I had a great time finishing my PTS course with the group instructor, Tammy Dixon of Wellness Branded Education Team. The location of the training
at GoodLife Kennedy Lawrence was conducive for learning. Tammy has great personality and she knows well what she is teaching. I would highly recommend her for anyone planning to take the PTS course. Thanks again Tammy! :) All the best to you!

I would like to thank Steve, one of the most knowledge and professional instructors one could ever ask for. I took the personal training certification course and exam that was run by Steve. Throughout ever conversation we had, I would also be learning new information and methods that I wouldn't have learned otherwise from anyone else.

I recently attended a 3 day Personal Trainer Specialist training program this past weekend with one of the most knowledgeable/enthusiastic instructors I've ever had the pleasure of learning from, Mr. Daniel Smith from the Wellness Branded Education Team at the Mattamy Cycling Centre in Milton, Ontario. If you haven't attended this program with Mr. Daniel Smith, don't walk, RUN to get the BEST kick start in your career.

I took my in class PTS course with Daniel Smith & the Wellness Branded Team in Aurora and I must say at first reading the book and doing the online course had me a bit overwhelmed however when I arrived for the in person I was very relieved due to Daniels unique teaching style and energy in which he is able to deliver a lot of information in a short period of time and have it really sink in and build a solid foundation of knowledge.

10/10 Great Experience!!!

Thanks Daniel,

I just took part in this 3 day course and have to say was pleasantly surprised. It was very informative and hands on, focusing on the important aspects of personal training physically and mentally. I didn't realize how much I didn't know until taking this course and to be completely honest, I learned more in these 3 days than I did in a semester at school. Thank you Daniel Smith for your time.

I had such a wonderful experience with Pro Trainer Trevor Pickett while completing the Personal Training Specialist course. Despite the class being done virtually, it was incredibly hands-on and interactive. His presentation of the course material was engaging and very informative. Trevor takes a personal interest in every individual that takes his course and truly cares about your personal development as a trainer. He took the time to go over information that goes above and beyond the course content to ensure applicability and ultimately our success in the fitness industry. I was really nervous initially, but his kindness and sense of humour really made me feel welcome and I had an incredible experience overall! I would highly recommend doing your course with Trevor as he is such a passionate and knowledgeable resource. I look forward to further expanding my education and knowledge through his own personal company Off Beat Education and additional Canfitpro courses.

Thank you Trevor!

I had a great experience learning virtually with my trainer Trevor Pickett. I was worried that a virtual learning experience may be boring but Trevor ensured the course was both engaging and fun and I looked forward to it each day.

I recently took the PTS course taught by Eldon Uchida. He is by far one of the best teachers that I've ever had. He is very engaged and dedicated to his work and he always makes himself available to answer questions. He truly wants to see his students succeed and it's clear that he is very passionate about teaching. If you pay attention in class and read his notes thoroughly, you will pass the theory and practical exam.

I took both my PTS certification along with my CPR with David Robertson. I highly recommend requesting him to anyone interested in any course that he facilitates. His personality is incredible, he s easy to listen to and learn from and genuinely cares about his students interacting and understating all criteria. He will stay back to help you if there s anything you don t understand and he s overall an amazing teacher and personal trainer! I will be sticking with canfit pro for all of my needs as a fitness professional!

I took the Can Fit Pro course with Mike Kelly a few weekends ago. I found it very informative, and a excellent guide to what you will be tested on. Having a Kinesiology background, I found Mike went through the essentials towards personal training, and included many extra real life experience scenarios that will be very beneficial towards any future practice in the field of exercise sciences and working with people. He speaks very clearly, and provides great explanation and advice while encouraging questions. Thanks for the great weekend Mike. I look forward to continuing my education within the field.

Their customer service is joke. Ive passed my healthy eating and weight loss coach exam over 6months ago and im still not able to recieve the certification. They respond after a very long time and it seems like their employees dont even know what they are doing.
If you also care about recieving the certification not just learning the material then this is a complete waste of money and nerves

Great training with Mike Kelly from canfitpro! The PTS course he taught was informative, thorough, holistic, compassionate, yet cynical (just enough) when it came to certain fitness/health practices. He is a well educated trainer that practices exactly what he preaches. I would highly recommend reaching out to Mike if you would like to educate/assist yourself or others.

What a joke this is, such a scam, the cert you get here is b.s, they don't really teach you how to become a good personal trainer. The worst part is that being a personal trainer is a extremely low pay job and it's a sales jobs, meaning your income is based on how many clients you can get and the gym companies don't help at all, it feels like im just there to make the gym owners rich while they do nothing, honestly i feel scammed and cheated, don't take canfitpro, you can find cheaper certs online.

The personal training specialist course and pro trainer Dr. David Robertson provided clear direction and an abundance of knowledge. David was always available to answer any questions and provide support. I completed my exams during the pandemic and felt like Canfitpro and my trainer did a great job delivering the content in a new scenario. I also completed my CPR course with David who delivered the info efficiently. This was a great complement to my course.

I learned a lot from the course and training & I'm very happy that I got my certification (Theory 94.67% & Practical 95% exams) with Eldon's help, support & guidance. In fact, I always learn from the best!

Great course, great teacher!! On September 5, 7 & 8, 2019, I took the Personal Trainer course with Mike Kelly. I am writing to let you know how very pleased I am to have taken the course with him. Mike is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He always welcomes us to ask questions. He knows what is important for his learners and gives concrete examples of personal training (do and don't). He possesses really good industry knowledge and I recommend him highly and without reservation.

