I have not taken the exam yet, but I am preparing for it. I purchased the information for the Group Fitness instructor from ACE. It appears difficult, but I believe what you put your mind to, you will conquer. Good luck. Michelle

I have not taken the exam yet, in fact I just received my material for the ACE exam about 2 weeks ago. It came with a practice booklet and a summary of the actual manual (which I have as well). I am currently studying for my black belt test which I take next month - I then plan on hitting the...

Hi Cheryl, You can email me at [email protected]. We should definitely keep in touch, share ideas - that would be great. Do you play music for your guys? Sometimes I let them pick or even bring in their own music if they have it. Always remember that change is a little difficult...

Thank you Cathe - that is the route that I will take. Michelle

Hi Cheryl, You should contact the Department of Mental Retardation in your area and ask to speak with the person who runs the activity department, the State usually sets aside money for activities for these kids that they will benefit from - a kicking shield or even a wave master usually do...

Thank you! This has helped out a lot! I initially went the ACE certification route, but have also looked into NASM. With this wealth of knowledge you have provided for me, I think I am going to get the ACE certification (which appears to be unanimous) and then I will proceed to go for NASM...

Hi Marla, I heard the same thing, but I don't see many instructors with that credential. I prefer ACE (which is the direction I would be heading if I hear nothing otherwise). They offer the group fitness cert. which is what I need. I als teach kickboxing (a very downscaled version) to...

How's your carb level? Are you taking too many in - check that out in your diet. Fruits and vegetables are a healthier way to boost that energy level up. Your fruits will provide you with the natural sugar that your body needs (eat an apple when you feel sluggish). Try to also work out in...

Hi Cathe, What is the best certification to get for a group fitness instructor? There are so many out there now that I am getting confused. I know that ACE, AFAA & NASM are good, but which one should I choose? I currently teach kickboxing now - I study Martial Arts, Tae Kwon Do method. I...
