Unbeatable Value!
This pilates course provides very detailed information and is a fraction of the cost of the others.
Great Format
I enjoyed taking the exam online after the workshop, because there isn't so much pressure during the actual learning process. So you can relax and learn the info without stressing about taking a test at the end of the day.
Excellent Cert
Great manual, easy to review and take exam. Would recommend to everyone!
Highly Reccommended
I have practiced and studies Pilates for years. This course is a great comprehense training that will give you a firm foundation in all things Pilates.
Great value very detailed!!!
great experience!
Could progress within my own schedule
I thought the manual and video were thorough.
I loved it!!
it´s very professional and complete, I recommend it to every kind of people!! really great!! :D
Great workship, great instructor. I learned and enjoyed the workship from the begining until the end, great experience ever.Thanks
Excellent
I just want to thank Fitout and Jeanine Chamberlain for begin an excellent instructor, we needs more certitifcations in the Stuart/Port St.Lucie areas.
Fantastic manual
Full of valuable informataion. Love the ease of the in-home study option.
The information on the CD and in the manual were great.
The details and explanations given on the CD workshop and in the manual made taking the test very easy. Thanks.
Excellent Educational Tool!
It was so detailed and very educating. I have been doing Pilates for years and it wasn't until I took this course that I realized I wasn't doing Pilates to its full potential. I love it!
Feel like I've learned quite a bit
As a novice, I feel very well informed by this beginner instructor program. I plan on getting the rest of the Pilates certifications in the near future.
Professional, Detailed, and extremely usefull!
Inspirational, Humbling, Empowering, Eudcational
What an empowering process to experience the Pilates Mat Cert Course. Jennifer S. mastered our classroom with poise, intelligence, strength and wisdom. A great mix of classmates included college athletes, second career choice moms and mature women. Missouri State U hosted a great workout room for class. Passed test with flying colors. A few questions were ambiguous compared to the manual. I think better questions could be asked of certain topics to better test knowledge.
Excellent program.
Thank you for offering this excellent certification program in Primary Mat Pilates. I will share this program with all friends/family members who are looking for an affordable/effective way to become certified. I am so greatful. Thank you.
Definitely worth the investment
This certification course is not only inexpensive, but gives you all you need to start instructing as soon as you are finished.
It was great! And allowed me to take in my own time frame, thank FiTOUR!
Very informative
A lot of information in the study material, well laid-out; and I loved the DVD
Fast, affordable, and convenient
The education is complete and allows you to become a competent instructor in your area of interest. Highly recommended!
Great to re-certify with Primary Pilates again
I really like to keep up to date with my fitness certifications through Fitour. Great job making other quality certifications affordable yet current with ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) guidelines.
I feel confident that I have the knowledge to put together a good Pilates mat class. Thank you!
Loved this Primary Pilates Certification
Great certification. I have spent many years doing all levels of Pilates, but this certification is still one of the best. Great source of info in DVD and workbook, too. Thank you.
Well Worth It!
The book was great.. Just covered what you needed to know! The test followed the book and was great to take on-line! Very pleased! Thank you!
Enjoyed course and it didn't take too long
I've been doing Pilates for years, but still learned some interesting things in this course. The video was nicely done, and the book was good too. A very good value!
the test was alot harder then I thought it would be!!!
I was very easy to complete.
Challenging & Valuable
great!!!!
EXCELLENT PROGRAM-THANK YOU!!!
Comprehensive review with DVD and book that provides the student ample material in order to pass the test and obtain the basic knowledge needed to teach the practice safely.The 3 hr test allotment gives you enough time to complete the 100 question exam.The poses and descriptions of pilates moves were excellent descriptives with clear and concise pictures.Thanks for a wonderful program which helps those of us who have small children and find it difficult to travel great distances for certification. Most sincerely,Laura Cava Bridgeport,WV
Excellent program!!!
I learned so much from this program and the test is reasonable, not tricky!
My dvd stopped working the 2nd time I tried to reveiw
Suzi McKee is very knowledgable and an inspiration in fitness! Her certifications have been very useful and very well taught.
Really enjoyed the course.
Would be helpful to have a "set routine" to follow on the video. Something to get me started in instructing.
Easy to follow instructions esp. with DVD
Great
Fitour gives you all the information you need and gives you the price to practice in the fitness field.
THIS IS THE WAY TO FULLY UNDERSTAND PILATES!!
This was my first FiTOUR certification course (in-home). It was absolutely wonderful and the DVD is explains and demonstrates EVERY position/move in detail!! I loved this method of certification!! I did really well on the exam too!! Carol Ann is FABULOUS as a facilitator!! Next...my primary yoga certification!!!
It was good.
A great preparation for the test
I thought this was a very well done certification, I hope that that in the future you can have the instructor repeat some of the questions from the participants because I couldn't hear what they said and all she said was "good question" having no idea what her answer meant.
Melinda does a wonderful job of instructing , teaching
Very thorough info for instructor w/ beginner students
Video
The video was useful; was able to practice moves
Pretty comprehensive
I love the detailed exercises in the manual, but there are a lot of typos that made it a little difficult to read through.
a very good curriculum
Good, knowledgeable instructor.Made group comfortable.
For those without fitness background more focus on what certain muscle groups are and why we do certain moves/exercise would be helpful. Regarding test, would like to know what I missed since wording/phrasing of question can be misleading and not exactly how stated in trng material.

(17 customer reviews)
Very informative workshop! Presenter was great!
Fantastic program! Convenient! Fast
Great program - I was able to gain my certification easily and inexpensively. There are so many over priced certification programs out there thank you FiTour for being reasonable priced!
fun learning detailed info-great prestenter
The instructor in the dvd was excellent. I learned alot. Both the book and the dvd will be used as an on-going reference for me. Thanks so much!
Wonderful website and very good info!
Test was wonderful and I love the ease of taking them!
Study Material Included!
This is an advanced pilates course that includes the study material free with registration. I have not seen a value like this anywhere.
It was great to go back and study it all over again.
The video and book were very helpful and informative.
Thanks for offering this on-line course. I've enjoyed the entire process and look forward to taking more certifications from you in this manner. I appreciate the available classes you offer and the on-line option is fantastic!
Advanced Pilates Great Certification
Although I do have experience with Mat and Ring Pilates, this was an excellent and very extensive refresher. Materials are super for reference, and the test definitely challenged me. Thank you.
Great In-Home service! Will definitely use Fitour again!
the dvd is so helpful! just using it as a review tool is awesome. I really appreciate you letting me take this exam after the little fiasco with the course i signed up for.Thank you for your quick response and allowing me to take the test for free, that was really nice. this was very informative & helpful. thanks
great addition to the primary pilates certification
It was okay
Gained a lot of knowledge through the Advanced Pilates.
Dolly Stokes did an excellent job presenting the Pilates Advanced Certification workshop. She provided insight & useful information that was not included in the manual or DVD. I felt extremely prepared for the written examination following the workshop.
Good review
The review on the study materials DVD is good in general, although there are some tricky words in the on-line examation, e.g. "strengthen", not "strech." I am glad I spent over 10 hours to review study materials before taking the examination. I am also glad to pass high scores 95 first time without retaking it.
Group Exercise Certification

Great practical applications
Finally a certification that not only goes into theory, but shows a lot of practical applications and sample classes!
Great quality, information and price! loved it.
YOU GUYS ROCKED IN EXERCISES CERTIFICATIONS, THANK YOU!
I definitely recommend this course for any person looking for a way to continue their passion while still tending to a busy lifestyle.
Well worth the money and time!! Easy to read and learn
Very comprehensive
The Group Fitness on-line certification course was very well organized and comprehensive
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.
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.
Very informative!!
Instructor was extremely knowledgable and motiving!!!
Carol Ann did a GREAT job at LDM&F in Tampa!
Carol Ann did a fantastic job covering A LOT of material, from nutrition to choreographing to kineseology in a very efficient way. The class included a lot of demonstrations of exercises, ranging from Circuit Training to Aerobics! I highly recommend this certification class!
Easy and affordable.
I am spreading the word about this. I highly recommend this to any instructors or instructors to be. Very affordable and easy, take the certification on your own time at your own place. Thanks Fitour!
i really enjoyed taking the test.It was great

