Taking the ACSM class really prepared me in knowledge and confidence to take the exam. I found the instructors to be very helpful in that they provided real-life examples and hands-on demonstrations to present the material in a fun and memorable way. Because there is so much information in the book, it was great to have a general overview of everything during the class in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend anyone to take this class, even if you are unsure about becoming a Certified Personal Trainer. By attending this class, I feel better prepared to discuss exercise with my patients as well as incorporate this knowledge into my own workouts. ~ Ashley, VB
