WHO AND WHAT IS DCAC?

Twenty-nine years ago, the Washington DC Aerobics Convention was born to help fitness enthusiasts and current professionals advance their careers in fitness education and to develop a community of like-minded fitness professionals.  Our goal has always been to facilitate the launch of new fitness careers, then educate and empower these individuals into successful fitness professionals. Each year our event has expanded to include the newest and most innovative and creative programming available. Combining the best of the best presenters with the added factor of fun makes attending a DCAC sponsored event an annual get together not to be missed.

Whether you are a fitness enthusiast or a certified fitness pro, DCAC has something to offer every year that only a career in the fitness industry can provide. We guarantee that you will leave DCAC with a refreshed spirit for fitness and the enthusiasm and education to motivate and educate your clients, club members and or fitness friends into the future.  Our events are recognized by all the major fitness certification companies and we offer continuing education credits through all of the following agencies: AAAI, AEA, ACE, AFAA, NASM and NSCA.