Better than AFAA
Covered more material pertinant to Group X instructors!
Yay! so excited to get teaching!
The study material and supplies are awesome and thorough. Test is exactly what I expected and they give plenty of time.
easy A, great format!
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.
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!
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.
I loved the class, learned a great deal, and had fun!
This course was great. My instructor Deirdre was very knowledgable in all fields and gave us new ideas to take to our classes. I would recommend this certification if you are looking to get into Group Exercise.
Easy to Learn -
This was great - book was easy to follow, I learned so much and I appreciate the opportunity to do it on-line. Thank you!
Lots of information to use from now on!
Thank you for the all inclusive group exercise class. This is truly a general knowledge course that will get anyone ready for group teaching.
Great place to start.
This class builds a great foundation for teaching! The instructor Tracy was great and has an unbelievable amount of experience.
Love the DVD that comes with the book!
I love the DVD that comes with the book! It totally walks you through the manual step by step and points out the important things to remember. I love doing this from home as well.
as a previous certified instructor this was GREAT
affordable for me to renew!
AWESOME
This was awesome, very thorough in the video and booklet. Thank you so very much!
I am so glad I took this certification class and exam!
I enjoyed learning and reveiwing and taking this class from my own home. It made it easy, but at the same time exciting and full of knowledge.
Quick, Concise and Easy Certification
Everything about this certification was great! I will definitely be using you guys for all of my certifications!!!
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.
Great, informative way to enter the futness industry!
This certification program is a great value for the information that you receive. The on-line, home option is a great choice for anyone ready to pursue the fitness industry. Thank you Fitour!
fun!
I really enjoyed this class! It gave me a wonderful foundation to teach, motivate and insure safety of the students.
Great online certification program
Comprehensive, and easy to understand! Thank you!
Very nice course. Gives good information with easy to read layout in manual. I was able to complete this course in about 2 weeks doing a chapter or two in the evenings.
NICE AND EASY
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.
Super way to study and take the exam.
The study material and exam was thorough and comprehensive. Taking the test online was a huge help.
Great testing experience
FITOUR makes it very clear and easy to become certified in Group fitness. I really enjoyed the material and process of getting my certification.
Great for Experienced Instructors
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.
Great class
Great teaching format and well worth the investment. Thanks FiTour
GREAT PROGRAM!
Great program! Wonderful Information. Easy to follow! Thank you FiTour!
book very detailed
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!!!
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!!!
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
This is the best way to learn and become certify as a Group Instructor. Very few people have time to attend a workshop. Online courses allowed busy working professionals to continue their education. Thanks
Real Easy, Real Fast
Took the certification to see if I could recommend to my employees and I found it is good way to obtain additional training for their careers in fitness
learned a lot
ENJOYED TAKING THE TEST. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
This was very informative, and the book will assist me in better teaching my classes. I learned alot by reading the material, and can use the materials to do a better job at teaching.
professional and to the point
Wonderful info for new instuctors !
After teaching for 23 years, this certification is very refreshing as it covers all aspects of what every instructor should know and be made aware of. What a great reference tool and no CECS!!! In this economy it was nice to get my money's worth and still have a great reference tool handy
Sweet overview of material!
watch out for the test question wording!
easy exam if you have any type of medical background
...fun and worth your time
GREAT AND THOROUGH!
GREAT AND THOROUGH!
good stuff!
Great course!!
Great for instructors on the go!
I teach five classes a week at a local gym. I am also the mother of two. The Fitour exams made it easy, quick, and effective for me to stay current with my Group Ex Certification. The exam was thorough and fulfilling, while also quick and to the point. Great way to stay up on the latest fitness certs!!!!
Great correlation between test and study materials!!!
I learned a lot.
great
the test was very informative and easy to follow
Suzi McKee was my instructor and did a great job!
OUSTANDING!
Thank you so much great program!
Very easy to navigate and understand the exam
Really great,the DVD seemed slow, but it helped everything come together and sink in!!! Thank you, hope this catches on even more, so more people can get certified!
Other than the delay in receiving the exam for my Group Exercise Certification ( Indoor Cycling Cert. went smoothly from beginning to end), Fitour continues to be an amazing way to obtain fitness certifications at very reasonable rates. Their books are informative and the ability to take the exam in the comfort of your own home, in your own time are priceless. Thank you for being there for us Fitour!
Great Class
Great way to get started
The material was concise and stressed safety and effectiveness. Easy to retain and use. Trainer was excellent and motivated with a smile.
thorough yet precise
This is my initial certification and the test was thorough yet precise.
trick question on 97 otherwise excelent test!!!
very comprehensive and convenient
Learned a lot! Great!
book and test were easy to follow along with
Thank you for providing an in-home certification.
The video accompanying the study book was really good. I didn't look at the video until after going thru the book and answering the review questions. Should have done it the other way around. Thank you for an in-home opportunity to recertify. Beverly Maciaz
The DVD had useful tips, and the site was easy to use.
Quick and helpful for those with already busy lifestyle
The online certification was a great way to get certified for some one like me with a busy lifestyle, who has been taking classes for years.
An excellent way to receive your Group Exercise certification! Being able to study at home at my own pace before taking the exam really helped me to absorb all of the necessary information with greater accuracy. Thanks FiTour!
Wonderful!
The Group X certification was a really great experience! Jen was very knowledgeable, fun & helpful. I really enjoyed the group I was with & the entire experience. I'm anxious to begin my fitness career & look forward to more certifications. Thanks, FiTOUR! :-)
Jen Smith was a great instructor to have at the workshop. I enjoyed the workshop format especially the aerobic class part of it. She is extremely good at what she does and very motivating!
Wonderful!
I thought the certification was great! The class was vert informative and I feel like I am now set up for success! My only complaint was the time it took for me to receice my study guide.
Instruction book was thorough and complete
Instruction book was easy to understand with explanation of the various 'Exercise Modalities' clear and complete. The instruction book combined with the 1 day class was excellent.
Great
Very informative and very easy to access. I was very nervous but the whole thing was explained and I was walked thru and done very smoothly. I will definately be coming back here to futher my education.
Thank you for on line training!!!!
Great study materials
Great course!
Workshop was fun. Textbook was nicely layed out. Good experience! Thank you!
Great class with a lot of great material.
Another easy read
book and dvd very helpful!!
great
very informative instruction clear and precise not over-burdening
Thank you!!!
I must say that this has been a great affordable certificate option. Lets see if I can get a job now...LOL!
Manual and Vidoe very informative and easy to follow.
Very easy to follow! Great information!
The workshop attended on December the 18th was GREAT!
I really enjoyed the class and the individual teaching the class was so imformative. I am going to tell so many people about FiTour courses.
Great Info that was informative & well-written
The DVD and the Handbook really prepared you for the exam. The more I read, the more I could associate what Ive been doing in my classes to what I read. Thanks
Awesome Workshop!
I just completed my group certification with Jeanine in PSL, FL and I have to say it was Awesome. I'd definitely recommend my friends to take her if they were going to get group certified or any other certification needed! She was great! Thanks Jeanine for helping me out!
Glad I completed the Group Exercise certification
Learned a lot! Great!
Primary Group Exercise Certification
Information was very helpful and the Certification and Exam was less stressful. However, I am looking forward taking the next Certification and Exam on Core & Functional Fitness Certification with FiTOUR. Thanks
nice easy
study my profesion
I thought the test would be stressful, but it was not!
I thought this was going to be a difficult test and it was not at all. I studied a lot and knew the answers right away! It took less than an hour to complete all 100 questions!
It was educational and very helpful.
I realize I have good instructors who did all the things we were taught to do but I didn't realize I am supposed to do these things when I am an instructor. Now I do and I will be as great as my instructors were.
Very Educational & Efficient
This is a very educational program with comprehensive components. Would recommend it to everyone.
Quality Content!
I've been certified by numerous organizations and enjoy the convenience of FiTour's programs and CEC's
Instructor
The Instructor, Darcie Adams was amazing! She took the time to go over things I had questions on and was very calming during the practical exam. I recommend her to do more Certifications for FiTour
good class!
Good class. had a great inst.!!!
I enjoyed taking the test but some of the questions were not available for me in your book. I wasn't sure were to reasearch the answer. I also listened to the dvd and she did not say anything either on some questions I missed. I am not a very good test taker but all questions on the test should be in located in the book for definitive answers thankyou
great for basic group x learning.
I was very happy with how user friendly everything is and I like how you get a DVD to help you as well, however, I was not happy with how long it took for my study guides to get to me. Aparently they were backordered and I was never told,
Rhonda was AWESOME!!!
I enjoyed this class. It was great to do this on my time and speed. Very informative!!! Would recommend!! Thanks FITOUR!!
Great test, very easy to take!
Typo
Thank you for making such an easy to follow program to allow me supplemental certification to go along with my ZUMBA licenses. I did want to mention that the answer on Question #46 of the FiTOUR® Primary Group Exercise Certification is "Ture" instead of "True". Thanks again, I will be getting more FiTour certifications in the future. :)
very thorough
Basics
The group exercise certification is a very basic study IF you have already studied fitness. If you haven't it is good beginning and the affordability is perfect for a beginning fitness professional. Reading the book first and then watching the DVD for review really helped instill the knowledge
great training format
Makes learning valuble & obtainable its a great way to enhance ones career
More physical instruction
Most of class was spent on book work for exam, then a work out of participants but there was little instruction on how to do the classroom stuff and how to do chorerography
Convenient
This was a nice convenient way to get certified. Howver, I don't completely agree with the answer to the diabetes questions I missed. The correct answer was Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. However, Type 1 is inadequate insulin and Type 2 is resistance to insulin so I don't think that was the correct answer to the question.
easy, did on my own time! great for bust people!
I feel prepared to get started.
I felt that going to the workshop was most beneficial. It needed to be an hour longer so I could practice more. The specific feedback and marketing strategies were worth the drive.
Very Easy!
I have a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and I currently teach exercise classes. All I did was answer the review questions in the book and I passed with flying colors! Super easy!
Organized and Informative
This product was really good. I learned a lot and found out many issues about illnesses that I would not have ever thought to be a problem. I am glad I used Fitour as my training. If ever I need to look back on my lessons, I have a book to keep and keep the information fresh in my mind.
Its no treaky questions there makes easy to understand
great
Kickbox Certification

