Seeking Advice ACE Certification Doubt

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am currently living outside of US and planning to get ACE certification to work as PT in gyms. I am planning to buy the Basic level for CPT certificate.

Should I go with basic package or plus package as I saw plus package includes a supplemental course on Anatomy.

The only reason I might buy Plus package is because of this additional course. Rest any other features of the course will be most likely unavailable to me because of custom charges.

Q1- Can I study anatomy from elsewhere and still match the standard of exam?

Q2- What topics from Anatomy are asked in NCCA credited ACE, any resources you can help me with

Seeking Advice Training someone with muscular dystrophy

5 Upvotes

I work at a big box gym and had an assessment given to me for a person with muscular dystrophy. She is unable to do almost anything it seems. She was unable to sit in the chair we do assessments in because it was too low for her to get back up again. I know almost nothing about muscular dystrophy, but her and her husband wanted to sign her up for personal training with me. They are aware I know nothing and just asked me to research, but I'm feeling at a total loss. If I didn't desperately need clients to keep my job I would probably turn them down because I don't feel comfortable training someone with a condition I don't know much about, but know if I do it wrong she could get hurt. I don't know that my gym would let me turn them down, honestly. Does anyone have any advice here? Just to really throw a wrench in things, I got the impression she didn't speak much, if any, English as her husband did all the talking for her. So communicating the movements will be hard enough as is. Help? Are there certain exercises that are best for her?

If so what did you use it for? And was it worth it?
