Even if you are not ACSM certified or if you are certified under a different organization, ( I am certified under ACTION and NPTI) The primary ACSM study kit is an excellent reference to the practice of personal training, professional guidelines, and exercise science. The study materials are all VERY detailed oriented which serves great if you are a technical personal trainer.

ACSM also provides a bookstore with deeper discussions on exercise science, professional standards for the fitness pro, business and career development, strength and conditioning training, and clinical guidelines to health screening and program design to name some key subjects.
