Program Design for Personal Trainers: Bridging Theory into Application

Very good book, very informative. Reading this book helped me understand energy systems better, so I can design programs considering how energy systems work.

Reading this book I was surprised at how much alike it is to a a regular textbook issued for exercise science majors and/or personal trainers. Its not a substitute, but it does get straight to the point on many exercise related topics covered in the classroom.For example reading about muscle fibers, it gives a written description and a shortened tabled info, along with a quick index too.

I like what I received but this book deals with being a personal trainer after you are either working in it or already at the point of being certified. A lot of what is in this book is already covered in Brooks text book.

Good information for obtaining the best from a serious fitness plan. Great for understanding the biology behind your work out plans.Highly recommended.

A "must have" for every professional. Describes with very scientific way all the ways of personal training. As about exercise with clients it's one of the best. Cannot explain much about the whole bussiness but it's excellent for the programming and helping your clients achieve their goals safe.

Too academic. The title is misleading, as it is almost all theory and goes over so many things we already knew. Not much, if anything new or revolutionary here.

A great book to help identify specific points of study. A great way for someone interested in how exercise works for different individuals.

Misleading title and description, a lot of theory, not much practice. No different than the text books issued by every personal trainer certification body.

A must read book for PTs.

The book was ok but I was expecting it to be more practice based rather than theory.

this was just way over my head and not for a beginner like me. I have another year to study and hopefully it will come in handy next year. but not this year...

Just what I expected. Quick dispatch arrived within couple days of order. Happy buyer and at a really good price
