in Richmond Heights? If so please email at clewis.23@hotmail.com.

Time it Takes to Complete the Exam
by: Janice

Janice, I think you're right about the time it takes to complete the test. I came very close to running out of time myself. I studied for about 6 months and was still feeling like I didn't know enough when I sat for the exam. If there are others who feel that studying for the ACE exam should take less time, then they must be already familiar with the information or have a degree in Exercise Science or something. Personally, if someone only studied the material for a couple of months or less who had no prior knowledge of fitness training, I certainly wouldn't want them training me!

Lifetime Fitness
by: Anonymous

Who would have thought a gym as well established as Lifetime Fitness would allow one of their HOSPITALITY workers train people at the gym. Paris Long of Lifetime Fitness in Columbus Ohio (Easton) has been training people for the last 7 years, I was one of them. I guess his great football career that ended at The Ohio State University, showed him how to be a personal trainer...NOT! But somehow folding those towels and cleaning those showers can enlighten you. I say beware and someone needs to put an end to this fraud! Hes a big guy because of genetics and his basic knowledge of working out. But dont let the brawn fool you, he is a joke! Beware Columbus and Lifetime Fitness get on the ball!

ACE exam
by: c

Take as long as you can to prepare for the exam. it seems easy but is not as easy as some would think. know the material like a priest knows the bible. remember what you think i unimportant. the only answers to the test are the ones you get from the material.
