Rating:  - the book for ACSM's Personal Trainer certification
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.

Rating:  - ACSM Resources for the Personal Trainer
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.
Rating:  - Heavy Lifting
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.
Rating: - Thanks guys.
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.
Rating: - excellent!
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.
