ACSM Workshops

ACSM Workshops are an excellent way to prepare for the certification exams or gain continuing education credits.  A balance of educational lectures and hands-on practicum experience are essential tools for learning the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required to become an ACSM Certified Professional.  Additionally, the interactive and hands-on environment is ideal for exam preparation.

The landscape of the health/fitness and clinical industry is ever changing.  ACSM Workshops are also a great way to brush up on your knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) and earn CECs for certification renewal.

ACSM offers the following workshops:

• Certified Personal Trainer
• Certified Health Fitness Specialist
• Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist
• Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist
• Weight Management for the Fitness Professional Earn 7 ACSM CECs!
• Business Management for the Fitness Professional Earn 7 ACSM CECs, .7 ACE CECs!

Workshops are not a prerequisite for certification.  Workshop hours are determined by each site.  You do not need to have a current CPR certification to participate in the workshop.
