SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Sept. 15, 2005 – The recent tragedy in the Gulf Coast has left the region devastated and many ACE-certified fitness professionals have been adversely affected. Several of our current certified professionals are looking for help immediately. The ACE website is now offering a discussion board to assist those in need.

Anyone in the fitness community or anyone with the means can help and are encouraged to log on to the discussion boards at http://acefitness.infopop.net/3/OpenTopic. These fitness professionals are looking for fitness jobs, equipment, clothing and supplies. Those in need can come to the board and connect with aid directly. There is no cost associated with any listing on these boards.

The ACE Discussion Boards are an online community. This online forum is provided as a public service by ACE to allow fitness professionals and the general public to share information with one another.
