ACE-certified!

I got my certification!

I’ve spent my quarantine trying to accomplish my goals I set at the start of 2020. Working toward these goals has been instrumental in maintaining a positive outlook throughout these trying times. Obtaining my Group Fitness Instructor certification has been one of my loftiest goals since I set out to do it basically on my own. I couldn’t afford to purchase all of the course materials and access to resources recommended by the organization, so I had to prepare via self-guided study. I have a background in biology, so I did have a bit of an advantage, but I’ve studied plants and animals more than human bodies so it still felt like a challenge. I learned a lot while preparing and actually enjoyed being a student again! I didn’t want to feel any extra pressure so I registered for the exam without telling my friends and family. I wrote it on Friday and I PASSED!! I’m so proud of the work I put in and am relieved to have finished.

I didn’t technically need the certification but I did want to make sure that I felt qualified to offer advice and work with people from a wide variety of fitness backgrounds. Now that I have the certificate, I’m so excited to plan for my next steps :)
