I can't seem to get a call back for over a week now. The website is under construction, phone lines are down and no one is responding to my emails.

So far I am completely frustrated dealing with this company. They don't pick up the phone especially when you have an issue. They are not quick to respond back again when there is an issue.
When I registered for a course I had to book my exam date which I didn't want to do at the time of the phone call because I didn't know my schedule. Just over a week after booking the exam date I needed change it, they are quick to respond that you need to pay extra $$.
I DID NOT ENJOY DEALING WITH THEM NOR WOULD I BE COMING BACK. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL OR SERVICE FRIENDLY.

I just finished the group fitness instructor specialist course in Fort McMurray with PRO TRAINER Tammy Slauenwhite. I cannot say enough good things about the course content and her instructor abilities. The course was very engaging and her delivery of the theory and practical was excellent. There was a great mixture of theory and practical practise. The were great group discussions and knowledge obtained. Tammy is very knowledgeable in the fitness industry and her delivery of the material was top notch. I would recommend to anyone looking and will be back again :)

I took the Personal Training Specialist program with Trevor Pickett (Offbeat Fitness Education). He made the experience fun and educational. I highly recommend this program and having Trevor as your teacher! He is very experienced and was able to explain the concepts extremely well! I was always looking forward to the next day of classes!
I would definitely take another course with him!

Thank you again for everything!!

The online course I took with Trevor was fantastic! All of the material translated very well to an online format and the course was very hands on and engaging. Trevor is an excellent teacher who easily caters to any learning style and his knowledge and passion for the subject matter is inspiring. Definitely recommend Canfitpro!

I took my PTS with David Robertson who is one of the nicest and most patient people you will ever meet. His teaching style and overall passion for the course was incredible to see. He was very interactive, walked us through each chapter and answered ANY and ALL questions. He had slides and demonstrated scenarios several times throughout the class.
During my practical exam he made sure I was using all the proper techniques and skills taught during the course. He was quick to correct by emphasizing the importance of specific movements in order to avoid injury or harm to a client. He taught me several tips on handling new clients and ways on keeping them engaged. At the end of the course he gave his contact information and instructed us to call/email if we ever had any questions in the future. I would recommend taking his PTS or any other courses Dave is teaching. Thanks Dave!

I just wrapped the class portion of the HWL course with Tammy Slauenwhite. I have nothing but good things to say. Tammy made the best of the COVID-19 situation, the ZOOM sessions were fun, informative and Tammy has an incredible positive energy! I'm confident that with her as a mentor that all of us in the class will be able to ace the exam.

I had the pleasure of having Trevor Pickett as my Pro Trainer for the PTS Course. Trevor was an ABSOLUTE joy to have as my mentor/teacher.
He kept things extremely interesting all while having the best time.

I had received my textbook a few days before the course started, and
I went through it all, I was petrified with what was to come lol. It all seemed so confusing and very technical, but as soon as the online mentoring started, Trevor kept it practical, simple, and SO easy to learn.

I truly enjoyed every second of this course and learned a great deal. Alot of questions were asked during the online mentoring, and Trevor answered every one with a smile on his face and as thorough as possible.

I would recommend Trevor as a mentor/teacher a gazillion times over. He well exceeded my expectations of what a Pro Trainer should be! So thank you Trevor for everything you've taught me and everything you brought to this course! I am forever thankful!

I just completed my Fitness Instructor Specialist course with PRO TRAINER Beth Oldfield & I'm so grateful for how rewarding the experience was. Not only did I learn so much, but it was so nice to see how passionate she is about what she does & how much room there is for growth in the fitness industry. We did the course at Beth's home studio (but she will also be offering a course in Pointe-Claire), which was great because I got a lot of hands-on practice - name the equipment & she's got it! She's knowledgeable, fun, engaging & inspires & motivates me to strive to be the best trainer I can be.

I would like to give a huge thank you to Trevor Pickett who was my pro trainer instructor a couple months ago. He made the virtual classes very exciting and fun while covering all the content.

Just finished the Personal Training course with Steve and it was great. There was a good mix of theory and practical. More time was spent on the practical, hands on learning which helped reinforce the theory. He also ensured that he was referencing the terms, so that also helped with helping solidify the theory without sitting all the time in the classroom. Excellent. Thanks again!

Had a wonderful experience earning my PTS certification recently with Steve Lee. I found the experience incredibly enjoyable, and managed to learn a lot from him (as he stayed behind after the theory test to answer questions I had regarding a recent shoulder injury I suffered). Overall I was very impressed with the level of professionalism I experienced, and would highly recommend the PTS certification course to anyone interested!

