Gotta have it If you want to pass, you gotta have this book to prepare. Can be kind of dry, could be better organized. On the whole, it does what it should. Enjoy.
Great textbook for ACSM studying This textbook serves as a great starting place for studying for the ACSM test. It goes into more detail than the Review guide. I also took the 3 day workshop and with this book, it covers a lot of the testing topics.
Not the best resource, but a good secondary review I have been teaching fitness for several years and wanted to get a personal trainer certification. Based on the learning materials available, I chose to go with ACSM rather than ACE. However, once I got this book, I quickly realized I also needed to get the text book (ASCM Personal Trainer Resource Book) as there were no examples to support why certain questions were asked or not. Once I had the text book, this made a lot more sense, and was a fairly useful review. I suspect its also a very good resource for those who had taken the live seminars.
Awesome resource for any trainer! I wasted a lot of money on other PT study materials and this was by far the best content AND the best value! You will not go wrong with this purchase! This is a comprehensive, hard cover, color photo and just an overall high quality book.
great book This book is great, I am an Exercise Science major and I am getting ready for the ACSM personal training exam, this is a big help, all of the stuff I have learned over the last few years in nicely condensed in this book.
