In the upcoming full-day ACE Health and Fitness Summit: Coaching and Training Women, happening on May 19th, attendees will get the pleasure of learning from Jiji Pollock, who will be speaking on "PMS and Exercise: Managing Training and Recovery to Boost Quality of Life."

Though the long-term effects of COVID-19 are still being researched and much is unknown, we are aware of the respiratory complications and effects of Long COVID.  It is likely personal trainers will train someone who has contracted COVID-19.  Returning to exercise is recommended but there are a few considerations trainers should be aware of when working with these clients.  

To understand the current state of the industry and emerging trends, ASF surveyed over 200 club owners, operators, and other high-level club professionals to gauge where the industry is heading. These insights are summarized below.

ACE sat down with Jill Coleman, the founder and owner of JillFit, a business, fitness, and nutrition company and the provider of ACE Approved Fitness Business Accelerator Program, to talk about her experience and growth before the pandemic, as well as what she sees is in store for the future of online fitness.

#Moderation365, an ACE Approved certification created by fitness and nutrition expert and JillFit founder Jill Coleman, MS, promotes eating to satisfaction with small indulgences. Importantly, the curriculum also teaches how to listen to biofeedback and re-learn hunger cues. #Moderation365 is based on the MMAD (Moderation, Mindfulness, Abundance Mindset, and Daily Nutritional Commitments) Nutrition Model, which is proven to deliver impactful results.
