More efficient movement for a lifetime of health
Movement is the key to a healthy life. As a health and exercise professional, you help your clients improve their wellbeing every day. The ACE Functional Training Specialist Program will help you expand these efforts and get your clients moving more efficiently and more effectively.
Movement drives health, but not all movement is created equal. Inefficient movement can put negative stress on the body. For some, that stress can lead to pain and a diminished desire to exercise. The ACE Functional Training Specialist Program will provide you with a deeper understanding of how to train the body to move correctly. Whether it's improving core function to give clients an edge in athletic competition or boosting balance to help older adults play with their grandchildren without pain, functional training can help all adults improve movement efficiency.

Reviews
Lots of good information. The course took 62 hours which is way longer than I thought it would. The quizzes didn't upload correctly for 2 of the modules. I had passing scores and when I hit save and exit, it did not capture the quiz and give me a checkmark beside quiz. I then had to reach out to ACE via email and wait several days to get a response and they said I didn't complete the quiz. I then had to retake the quiz again. Luckily I had written my answers down, but on one of the quizzes they mixed up the answers, so it wasn't a quick fix to re-enter the information. Also, if I exited the module (after saving) and returned it didn't show that the videos had been watched and I had to re-click through all of them again. It just seems like some technical difficulties with the program should be fixed. I did enjoy the course overall.
I found this course very informative and there was a lot of information I will use. I couldn't wait to try the Twist program once I was finished with the course.
This course was both highly intensive and very applicable in the fitness training world. Functional Training is now a fundamental part of programming for your clients of all ages, It is even more vital for training programs involving an aging community that is both older and more active than ever before. I highly recommend this course for today's fitness professional.
