The canfitpro Personal Training Specialist course was a much needed step not only to improve my fitness career but to improve my personal life. I now make better choices daily mainly because this course has taught mes WHY they are good choices. I wish I had taken this course earlier! Thank you canfitpro team!

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT CANFITPRO?

I had my Fitness Instructor Specialist certification for a while. I wanted to update my skill set with Personal Training but was afraid of the science, as I lack that background. My PRO TRAINER made it super fun and approachable! I am so glad I took the course! I am also impressed with the way he taught on ZOOM and used breakout rooms to keep our interest while learning! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Karina M.

I originally took the course for personal knowledge and gains, but taking this canfitpro PTS course ignited the passion in me to become a trainer for others.

Sarah Shaw

The Pro Trainer was excellent and the canfitpro course has given me all the knowledge and tools to become a qualified Personal Fitness Trainer. I feel confident and I am excited to share my knowledge with others and help them in their fitness journey!

The canfitpro PTS course was a welcoming environment and encouraged us to explore our passion for fitness and health. Michelle, our trainer, delivered the material in a manner which was applicable and motivating.  I feel empowered and excited to begin my canfitpro journey.
