This was my first certification with Canfitpro and I had no idea how to navigate the entire process. Jodie was the best coach to take me from start to finish demonstrating the following qualities:

- having very positive attitude and always being very welcoming

- very respectful and professional

- detailed and timely communication

- making the class very engaging and being empathetic towards students that had some challenges in learning and interacting with others

- doing an amazing job in simplifying complex concepts for someone who doesn't have fitness background

- providing additional guidance to ensure we are prepared for both theory and practical exams

- sharing additional information for those who would like to learn further

- great time management

It was absolutely a pleasure to learn from Jodie's experiences. — Shirin Nasher, canfitpro PTS certified personal trainer

Thank you for everything you all did to help me obtain my Personal Training Specialist. I felt completely supported through the whole process. During the online course there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The three trainers all shared their contact information and encouraged us to reach out if we had questions. I did have some questions and received quick responses back.

I enjoyed the format of having the training over two weekends. Having the week in between gave me some time to focus on the information we learned in the first day and make some study notes for that section before moving on to the next sections in the following weekend. It also allowed some time to do the homework without feeling pressured to get it done right after a full day of training.

I felt really supported in preparing for the exams and knew what to expect. I am sure that I did so well because I was given clear instructions. Thank you Jodie, Eldridge and Karyn for everything! Woo hoo! I'm a certified PTS!!!!

Group fitness has always been my focus. It was my first love and what drew me to the industry but I am so glad I decided to finally take my PTS. I feel like I have additional knowledge now to support my group fitness students as well as take on some personal training. — Melanie Kidder, canfitpro PTS and FIS certified

I took the personal training specialist program with Jodie. I really enjoyed her course because she was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the course. I took my personal training course 10 years ago in Australia and decided I needed a refresher. I’m very glad I did because I learned so much more through this course than I did in my previous.

I am looking forward to taking more courses with Jodie as she is very helpful and thorough.

Thanks again Jodie for everything and all your help!

An hour of mentorship with Jodie left me feeling motivated, knowledgeable, and ready to get started on my new career. She helped me gain confidence by simplifying the process, and gave me lots of valuable points of connection to start with. This was an hour well spent! Thanks for your energy and compassionate way of educating, Jodie!!! — Rebecca Gilbertson, canfitpro PTS certified personal trainer

Having a break of nearly six months between my PTS course and exam made studying a daunting task. Jodie helped tremendously with getting me back on track and focusing on the important topics. Her comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter allowed us to maximize our time together. — Daniel Chadwick, canfitpro PTS personal trainer

Jodie gave excellent guidance in preparing for both the theory and practical components of the Personal Training Certification. I would recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a fitness professional.—Cory Fuller, canfitpro FIS and PTS certified

I have known Jodie for many years working for the same company at GYMVMT. I have always felt drawn to Jodie as a person and instructer as do many. I first met Jodie at the canfitpro seminars as a speaker and then on in other courses throughout the years. Most recently in the last 2 years at CPR courses.

I truly enjoy Jodie's CPR courses. I always appreciate her energy and enthusiasm when she teaches. She is personable, funny and interactive and can really tell she is happy to be there to teach. I love how she brings relatable events into her teachings. She is knowledgeable and always willing to answer our questions in a friendly and constructive manner.

I would highly recommend Jodie as an instructor in any setting. I have been to many others and I am always looking for Jodie as my instructor.

I took Jodie’s CanFit Pro PTS certification course in November 2020. It was a great experience! The 9 hour sessions on zoom were a bit much. Not because Jodie and her team didn’t make it interesting, but because 9 hours is a lot for me to pay attention to one thing. However I learned a lot and really appreciated her point of view and the way she related the material to real life. Due to life issues I was unable to take my exam until almost a year later. I was a nervous wreck trying to go over all the material! I also was never one to do well in written tests. I felt I knew the material but I was just lost! Luckily Jodie reached out and offered her tutoring services. Money well spent! She got me back on track and back in the right mind set. I felt so prepared I wish I could have done it a few weeks early, but scheduling made it difficult. Thank you so much Jodie! I couldn’t have done it without you!
