CanFit Pro Review

I really enjoyed this course! Being a mom of three and a business owner of 2, it was super convenient to fit into my busy schedule. Eldon is an excellent teacher and was always very quick to respond to all of my question.
I highly recommend this program!

As a 25 year veteran of the movement industry, and a proud PRO TRAINER for 11 years....I have enjoyed watching the evolution of canfitpro. They try new things, different ideas, take care of their staff and take the feedback to heart. I know my work is appreciated.

Challenges lately with the new system upgrade was funky- but we worked through it.

We are a foundation based program, with a gazillion cec's , online options, updates and help get motivated people started on their path.

I teach in Muskoka at a brand new gym and excited to be a host facility.

I am a clinical psychologist who has taken my share of training and knowledge based courses over the years. For me, the non-negotiables of a good trainer/practitioner is the mastery of his trade, modeling good leadership, exciting and motivating his students, making complex concepts easy to understand and facilitating the development of his students' knowledge. Eldon exceeded my expectations on all of the above characteristics as part of who he is, as opposed to simply being an instructor. He is authentically dedicated to the furthering of the profession as well as furthering the aspirations of his students. I was able to call or email him directly about questions I had about the materials. He returned the emails every night. This was enormously helpful to me especially during exam studying. Every once in a while one gets to meet an instructor like Eldon; an amazing instructor, practitioner and individual. CanPro is very fortunate to have someone like Eldon as a resource. Dr. Carey Stevens

"For anyone who is looking to become a Personal Trainer, I would recommend taking the PTS class with Eldon. I have been exercising and reading about fitness and health for about 10 years now. And I can say that I was very impressed with the knowledge that Eldon has and how the class was taught. I learned more than I was expecting. Not just about fitness, but he also helps you understand the clients better so that you can then train them better. I am really glad that I took this class and I would recommend it to anyone." Jacques Bernier

"My experience with the canfitpro Personal Training Specialist course was nothing short of incredible . Eldon was a spectacular instructor! I felt more than well prepared for my exam by the end of the course. Eldon's professionalism while teaching gave me the knowledge and confidence to succeed. His willingness to go the extra mile to help his students fully understand the material was refreshing and appreciated ." Julia Maddalena

The 3 days course will sum up all the important information of the book and the online course. I had Eldon Uchida as my Pro Trainer. He is a great guy who guided us step by step through the course. He made sure we grasp all the necessary information either for the theoretical or the practical exam. He gave us so many tips about how to launch our fitness career as personal trainers. What I liked the most were the dynamic workouts that Eldon taught us to perform. Totally recommend taking the course with him!!

This past weekend I took the personal training specialist course with Pro trainer Mike Kelly. Mike was a great teacher and gave lots of insight into the personal training industry. He was also very knowledgeable, but took the time to make his points clear and concise.

I recently completed the online PTS course with Trevor Pickett and it was such a great experience having him as my teacher. I really like how he makes the course material really easy to understand. I also enjoyed how hands on, fun and engaging his teaching style is. It's not hard to tell how passionate he is about teaching and supporting his students. I struggle with anxiety and sometimes I let my nerves get the best of me and he has been so amazing and supportive. Even after I completed the course he has taken time out of his personal schedule with helping me prepare for my exam. If you're thinking about doing the PTS online course and you are looking for a great teacher I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TREVOR!!!

I'm excited to complete my certification and I can't thank you enough Trevor for all your help and support! Lisa :)

I just completed the PTS course with Mike Kelly over the weekend. Mike is a first class trainer who really knows his stuff and is truly interested in helping people become knowledgeable, safe trainers. The course was dynamic and fun. I would definitely recommend Mike Kelly for the PTS course and very glad that I took it.

I took the course with Tammy she is a good Pro trainer and a great person... happy to have her as my trainer.

CPR course in Edmonton with Ron McPhee...I did my CPR re-certs with Ron for the last 3-4 years and actually really enjoyed the course! With his ENERGETIC enthusiasm and ability to relate the info to real-life scenarios, Ron actually makes some otherwise dry-material fun :) I moved out of province this year and actually missed Ron's fun way of teaching when I did my re-cert---the course I attended seemed a lot longer and less interesting.....

Tammy Slauenwhite was very positive and knowledgeable in Healthy Eating & Weight Loss Coaching in Fort McMurray today.

I recently completed the Canfit Pro PT Certification with Tammy Dixon at the Pickering Goodlife. It was a great experience. Tammy is very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure you are good and ready for your exams. Thank you Tammy!