(26 customer reviews)
Very easy to pick up on!
After a woman becomes a mom it seems like we loose a lot of brain cells. So I was nervous taking this certification because I didn't think my brain would be able to pick up and retain the information. Fitour is such a great program and it's so quick and easy. I can't wait to get more certifications!
love this company!
i loved the book and the dvd, both were easy to follow and i will be able to reference and use examples from them for the rest of my kickboxing instructing career!
Fabulous way to get certified, and continue my education. Thank you so much for a great program !
I appreciated the thorough, detailed DVD and workbook. The practice exam really helped. The price is just right! Thank you.
great way to start your certification...
i feel honored to have started this way and am looking forward to bettering my skills and talents as an instructor!
dvd was very practical. book was informative
great program! will definitely consider taking more courses through this track.
good details in an easy format. Affordable
Love it!
The material provided was so easy to understand, I really liked the review questions after each section, it really helped me retain the information. Testing information was easy to understand and grade shows immediately.
THIS IS MY THIRD FITOUR CERTIFICATION!
I LOVER FITOUR CERTIFICATIONS! This is my third certification with FiTOUR and it was so easy to grasp the concepts. Dolly was a great facilitator. The BEST thing about FiTOUR certs is that you have the DVD to reference!!
Excellent!
I have done three of your certifications now and found each and every one to be equally informative.The information provided was clear and concise.The pictures were very helpful as were your indications for execution of movement and contraindications.I thank you for providing this on line certification for those of us who find it difficult to travel for certification.I plan on adding to my repertoire of certifications through FiTOUR in the near future.thank you so much!
challenging and motivational for our programs/projects
Excellent program, very detailed and thorough.
This was my first Fitour certification class. I have been teaching kickboxing for half a year, and the basic cert. was still informative to a fairly new instructor. I was impressed with the level of professionalism and willingness to teach. I look forward to getting my master trainer cert one day
Great Intro to Kickboxing...
This course was detailed in it's explanation of the different movements in group kickboxing and it had some black & white photos, but it left me wanting more! I really wish it came with a dvd to SHOW you how to execute each movement properly. That would really help beginner instructors. Also, much of the information in this course was the exact same info that is in the FiTOUR Primary Group Exercise Certification. Do both courses and you'll only have half of the reading to do! Since I was already familiar with group kickboxing, this was the perfect course for me.
Great class that is affordable and convenient
This was a great class that was convenient to do at home and affordable. The only thing I wish there was a video that demonstrated a kickboxing class or at least the choreography.
I liked it very much, very easy to understand
My only wish is that a DVD with actual instructor , would have been provided. I did the group instructor and personal trainer, and got a lot out of actually seeing the instructor .
Good information, good questions on exam.
awesome
I wish the DVD had demonstrations of every stance and position in the book.
Great experience with hands on learning!
very informative
Was a very diverse class, just wish there was a better way to review the text other that lecture.
Thorough, detailed, practical and assessible.
All the tools were provided. The video doesn't look like it was produced in Hollywood, but it did the trick. All the right and helpful information was conveyed in the written material and brought to life on the DVD with a great example class too. Though why didn't it have any music to it?!

Very high quality for such an affordable cost!
Lita Pepion from CRL is an awesome trainer!
THE BEST
THANKS TO FITOUR I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN MY PERSONAL TRAINER CERTIFICATION. I LOVE THAT IS A NATIONAL RECOGNIZED AND INEXPENSIVE. THANKS
vary well explained prgram
I liked that they had a DVD, to go along with the book. It was like you were really in a class setting. The teacher did a good job of explaining things in a short and undertsandable manor.
Has Helped me improve my PT skills.
It was very easy and fun to learn!
Easy DVD to follow along to.
I liked the ability to study the material at my pace and also follow along with the DVD. My only recommendation would be to include maybe a sample first time with a client to get a sense of what it would really be like.
Best program for Primary Personal Training
This program that was designed to teach (the basics of primary personal training) was by far the best and most helpful
I love FITOUR!!!!!!
This is really fantastic. I Love the dvd classes. It's like you are following a live class. Great! You directly ask a question, but that isn't necessary. Everything is very clear.
Instructor did an excellent job preparing us.
The instructor knew her stuff and did an excellent job preparing us to suceed on the exam. The course easy to understand and explained the material in depth.
Great study guide
After many years in the fitness world i have learned more with Fitour than i have with more renowned companies.The book was very detailed yet very easy to study.

