- What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here!
Today I'll be talking to you about how to pass your ace cpt personal trainer exam. To get started in the field you need to pass a base level personal training certification, and ACE's is one of the most respected in the industry.
In our opinion, ACE only does a so-so job at breaking down some of this material though.
(NOTE: we are not affiliated with ACE in anyway. Jeff is an ACE certified trainer though, and has many years of experience in the field.)

OARS
The Transtheoretical Model
Pre-participation screening (PAR Q, health history, informed consent)
The Planes of motion
Anatomical Terms
Progressions and regressions to exercises
We covered much more than what is listed above, but that's a taste of things that you should be studying to pass your ACE CPT exam!

Hey guys, make sure to check out the part 2 video on passing your ACE exam right here!: ua-cam.com/video/SG7Q2JDj03s/v-deo.html
Just passed first try today.
3 days of studying. 8 hour days. Last day, do practice tests over and over. You’ll pass.
Congrats on passing!
Bro which is the most important chapter
@@jafu1066 the behavior chapter
@@oculusprime536 thank you
From where I can get practice test questions
INSPIRATIONAL BROTHER! I have the test soon. 4 days!
Just passed ACE personal trainer exam on my first attempt. This video and part II were helpful along with the upper and lower body muscle anatomy videos. Most of the questions on the exam were situational. Lots of videos where you needed to be able to diagnosis the problem, make a recommendation or indicate which muscles were involved. Diffidently study the chapters of the book. Some real surprises on my test. Thanks Jeff
Hey Jeff, I just wanted to say a big thank you for making these 2 videos. I did the most unadvisable thing, which was cramming the studying of the ace cpt exam to the last 2 weeks before the exam (100% not advisable) but by gods grace I somehow managed to pass the exam, and I have to attribute a huge part of my success in passing on these 2 videos(part 1 and 2) as they helped a TON. I watched both videos at least 3 times each, with the last time being the night before the exam. They helped ALOT with my revision. You have this extraordinary gift of breaking down complex terms into simple yet accurate and understandable terms. Please keep doing what you're doing. God bless 🙏
Congrats on passing your exam! Thank you so much for your kind words-so glad you found the videos helpful.
I have 5 days. Think I got time?
Im used to studying science for long hours. I should be fine 5 hours a day of study?
@@JonnyBonezes how was it bro
@@JonnyBonezeshow’d you do??
Hi Jeff, just wanted to let you know that I just passed my ACE personal trainer certification exam, and your videos were very instrumental in my passing this exam. I watched them and listened to them many times especially when I was walking or working out. I'm so very grateful I found your UA-cam channel. It's the best!!
Congrats on passing! Glad you found the videos helpful!
Jeff, I passed my ACE exam yesterday and I signed up for it a little over 2 weeks ago The only reason I passed is because of you, God bless you man and all your work
Congrats on passing! I’m really glad you found out content helpful!
So you just skimmed through without actually gaining knowledge to be a trainer? Lol.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff i think its best to pass the test as soon as possible as ACE CPT doesnt really make you a trainer. You have to learn to become a real trainer.
Thanks for making this video. Actually I'm preparing for ACE CPT Exam and this video was really helpful. By the way , the way you present the content is more understandable. I really appreciate that.
I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks! Good luck studying for your exam!
Hands down this is the best video I've watched as a study supplement on UA-cam. The way things are explained in the video are clear and understandable. I've watched both part 1 and 2 at least 3 times each and I retain more info each time (there is a lot packed in there!) Thank you so much for making this video, I'm still a few weeks out from taking my test but I feel much more confident after watching this several times! Thanks again!
Thank you! I really appreciate that! I’m glad you found the content helpful!
Hey Jeff! I just passed my CPT exam yesterday and i owe so much of my success to this video and part 2; thank you thank you thank you!!! You def hit the critical areas and the things to consider. The majority of my questions were choosing the most appropriate (least aggressive/SOP) type questions. Everyone studying; use this guide, it will help narrow your focus!
Congrats and welcome to the field! I appreciate the the support and the advice for others!
Just passed the test yesterday. One and done. Big thanks to you!
How long you study for brotha?
@@jswarmz 3 months focused on the ACE training materials and 1 month using other resources and test taking practices.
Congrats on passing!
woudl this help the exam for 2024?
@@kaliplaya86 only a lil
Hey, I set myself up for absolute failure with this ACE Cpt exam by not studying until literally 2 days before the exam. This video did wonders for me understanding what kind of questions the exam was gonna ask. Your video & my minimal knowledge of training/anatomy helped me somehow pass my exam. Thank you for this! You the Real MVP
Congrats on passing! Glad it was helpful for you!
you didn’t study at all until 2 days before? I feel better. I got 8 days lol 😩
Highly recommend watching this and part 2 to study for your test!
Thanks so much! Passed my ACE CPT this morning! These videos were able to provide much needed focus for areas to study.
Great job! Glad you found the videos helpful!
im loving how straightforward and blunt this guy is about all the bs that ace makes you learn and memorize. im hopeful and confident about taking exam in a few days thanks to y'all. keep up the great work.
Thanks! I really appreciate that! Keep studying hard!
@mattsimonetti5895 how’d the exam go???
I am also using SUF Study Guide, Not sure which one to focus on as I have an older book.
passed the ACE exam thanks to you man
@@jswarmz well i bought previous month, but didn't did anything, i started preparation like a week ago, started chapter 1 but got bored of reading that big a$$ textbook, so only did this 2 videos 3-4 times both part 1 ad part 2, also study material was best, and 1-2 days before test i just gave practice tests, non proctored test, and did mcqs of sidebook they provided. Questions are similar type just give practice test over and over again and you pass
@@jswarmz congrats bruhh
Thanks Jeff for the great videos! I passed my ACE exam a few weeks ago and these helped SO much. The concept I was struggling with a lot was the planes of motion & I was so glad I remembered how you went over that section because every time there was a question related to it, I was able to visualize it.
So glad you found it helpful! Congrats on passing!
Hey Jeff, thank you so much for creating this content. This has been so helpful breaking down all the concepts. I passed my exam today with flying colors! Watched these videos along with the muscular anatomy videos about 50 times in addition to doing all of Ace's study materials.
Congrats on passing and thanks for your support!
