My own training and work as a trainer supports this.
Unfortunately, I don't agree, but I don't have time right this second to enter into a lengthy debate on it.

Jennifer, you should run, and run far, if someone's tosses their ACE certification at you as a badge of excellence. It's the absolute bare, bare minimum someone should have in this industry, nothing more. This, by the way, is from someone who used to be ACE certified. Stick to NSCA or ACSM certifications.

And Jennifer, welcome to the wonderful world of fitness where everyone has an opinion, everyone has a study, and a lot of it is wrong.
