Gain the knowledge and understanding necessary to prepare for the American Council of Exercise (ACE) Personal Trainer Certification Exam and become an effective personal trainer. This course presents a client-centered approach to personal training that features the ACE Integrated Fitness Training® (ACE IFT®) Model as a comprehensive system for designing individualized programs based on each client’s unique health, fitness, and performance goals. We will also use the ACE Mover Method™ philosophy for empowering clients to make behavioral changes to improve their health, fitness, and overall quality of life.
The information covered by this course will be hands-on (as much as possible) and can be directly applied in all settings by using the ACE ABC Approach™ to navigate all client interactions by asking powerful open-ended questions, breaking down barriers, and collaborating on goals every step of the way. The ACE IFT Model and ACE Mover Method philosophy will help you learn through practical application, lectures, and supplemental materials on how to facilitate rapport, adherence, self-efficacy, and behavior change in clients, as well as design exercise programs that help clients improve posture, movement, flexibility, balance, core function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscular fitness.