After reviewing the DVD and Study Manual, I found myself very prepared for the test! The In-Home Course was GREAT for someone who is experienced in training!
Great Material
They really used this book in a way that I could 100% understand the meaning and understanding of the things I was to learn and study! GREAT GREAT BOOK and Study Material as well as test! THANK YOU
Excellent!
This is the start of my 29th year as a Certified Personal Trainer. Love this service, love the thoroughness, love being able to take my test and renew when it fits my hectic, sometimes crazy schedule as a trainer. Thank you.
I love FiTour!
I love FiTour. I loved the at home certification option. I felt like the dvd walked me thru everything step by step and I wasn't missing anything by not being in the workshop. FiTour has allowed me to build the business of my dreams w/o having to leave my family to do so. Once the exams were completed FiTour equiped me with all the legal materials needed and information to start my business.
Concise and to the point!
Lots of certifications go all out writing novels and life stories, which allows the trainer to lose focus of the course. Not this one! Brief but thorough explanations of everything without all the "fluff" Truly a pleasure taking this course and getting refreshed on what I need to know and remember as a trainer in the first place! Thank you Fitour!!
loved it.
Can't wait to get people started get them in shape,ready, and motivated and make some money :)
Awesome test that covered all bases!
greaaat
fittour personal trainning program was awesome thank you fittour
straight to the point and easy tp understand
Educational and Practical
I was impressed with your exam I use to be with NASM.Keep up the good work and please keep it afforable. Thanks Elena
Great!
Was simple to understand and easy to comprehend. Lots of info and was very informative. I learned a great deal.
Challenging and Fun
As a single mother of 2 and on a budget, I was blessed to find a certification that was within my means and able to learn so much about fitness! I'm so excited to start applying what I have learned in assisting others in the right direction to living a healthier life. I look forward learning and experiencing more with Fitour!
Excellent Certification Program
I have been a Cert Personal Trainer for 30 years and discovered Fitour 5 years ago. I have been so pleased with the study programs and certifications that I now regularly certify and renew through Fitour and have recommended the service to many other trainers. Thank you.
awesome program
Way to make a simple yet thorough test! Thanks FITOUR
Awesome!
I was wonderful learning about the thing I love to do most. highly recommend this course to anyone!!
Great method of learning
I would recommend FitTour to any person who I speak to who is interested in getting certified as a personal trainer because of the efficiency of the learning method. In 2 week-ends I was able to learn the necessary information to pass this certification! I Love FitTour
Excellent Training
I enjoyed having the opportunity to study at my own pace, allowing me the time to gain a better understanding of the material. The videos broke down each section of the book and expanded on all of the material.
The manual cuts off information on several pages.
Very detailed and easy to understand.
I enjoyed the language that was used. The book was easy reading for easy understanding. I came away feeling ready to be a personal trainer. Thanks.
Good info
Its great
Great Instructor
TEst covers all aspects of the Personal Training
The FiTOUR PPT certification process was acheivable!
Thank you for your patience. This is a great way to continue on our journey to fitness here in Indian Country. I am greatful to Lita Pepion for her dedication and perserverance working across Indian Country to help us to get movement back in our lives. Seeds of information have sparked personal dedication to our own health and fitness, we plan to exercise together in a team approach - together we can do this. Thanks
Dolly is a great instructor!
Love the detail in the dvd..and the exam in order as u learned..awesome..
Good test. Comprehensive yet concise.
Fantastic
I plan too use my CERT
our teacher for this class was great
Comprehensive information and testing. Thank you.
Very Profressional
Overall very pleased would recommend
very well informed
Good content
Everything was basic, but very important.
Easy as pie...
I loved the book and DVD. Easy to read and understand. A great start to becoming a certified personal trainer.
Personal Trainer Certification
The personal trainer certification was wonderful, very informative and on target to what I was looking for. I plan on taking my Advanced personal trainer in the near future. Keep up the great work Lita, from CRL fitness!!
great to have visual as well as the book
Great
Great exam, straight to the point, no bs!
very interactive
Lita our trainer was very enthusiastic, and knowledgible. Great invormation, and a lot of interaction and group exercise. The hands on training was the best.
Great info easy to understand and take!!
Clear and Concise
Appreciated the simplicity of the instructor while still comprehensive in the subjects taught.
FiTOUR provides a detailed and convenient certification
Awesome stepping stone!!!
The Fitour certification process is easy, very understandable, and its affordable. I've been training friends for years but couldn't get into the industry due to certifications being so expensive. Thank you Fitour for making my dreams a reality!
comprehensive,concise and thourough, very organized!
i loved the oppotunity to do laundry and check emails while in the convienence of my home, without a proctor over my shoulder, and other distractoins, and i could stop the test and take a nap when I got sleepy;-} Great Job Fit Tour I will never do another training any where else thank you so much and Great Job to Dylan from rochester who did the practical in jamestown!!
AWSOME
AWSOME
Workshop participation enhanced knowledge
Terese and Monica were knowledgeable and articulate communicators in the workshop!Their presentation made the information easy to grasp!
The instructors were awesome!
Terese McMurray and Monica Maddox were my instructors for the primary personal training certification course. I can honestly say that I couldn't have asked for more knowledgable, intelligent, productive, and inspiring teachers. At first I was apprehensive of the course, an online exam, a six hour training, and only five people in the class... how could this be true?? After 1 hour I knew that I was in good hands. Terese and Monica are exceptional instructors, professionals, and individuals. I learned an incredible amount of information and look forward to receiving my Master Trainer certification.
I learn alot I will keep my training going in my educat
Very easy to understand!
The DVD was great, I read the book and I was ready for the test. That simple!
great
Very good thorough test
I enjoyed taking the class. The instructor made the class interesting. The only thing I would like to see is how to set up a basic workout regimen for a beginner person. I would have to shadow another trainer for a while before I felt confident to train others on my own.
it's a great test
This was a very comprehensive yet easy test
THANK YOU FITOUR!!!
Tracy was an excellent instructor, very knowledgable and informative today!
Very useful content - but 2 DVDs were damaged
Good combination of video & manuel
great cert
this is a wonderful certification for those who want to get a start in the industry.
Certification was comprehensive.
Fitour made it easy to understand with the DVD and textbook information. Exam was conveniently taken on-line.
Fitour and my instructor Jackie from Ft Myers ROCK!
Easy to follow, just the facts.
Tracy was a great instructor-friendly and knowledgeable
I have been involved in fitness for almost 20 years, but this was my first certification class. It provided good practical information about personal training. I feel equipped to work with clients and that I have the foundation needed to pursue other areas of certification. Our instructor, Tracy, was the best! I hope to take another class from her in the future.
Direct and to the Point
This doesn't have a lot of fluff to the certification. All of it is usable and enough to get you started or keep you going.
great for beginners :)
it wasnt as detailed as i wouldve liked it to have been, but i think its a really good certification to give trainers a basic understanding of what theyre doing.
instructor debbie jo allen - top of the class!
Efficient & Effective
great lesson plan, easy to watch DVD. thanks Fitour
Good introductory instr. for those seeking to become PT
The lessons taught from this material was basic, informative, easy to follow and very good for those who are just entering into the personal training experience. As suggested in your instructions one should continue to build upon the knowledge acquired w/in this material. Thanks
A great summary of all the basics!
The Fit Tour Personal Training Course is a great basic course. It gives you all the information you need without overwhelming you.
The video instruction was great!
Excellent information
The video in conjunction to the manual is an excellent way to drive home the subject manner. I thought this course was very well taught and put together.
Covers All The Basics Very Comprehensively
I'm doing this on the way to the Master Practitioner certification and the main feedback I would offer is true for any online exam like this where it is possible to be open book - as it would be impossible to police this anyway. I would give no more than one minute of time per question otherwise you leave way too much time for people to hunt for answers and to not really learn the material. This reduces the passing rate for sure but it ensures at least some measure of "memorized" knowledge. I would also suggest mixing up the order of the questions so that they don't run in order with the order of the study material. This again accomplishes some of what my first point was all about. I greatly appreciate the fact that you guys strive to make these certifications affordable but would be a little hesitant to hire a trainer with only these certifications. They do make for great continuing ed and for doing this in a much more economic fashion than many providers out there which is probably the FiTour niche in many ways anyway. Thanks and very solid product. Some typos throughout where words are cut off at bottom of pages. The body comp sites for men seem to be impossible to see and the model appears to have a touch of gynecomastia ( sorry but I've been around a lot of fitness models and bodybuilders over the years ). I'm also not sure if the body fat equations in the booklet are clear enough or perhaps innaccurate. Please don't display this review; some might take it negatively and I wouldn't want that at all. You guys serve a very necessary part of our industry.
to the point
Covered all major topics. Very clear in format
good review of basics
Very Organized
The certification was very organized and easily understood!
It seemed like a very comprhensive test.
The only negative thing I can say about the exam is that it was very easy.
thankyou for the basic knowledge
THANK YOU FOR BASIC KNOWLEDGE.
Over all a great course
The course was very informative. I enjoyed how it was not extramly formal. I liked how it ws layed back and we were free to talk and discuss but also got done what we needed to get done.
It would have been helpful to have been able to review the 2 questions I missed.
Convenient!
Studying for the primary personal trainer was easy after attending workshop with Dolly Stokes. Dolly's presentation and review of the study materials prepared me for the written examination.
Question 42
This was great! Except one question, I had the right answer. I even looked it up later. They said I got it wrong but I didn't. Great otherwise
easy to understand yet very usefull
simple and effective
Very informative course!
AWESOME, JEANINE IS GREAT!
Advanced Personal Training Certification

