A couple weeks back I told you that I had ordered Assess & Correct by Mike Robertson, Eric Cressey, and Bill Hartman. Well, I’m not going to go into extensive detail yet (I have a more detailed review coming), but I am going to say this…BUY IT.
It is quite literally a brilliant summary of many things that took me years to learn and tons of other stuff I didn’t already know. I guess that’s what happens when you put three super smart guys together on a project.
There are something like 27 assessments that you can easily perform on yourself and 78 corresponding exercises you can use to correct any issues you identify. Frankly, I don’t give my endorsement to many products and I only recommend the best (trust me, I see a lot of them). This is one product that gets a big thumbs up from me. Mad props to Mike, Eric, and Bill.
If you’re interested, you can check it out HERE.
Mark,
While not battery of assessment tests will ever be truly 100 percent complete and a trainer should always continue to learn new things and add to his arsenal, how far do you think this product would take a new trainer along the continuum of ability to assess clients?
I recognize this would only be a very rough percentage, but I am just curious (I already purchased the product, so I am sold on its value) how far a highly-skilled trainer capable of top assessments like you thinks this would be able to take many other trainers.

Personally I’ve waded through many textbooks and had many years of discussions with colleagues to learn what I know. I believe that having the knowledge and experience of THREE people distilled into a single product would be of great value to a new trainer. Although I think it is important to always continue learning, owning a product like this would save a young trainer many years of trial and error.
I actually bought this myself because even though I’ve read and learned a lot, there is always something more to learn. More importantly, even if you’ve read the same resources it is still likely that others will integrate them differently into their own programming and have different solutions for the same problems.
Is the product going to make you a newer trainer instant million dollar superstar? Probably not. Is the product going to give you a leg up on the competition? You’re damn right it is.
