I’d appreciate any advice if possible:
From what ive read , i think getting an ACE cert is the smartest thing to do for my current situation and goals (getting started with personal training, working for a gym) , but im unsure as to what i should be purchasing or doing when i visit this site :
http://www.acefitness.org/getcertifi...ification.aspx
Is it necessary i spend $700 on testing/study materials ?
Should i just be buying the basic study package ?
Are you able to simply register for the test and take it without purchasing additional study materials ? Have any of you done this ? ( i do not have any degrees in exercise science, nutrition or A&P)
Do you need to physically go to a testing center to take the exam ?
If i have no prior degree or legit/official education in these areas would i really be needing 6+ months to prepare and register for this exam ? ( i plan to have further education in the future)
