Also, in terms of documentation (medical questionnaire, waivers etc...), where do you find these? Do you have to type up your own? Do you need legal advice or consultation for this?

Is there a step-by-step guide on what to do once you have your certifications? I have a few questions?

For being employed by a gym:

1. How does one go about this? I have been certified for over...

Yeah I do kind of blame her, she is friends with the gym owner so I'm even doubting she is certified at all. The website makes it look intense and there's no way she passed this. She used to weigh...

I am asking because I know the ONLY certified trainer at my old gym has this cert, and she doesn't know anything about exercise or nutrition and is a complete joke and embarrassment. I want to know...

The gym I work at/used to work at is run by the city and I have a ton of complaints about it. Long story short, a bunch of consecutive lies by the management have led to me losing my job, even though...

I just took the exam and only studied from the 3rd edition manual and passed. didn't even really need the whole new IFT model thing. yes it's probably better to have the newer manual, but i don't...

Thanks, I didn't know it was so different. I thought the only addition was the IFT model, which I also studied for separately.

But does anyone know if the responses are right/wrong?

Or do they...

Took the exam today.

Will not give out any questions, but it was a lot more difficult than I expected, and I not only read the ACE manual (3rd edition), but also the ACT manual and the CPTN...

There was a study done a while back showing that for each day of abstinence there was a small increase in test, but small enough to not be noticeable. After the 7th day though there was a gigantic...

Well it's too late now. They let me go, ONE FUKKING week before I am to write my ACE exam. What's ironic is that I came on this forum for help, but a member's suggestion to do ACT ruined me. I was...

A lot of personal trainers were taught to teach 3/4 squats as a legal/liability issue. Even 1/3 squats are preferred because there's less chance of injury. It's really sad how trainers can't really...

can anyone provide a rundown of the IFT model?

i am currently studying out of the 3rd edition, and believe the IFT is new. my exam is in 2 weeks and this is all i'm missing, hope it isn't too...

what the hell? the censored word was supposed to be (c)erts. I don't know that was blocked, now it looks like I was swearing.

My place of work only recognizes the YMCA FIT certification because they are affiliated with the borough (which I find ridiculous). After a few weeks, I have negotiated for them to let me take the...

Thanks for the reply.

The place I work isn't even really a gym, it's a weight room in a sports center, and the heads aren't really knowledgeable in terms of certificates (or of weight rooms in...

Has anyone heard of this?

The place I work now is run by the city, which is affiliated with the YMCA and they require all weight room instructors to have the YMCA FIT certification. I have...

Dammit pacificd, where were you two weeks ago haha? ACT is EXACTLY what I was looking for because we aren't allowed to train anyone. This is great for my situation. It seems a bit sketchy though, as...

really? I thought Part 1 was 150 multiple choice, and then Part 2 was to design two programs. If it is all multiple choice then that is great. I always thought they used Part 2 as a substitution for...

Ok, so I am officially taking the ACE Exam on March 16th. Still have two more chapters to read, plus will give myself a week of review. I think I should do fine, but PART 2 worries me, where you have...

Hey guys,

things are going well. Trying to read more than 1 Chap per day now. It actually gets EASIER the more I get into it. Still haven't gotten to the legal and liability stuff.

But yes,...
