Well worth the money and time!! Easy to read and learn

Posted 8/3/09 by Kandy Gibson from Auburn, AL

GREAT!

Very thorough yet doesn't get bogged down with intricate details a GroupX instructor doesn't really need to know. Very affordable and easy to keep up.

Posted 8/29/09 by Catherine from Pinson, AL

Having been educated as a Doctor with 24 years experience in the fitness industry, I completely appreciate the focus of the Primary Group Fitness Instructor Manual. Instructors who take this information to heart and apply it to their classes will serve their participants well. And, after all, it's about the hearts of those whom we have been blessed to call participants and become friends.

I took the course online for group excersise certification. The information was in depth but to the point, as outline in the book. I recommend this program.

Posted 1/2/11 by Corina

Great Comprehensive Course-a joy to complete.

The preparation materials for this group exercise course are second to non. And the extra course certification books promote additional knowledge and increased interest in further certifications. A fantastic course!

Posted 1/4/11 by Shannon from Shaw AFB, SC

The material is presented excellently.

The material is presented excellently both in written form and on the DVD. The one thing I would add to the DVD is someone demonstrating some of the basic moves for those who are new to group teaching especially with the different types of hi-lo or specialty classes.

Posted 12/13/10 by Sheri from Chattanooga, TN

I loved the class, learned a great deal, and had fun!

Posted 1/9/11 by Jean Failmezger from Sumter, SC

Posted 9/14/11 by Jessie Ferguson from Charlotte, NC

Lots of info and thourough exam

I am always impressed with the text books and how the questions on the exams are to the point. Some companies are out to trick you. Fitour doesn't play games, they just get the job done - thanks! Group Exercise Certification was a great refresher for me being a personal trainer. It was quick and to the point. For those needing a first time exam, study and enjoy what you are taking in, you will need it in the future while you teach/instruct.

Group Training Certification is Excellent

I have been a group trainer for 30 years and still found this to be an excellent refresher/certification course. The study materials are also excellent reference materials for my fitness business.

This is an affordable Cert for already experienced instructors. Would make a great Grp X Cert for Zumba instructors who are well practiced and need to meet a gyms Nationally Rec. cert requirements.

book very detailed

Posted 2/20/12 by Amanda Palmer from loranger, LA

Very easy to follow

I am very satisfied with my results of taking my first certification with Fitour. They make it easy to follow, as little time consuming as possible. That is very important to me as a full time mom, having a full time and a part time job, as well as a wife!!! Thank you Fitour!!!

Posted 5/27/11 by Juanita Lopez from Cassville, MO

Easy!!

This course was very educational but easy to follow. Able to work at your own pace and take the test when you feel ready. The test follows your book from front to back. Like I said earlier, very easy to follow!!!

Posted 2/12/12 by Amanda from taylorsville, KY

This was surprisingly fun and informative!

I have taught fitness classes for 18.5 years, but I haven't recertified in several years because our gym doesn't require it. I took this because I felt the need personally to brush up on things. I wondered if it would be another lame course like I've taken from other companies in the past, but it wasn't! I found the DVD instructor to be professional and knowledgeable. It was an enjoyable study / review. The only thing I would suggest is to have a note or something that indicates that the book and the DVD are to be used together right away. Maybe it is obvious to some, but it wasnt obvious to me right away.

Great way to become a Certify Group Instructor
