More now than ever, fitness & health bloggers are turning into fitness & health professionals, and professionals are becoming bloggers. The Fitness & Health Social Media Conference (#FitSocial) is the confluence of those two paths offering attendees unique access to cutting-edge, science-based fitness & health education (provided by our partners at The Anschutz Health & Wellness Center) and social media training.
We are pleased to announce that #FitSocial is now a recognized by both the American Council on Exercise and by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Continuing Education specialist.
- The American Council on Exercise (ACE) is awarding 1.0 Continuing Education Credit (CEC) for their members attending the conference.
- The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is awarding 11.00 Continuing Education Credits (CEC) for their members attending the conference.

Wait, is ACE offering the equivalent of 1 hour or 10? One hour doesn’t seem right. The main thing is that it’s great news, as we need to get continuing education credits every 2 years in order to maintain our certification. Great news indeed.
