ACE Certification
The foundation of our approach to getting people moving is the certification of well-qualified exercise professionals and health coaches. The more professionals we certify, the greater the impact of the science-based physical-activity and behavior-change programming that they deliver. Our four primary certifications (Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Health Coach, and Medical Exercise Specialist) are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA)—considered the gold standard when it comes to accreditation of programs that certify professionals in healthcare, fitness, wellness and other occupations.
