Anyone ACE certified?

[greenday]

I'm taking the ACE personal trainer test on May 4th, I just ordered the book, so I have very little time, and its 480 pages long. I heard the ACE test is simple, I already passed ISSA. If anyone can give me some tips, or tell me what to focus on for the test, any help is greatly appreciated. I heard it focuses on the Business side, and how not to get sued, and that's why Bally's prefers it over ISSA. Thanks Guys, mass karma for help.

I have the ACE cert. I also have 7 others, and honestly the ace was by far the easiest. It barely touches biomechanics or nutrition. It's all about business, and how to conduct business as a trainer.
That's probably why Ballys likes it, cuz they are not that great at training thier employees.

I actually never really studied the book they gave me, I used all the other info I had learned and applied that to the ACE test. But, seeing how it's recognized as a National Certification, and it's one of the cheapest ones, I guess you can't beat it.

Just make sure to study and you will do just fine.

Thanks Peyote, I didn't want ACE cause its cheap, I skimmed the book and its seems too simple. I know Bally's has a bad reputation, but its the only gym in my area, so I would like to work there for awhile, and then train my own clients down the line. I think the ISSA material is harder and more complete than ACE, but its not as highly regarded, I wonder why? Anyway thanks for the info, I gave you some good karma.

ACE is like.... pathetic.

their info actually states that anabolic steroids do in fact not aid muscle growth or repair

just like what kinda stuff do you need to know for such a cert?

is it like hard? would somebody like a training mod off elite be able to just get it like whatever?

does it have like a test you take and if so what kind of questions?
