ACE Fitness Certification?

Is the ACE fitness certification for personal trainer nationally recognized by most gyms? Anyone know what the test is like?

Yes, the ACE certification is generally recognized. However, having a variety of certifications from different organizations isn’t a bad idea either. The ACSM and YMCA have several generalized personal training certifications, and special interest groups often have other certifications (the Yoga Alliance has yoga instructor certifications, for example). According to the website, “Once you successfully pass the ACE Personal Trainer certification exam you will have demonstrated your knowledge of basic exercise science, nutrition, fitness assessment, exercise programming, and instructional and spotting techniques.” If you decide to take the exam, be sure to study ACE recommendations for spotting, instructional techniques, and exercise programming, as these especially may vary from the stances and suggestions provided by other organizations.