I have taken in class 3 day course over the weekend and completed it back in the february with the instructor Steve Lee from Wellness Branded Educational Team. The course took place at Northridge Goodlife location ( Younge and Finch area ) in Toronto. Steve took a group of 4 participants through the course material with such a breadth of understanding and deep knowledge. He is an educator in a true sense of the word. Steve has a vast knowledge of fitness and health. His professionalism and knowledge of the fitness made everyone feel welcome. The combination of hands on and theory gave a more complete understanding of the course material. I would recommend and advise everyone who would like to take a course for PTS with canfitpro to take it with Steve Lee because they will not be disappointed.

I just finished taking the online personal trainer specialist course with Mike Kelly and it was great. Mike tells you what's going to be on both the theory exam and the practical exam in a concise clear way. I definitely learned a lot not just in learning how to become a personal trainer but in fitness as a whole. I would definitely recommend taking the online course with Mike and to even hire him as a personal trainer in the future.

Call or Email Ariella Tsafatinos!! She was my Pro Trainer for my practical exam. She made me feel calm and comfortable for the exam process and when it was all done, we had an extended chat afterwards where she gave me LOTS of useful feedback.
I'm confident she set me up for success!!
Set up your practical exam with Ariella at FitnessWorks For Women if you need Pro Trainer in Toronto. The environment there helped take the edge off the stress of doing an exam ;)

I took the personal training course with Eldon. Eldon made sure throughout the course and the prep for my exams that I was ready. Eldon takes the time to review your work and provide feedback and what to expect in the personal training world. He engages his students to learn and to have hands on experience during the course. For those looking to learn and have a great time all together, I definitely recommend attending Eldon's class.

I took the CanfitPro PTS course with Daniel Smith of the Wellness Branded Education Team at the Milton Cycling Centre this past weekend. He is an incredible instructor with fantastic charisma that thoroughly engaged the entire class throughout the weekend. Daniel's ability to explain theory in a multitude of ways to ensure each participant understood what was going on was excellent. Daniel's confidence is inspiring and encouraging. I look forward to hearing and learning more from him as his career in fitness continues to grow.

CanFitPro deserves 0 star for the VERY poor service they offer. This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with in my entire life.

I have been trying to talk to a supervisor for more than a month about a refund situation (multiple calls, multiple emails) and their policy is to have their receptionists filter all the calls so they do not have to deal with anything or anyone. No one ever calls you back. To make it easier they pretend all supervisors are in a meeting or that they don't have any number to put you through. So they either have a LOT of disappointed members and they don't want to solve problems OR they are just unable to do their job properly, making CanFitPro look like an unreliable company. I don't even know which one is worse.



I would NEVER recommend that company and I will be calling everyday until someone has the decency to do their job and give some explanations. What a shame !

AVOID !

The personal training certification at Canfitpro was incredibly fun and interesting. What made the experience for me was having the right pro trainer. Trevor Pickett was knowledgable in his craft but made the course interesting and most of all, fun. He was readily available for any questions you had, even on off hours through email. He was happy to help us achieve our goals. I think the quote that would best describe Trevor is that he truly does want "the student to become the teacher". I've had my share of teachers that teach but never fully give everything they have. Trevor Pickett gives you no such feeling. He is down to earth, speaks with humility and confidence, and teaches you what you need to know and more. Also, he was able to see a squat imbalance of mine through a zoom session! Which I thought was pretty awesome. If you are available to take one of his courses, I recommend!

I can't lie. I was not a big fan of the online course...which I did in preparation of the in class stuff. I had gone in expecting more of the same.

But I couldn't have been more wrong. Daniel was the best instructor. Like, he had the EXACT impact I want to have on future clients. Informed, enthusiastic, and imbued with you with a sense that success was inevitable if you put in the work. Great class. Period.

TIM BOYLE forgot to put through my refund and I incurred additional interest charges on my credit card. POORLY RUN OPERATION!!!

I got my Personal Trainer Certification with CANFITPRO through pro trainer Eldon Uchida in Ottawa. I have nothing but positive things to say about Eldon and his team of trainers. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have all the information you need to become the best trainer you can be. Their belief in their students to succeed is contagious and motivates you to learn proper techniques for training and coaching in a way that is beneficial to you and your future clients. CANFITPRO send you reminders well in advance to keep your credentials up to date and ensuring that you are always developing as a trainer. They are also well recognized throughout Canada which is important when obtaining insurance.

I just completed the in class 3 day training with Daniel Smith from The Wellness Brand Educational Team. The course took place in Aurora. Daniel took the group of 14 participants through the course material with such a breadth of understanding and a deep knowledge. He is an educator in the true sense of the word, engageing all in the group with leadership, and energy with a consideration of learning styles. His inclusive nature made all feel welcome and accountable. The combination of hands on and theory gave a more complete understanding of the required material. This course could have been a couple of days longer to absorb more material. Overall, a good way to spend a long weekend.

