Summary: the book for ACSM's Personal Trainer certification
Comment: I don't know why I had so much trouble finding out what the primary resource was for the ACSM personal trainer cert was. But it is THIS book. Not the other books they mention on the website (they're a waste of money, in my opinion.) I searched a lot of places on the net and could not find one recommendation of a good way to study for this test. I have not taken this test but, I have bought this book and the other two books they recommend on their website, and my recommendation is to get this book alone. I have some background in health and fitness and I want to save time and money and do the minimum to past the test. That is why I recommend only this book. As far as I can tell, it is intended to be the source to study for that test. One of the OTHER two books they recommend on their website actually says in the beginning -- [this book is not intended to be used for the PT cert because this book was written before we finished the guidelines for the PT cert]. I read that and thought "what a rip off!!" So why mention it in your website? To make more money on selling books? Perhaps to give certain students an extra study material? I'm not sure. But I can say in my situation, I was not that happy, I was trying to be streamlined in my efforts and cost to prepare for the exam. Buying this book alone would have been sufficient for ME. (as best I can tell) I wish I had taken the test already so I could put out some additional useful information on studying for this test. I am not sure, but to me it seemed that there was little useful information out there about EXACTLY what to study. I am an adult with a job and family and things to do, and I don't want to be trying to read a bunch of idiotic supplemental books for a bozo PT exam. Just tell me what to study, I'll study it, give you the money for the test, and take the test and pass it. Is that too much to ask? I guess so. Anyway, for you people in a similar situation to me. Get THIS book and don't waste money on the guidelines for exercise testing and prescription, or the certification review (unless you feel you need extra material).
As for this book, its pretty boring, pretty dumbed-down. But it is very encompassing, clear in presentation and teaches someone how to be a personal trainer. So for that, its pretty cool.

Summary: ACSM Resources for the Personal Trainer
Comment: This is a good overview of the basics involved with personal training. Gives a list of expected skills and knowledge required for getting certified as a personal trainer. I found it a very useful book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Heavy Lifting
Comment: Not a book that you will pick up to read unless you are taking exams or required reading as a student. I used it as a reference book mostly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thanks guys.
Comment: I got what I paid for and that makes me happy. My items arrived pretty much in the time frame promise and that makes me happy.

So, thanks guy. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Customer Rating:
Summary: excellent!
Comment: This book benefits a lot to the initial trainers who even have no idea of how to deal with the training. The book is both practical and praticable to the trainer's learning how to train others with his/her own training experience. Though there are not enough illustrations in the book, I still strongly recommend the book to beginning trainers.