Thank you so much for these videos! I didn’t really have any direction on what to focus on while studying, so I ended up watching your two videos and worked backwards from there. Watched them again before my test and felt so confident going in. Passed yesterday!
So glad they helped you out! Congrats on passing!
I had to make a comment on this, I’ve probably seen this and the second part 20 times now, I had to say thank you so much for making this study guide! I just passed my ACE CPT exam today and I owe a lot of it to this video, I swear I could hear your voice in my head while I was taking the test.
Congrats on passing your exam! So glad you found this video helpful!
I just passed my Exam today 12/6/2023 on the first try! I heavily referenced these 2 study guide videos while going through the ACE study program. I do have a background in Exercise Science which helped shorten my estimated study time. Questions were very practical for sure. Thank you Jeff!
Congrats on passing!
hey jeff! just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for part 1 and 2!! i watched over and over and pretty much memorized everything from both videos and passed my ace exam with flying colors today!! all the info in both parts is sooo solid!!
Congrats on passing!
Hi! I absolutely need to thank you so much. I have never done anatomy or biology and I was a design major in college, teaching group fitness just happened upon me in the last couple years. Studying for the ACE exam was a huge challenge and you cleared up SO many points for me. I passed my exam a couple weeks ago!! Even though I took the GFI Exam, all the extra PT information helped solidify the knowledge in my head. Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful!
Jeff,
I used your videos to pass the Ace Exam in 5 days. I have to thank you! Your videos rock. Great Job Man! You really do a great job presenting the content. Ace should provide you a position. I was not going to like your channel unless I passed the test.I will make sure to like not only this one but bones, muscles, and the part two video.
Congrats on passing and welcome to the field! I really appreciate the kind words and support!
Thanks for all of the helpful resources sir! i passed my exam this morning, physically and mentally exhausted lol, ya'll should watch part 1 and part 2 and also lower and upper antomy as well, i watched those at least 10 times, together with revising all the quizzes, and after i passed i still think that i didn't prepare enough...majority of questions about pick the most appropriate one (pick the least aggressive one) + experiments ques to narrow ur focus, keep in mind that its nowhere as easy as the quizzes, so dont be surprise and keep calm! U'll get through this!
Congrats on passing! It sounds like you worked hard! Hopefully you take a little time to celebrate!
What do you mean least aggressive one? Taking my exam in about 3 weeks
These videos were helpful! The exam didn’t have a lot of the material but he helped me understand how ACE thinks and what sorts of questions would be asked. They are not straight forward, mostly what would be the best advice to give a client types of questions. Or what should you not say/do. I found these videos 3 weeks before my exam and they definitely helped me pass.
Congrats on passing! I’m glad you found our content helpful! They can pull from a huge database of questions so understanding the material is really the best strategy.
Thanks Jeff, for both videos you made the material very simple and understandable, man I was truly blessed by videos, keep up the great work, God bless u and ur family!!!!
Thank you for your support!
Thank you for this. Super helpful. And you explain it better than most of the presenters did in the actual course. 💯💪🏻
I really appreciate that! Thanks!
Jeff you are nothing but a GEM! Both parts of this video series are amazing and the best thing ever. I had my test this week and I was able to pass it. I only studied for a week but I did watch these 2 videos for like 5 plus times. Thank you JEFF!!!! You da best, Ez Clap
Congrats on passing!
These videos were SO helpful!
Quick, to the point & information packed! I passed!!
Congrats and welcome to the field! I’m really glad that you found the vids helpful!
Thank you for your guidance through these videos! I just passed my test an hour ago after using up almost all 3 hours given. Some questions genuinely had me stumped with how they were worded and some concepts, I don't even remember, were given several questions. Needless to say I understand the areas that need improving and will continue to grow throughout my career. Thank you again for the work you've put into these videos.
Congrats on passing your exam!
Hey Jeff I just passed my exam last Friday and your videos made all the difference it helped me focus on the material I needed to know I also watched your videos a ridiculous amount of times. But thank you for taking the time to explain this information in a way that i could understand it.
Congrats on passing! So glad you found the videos helpful!
Thanks so much. You make it clear and easy to understand. I think there is lots of fluff in the Ace program, but understand they have to do that for people. I will watching more of your videos and did subscribe. thanks again. Keep doing it!
Thanks for the support! I’m glad you’re finding our content helpful!
I just pass the exam because of your clip!! Thank you so much... you review all the content that it'll be cover in the exam. And also drop certain part that it's not necessary. I don't think I won't pass the exam if I miss ur video. Thanks again!
So glad you found it helpful! Congrats on passing!
Thank you for this! I just passed my exam and your videos and study guide have been a massive help. Thank you!!😊
Congrats! I’m really glad to hear that the content helped you! Welcome to the field!
Can u help me? My exam is within a week and I’m so stressed.
I just took the ACE test yesterday- and aced it! These videos- part 1 and 2 helped me SO much! Thanks so much for breaking these things down in every-day language.
I'm really glad to see this. My test is tomorrow. I've been studying these videos a lot (and other things) and feel like I know the video information forwards and backwards, but I'm extremely nervous about my exam.
How did you do?
@@SuperHoliday2011 I did great! When I finished I figured I failed… tough test- tricky questions.
I not only passed- I did well!
@@davidjones2486 good luck!!
@@jochamberssmith5481 Great job! outside of these videos, what else did you prepare with? i have my exam in less than a week!
Very good overview of important concepts, passed the exam without even reading the book in 2 days with your videos. Nice work
Congrats on passing! That’s pretty impressive to be honest! I really appreciate the feedback!
I took my exam yesterday and passed with a 743! Thanks so much for your awesome videos and for breaking down the concepts in ways that are easy to understand!
Congratulations on passing!
Congrats!!! Outside of the videos what were you main study tools? And additional reccomend actions for topics to study? My test is next week!
@@SuperHoliday2011 Body Design University has a Facebook group that is extremely helpful. Doug Blake, one of the top guys at BDU, has chapter breakdowns on UA-cam that are fantastic. I also paid for their ACE Prep package and found their study guide, Quizlet, and chapter quizzes to be helpful. Outside of that, know the topics mentioned in these videos, and then maybe a bit more detail. There are multiple tests so some of the topics in these videos might show up 5 times, others might not show up at all.

