I have read many of the ACSM textbooks and i have to admit this is one of the best. It provides many examples and the text is not as repetitive as the other ACSM books.
Don't expect to read through this text and be ready for the exam. There are many questions on the exam that are not covered in the book. I passed the test on my second try after reading the entire excruciatingly boring book twice. ACSM seems to be an extremely money-hungry organization, they want you to buy as many study materials as possible and they hope that you have to take the exam over and over before you pass. Also don't expect their philosophy on fitness to be useful for any individuals other than the elderly, the sedentary, or those with chronic conditions. None of their guidelines for exercise program design are suitable for athletes or those striving to become athletes.
Very thorough and detailed. All important aspects of being a fitness instructor are covered in depth. Well organized for study purposes
Better than expected. Pictured is the old edition, and I received the most current with the step on cover.
