CEC Power Pass
It took me about 15 minutes to finish the course. I was hoping this course would make me feel equipped to train adaptive/special needs clients, but I found it was elementary and I didn't see a lot of value in the course that I could take into my career as a personal trainer. Thankfully I only spent $20 on the ACE course so I wasn't too upset. I ended up doing more research on the internet and found courses through certifystrong.com and ended up taking their adaptive courses and was extremely impressed. I also liked how I was able to get more ACE CEU's with certifystrong. I think ACE is just trying to be competitive by offering a very basic course like this but in this case I didn't see the value.

Moving Clients with Developmental Delays Forward
People with developmental and/or physical delays are unfortunately an underserved population in the fitness industry—but they deserve the opportunity to be more active and have positive exercise experiences. In fact, according to the University of Hertfordshire, over 80% of adults with intellectual disabilities engage in levels of physical activity below the minimum recommended by the Department of Health (UK), a much lower level of physical activity than the general population (53%-64%).
In this video training led by Anna Woods, an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, owner of SheStrength, author and mother of two children with special needs, you will learn how to lead a client with developmental and/or physical delays through a personal training or small group exercise session. You will discover creative and fun ways to engage and motivate clients in warm-ups, strength training and cardio workouts using various equipment, tools and communication methods.
Learn how to effectively train this clientele and get results—while making a difference in an underserved population.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Apply program modifications for common movements and workouts to clients with various diagnoses, behaviors and physical limitations
- Communicate in a way that encourages client compliance and motivation to learn
- Provide ideas for parents or caretakers to help their child or client be active at home
