Nicki Parks, ACE Certified Personal Trainer

The State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) does not require licensing for personal trainers. Nicki Parks is listed in the Ace Integrated Fitness Training® database as a personal trainer.

Requirements for ACE certification include CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) certification as well as basic first-aid.

This is important for clients. Due to the nature of personal training, which sometimes is done at the client's home or another private setting, and because physical exertion can cause injury or a health emergency, it is important for personal trainers to have relevant training to handle such situations.

IronEdge Coaching - Heather Gollnick

The State of Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) does not require licensing for personal trainers.

"Numerous certifications" is listed for this individual, however, that is not much help for consumers. Without listing specific certifications, they cannot be checked and consumers are not given necessary information about the type of certification, which makes it difficult for consumers to determine whether this coach would be well-suited to their needs.
