The MVP study package had everything I wanted and needed to be fully prepared and confident in passing my exam. The PDF study guide, audio study guide, practice tests and flashcards helped me learn and prioritize the most important topics for the ACE Exam. The pass gaurantee of this package was a big bonus in alieveing my test anxiety. I will definitely be using Trainer Academy in the future.

Hello my name is reese. All I can really say is that purchasing the study package was the best thing I ever did. The guides really helped me with studying for the examination. I spent a lot of time doing the practice exams and quizzes. It helped a great deal and allowed me to go back through the text on material I was weak on. My favorite part of the material was the neumonics . Those were so helpful . Especially for learning all the overactive and underactive muscles. It was really a life saver when it came to the test.

I bought this program after I had completed all of my ACE Certified Personal Trainer pre-licensing training. My exam was less than two weeks out, and I was really struggling with the material. This program helped me focus on my trouble areas, and I passed the exam the first time. I know I would not have passed without this program. Thank you!

Great collection of information, summarization of book chapters, etc that guided my study. My favorite was the flashcard system they use.

The amount of material required to pass the ACE Certified Personal Trainer exam is overwhelming. Trainer Academy helped me to organize all the information and provided great memorization techniques. Their practice tests really helped me to key in on areas where I needed the most help. The index cards were critical. If you are struggling to prepare for the exam, I highly recommend the Trainer Academy. I would not have passed without their materials.

I thought that the course was very helpful and really going into detail about the material that I was learning about the CSCS overall. I would try to update the material towards today standards of the CSCS because you guys are currently using the old standards of the test and the test has updated itself since 2020. But overall great experience and it helped me out in the long-run.
