I found that I learned a lot through listening to the lectures and completing the quizzes ! However it was very challenging to follow along due to the fact that the study guide and the lectures didn’t coincide with the chapters in the current ace fitness book which made it hard for me to study. Also even though I did pass the ace fitness exam 70% of the questions on it weren’t connected to the study guide or practice exams ):

Hi Isabella!

Congrats on passing your ACE Exam! We did load the updated course to your account that covers the newest edition of the book and exam. Were you able to use that?

Great product and great value - highly recommended

I read the entire NASM CPT textbook front to back, watched all the videos, took all the quizzes, etc., but still felt like I wasn't fully prepared to pass the exam on the first try. I purchased the Fitness Mentors NASM CPT online prep course and completed it in roughly two weeks and everything just clicked. It truly helped me to "connect the dots" and learn the material vice memorizing a textbook. After taking and passing the exam, I can say without a doubt, your chances of passing based solely on memorization are slim due to the way questions are worded. You must truly have a grasp of the concepts and be able to apply them. This course did just that and was worth it's weight in gold. Great product and great value - highly recommended.

Thank You Fitness Mentors!!

Thank You Fitness Mentors!!! I have been a Certified Trainer for the past 4 years. However, I always felt that there was a gap in my knowledge. I wasn't quite sure how to go about being a trainer. My recent experience with Fitness Mentors has been incredible. I have a history of learning deficiencies, and sometimes processing information is a challenge. Fitness Mentors organizes their courses in a way that you can absorb the information and commit it to memory. I actually feel as though I'm learning my craft. My first course with FM was the Special Populations Certification. Everything clicked!!! I was able to complete the course surprisingly quick. I immediately turned to the courses in Program Design Specialist, and Nutrition Specialist. Same Results! The information came easy. The Personal Trainer presented some difficulty, especially the exam. Again, FM gives you the tools to succeed. The educational support, communication, and customer service that you all offer is AMAZING!!!

Two thumbs up, worth it

Great job from someone who knows the test- especially from someone who can tell you where to focus and where NOT to focus. Which is important. Eddie knew to a solid extent how many questions from the various Chapters would show up on the NASM test. He also made clear the key elements that will be necessary to make it in terms of personality, professional knowledge, continued education, proactiveness, and discipline as a trainer. This type of work is not for designed for introverts- it is designed for confident Type-A people. If that is you, then I would certainly recommend this material. Having a background in biochemistry, anatomy & physiology will make the material a breeze. I know for a fact that the audio course can be done in 3 days.

I recently used the material from Fitness Mentors to supplement other study resources in order to pass my NASM personal trainer exam. The audio lectures were very helpful - it was nice to "study" with someone else, rather than just reading a textbook. I believe it really helped me to pass on my first try!!

Trustworthy material

I used FM resources to prepare for the NASM exam back in 2017, the audio lectures were extremely helpful; I was able to digest the complex NASM book much easier.

Fast forward to 2021 and FM resources have evolved and increased, I’m using them again to gain more knowledge and brush up. I email Eddie and he is responsive and efficient.

I am very happy with the Business & Sales: The Guide to Success as a Personal Trainer. Don't be on the fence about taking this course, go for it!! This course gave me insights into setting up pricing and a better understanding of how I can serve people. The Fitness Mentor is great on a number of levels. I am very satisfied with the whole experience! Thank You, Eddie!

PLEASE USE THIS PROGRAM

PLEASE USE THIS PROGRAM. After hearing from multiple people how difficult the ACE exam is, I was very scared to try and tackle all of the information from every text and workbook given by ACE. Fitness Mentors helped me to feel much more confident and no longer overwhelmed. I passed the test on January 28th, 2021 and I still can't believe it! There is no doubt on my mind that the Fitness Mentors program for ACE got me through that test.

Very thankful for Fitness Mentors

I am very very thankful for Fitness Mentors and their program. I'm an auditory learner so the audio lectures were perfect! I thought the lectures along with the detailed study guides and the chapter quizzes were fantastic and were great reviews of the material! Eddie was also available and responded promptly to any emails with questions I had. He definitely helped to make the material and information much easier to understand.

I couldn't have passed my ACE exam without help from Fitness Mentors. Thanks again for everything Eddie!

Useful info for return-to-training after acute injury

I am a pain physician focusing on chronic pain management. I joined this lesson hoping to learn the secret of giving exercise prescription to chronic pain patients. Now I am on the session of upper extremity. Unfortunately, this lesson seems to target return-to-training after acute injury, and this is not compatible with my expectation.

I recommend that you can consider updating PEACE&LOVE principle for acute injury management in addition to POLICE or PRICE. Although PEACE&LOVE is not yet a “guideline”, but it stand for a paradigm shift for the concept of tissue recovery.

On the other hand, ITB syndrome have been proved related to compression rather than friction. You can consider updating this part as well.

As for technical issue, I personally wish your online videos provide functions of speed adjustment & subscriptions like Youtube. It would be more friendly to non-native English speakers.

I am still on my way learning. I hope I will benefit from the following lessons. Happy new year.

VGFI - the course you need!

The Virtual Group Fitness Instructor Certification - everything you need to get a solid grasp on group instruction in general with the added benefit of understanding how it affects training when you're not in front of your group or individual. Even if you already have a group fitness certification, I highly recommend taking this course.

Great for all types of learners. There is a combination of video, pdf and assignments in each module. I myself am an audio / visual learner and this really helped.

I had a hiccup and needed some assistance. Eddie was extremely responsive in getting back to me and made sure that my problem was solved quickly and without hassle.

The added bonus editable content was a pleasant surprise too!

Fitness Mentors makes it easy for someone new to group fitness to get started almost immediately after taking this course (like me!)

If you're on the fence about it and need encouragement, I say go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Fitness mentors is second to none when it comes to breaking down information in a way you can learn the material and be successful in the course! I’m confident I will pass the exam because eddie keeps it interesting and he doesn’t bore you to death with a bunch of information.
