What is the AARP Fitness and Wellness Program?
ACE has been selected by AARP as the exclusive provider of personal training for its millions of members. Focused on prevention, this program will provide information, resources and fitness services to help AARP members lead active, healthier lifestyles. In November 2010, the program was expanded and opened up to all ACE-certified professionals including currently ACE-certified personal trainers, group fitness instructors, advanced health & fitness specialists and lifestyle & weight management coaches. Fitness professionals set their own rates for one-on-one training, semi-private/small group training and group fitness sessions and agree to provide a 20% discount along with a special offer to AARP members for either a free initial fitness consultation or free group exercise class. All fitness professionals that enroll in the program will receive 0.2 free ACE eCredits (worth 0.2 CECs, a retail value of $39.99) to use towards eligible continuing education courses.
