What Our Education Clients Have to Say …
I just wanted to get in touch and let you know that I just got a job at a privately owned gym as a group fitness instructor! I have always loved the idea of group fitness and this is my dream job. I teach my first class tomorrow morning and I just wanted to email and say thank you as I feel like you taught me so much and this would not have been possible without the help of yourself and CANFITPRO. I am still very nervous but I know that once I get out there and start, I will be fine!
Heidi N
Taking my PTS course with Heather was an absolute joy! She helped make sense of the information in the textbook and linked the science to real life in a really fun way. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her!