Excellent Value!
A very detailed course and one of the most affordable advanced fitness courses on the market.
Well Informed and professional
I appreciate the whole experience to furthering my education in the fitness industry. I feel taking the test at home with open book has helped me to retain the knowledge important to personal training. I do encourage attending the group workshop for the personal one on one training and practical tesing. That is very helpful. I would conintue to gain certs through fitour along with other associations. Thank-You fitour.
Good Certification to add to Knowledge
I really enjoyed the Fitour Certification course. It added to my knowledge that I already had from previous EX Science courses. Good Certification to get for a first timer or just for additional knowledge. Read the books and watch the DVD for best results.
excellent learning experience for my job
Great and Intense
Great information and skill knowledge
The Gold Standard for Every Personal Trainer
Excellent information that every trainer should have as their foundation. No fluff; just what you need! I have other "big name" Personal training certifications as well; this is worth your purchase!
Great Information!
Great Info!
Very Thorough and Informative
I have been in the Fitness Industry for almost 20 years and Fitour has provided very affordable ways to keep up with trends of the industry and exams that help me stay fresh on information...Thanks Fitour.
this the best
one of the best programs on th enet. everything on point. thank u fitour.
Just like being in a classroom.
I loved the fact that it just wasn't a workbook that I had to read through but it came with a video also. It was like sitting in a classroom with an intructor. The flip book is also a great plus.
great course
very educational and simple to follow!
The test are clear and to the point, all meat no fat.
Quality, Applicable Education
Thank you for providing quality education designed for practical application that is affordable.
I can't beleive how much confidence I would have recieved just by passing the test to be a certified personal trainer? ACE certification made me feel like a "loser" because I failed the test by 12 points... and $250 GONE! I spent $100 for everything... and pass the first time I took the test. THANKS, FITOUR! YOU'RE THE BOMB!
Study Materials Did Not Disappoint!
The Fitour study materials thoroughly covered everything on the exam. There were no conflicts in the written materials and the test materials. Thanks for creating a great certification.
The Exam is on-point with safely advancing clients
I have taken many(20+)fitness certifications and have over 25 years in the industry - The Advanced Personal Trainer Course is on-point to create a successful next-step for both the client and the trainer. By following the guidelines set forth within the Advanced Personal Training Manual, the clients will see success in advancing through fitness levels safely. This is key to retention and referrals.
Fitour is awesome.
Great opportunity to advance quickly, cheaply, and effectively.
great course!!!
I am as excited about personal fitness as I was at the beginning of my journey! This Exam renews and fine tunes me so that I can become the best for my clients to become their best!! What an excellent exam!Very compelling to continue in education in fitness. What a pleasure. Thank you Fit tour
You'd better study!
Fitour has great rates. In which, it might make first timers think this is a BS Course. Man, let me tell you; you had better read and study the material because if you don't, you will fail. If you pass, you can rest assured that you are more than capable to answer you clients questions. This test proved to me that I actual did learn and retain the material. I learned a lot and now, I feel validated with a sense of accomplishment. Awesome material.
Excellent Information!
Excellent information for a beginner or someone who has the experience and just wants the knowledge!
Excellent Review and Certification
Definitely a great review and certification to stay on top of my "game" in the Certified Personal Training area. An excellent refresher that I would recommend for beginning trainers as well as those who have years of experience (as do I).
Great, Thank You!!
Great Program! Advanced Nutrition here I come.
Powerful!
The material was well organized and delivered. I love that it was designed so that I could learn around my busy schedule. The only thing I would have liked is a pre-test prior to the on-line exam. (Aside from that) The program was easy to use and affordable!
Great Course!
You learn the necessary principles to develop yourself into the best fitness professional that you can be.
Appreciated the in-depth, precise instruction
This course included some great information on in-depth assessments, how to determine muscle imbalances, postural problems. All information was presented in simple and understandable terms, and you don't have to have a degree in exercise physiology to understand what's being taught.
This was a great pgm to enhance primary PT cert program
I was very pleased at the contents of the program. The in depth outlines of stability training and improving athletic performance was perfect enhance my skill level as a trainer. It gave me many creative ideas for client program design.
great stuff!!
great course
Easy to lern from
Very Informative!
The only issue I have with the course is that the book is cut off at the bottom of some pages and info is missing. Otherwise excellent course!!!
Great DVD and study materials.
Love these workshops!!
Funtional knowledge that can be used in gym and class
Very informative. Rhonda Gann was very personable
Great certification.
Great thanks.
Great Experience
The test was great. It wasn't full of trick questions and the time limit was more than generous to take your time and check your answers.
simple and effective
Good overall program
I think that the stork test needs to be explained in better detail or there needs to be a better picture to show the test. Other than that I have no complaints.
comprehensive and useful
Material in the book/dvd is useful and practical. The exam reflects the material presented in the book/dvd.
Primary Yoga Certification
Average customer review:
(57 customer reviews)
Great certification, awsome knowlege base.
I learned alot.
I 'm happy with this program. It was affordable.
This program was what I was looking for. Something I could do at home. I have 3 kids and they are all involved in different sports. This allowed me to do this on my own time. Thank you. It was affordable and also allows me to further my education and come back for more certifications.
Informative and interesting
Very thorough! I'm really glad it did it this way!
Great price with fast and thorough training
After I received my package, I just can't wait to start the program. I spent couple days to study the material and DVD. The DVD is really helpful for people who have hard time to remember the sanskrit name for different type of pose and breathing technique. Overall, I'm very satisfied of what I learned, and can't wait to get another certificate with FiTour.
Awesome
Everthing you wanted to know about Yoga and more.
Great website!
I love the ability to complete the course online at my convenience!
Outstanding
Had lots of fun while learning the Art of Yoga...
I thought I knew a lot but....
I've practiced yoga for the past 10 years and thought I knew quite a bit about yoga. The precise, practical way that the class is presented gives a great overview and is easier to digest than other books I've studied.
Excellent Class, Motivated and very knowledgeable Instructor!
I feel I was very well educated by this program!
Great Program
I'm so excited to begin teaching yoga!
Complete review for basics
I thought this cert was great for somebody like myself just getting into teaching Yoga, although I have been taking classes for over 2 years. I teach all other types of classes and this cert has given me a greater understanding of the basic Yoga as I have been taking it. Thank you.
Great Company - Great Prices!!
I loved being able to take my time and get my certification at home.
very challenging and informative -- a well thought out certification.
Detailed yet easy to understand
This course was very detailed yet very easy to understand. It delved deeply into the history but could have been more detailed in the asanas portion. CarolAnn was very thorough in her review of the book on the DVD. Her tips made remembering key portions very easy. I'm so happy with my Primary certification that I took the Advanced Yoga certification immediately after. I'm also impressed that the renewal process seems to be easy and inexpensive. My prior certifications were with AFPA but FiTour is much more affordable and doesn't require additional money for CEC's. Instead of renewing my personal trainer certification with AFPA, I purchased the PT courses with FiTour and am waiting on delivery. Overall, I am very satisified with FiTour and will definitely continue with them.
Lots of terms to memorize
This certification was challenging by learning and memorizing the terms and working on the correct execution of the poses and combos. But it was also very interesting. I already incorporate Yoga poses in my workouts but will look into teaching an actual Yoga class.
Wonderful Instructors!
Tracy was wonderful. She had an amazing mastery of both the written and physical aspects of the material. She will keep me coming back for more!
This is my second certification with FiTOUR!!
I recently completed my Primary Pilates certification with FiTOUR and now I have completed my Primary Yoga certification!! I learned a great deal with the yoga certifications - not just the poses, but the spiritual aspects of the art as well. I can always refer to the DVDs for reinforcement. Next on my certification agenda - advanced Pilates/Yoga!!
This is so helpful to be able to go online and take my renewal exam and get the results right after. It makes it so convenient to stay certified with FiTour.
Easy to follow.
The DVD's and training manuals are professionally done. This program was very helpful in my understanding and practice of Yoga. I look forward to pursuing other certifications. The cost and time is minimal. I love the fact that I don't have to take time away from my place of employment which results in lost wages, don't have travel expenses (gas, hotels, meals) and I can study at my own pace. I love your business. Thank you.
Loved it, can do it from comfort of my home!
enjoyed the book, the video, and the work shop. thanks.
the workshop was awesome! I really liked the package including the video and the book. Will look foward to using the book as a source for my classes.
Great Value!!
Tons of information...absolutely the best bang for your buck....Two year renewals for $25. I love it!
i think fitour is an awesome fitness industry
i am an adamant and firm beliver in practicing the art and science of yoga. ive been demonstrating yog for 15yrs. it has brought tremendous health and fitness to my life i know that yo
informative and fun
Loved the workshop!
Excellent program!!!
Andrea was a great instructor!!
I really enjoyed the class and learned alot. The instructor, Andrea, did a suberb job teaching the class and made me feel comfortable teaching yoga.
good dvd workshop and live participants and questions
Each fittour certification was very good on all the ones I've taken. So I want to respond very positively to the pilates, personal trainer, group exercise as well as the yoga certifications. I am looking forward to completing the two I have and the hop to do more courses. thank you cynthia thatcher
Awesome instructor "Joyce" gave me what I needed.
Quick and Easy
I have been practicing yoga for several years now & we have yoga at work. My yoga instructor advised me I should get certified & the primary test was pretty elementary.
Joyce was an awesome trainer! We had a great time at the workshop, and she was really in tune with each of our strengths and weaknesses in a very non-judgmental way. Hoping to get her out to Ohio for another one!
You can pass this even with a busy schedule!
Go at your pace. Exam is simple and easy to understand. No trick questions. You can pass this test!
great resource for yoga instructors
thorough information
Thank you for offering an online certification.I live in a rural setting;therefore,finding it difficult to travel for certification.Your home study material is thorough,and gives me a good start to begin my yoga practice.Many thanks...
thank you! great test, great questions!
Glad i decided on Fitour!
Interesting and useable presentation of materials!
Good information, inexpensive certification
If you have limited exposure to yoga, this is probably not the certification for you. I've had exposure and had a very helpful mentor throughout my studying/training, which helped greatly. The study guide is somewhat disjointed, but has everything I needed for gym yoga.
It's good for the beginner yoga instructor. I got a better comfort level with the names of poses and it boosted my confidence to go out and teach a class.
The certification was good. Just a few suggestions: focus the exam more on the poses and check your spelling for the exam. I found a number of misspellings that caused me some confusion on poses and vocabulary.
Great price but missing practical exam
Pros * Cost * Convenience * Immediate Exam Results Cons * No practical exam (where you are evaluated on your actually teaching)
Very informative, materials helpful
Good basic course lots of background info & explanation
This was a great basic course, esp for beginners. I've taught yoga for several years so it went a little slow for me. It's be great if I could've skipped to the next level. However, this DID provide a great summary of history and background info on yoga. I recommend it!

