Esta, I haven't sat for the GEI exam but have written and passed four ACSM certifications. I found that the resources they provide as well as the webinars to be very helpful. Here are the performance domains they suggest you focus on for the exam.

PERFORMANCE DOMAINS*:



• Domain I: Participant and Program Assessment – 10%

• Domain II: Class Design – 25%

• Domain III: Leadership and Instruction – 55%

• Domain IV: Legal and Professional Responsibilities – 10%

Hope this is helpful to you.

Thanks Joanne. I already mailed ACSM, I'm waiting for their reply. But I may have to do the webinar. Though I'm already studying the recommended manuals for the exam.

Hi Esta,
I am the editor for the upcoming ACSMs Resource Manual for the Group Exercise Instructor. The best resources to study for exam at this time are the webinar and listed resources (until this ACSM manual is completed). Make sure you have the JTAs which should download from the website. Give a shout if you have nay other questions. Happy to help you.