Hey Jeff! I took my exam today and passed! Firstly I do have a degree in exercise science so this wasn’t new however these videos helped a lot. I recommend to everyone to watch these, and do the ace practice exams. The test mostly consisted of scope of practice, progression/regression/modifications, identifying which muscles are active, and a few legal things from chapter 16
Congrats on passing! Thanks for the feedback as well! Other people taking the exam definitely do read these comments
I passed my exam today!!!! Thank you so much for your videos!!!!!!
Congrats!! Nice job!
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Thanks so much and also I'm learning so much from you!!!

You're very welcome! Good luck!!
Thank you so much for your study guide! It helped me to understand the content. Ultimately helped me pass the exam. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Congrats on passing!

These videos have been very helpful! I took a ACE course 10 years ago at University of Maine and I remember after my first few classes leaving and asking myself "wtf was he talking about?" LOL! Had no idea what some of terms were, I was overwhelmed by the formulas, the size of the book - all of the things to remember.
I've exercised for years but kind of did my own thing, worked out hard but never followed a program. Had no clue what eccentric-concentric meant. When I began to put on muscle and gain strength through Cory G Fitness' website & programs I wanted to learn more.
I haven't put on my thinking caps like this in quite a long time! Outside of basketball lol. For real though, we appreciate all that you do with these videos. Hoping to pass my exam at some point this summer or early fall. Want to make sure I'm ready.
That’s awesome! Keep studying and you’ll be more than ready come summer!
Hi Jeff, I came across your channel looking for material to learn for the ACE GFI exam. I liked your channel very much and subscribed. I am taking the exam on August 31st , 2023. This Thursday! Im really grateful for you and this material, I will be watching your videos and studying all the material. Please if you have any other advice please share with me! Thank you
Hope it went well for you!!

Hi! Thank you so much for these videos. Question…would this work as a study guide for the group fitness instructor exam as well?
I appreciate the support! They would probably help a fair amount tbh. A lot of the background information is the same.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if they touched on a bunch of subjects in the group training cert that I didn’t touch on in these videos.
Hey Jeff, I just passed my exam 2 minutes ago, and you are the first person I wanted to share this fantastic news with. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful study guide. I was stressed out with this huge amount of information to memorize. The content is challenging, especially for me as English is my second language. Your video helped me understand where I should focus. Thank you, thank you!!!
Great job! Congrats on passing!
Did you get the extra 90mins for completing the exam in special accommodation(English not being your 1st language)?
thanks you sir
Of course!
5mins in i knew i had to sup and thumbs up
Thanks! I appreciate the support!
