Anyone with a current and recognized Fitness Instructor or Personal Trainer certification can add Can-Fit-Pro certification to their list of credentials. The process is simple. Complete the Certification Request application form, attach and send us a photocopy of your current certification(s) and your current CPR (within one year of issue date), include the one-time Certification Fee for the Non-Member Rate of $178 + applicable tax (membership fee included in non-member rate) or the Professional Member Rate of $119 + applicable tax (currently a Can-Fit-Pro Professional Member).

What are the Outstanding Benefits of Certification with Can-Fit-Pro?

• Save hundreds of dollars during your career! No recertification fees! Once you are certified with us, all you have to do is to keep your membership current ($69 + applicable tax for new members and $49 + applicable tax for membership renewals), earn 4.0 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) per discipline, and provide us with a current copy of your CPR (within one year of issue date) each year.

• Can-Fit-Pro CEC tracking service – let us take the work out of tracking your CECs! If you are Can-Fit-Pro certified, we will keep track of your CECs when you attend any Can-Fit-Pro event (conferences, certain workshops). When it is time to recertify, we will send you a letter stating the number of CECs you have on record. If you have enough CECs, all you need to do is send in a copy of your current CPR (within one year of issue date) and make sure your membership is up to date!

• Recognized across Canada and internationally! Pay no transfer fees or complete more exams if you move between provinces!

• Combined membership and certification expiration date – Can-Fit-Pro keeps things simple for you by awarding you one annual renewal date for your membership and certification(s). (Regardless of how many certifications you hold.) So that you can renew everything once a year in a fast and efficient manner.

• Easy access to CECs – Can-Fit-Pro hosts more fitness workshops and conferences in more cities across Canada than any other organization. From St. John’s, Newfoundland to Vancouver, British Columbia, we offer workshops that are accessible, affordable, educational and entertaining!

• Excellent customer service from a fully staffed department – our Certification Department is open year round with phone access 10 hours a day Monday – Friday including a toll free number and on-line registration to meet your needs.

There is strength and security in numbers. We have issued over 10,000 certifications and are continuing to offer new programs. If you have any questions about our certification program, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-667-5622 x 224 / 232.
