Hello, I was just surfing around the site looking about what people had to say about the ACSM- HFS and CPT and wanted to see what others have to say about it.
I am a NSCA-CSCS and believe its one of the best in the business, but I have no other tests/certification to compare it to? ( I may be a little bias ) and I agree it is a "Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist" so it does concentrate on working with athletes! (Strength, Power, Speed, Agility, Plyo work...etc) so you must know a ton more than just what muscles vs. exercises...etc
The thing is I am looking to add another good certification to help me more with the general population, and maybe post rehabilitation (for the injured athletes) and was thinking about sitting for the ACSM-Certified Personal Trainer or the ACSM-Health Fitness Specialist, not really sure what one, but was leaning towards the “Health Fitness Specialist”, its looks a little more in-depth? Nothing against the CPT, but it seems basic??
SO, question for JP (or anyone that may have an option about this) why not the ACSM and if so, wich one would be best....or others??