I took the PTS class with David Robertson. It was an absolutely awesome class. Took the time to explain all the components covered on the exam as well as other points that trainers should just generally know. He stayed over time to make sure we all understood the concepts. You can tell that he is very passionate about what he does. He allowed us to watch a few practical tests he had booked prior to the start of the class which I found very helpful. Would highly recommend his course to anyone looking for an instructor who goes above and beyond.

I had the pleasure of having Mike Kelly as my virtual teacher for the Personal Training Specialist course. At first I was nervous because it s online and I feel I m a more hands on learner. Mike explained everything he was attentive and never hesitated to answer any questions or re explain a concept you might not have understood. Mike was professional, very knowledgeable and personable. I m glad I had him as my teacher it was an awesome class. If you re hesitant about joining because it s virtual like I was, don t be. You re in great hands with Mike Kelly. Good luck future personal trainers.

Big shout out to Daniel Smith, founder of Only The Strong, who I must say did a 5 star job of conducting my PTS course this weekend. I am feeling grateful to have been a part of this group in training. Daniel's knowledge and teaching methods were fun and very interactive. His expertise and experience in the field made this weekend a memorable one!

A fun and informative experience! I hope to never have to use my skills......but I feel very prepared to use my CPR knowledge if the situation ever occurs!

I completed my Personal Trainer certification last Fall with Dave Robertson and was so impressed with the depth and scope of the material and teaching methods. Dave had such a unique way of teaching that made brand new information stick and still one year later I am finding his teachings very easy to draw on in practice. Could not recommend his course enough!

I did the CPR/AED/EFA recertification course with Louise Vigneault and she was fantastic! So knowledgeable, easy to understand and had a great sense of humour! The course was a very practical, hands on course with real life scenarios that is super practical for our learning. I will see you next year Louise!!

Great experience with the Wellness Branded Education Team this weekend. Daniel Smith is an excellent pro trainer and did a fantastic job presenting the course material in a fun, enthusiastic and engaging way. I would recommend his services to others for sure!

Canfit Pro is one of the most incredible institutions to educate yourself in the world of fitness!! Took the PTS class with Dave Robertson! Wow!!! Dave is someone who not only has the patience to teach but highly knowledgeable in the industry! He has an amazing approach and makes one have a clear understanding of the materials! Took the CPR class with Ashley Gray! So impressed with her teaching and her knowledge! Was extremely lucky to have 2 incredible people lead me in the direction of my fitness career!!! Thank you!!!

Just did CPR with Pro Trainer Trevor Pickett of CanFitPro, July 2919, great Instructor! Gave clear instructions, made sure we all had a chance to practice several times to be sure the CPR info stuck in our heads...and he was fun! :)

Disappointed in that I can't access my account (says I don't exist) to print off my certificate and the none of the websites emails work as well as any phone number. Customer service therefore = 0. I will change this rating once my case has been dealt with.

Thank you onlythestrong and wellness branded education team for putting this program together! My pro trainer Daniel Smith was extremely knowledgeable, super fun and equally professional! I m sure I can speak on behalf of us all when I say that Daniel had no trouble making the past 3 days enjoyable, kept us all engaged and had no hesitation guiding us individually when necessary. This is only the beginning of my journey towards becoming a PTS and I m so grateful to have experienced learning it from one of the bests!

I had the pleasure of taking the PTS course with Dave Robertson, and even did the CPR course with him as well. I have never met someone with such a wealth of knowledge who is so willing to share it. The course material is intensive and he was extremely patient and thorough in his explanations to ensure that I had a full understanding of every concept. You can tell he takes the responsibility seriously of educating professionals to enter the fitness industry. Dave also helped me through an injury post taking the course. He really is an amazing guy, an experienced and knowledgeable teacher and a mentor who I now aspire to be like. I highly recommend taking his PTS course if you want the best experience!

I took the canfit class with David Robertson and had a great experience. Very interactive and engaging. Would recommend his class. He explained what chapters we should focus on studying for the exam which was very helpful. Knowledgeable teacher and made the class go by very quickly.

I had a very positive experience with CanFitPro (Toronto) in getting certified as a Personal Training Specialist. In particular my Pro Trainer, Anastasiya Maryukova, was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process, and continues to be a great resource as I launch my career.

I received my canfit certification under the teaching of David Robertson in the Toronto area. It was a great course and David is definitely one of the most experienced and committed trainers around. He is very focused on helping others achieve their goals and makes the learning experience a lot of fun!! Connect with hih on ig: @drdrobs

I had Steve Lee from GoodLife Fitness Northridge teach the canfitpro PT course and it was one of the most fun and informative classes I've been a part of. Steve not only explains the information, theories and concepts that are part of the canfitpro program, he shows it to you in intricate detail. Having everyone participate and engage in the whole learning process really helped a visual learner like myself.

