FiTOUR® Modern Pilates Certification

Great class that is affordable and convenient
Posted May 15, 2009 by Juan Maldonado from North Hollywood, CA
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.

Great Intro to Kickboxing...
Posted May 12, 2009 by Aimee
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.

The class and the test taken afterwards was straight forward and help one to not only see but to think about what one is doing. Thank You for the opportunity to get the certification.

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!

Carol Ann did a wonderful job educating me on the principals of Pilates. It is clear that she is passionate and very well-versed in the topics taught all while maintaining a sense of humor! Thank you for providing an affordable and engaging opportunity!

Frustrated
Posted July 23, 2016 by Candy Cotton from Fitness Connection.
I hold myself to a very high standard. There were a few questions on test that did not give the correct options. For example: Question was concerning speed and agility drills. answer was speed AND agility. Options were a) power, b) speed, c) both A and C, d) agility. Option C should have been Both B AND D. So that automatically forced me to miss one. I realize its a pass or fail type test, however its the principle of the matter. Who proof reads these tests for typo's? This automatically created a miss? Very frustrating when you study and know your information!!!

Why I didn't get 25 dollars for renewal and why I had to do 100 questions and why I didn't get 2 years
Posted December 25, 2016 by Rayfornett morning
Why am I not getting my certification for 2 years like it says on this paper I have and why I didn't get the renewal with the 25 questions I had to do a 100 again?

Above average
Posted October 4, 2016 by Alicia from Atlanta
Price was great and test was straight from the book so if you read and study you will do fine. Two things I did not like was the book was dated with a copyright of 2005 and updated in 2007. I purchased in 2016 so I'm sure some things have changed since then. Second thing is, I would have personally liked more pictured examples with form descriptions of the basic moves. The Core conditioning and Sports conditioning were good, but just ok in the other categories.

Expiration Date
Posted October 2, 2016 by Vicki
I am upset that because I took the re-certification exam when I was emailed the notice of expiration, I lost 2 months of certification. My new certificate should expire 2 years from the date that my currant certificate would have expired, not the date I took the exam. I'm upset that the notice of expiration was sent to me so far in advance of my certificate's expiration date with no indication that the new cert would cost me two months. Had I known that I would lose 2 months on my new cert, I would have waited to renew it.

One of the questions had several typos. I would also like to see which questions I missed. Is there a way to do that?

Great exercise demonstration.
Posted February 20, 2016 by Mrs. Gregory from Texas
I truly liked how this program gave an example of each exercise. I am a visual learner so this helps me to see and perform the exercise along with the instructor. A plus was that she gives a workout program at the end. What I didn't like is that it did not cover any material over the musculoskeletal anatomy, general basic physiology, or kinesiology. While this is information that I studied in my Group Fitness certification, this was not covered on this program and there are several test questions on this material. I did not like that the video segments were not in order and material jumped from one part to another. A majority of the part I spent turning pages to find the page she was covering. There was absolutely no review on this program so you need to read everything carefully. Overall it was an educational program and I enjoyed it. I'm ready to practice and get a class going. Better organization would help. I printed the study material and bought the additional material only to find out it was the same thing. So you can just download and save your money for another class. I'm still waiting to see if AFAA is going to accept this as a CEU even though it states that AFAA accepts these courses.

I really enjoyed this course. My previous certification was done in 1998 and of course I have done some CEC's, but I really wanted to freshen up my full certification. I definitely learned some new stances and movements I will be implementing.

I was skeptical at first because of the price of this program which is less than half of what I had paid to another certifcation company. This is a very detailed and well thought out program with a 64 page study guide and 27 videos. Very impressed!

Fantastic training, to the point, helpful tips and totally worth my time as a very busy, multi-certified, fitness professional. Great refresher to fill in the knowledge gaps. 1st time instructors will receive exactly what they need to know to get started.