I took the canfitpro personal training course in February 2019 with PRO trainer Mike Kelly which prepared me to successfully pass both my theoretical and practical exams to become a certified personal trainer. The curriculum was very thorough and the course was well organized. I found Mike Kelly to be extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and motivational. If you're considering becoming a certified trainer, and increase your knowledge in the field of personal training, I highly recommend taking the canfitpro PT course with PRO trainer Mike Kelly.

Trevor Pickett is hands down my favorite CPR Course Instructor! I have taken a many CPR re-certification courses in my day, and he makes the material the least painless by far!

I would most definitely recommend Steve Lee to anyone considering taking the course!

I recently enrolled in the Fitness Instructor Certification with Canfitpro and have nothing but good things to say about my experience! Our instructor Stephanie Paolucci was extremely professional & offered a wealth of information and knowledge. I highly recommend her classes. Somehow Stephanie found a way to make topics which seemed overwhelming and "foreign" to me (such as Bio-genetics and Anatomy) fun and exciting to learn about. Her interactive teaching methods were well received by all members in our class. I enjoyed each and every day of our in class portion and wish it didn't have to end! 5 Stars!!! Looking forward to where this path will lead me even more now!

He was a phenomenal instructor with an incredible amount of real life experience to share with my peers and I. Steve was an excellent source of knowledge and went above and beyond my expectations! Adult learning is difficult in itself, however Steve was able to deliver the material in a way that each and every one of us understood. Thanks again Steve for an amazing weekend!

Fitness Instructor Specialist

Fitness Instructor Specialist
In February 2017, I took the Fitness Instructor Specialist Course in Ottawa with Eldon Uchida. Going into the course I was nervous as teaching fitness was not my background but a requirement for my new job. Eldon taught the course in manner that was engaging and informative. He highlighted all of the important information for us to focus on for our exams. With ample studio time the class was able to understand movement patterns and the importance of working with music. Eldon s teaching method lead me to success on both my Theory (97%) and Practical (90%) Exams. Eldon is extremely well versed in his field and is always open to helping his students succeed in completing their course.

Personal Training Specialist
In June 2017, I took the Personal Training Specialist Course in Ottawa with Eldon Uchida. I had previously taken the Fitness Instructor Course with him and was looking to gain more skills in the fitness field and naturally choose a course with him as the instructor. As expected, Eldon taught the course with ease, highlighting important information. I do not have a fitness background so technique and proper use of both machines and free weights was what I was worried about most. Eldon scheduled us with ample time in the gym to learn how each machine worked, where to stand while coaching a client, and how to go through a Personal Training Session. It is now September 2017, I have completed my Theory (96%) and Practical (97%) Exams. My first official client starts in October! Throughout this certification program Eldon was an e-mail or call away the entire time. I sent him multiple examples of client case studies to ensure that I was on the right track and understanding all of the concepts. As I learn and grow into the fitness field I know that I will be able to keep in touch with Eldon for professional advice as his goal is to see all of his students succeed. I would highly recommended Eldon as an instructor if you are looking to learn a lot, have fun doing it, and have guidance throughout the program.

Tammy is a natural teacher who quickly creates an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, providing feedback and participating in groups activities.
Thank you Tammy, for inspiring us to become effective healthy eating and weight loss coaches!

I am definitely disgusted with this company, they are a SCAM!!! and only want to take your MONEY. Not interested in giving you any refunds, I had a horrible experience with them and don t want anyone else to go through what I went through, my advice is to stay very clear of them!!!

CanFitPro is THE Canadian fitness certification; it's accepted practically everywhere in Canada. Although it can churn out some questionable trainers as it is a for profit business and can be done in a weekend, the flip side is it offers some very knowledgeable trainers an easy way to get insurance. Like every industry, even regulated ones, do your research in to the person because that is far far more important than the certifying body they have chosen.

If anyone is considering taking a course with CanFitPro please don't even hesitate and just do it! I just completed the FIS course with my Pro Trainer Penny Gousios, and she guided me through the whole thing from start to finish. Her teaching skills were by far the BEST and because of her I feel extremely confident to write my Theory exam. I'm so beyond thankful I got the opportunity to meet her.

I had such a great experience with my canfitpro trainer/educator Trevor Pickett. His teaching skills and his enthusiasm during the week gave us all a mindful insight on the material. His love for fitness doesn't go unnoticed. He is extremely informative and his course was structured very well. Thank you so much Trevor, I am already missing the jokes and laughter we had during the course. He is definitely going to be one of my mentors as I go through this fitness education journey of mine. I am so excited to check out the course he provides in his Offbeat Fitness Education which caters to trainers trying to build a skill set. All the best Trevor and I will be in touch!

I learned so much during my prep class for my exam. My pro coach David Robertson was amazing! He really made sure I understood everything and was always available for questions! Even now that I am working in the field I reach out to him all the time for advice! All the classes I've done with canfit have left me with a great understanding and amazing connections.

I am so happy I decided to take the in-person course. Our instructor Trevor Pickett was fantastic. He was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and really added context to the textbook material. I don't think I would've been able to gain the same understanding just studying on my own. It was a very positive and vibrant experience overall!

Tammy brought a great energy to the course and made the whole ten hour day very enjoyable. Even over Zoom I feel that we were all able to contribute to the conversations and have some excellent discussions. Highly recommend!
