ACSM exam is not worth the effort

Well I've talked to a few people who are majors in exercise science and they have failed the ACSM test. They told me the books are basically 2-3 years worth of college courses. Since it's not going to be my career I really don't see a point in studying for 6 months to make money that could be made more easily.

You're right there is easier money elsewhere

ACSM is definitely not an entry level cert. If you are not pursuing a career as a personal trainer then there is no point to getting ACSM certified. But if you really love being a personal trainer and want to be the best trainer possible, ACSM truly is the gold standard.

The process is to first buy the books online. Then Study, and when you feel ready sign up through the online site (Pearson Vue)where they will give you numerous testing sites in your area.
