I began studying for my ACSM-CPT three months in advanced and at first didn’t buy any study tools. After doing more research I found trainer academy and bought the MVP package. I’m so happy I did, because i went into the test more than prepared!! I passed on my first try with a high score as well! Thank you!

This study guide is absolutely worth every penny you pay for. The mnemonic devices alone help engrave this information in an easy to remember way. The practice tests are very similar to the actual exam and are an excellent source of preparation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Negatives: I shelled out 300 bucks on a program that's bang average at best. The practice questions (PQs) are a not up to par, especially the ones for the P/A section. A lot of necessary content was excluded from those questions, like videos and images. The depth of the questions was inadequate. Additionally, some of the answers to questions weren't correct. The mnemonics are useless -- I dropped those after two weeks. Same goes for the audio guide, as it just repeats, word for word, the study guide Q/A. The cheat sheet was ok. Positives: The Q/A study guide is a nice way to cover the basics of what the exam entails, and that's it. The flashcards are great for definitions, and remembering important numbers. The S/F section of the PQs get 3/5; they almost adequately cover the required content for the exam. The blueprint is another plus, as it provides a guide to go by and modify along the way. Overall: I still feel like a three star rating is justified. For how much the program cost, it should offer a hell of a lot more! As a previous reviewer noted, it seems like just a quick profit scheme. You might as well build yourself your own 2-4 months study plan, with the DCO from NSCA and go 2-3 chapters a time. As well as finding better practice questions for review.

Working in the corporate line as the Head of Department and Team Lead during the pandemic does not provide me much time to study. It has been a hectic year and ACE CPT MVP Package has especially helped me during my last minute study and ultimately passing the text. I especially love the Study Guide, Flashcards and Mnemonics. The audio helps during my on the go study and quick revision. I also completed the Practise Test which helps me prompted me on a few quick revisions. Thank you so much for coming up with the pack and helping me pass the exam!
