Hi ya'll,  I'm not really familiar with OH "Groups", and how they differ from the other forums, can someone explain it to me?   Congrats on passing your test to be a personal trainer, Willow.  I'm thinking of moving in that direction myself.  I'm taking a Spinning instructor course in early April, and will think about the next step after that.  What kind of course and/or certification did you take?  I'm not really sure where to begin, but I'm looking into some courses in exercise physiology.  I love learning about the body, and how it responds to nutrition and exercise.  But, there's so much conflicting information out there that it boggles the mind! ETA:  Is this a local group? I just notice you're all from Illinois.  If so, I must be in the wrong place!  Tami

I am ACE certified ( American Council on Exercise) I took classes thru my local community college, ACE also has home study programs and live workshops.  ace is a nationally recognized certification program. I had to pass an exam to be certified. the groups are a smaller more personal way to interact, and I am hoping to take it to the next level with  having actual support group meetings in my area. Working on details and logistics.
