ACE is accepted just like high carb low fat diets are accepted for most fat Americans.....so what does that tell you?
for anyone in the know...ace is a joke....always has been, if you want a certification that you feel has even a remote amout of respectability go with ACSM even though like i said before these peice of papers (certifications) mean nothing to me, i took the course for insurance purposes only.
now just cause someone has ACE doesnt mean he is a moron, most are but many are like me and just take the easy test so they are *accepted* among the clueless people who dont know better....its smart business to take ACE because its widely accepted, thats the ONLY reason I feel ANYONE should bother with that 5th grade level course.
I know MANY personal trainers including myself as well as TONS of gym owners (im gym rat so sue me lol) and ACE is the running joke among trainers...when we see a new trainer who looks like he or she has NO business being a trainer we go ....lemme guess he is "ACE certified" we use ACE as a punch line for jokes.... but like i said just because someone has ACE doesnt mean they are dopes, they are either smart businessmen like myself or like the rest, dont know better. some of you may feel ACE is good, i have no idea why, its just your basic generic easy course in my opinion..........try taking ACSM a 5 day classroom course and hands on, or even ISSA for that matter...when i saw the test..45 essay questions i looked at Fred Hatfield (Dr. Sqaut) and said "you are kidding me right"
bottom line is i would NEVER have taken ACE if it wasnt so widely known and accepted ( for the wrong reasons).
do u know ive talked to some gym owners(idiots) and they wont higher you if u DONT have ACE...i knew people who had ACSM and they got turned down..thats OBSURD!!! i cant stand the fact that people are so clueless.