I ve completed my 3 day personal trainer course in Fort McMurray Alberta at the Keyano Collage. Tammy Slauenwhite taught it so well! Great enthusiasm, very intelligent, experienced in different fields, and a very nice smile! I am ready to move forward into the next step of becoming a personal trainer. Exam day in 3 weeks!! Lets get it

-Daniel Piticariu

Just finished my Personal Traning Certification course with Tammy Slauenwhite over Zoom. She has such a great energy and made time fly by every time we all got together!

DO NOT waste your time with Canfit. It s obviously everyone s first option when doing a PT certification given that it s cheap and easy. But they re going to make you pay for additional fees to access copies of your cert, etc... it s completely bureaucratic. Wait times on the phone also completely ridiculous. Worst company I ve ever given my money to. I won t be doing my recertification with them and I HIGHLY recommend you look elsewhere.

The course was amazing !! Our Pro Trainer Daniel was super knowledgeable and his passion your fitness and health was obvious! he made the weekend fun while also throwing as much knowledge as possible at us! A must !!!

I complete the course with Trevor Pickett and the course was well worth it. I learned a lot and couldn't ask for a better experience and teacher!

I recently took canfitpro s Fascia , Movement and Assessments course, which I have to say, was great, covering a lot of interesting and useful information. Mike Kelly, the PRO TRAINER, did a great job to make the material easy to understand, also adding in some of his own experiences, using good analogies. Although there was some theory, the bulk of the course was very hands-on, with many postural assessment tools and associated exercises. It will definitely make me a more knowledgeable and better-informed trainer to further help my many clients. I highly recommend this course.

Fascia, Movement and Assessment with Mike Kelly was very interactive and practical. Thinking about lines, slings and looking at clients as a whole when assessing and treating will be very helpful. I would have appreciated more examples.

I took PTS course recently with Steve Lee at goodlife northridge. The class is absolutely awesome, Steve is so nice and helpful to everyone. My English is not good, but he explains things in detail, and very understandable, so i can get them all. He also helped me to create a periodization plan, which is important and helpful. Thank you Steve .

Thank you Daniel Smith for teaching a wonderful course! The Wellness Branded Education Team and onlythestrong have helped me develop into a better trainer and better person. It was a pleasure working with such passionate & professional individuals!

I just completed CPR C and AED with Tammy Slauenwhite in Fort McMurray AB. Awesome course! She was very knowledgable, engaging and the best part....fun! The best CPR course I have ever taken!

Mike Kelly was our pro trainer for the Personal Trainer Specialist (PTS) course. He is a great source of knowledge! He is very engaging and keep things interesting. He is very clear with his instructions and lets you know exactly what he's looking for in order to earn your certs and be a proficient personal trainer. He obviously loves what he does and it shows.

As with any course, there is only so much you can go over in such a short time. I would suggest getting through some of the text book prior to going to the course so you can get even more out of it.

Thank you, Mike!

Great hands on learning with knowledgeable professionals. Course was taken with Steve Lee at the Northridge Goodlife.

I did my Personal Training Specialist course with Trevor Pickett at Anytime Fitness, Yonge St. It has been one of my best professional learning experiences. Trevor is an excellent PRO Trainer. He used various modalities to help us learn the content - not only to prepare us for the exam but also to equip us with practical knowledge and inspire us as we move forward with our respective endeavours in the fitness industry. Thank you canfitpro for ensuring quality of professional development.

Instructor Steve Lee was very kind and shared his great knowledge with us. I appreciated the content and dynamic that Steve Lee practiced. Our course was at Goodlife Fitness 5650 Yonge St. Thank you CanFitPro for help me and introduce me in this industry that I love.

Eldon Uchida is a great instructor! The information and tips he gives out to this students reflect very well the course load and exams. He is always there if we have any question and will do anything to help his students pass!

I completed the Personal Training Specialist course with Tammy Dixon as my trainer through The Wellness Branded Education Team at the Goodlife Fitness Liverpool Pickering location. Thoroughly satisfied with what I learned and how the information was applied. Taking the course with no fitness background besides being addicted to the gym I was worried I may have taken on to much but I was wrong, i feel a lot more comfortable about continuing my path to become a confident personal trainer!

I just finished the first online PTS course and wanted to say thank you to Louise and Amanda and the wonderful people at canfitpro for adapting this program for these crazy times. Louise and Amanda are a wealth of information and I am so grateful to have them as my mentors. While I am sure the in-person class would have been very different, I don't feel as though I missed out on anything and I was still able to meet some incredible people that I hope to work along side in the future. Highly recommended this course to anyone looking to get into the fitness industry.

Your site seems to be missing the link to renew membership. Help, I only have 20 days left.