excellent presentation
It was convient, practical and enjoyable. Thank you for doing it in the South Alabama area. I am interested in other classes.
Great Class - Wonderful Knowledge Gained!!!
So much information but well presented and easy to remember!!
Detailed yet easy to understand
This course was very detailed yet very easy to understand. It delved deeply into the history but could have been more detailed in the asanas portion. CarolAnn was very thorough in her review of the book on the DVD. Her tips made remembering key portions very easy. I am very satisified with FiTour and will definitely continue with them.
Informational, detailed instructions!
Joanne was fantastic.
No out of book questions. Very well done.
Fast, Affordable & Informantive
I'm currently a Yoga instrutor but I have learned so much more about yoga-I'm in love with Fitour, they are the BEST!
Re-certifications are so simple, yet packed full of educational tidbits that assist me in elevating my teaching level every time I enter the studio!
good and simple
I think the certification is great for those who have experience teaching.
It was very well put together with great explanations.
Focus on asana and breathing
Pros: *Cost *Convenience *Instructor gave useful audio cues to use in class Cons: *The last 3 test questions were about FiTOUR, not yoga. How does that make one a better teacher. They should be replaced immediately with questions on the subject matter.
Test questions
I had questions on some of the questions asked in the test and submitted an inquiry. I hope this helps in increasing my percentage of correct answers.
Just one thing, your mind should "wAnder" on wonder on the candle.
Indoor Cycling Certification

Efficient and Time saving
Great for "Seasoned" Instructors!
This certification is great. It's a great way to keep your certification current and keep up and review latest trends without the lengthy and often repetitive workshops.
very informative
Well worth it!
I was trained by fellow instructors and through master classes to teach indoor cycling, but didn't become officially certified until I heard about fitour. Great information and ideas for classes, even for experienced riders!
Easy and fun to study for.
clear and informative
Great training for the materials I received
The book was very detailed and explained every aspect of spinning.
Fantastic!
This course was very detailed and well instructed and i feel prepared to teach a class!
Awesome!
The book is well structured to be able to learn fast and easy. The additional CD is a real help in visualizing the correct positions and executions. Thank you!
Excellent, informative, I feel more prepared to teach.
Very detailed in information reviewed
It was great!
Jen Smith was awesome.
Awesome
I thought the test hit the marks as to what was covered in the book and the DVD. The DVD helped me to make sense of some of the book definitions. Thank you!!!
informative!
user-friendly and comprehensive
Great Workshop, and Motivating Trainer
Jen Smith was awesome, and it encouraged me to be a better cycling instructor. I have been 'dreaming' of becoming one for over a year, and am excited to put my experience and training to the test. If I could be JUST LIKE JEN I would! THANK YOU!
Had a great time at the clinic at Oakway fitness!
Jen Smith was great in her delivery of the information. She used humor as well as practical examples. I was really motivated by her enthusiasm for the company & the class she was teaching!
Cycling Certification course recommended!
I took the Johnny G certification four years ago and have been teaching cycling since. However, I needed to be re-certified since I didn't keep up my CEUs. The Fitour certification not only covers everything the other cert did and more. I learned new and interesting drills and I love the sample classes provided in the book. The DVD is like attending the all-day workshop in the comfort of your own home. Plus, I purchased the certification for half price during a promotion. What a great value! If you've never taught before, I recommend taking other experienced instructors' classes in addition to completing this certification. You still need practical experience to apply what you've learned in this course.
Covering all the material
The cycling certification covered all the concerns that a beginning instructor should have.
Informative Instruction
I felt the book and the video prepared me fully for the examination, and has given me confidence to instruct others in indoor cycling.
Everything I needed to know!
The layout of this book was easy to understand, and the exam was easier than I thought. I will buy my future certifications through Fitour!
Lots of good information and great dvd
Thank you for making this cycling cource available to me, I loved it and the information was priceless. Thanks again! Mark
Easy to follow Video and book
Very good info, easy to follow and understand
Great Training...
Was certified 2 years ago...just took the renewal exam. Highly recommend Fitour to anyone looking to get into teaching cycling!! They are really up to date in all their material.
Fitness Rules In Napa, CA!
Im blessed as I was taught by the best instructors in the World!
Great!!
Real World
I love you can take the exam at home and use your resources to answer the question.
very detail oriented, interesting, glad I took it!
Read the book, then watched the DVD, very detail oriented, the level of instruction was great. I have been teaching classes for a long time but needed to certify to continue at my present gym and this provided me with what I needed to be certified.
AWESOME!
I absolutely LOVED this certification protocol! The workbook includes great examples for one to use in their classes, whether one has beginners, intermediate or advanced students & DVD was great! I am HIGHLY recommending thi to my friends!
Excellent
Fast...informative and totally worth it!
I am an experienced indoor cycler with a desire to teach. FiTours has given me the certifcation I need to move forward and inspire others as an official insstructor. I was so impressed, I already signed up for the Hatha Yoga certification!
Great overall questions & awesome review of material!
Outstanding course
Really enjoyed this course. The training materials were very good and the test was easy to understand. It was very beneficial to me.
The book is incredibly informative.
Although I have been a cycling instructor for many years I found this book very informative. I also felt the exam flowed well to the material.
Great class with a lot of great material.
great experience and motivational
awesome, fun, educational, do it.
happy with material covered in dvd/book.
Easy
no trick wording to try and confuse you. Exactly as you read it in the book.
This gives you the confidence to move forward!
Having an indoor cycling certification gets me one step closer to achieving my goals. Fitour has made it so easy! Thank you!
Excellent program!!!
Great for those who already cycle indoors, but want to perfect their skills.
Very Educational
excellent certification choice for the busy
Easy, fast and convenient
The program arrived quickly after I ordered. It is easy to follow and convenient to do from home. I spent months trying to find indoor cycling certifications; there were few options and all would have cost 3 or 4 times as much money, in addition to hours of travel. The only problems I had were that my video stopped and skipped through some portions and that the connection went bad mid-test; I was able to re-connect at the appropriate place in the test and complete it on time.
Question #60 should be looked at. The book does not list Gluteus Maximus as a muscle used at the Top Dead Point.
Informative and Successful
This certification was the least stressful. I have always struggled with anticipation of the pressure I put on myself when testing. Just knowing that I had time after the initial class reduced that pressure and I was able to enjoy it more. The whole experience with the way FiTour has designed this type of certification was very positive. Thank you.
Concise Certification!
Very informative yet concise. Enjoyed our time in class with Macey Miller. She put on a good class that taught not only the basics but also alot of her own helpful hints into the class...Thanks!
Simple, easy to follow book
I loved it. totally enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding Course!!
Deirdre Morris is an absolutely magnificent instructor!! She is by far the best instructor, in terms of knowledge, professionalism and overall course instruction, that I've witnessed in the industry!!
great!
Wonderful for the cert process! Saved me time and money!!
Debbie Jo was great, very motivating, very enthusiastic
Having been an outdoor cyclist now for 22 years, I disagree with utlizing hand position 3 while seated for this reason: size of rider (tall/short) and overall oxygen supply cut off. As well, I ride with elite racers and athletes and can tell you I have never witnessed anyone at 145 rpms. Can't imagine that. Does this really happen?
Really enjoy all of Jennifer Smith's lectures and certification classes. She always presents the material well and keeps the class interesting.
Great class!
Macey Miller is a great instructor! I really enjoyed this class.
Class by Macy
I was really pleased with how fun and energetic Macy was when teaching this class. The time flew by and she made it so it was not boring or hard to pay attention. Absolutely loved it! Thank you!
Great review!
Very easy to follow.
I thought it was comprehensive, and informative.
easy to understand questions
Great workshop, great material, great overall!!
Great Certification!
Had a great cycle certification with Fitour! Macey Miller was an awesome master teacher, and I was very prepared for the test! :)
very helpful
Not hard to complete
Very informative
very simple
lots of information.
great course
Great class for recertification
As a group instructor, this was a great way to get my certification renewed and refresh my skills.
Easy, fun and educational!
Had a great instructor that taught the cycle cert class. Really enjoyed learning the proper way to cycle and teach a class.
Very thorough and useful!
I studied this book and took the test without the book and found it to be very thorough and user friendly.
Quick and easy
Question 66 said Beginnings instead of Beginners
Great class! Very informative and helpful.
Awesome !!
The book and DVD was very detailed and explained every aspect of spinning.
Great
The training is very simple and easy to understand.
Although there was a delay getting my materials, once they arrived I was very pleased with the course. The printed handbook together with the DVD made it very easy to prepare for the test and to teach the class. I liked the sample designs for classes. Also, Fitour sent me a gift certificate since my materials were delayed.
Easy to follow
The video portion of this certification was very helpful and detailed. She didn't just read from the manual and demonstrated all techniques for easier understanding. The manual was a great review for general fitness information and has great examples for a beginning instructor to utilize for their first classes!
Good, but needed the manuel
Fitours dates and history are different than other organizations. you needed the manuel for history and general descriptions for drills etc
Stress-Free
First time I was not nervous about taking a test. Plenty of time was given in order to not feel stressed or pressured.
very affordable price and quality certification
Jen Smith the instructor was great!
The manual really helped a lot because looking at other sources the dates and other drills were different than the one that Fitour has.
convienient
it is good and easy
Some questions need to be re-written.
Question #60 needs to be reviewed. The answer was all of the above, but the glutes are not involved during the Top Dead Point O degrees, so the answer can't be all of the above. Also, #85 is missleading. Rolling Hills in the book says that Rolling Hills can be performed EITHER seated the ENTIRE time or interspersed with standing work. Not just jumps.
Aqua Certification

