Simply the Best, March 26, 2008
This review is from: NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training (Hardcover)
Although I miss the seven phase OPT model of old, the new paradigm has streamlined the structure to progress athletes through the process more efficiently. The illustrations are an upgrade, however there are fewer sample exercises to use. I recommend the NASM program to any serious trainer. This isn't "gym science"; everything in this book is based on years of research in human biomechanics, physiology, and kinesiology. The information you absorb from these pages will make you question why you ever relied on news stand fitness magazines for your workouts. NASM OPT training isn't a fad, a quick-fix, or a unrealistic promise. It is hard work and discipline that is highly effective for those that commit.
In addition to the text and CPT certification, continuing education courses and workshops will help you to truly understand the material with hands on demonstrations and professional instructors to answer your questions. Trainers get certified...real trainers get NASM certified.

This review is from: NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training (Hardcover)
a fantastic item! shipping was prompt, the text is presented in an easy-to-read style, and it's really helping me to prepare for the exam. I'd recommend it to any fitness professional, or just to anyone looking to find out more about their fitness routine.

Very applicable guide for PT, April 9, 2010
This review is from: NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training (Hardcover)
I've had many certifications in my career as a personal trainer. I found this and my Peak Pilates PPS1 training to be most helpful. This gives you a system you can use to train any client at any level safely and effectively.

Text Book PT, January 31, 2010
This review is from: NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training (Hardcover)
NASM's Personal Fitness Training is a well written easy to understand guide on Personal Training. In Australia it is a struggle to find good literature on this sort of stuff. Great book.

NASM essentials of personal fitness training, July 25, 2008
This review is from: NASM Essentials of Personal Fitness Training (Hardcover)
A new approach (little different compared with ACSM position) to fitness program design.
For example - in OPT model is power training. For the fitness client that's new recomendation.
