FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
To renew my ACE certification, I must submit proof of 20 hours of pre-approved continuing education every 2 years. Most renewal periods, I exceed that number of hours because I want to stay up-to-date and learn things to better help my clients.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I joined a gym 17 years ago where there were a number of truly caring fitness professionals. In the course of helping me work toward my goals, two of them, the gym owner and the group exercise director, encouraged me to pursue fitness certifications.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with clients to maintain health and physical ability during pregnancy and in cases of chronic illness. I also do follow up work with clients who need to continue to rehabilitate after being released from physical therapy after injury and/or surgery. I also work with clients who want to gain flexibility, lose weight, or gain muscular strength.
