This well-worn copy of the “Weightroom Resistance Training Certification Study Guide” offers a glimpse into the early days of the modern fitness industry. Published by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), a pioneering organization in the field of group exercise certification, this guide was likely used by countless aspiring fitness professionals in the late 20th century. While the cover shows signs of heavy use, the clean pages and sturdy binding suggest this copy was well-loved by its previous owner, perhaps a dedicated student or instructor.
The AFAA’s emphasis on resistance training reflects the growing popularity of weightlifting and strength conditioning in the 1980s and 1990s, as the fitness world moved beyond aerobics and began embracing a more well-rounded approach to physical fitness. This guide would have been an essential resource for those seeking AFAA certification, providing a comprehensive overview of resistance training principles, exercise techniques, and program design.