(54 customer reviews)
Comprehensive & practical for an at-home exam!
I was pleasantly surprised that this at-home course was so comprehensive & practical. As an experienced instructor wanting to branch out, this course (especially the video but the manual as well) covered all the basics, not just the terminology & the facts, but the practical exercises as well. A great surprise!
I really have enjoyed all the courses I have taken
Thank you for your quick reply to my testing issue. It is a pleasure to deal with this company. I really have enjoyed all the courses I have taken with you guys it has enhanced my ability to teach a wide variety of fitness programs to my High School Physical Education classes and has affected the fitness levels of my young and old individuals. Thanks again and I look forward to taking more courses with you. I also think carol ann does a great job of teaching these courses she makes it very enjoyable!!!
tough but informative!
good exam, great book, wonderful photos showing moves for aqua exercise
The CD is great and easy to follow, I am so happy I used a notebook and wrote down all of the important points. Thanks Fitour, I have been training to teach at a YMCA. Looking forward to a great career in water fitness.
was very informative Carolanne did a great job
Carolann did a great job explaining and demonstrating, Watched the CD along with the book 2x and passed with out looking back. Look forward to Getting recertified as a personal trainer, through Fitour
Aqua Aerobic
I feel this was much better than Ace or AFFA, as the follow along CD makes it more interesting and easier to follow for home study. Plus the CD gives you many great ideas for putting a Class together...great surport!
Easy to use and navigate
I am yet again impressed at how easy home education can be for instructors. While taking my first class was imperative to understanding concepts the follow-up with renewals through Fitour's online program is one of the best in the industry. Very focused questions and easy to do in under an hour!
i was very pleased with the test
being able to take in at home along with training material was great
Excellent Course..
Great Course. Instructor DVD was very helpful and she is motivating, clear, and concise. The Guide was also a fantastic component with the DVD. I look forward to taking more courses with Fitour.
Complete and detailed verbal and written instructions
I enjoyed the flexibility of studying at home.
It was great having the manual with pictures and DVD to help me become more knowledgeable about aquatic exercise, and to sufficiently prepare for the on-line exam.
BEST WAY TO GO
I just loved the whole program from start to finish. The instructor carol ann is very pleasant to watch and she made it easy to sit there for 6 hours. Thanks...i will be getting further programs soon.
Very thorough & equipping for new/ experienced trainers
Great course. Excellent format.
Book was very easy to follow
Easy reading touched on important topics.
Great preparation for a beginner!
Detailed outline on choreography with fabulous examples of exercises to get you started!
As an exercise physiologist who has been in the health and fitness industry for more than 20 years I felt that FiTOUR provided correct information in an easy to learn text/format for the Aqua certification. I enjoyed the on-line option because I am unable to travel due to a hectic schedule with my children.
Thorough and efficient testing module; immediate response by technical support to address my question.
I learned some new things that will help with my class
I enjoyed the class & the instructor, she was really good. I feel this will help me be more aware when I'm teaching a class.
excellent instructor, easy to follow book
The on-line instructions are easy to follow. Thank you.
Straight and to the point instruction
I watched the DVD/CD. Wrote in the accompanying book and reviewed all the info before I took the test. I got a high score and felt like I had a good understanding of the material. Thank you Fitour.
Quick and easy.
Lecture part was great! Recording during the exercise demonstrations could have been better. There were a lot of background noises, a lot of background pounding and other people splashing in the water, and walking about the pool area. A bit distracting, if you ask me. But other than that, I still give you 5 stars for the great overall presentation! :)
Informative of fitness components as well as exercises.
The manual and video were informative both for fitness components and knowledge as well as exercise examples. I found it to be helpful and benficial in preparing to teach aqua.
good study manual
I have previously taken another aquatic certification and I found the Fitour materials to be excellent by comparison. I have also take other Fitour classes and liked them very much!
Practical to use
I like that I was able to watch and rewatch the dvd as many times as I needed. In case that you are not a dvd-friendly;, the dvd-information is printed in the handbook manual.
Great video
Thanks Fitour
Fitour has help me be a great benefit to the community. I own it all to the instructor Jeanine Chamberlain. Thanks again
Beth is an excellent presenter. Learned alot!
Great test!
Great Test!
Excellent easy to understand. Great expo/demo study inf
It would be nice to see your results when you pass the certification test so that you know what you missed so you know what you need to bone up on. Just a suggestion.
Great study guide!
The course is very informative and well put together. It is easy to understand.
The material covered in the book and DVD was extremely informative and easy to comprehend and remember. Bet was great teacher.
No tricks on EXAM.. straight forward. Instructor great!
No tricks on EXAM.. straight forward. Instructor great!
Very worth-while training!
Dylan Mariah is a very experienced trainer.
Very good overall fitness exam!
This exam included a lot of basic fitness information that will help carry one over in to other fitness certifications and exams. Very good and to the point if you read the book/materials.
Really enjoyed the course. Technical information was shared very easily. Once you hit the water, all the information was very user friendly. Instructor was very professional; her knowledge was in-depth, yet on a level that the class could understand.
tons of information, very informative!
font color
It is dufficult to read the font due to its color. Maybe a darker more contrasting color could be used in the questions.
Easy to follow materials
I enjoyed your workshop via book and DVD. Thank You!
I thought carol ann did a wonderful job
I was hoping for more info on deep water classes. Can you send some?
ambigous 54, 55, 61 (may be I missed them all)
This was a through exam. However some errors on answers
#40 asks about cueung being challenging in the pool area. Not all queing is challenging, only the more verbal cues. the question did not say "verbal cueing" is challenging. If the question stated that, then the answer would be true. #55. my answer was (d)All of the above. Which included 20, 30 and 60 minutes. You state the correct answer is 20 min. However, ACSM reccommends 20-60 minutes which includes..."all of the above".
Core & Functional Training Certification
Average customer review:
(10 customer reviews)
High Quality but very low cost!
This course was designed with detail in mind and is offered at a great value including study material.
Very complete examination
Great information - easy to follow formatting for class
The Primary Core and Functional Fitness manual gives great information that, if applied to a class format or for the Personal Training Client according to the guidelines listed therein, will provide safe and effective programming!
Specific and Thorough
Test kept me on my toes but overall it was great..
Very Informative!!!
There is a lot of expert information that i've learned from studying for and passing this certification. I am now a better and safer trainer because of Fitour :)
A very helpful learning experience
This course has been a big help! Core & Functional training concepts are still evolving, much more so than the traditional fitness components. This cert's best feature is how it "reigns in" and categorizes these concepts, and then shows how best to put them all together into a training session. Only critique is that this course's exam would have been tricky, without having taken the Personal Trainer cert course first. Very little, if any, questions pertained to the senior component of the manual. Still, overall, a very good experience.
Stability Ball Fitness Certification
Average customer review: 
(8 customer reviews)
Informative and Convenient
I loved this home-study course. I learned a lot through the very detailed manual. The convenience is immeasurable.
Variety of exercise working the whole body
The fitour material provides a number of exercises for the whole body. In training workshop, we performed the most of the exercises as described in the manual. Very helpful training and excellent presenter.
Fitour is a great organization.
I always enjoy the video seminars, and this one was good, but hard to follow. It went all over the manual and I couldn't locate where she was before she changed areas again. That's all right, but it would have been helpful if when she jumped, we knew where she went. But it was still an overall job well done. Thanks.
I enjoyed taking the class.
The instructor, Darcie Adams was very knowledgeable and thorough. She made the class light and interesting and it was a pleasant experience.
Stability Ball exercises are for everyone.
There was a variety of exercises that address the whole body, not just the powerhouse. Exercises are easily taught and the levels enable the instructor to teach any fitness level. Well-organized. I feel that some of the exercise names could be changed to be more user or layperson friendly. Easy for instructor to remember and for the class participants to remember or recognize.
Step Certification
Average customer review:
(4 customer reviews)
Excellent Opportunity
I was so excited when a friend shared with me the FiTour program. She told me that it was an inexpensive but excellent resource for entry into the fitness industry. I have been very interested in health, wellness and high-quality life for approximately 15-20 years but recently became even more focused. So, I went to the FiTour's website and reviewed all aspects before making the final decision to begin the certification process. My experience during the website review confirmed it was the right way to go; subsequently, I ordered the materials. As soon as I received the materials, I began the study process and reviewed the instructional DVD. Overall, the affordability, quality, and program recognition is what convinced me that this was the program for me. I am now on my way to becoming a fitness instructor and this can be a direct result of FiTour. Again, thanks for offering an affordable and nationally recognized program with an in-home option certification!
So easy to learn the material
I am so pleased that the book and DVD came as pack, it help me use different study techniques to past the Step Certification exam.
The DVD and book were great and very helpful!