A really professionally presented course!
Daniel Smith and the Wellness branded education team were extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly engaging throughout. I really enjoyed the course in Aurora and I left enthused and wanting to learn more.
Dan was able to answer any questions and a variety of information regarding mobility, aches, pains and imbalances directly to a variety of us in the class.

Thanks for the great course Dan! 10/10!

Review on personal trainer class good life, 7 station, Toronto, Canada, from April 12-14.
Instructor Daniel Smith
I really enjoy the class, I learned a lot but also had fun doing it. Daniel Smith probably one the best coach/instructor I had.
Some I would refer to you would be my sister cause she been put in the effort to make fitness lifestyle.

Poorly, poorly run. You defer an exam, pay the fee, and it's impossible to have them properly put you in a next one yet you paid an admin charge for the deferral, so your file is incomplete. You email, no response, over and over. Oh but they're on top of sending you advertisements and taking your membership fee.

Took the personal training specialist course with Tammy Slauenwhite in Fort McMurray. Had so much fun in her class and learned lots! She s the best :)

Trevor was a wonderful instructor, the course was well executed and I was able to better understand core groups that will be on the exam. Thank you!

I took the Canfit Pro course at Goodlife on Wellington West in Toronto a couple weeks back. Our instructor was Trevor Pickett.....he was amazing! From the time we walked in the room he was engaging, informative, enthusiastic and entertaining. He made 3 days fly by and filled our minds with valuable information. Well done Trevor and well done Canfit for hiring him.

I am very happy I decided to take this course. I had heard mixed reviews about canfit and I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. The location was at 5650 Younge Street. Steve Lee is a true professional who goes above and beyond teaching the course basics. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and this translates into a very high quality learning experience. It was very refreshing to have an instructor with a wide range of fitness knowledge who could answer any question asked. I would recommend this course highly to anyone who is looking to become a fitness professional and especially Steve!

I took the Personal Training course with Steve Lee at North York GoodLife. It was an amazing experience and I learned so much. We had in-class learning and hands on experience in a gym environment. Not only did I learn so much and prepared for my exam but Steve also helped me with chronic pain that was affecting my own personal workouts. I would highly recommend Steve Lee as a teacher and a personal trainer!

Trevor Pickett was my Fitness Instructor during an intense 3-day learning experience. His professionalism and how he structured the course was very informative. His sense of humour and analogies used from his practices made the material retainable. The only downside was being limited to several days of memories and experiences that would never fade.

I learned so much from David Robertson. You d be lucky to have him. Very patient and very passionate. In such a short amount of time I ve gathered more than enough to propel me into this highly competitive industry

I decided to take this course again (last time was maybe 10 years ago...Im not sure) and this time I had Trevor Pickett as my Pro Trainer and omg he was awesome!!! Explains the course in ways that's easy to understand! He kept us moving, interactive, was relatable and patient. Funny as well!!! Really cares about us learning the content genuinely vs just for the passing grade. I couldn't have asked for better. I learnt much more this time around w his teaching strategies then before. I'm so impressed w his professionalism and experience within the industry!!! Awesome experience!!

I just wanted to say thank you so much to David Robertson. The CPR & AED training was wicked, despite my initial thoughts that it was going to be so dry and dreadful. He made the class fun while still teaching me what I needed to know. He clarified all the questions I had and really helped me with any possible worries I could of had. I feel way more confident, God forbid anything were to ever happen. Thanks again David!

Took personal training specialist course in Fort Mcmurray with Tammy Slauenwhite and was a great experience

Had a great day of learning at the FMA Course with Trevor this past weekend!

Excellent course! Our instructor Daniel is very knowledgeable about what he is teaching. He made the course interesting and much easier to study.
Thanks for Wellness Branded Education Team. I took the course at Milton/Mattamy Cycling Centre. I would highly recommend his course if you are interested becoming a Personal Trainer.

A great company to be certified with for almost 2 decades. Always progressive, always providing incredible conferences across the country. I've been a pro trainer with canfitpro since 2009 and am so proud to teach PTS, FIS, HWL and CPR to motivated participants who want Canada and beyond to be healthier and stronger. The staff at the office are helpful, supportive, enthusiastic as hell and walk the walk. Even if you do not certify with them, the Toronto conference in August is the world's LARGEST fitness summit. You just got to go!

Coming into this course, I had no idea what to look forward to. Once meeting our instructor Steve Lee at the GoodLife Northridge location, I was more than happy to be receptive to everything he had to say. Never in my life have I've been so happy to realize that I don't know a damn thing about personal training. After the 3 day course I feel inspired to learn more, and that's priceless. Once again it's Steve Lee at the GoodLife Northridge location. Prepare to be inspired.