Trainer: Tammy
Organization Name: Wellness Branded Education Team
Location: GoodLife Pickering Liverpool

Learning all about my brachii-what and femoris-who was definitely daunting, overwhelming and a bit scary...all on day 1. Tammy did a phenomenal job with providing myself and the class with the information at a rate that allowed the nubies like myself a chance to grasp and learn the info all the way to the individuals who are scholastically trained.

in addition, her attention to detail and willingness to challenge the class further exemplifies the commitment me to succeed in my pending PTS exam.

Thanks Tammy again for the dedication and knowledge you've bestowed on me...and by default my family too!

The Canfitpro personal training course is a fully loaded weekend of information, text book, handouts, and hands on experience! I was extremely impressed with Daniel Smith, our instructor of Wellness Branded Education. He is professional yet adds his own personality to address each part of the course ensuring that the entire class is present . The location was great for me, it was held at the Mattamy Cycling Centre in Milton (which was only a 7 min drive). Although I read the course textbook prior to the course, the amount of information it contained was stretching it far by covering it in 3 days. I do feel that this course should be 5 days as it was fast paced and at times, hard to keep up. Due to the time constraint, breaks were minimal and I would ve enjoyed some class work either outside or even just for a stretch. It s imperative that you are on time always so that you don t miss any info or keep the rest of the class from starting late. Our class, however, had a wide range of people, different ages and backgrounds who bonded very well and each person not only participated but brought their own knowledge to help others. We plan to hold a group study before the exam (I feel this in itself shows the camaraderie formed in a short time frame).

Overall, I felt a little overwhelmed with all the information, however, learning is non-stop and the knowledge obtained was immeasurable! I am thankful to Canfitpro and Daniel for the added knowledge to my life, inspiring me to spread this knowledge to others, as clients, as friends, family and public in general

I just finished my PT certification with Eldon Uchida in Ottawa. I have been around the health and wellness industry for about 15 years and this certification with Canfitpro is my second. Eldon invests in his students success. His knowledge of the industry and of the course materials were evident throughout the course. I am very grateful that Eldon was my teacher and I feel well prepared and supported to move into my position as a personal trainer. Feedback about suitable employment opportunities that match students level/abilities as a trainer has been very helpful. I would highly recommend Eldon without hesitation to anyone looking to take the PT certification.

Yes! I finally took the course and it was worth it. I took the course located at Goodlife (Kennedy and Lawerence) with Tammy Dixon organized by Wellness Branded Education Team. One of the good tips is that they got free parking :)
Tammy is great PTS pro trainer with respect and great energy to inspire. She s great listener and love to hear different professional backgrounds opinions and knowledge to share with the class. Also, as the class size is small, we can get more details. As she is willing to teach you, don t hesitate to ask any question as she will be there to make sure you understand clearly

I took the Canfitpro "Personal Trainer Specialist" course at Algonquin college on November 17-19, 2017. The two and a half day course was informative and enjoyable. The instructor, Eldon Uchida, was an excellent teacher He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and he genuinely wants you to pass. While Eldon provides you with a road map for success, the responsibility lies with the student to put in the effort and to carry out the necessary studying. There is a lot of material to cover.
I successfully wrote the three hour theory exam on December 17, 2017. It is part multiple choice and part case study. The next step was the practical exam, which I recently completed on January 25, 2018.
The practical exam was challenging and I learned a lot. Throughout the exam, Eldon took many photos with his I-phone and provided constructive feedback. There is nothing like immediate feedback for learning.
All in all, I would highly recommend this course. It is a great starting base of knowledge and a first step into the fitness industry.

He kept the 3 day course very interesting and was fully engaged with all the class participants for the entire 3 days. There wasn t a moment where his training delivery wasn t on point. I learned so much, he made the material very practical and easy to understand. I feel very well prepared to write the theory exam and take the practical exam as well. Thank you Daniel!!

My trainer was Trevor Pickett and I cannot say enough good things about his teaching. Highly informative, engaged, kept the long days flying by with humour, a lot of energy and solid movement breaks.

I completed the online PTS course with Trevor Pickett. Even though the course had to be held online, he was extremely outgoing and put a lot of effort into making the course fun and interactive. Also took the time to always check up on every person/group to see if we had any questions and is always willing to help. 100% recommend

I had the pleasure of having Daniel Smith of onlythestrongINC and founder of the Wellness Branded Education Team teach me this weekend for my CanFitPro Personal Training Course. Daniel does what many teachers strive for: making learning fun, informative, and inquisitive. While teaching my fellow students and I, Daniel would never fail to get a smile out of us, while at the same time make us want to learn even more. I can personally say that Daniel has managed to make me even more interested in the various aspects of personal training, and the positive mindset he shares about bringing the best part of fitness to everyone.