Fitness Coach
I work as a weight loss counselor and certified personal trainer. I love having the education to promote physical acitivity by matching the best program for a person's goals. The one item that would be nice to have with the is a printout I can give to my clients to fill out is I am not meeting with them in an office environment/working with them online.

I have been practicing yoga for 38 years and teaching for 8 years. this course was full of great information and ideas, without being overwhelming.
Fabulous!
Fast and exciting!
I loved how easy to read and understand the material wa
I loved how easy I could understand the material. It was very informative and helpful!
great book/helpful info
This was a fantastic book (Human Kinetics always does a great job) with much helpful information for the starting yoga teacher, or review for those with experience. It helps me feel comfortable starting a new class.
A very good study book.
Awesome way to learn on your own and keep learning.
I found this way of learning to be extremely liberating and very exhilarating. The information is detailed and very thorough, and I learned so much, on top of my practice.
much better
I took a fitour yoga training about 10 years ago and while it was nice, I felt that it was not as professional or comprehensive as other trainings out there. Well, I got sick and missed a class and needed to get a certification until I could get my CEUs updated to renew another certification so I ordered online. I was VERY impressed with the quality of the books and training materials. The depth of information covered in the course was excellent. I now feel confident in recommending this program to other new instructors who are getting started.
Good, general questions...not tricky!

Modern Pilates Certification
Average customer review:
(5 customer reviews)
Great Book! Excellent Information!
Really liked the text that comes with the Modern Pilates certification. It has given me many practical ideas for keeping my clients motivated!
The book for this course is one of the best I have seen
Great, easy to fol
The book by Rael Isacowitz is extremely thorough.
There was so much involved with the information in this book. It would have been helpful to view a DVD of some of the different exercises on the equipment (maybe mat exercises, too). Unless you've worked on this equipment there is no sure way of knowing the full scope. I recommend a 2 day workshop for this certification. I know I need additional training other than reading and trying the mat exercises on my own.
I learned a lot, but found this difficult to practice without access to Pilates equipment.
Youth Fitness Certification

The book is excellent! Lots of information and great games ideas.
Weight Training for Women Certification
Average customer review:
(3 customer reviews)
Lots of Information
I love this course. The study materials provided lots of interesting and practical details on weight training. I learned so much in a short time. I use the study guide when I go to the gym as a resource guide to help me.
Interesting but Created a Brain Overload for me
The book and DVD are good but there is so much information that after a while the brain overloads and reading the book became exhausting. I prefer the Homestudy courses with the DVD and the instructor to follow and having the book for reference and guidance. This concept seems more lively and tends to stick much better in my mind. But I appreciate all the information that the two authors collected and put together.

Great Class
I really enjoyed the FiTour Group Barbell Certification. My instructor Christen Skinner was awesome!! Very informative and fun.
Great for the basics!
good
good
Awesome class!
Thorough.uncomplicated. you had to know the material
The group barbell certification manual is very helpful in learning the subject matter and in planning a class. Deirdre Morris is an excellent instructor and trainer. I would look forward to taking more classes from her.
great class
I think the idea of this class is great. I am very hopefulmy gym will incorporate it into the schudule.
Good basic certification program
Good basic training info and the certification test was straight forward. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars in my review is that I wish the website was better and more clear to navigate and that you could actually reach customer service to ask questions.
Boot Camp Fitness Certification
Average customer review:

THIS IS MY FOURTH CERTIFICATION WITH FITOUR!!
I very much enjoyed the Boot Camp certification. I learned a GREAT deal which will help me improve my boot camp class tremendously!! FiTOUR is AWESOME!!
Great work shop
The work shop was fun and educational. I will do more certifications through FiTour.
Great Staff and Great Seminar
The Seminar was fun. I learned many new things, made new friends and had all my questions and concerns addressed by the very friendly staff. The testing was great and resuts are obtained immediatly as well as a temorary certificate. Thank you for everything!!!!
Awesome presentation by Rhonda Honeycutt! Great ideas!!
Very nice!
I took a 12 week class from an ex-Navy Seal and super loved it! Then ordered my cert from FiTour and the material and test made it possible for me to start my own Boot Camp class! Love it!
Useful
I do alot of group exercise classes and my students love this class! I teach indoors and I make it fun and they love it! It was so easy to learn and to tools are helpful!
Great testing and I loved the work book
What I liked about the test was it shows you what you got wrong and what the right answer is......and its a 2 year cerdification with a $25.00 renewal. Cant go wrong. I love the affiliations as well. Thanks
great outline of what a boot camp should look like
Great Workshop
Christen Skinner is a great teacher and instructor. She is makes the class fun and interesting.
Good program
Good program but the test questions had several missed spelled words. Review is just a small recommendation
great basic info, at a very great price
worth a shot to recieve certificate, and makes u more valuable to earn extra income!!!!
Very educating course
A few of the statements regarding running I do not agree with. The overall experience was a good one.
Lots of good info
Great information, friendly, knowledgeable instructor. Useful information. Not a waste of time or money.
Great Information but wish book was in PDF form
All the information need to setup and run a great bootcamp. Thanks you, Mark. P.S. Check question 49 on test I think "complete" is the wrong word in the question? Thanks again, Mark :)
