ACSM Certified Professionals

Benefits of ACSM Credentialing

ACSM credentials are recognized as the Gold Standard throughout the United States and around the world. By obtaining an ACSM certification, your employer knows that you have passed the most rigorous and up-to-date health/fitness and clinical certification(s) that exist. There are many benefits to being ACSM certified/registered.

  • Employers prefer ACSM certified/registered employees because this ensures a higher standard of knowledge and better and safer service to clients.
  • An ACSM credentialed individual is capable of working with both apparently healthy clients and clients with chronic diseases and disabilities.
  • ACSM credentials offer a quality of care that today's society demands.

Certified News

Now that you are certified/registered by ACSM, you have access to ACSM's Certified News, a quarterly publication with up to date information in the health and wellness and clinical fields. Within this newsletter, you will find articles written by experts along with educational opportunities to further your knowledge.  Earn 4 ACSM CECs per issue.   View recent issues.
