The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is a nonprofit organisation that certifies personal trainers, group fitness instructors and health coaches.
ACE's public listings describe the ACE-CPT as an NCCA-accredited certification built around its Integrated Fitness Training (IFT) model, requiring a proctored exam, CPR/AED qualification and continuing education for renewal. ACE publishes consumer-facing research summaries through its ACE Fitness resource library and maintains a public directory where a trainer's certification status can be verified. ACE credentials are included in the USREPS registry.
