This only applies to those who are certified instructors? Who did you get accredited through and why did you choose them? I know there are a few options, ACE, AFAA, ASFA etc. I'm seriously considering becoming a group fitness instructor, focusing on step for now and was wondering what program to use.

Thank you for your help!

    Hi! I'm an AFAA certified group fitness instructor. I chose AFAA because it is accepted by most gyms and if you take the certification during their APEX times (I think February/September?) you can get an AWESOME discount ($99 compared to $300 + the cost of study materials).

    All of the certifications that are most accepted by gyms (AFAA, ACE, etc.) require home study. Some require just a written test and some have both a written and practicial portion of the test. I also liked AFAA for Group Ex because they offer a practical skills workshop on the day of the certification test.

    ....with that said, I'm currently studying for my Personal Training cert. through ACE :)

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
