Student's TestimonialsThank you, thank you, thank you, I have just completed my Personal Trainer course & I was actually sad that the course had finally come to an end, I will miss going to class, I looked forward to every class,it was never boring & we were always challenged in such a way that made learning so enjoyable & easy. No one in the class was ever left behind & it was so clear to see that it was very important that everyone completed the course with a higher than average calibre of information & knowledge, always going that extra mile so they can be proud to stand behind their students, I have definitely set myself up for success by choosing INFOFIT, thanks again I want to give a commendation to Sylvain. He is really a great teacher and his passion shines through. I know I am in really good hands with INFOFIT. After INFOFIT’s Course I am inspired to teach with full knowledge and offer superior training. I will set a higher standard compared to other trainers. I am going to be the person people line up to get trained by! Thank you! Before INFOFIT’s course, I was frustrated with trying to remember all the terms that we need to know. But thanks to all the different methods of learning and fun games we played in the course, I am able to remember all the terms easily. This course is worth the time and the money I spent! I have always been active and considered a career in the fitness industry. So I registered in the Personal Training Course. I gained so much knowledge in this course! INFOFIT was awesome. Thank you! Before I attended INFOFIT's Personal Training Course I felt embarrassed to want a career in the Fitness Industry. I had no where near enough knowledge to even walk into a gym and pick up a dumbbell. But, after INFOFIT's course I became aware of how much I can achieve with the methods and teaching of INFOFIT. I have so much more confidence in what I have learnt. INFOFIT has definitely helped me get a job FAST - just by mentioning I was taught by INFOFIT! Thanks!! Well, just finished Personalized Personal Training Diploma Course with INFOFIT today. I have to say I am very impressed the way INFOFIT and Sylvain has been so professional, enthusiastic, and caring with me during the last three weeks of teaching me. INFOFIT really took the necessary time to explain things to me or review if I didn't understand, you didn't leave me hanging and that is very important! I wish everybody could take this program even if they didn't pursue a career in the fitness industry. I have learned so much in such little time that I consider golden knowledge now! I have to admit that at times I felt like I wasn't being taught some things well enough, but then after all the homework everything made sense! Anyway, awesome stuff, awesome you guys, awesome the whole thing!!! Taking this weight training course was a good move. I can't wait to start my personal training practicum with you guy's. This has been one of the best experiences for me and definitely the best school experience!! Andre your a great role model. Thank you. I can't stop talking about what I've learned, so much that I have a few friends joining the March course. Thanks again. I feel very lucky & glad I picked INFOFIT for my weight trainer certification, I am fortunate enough to be learning from the best of the best! It's unbelievable how much I have learnt in such a short space of time, & I'm not just learning course requirements it is so much more than that, I know I will walk away with invaluable skills & knowledge that are going to make the difference in my career I was absolutely impressed how INFOFIT made it for us to remember all the names of the muscles, joints and bones in a extremely short time frame. THANK YOU very much for an amazing experience. You have met and surpassed my expectations. I can't even begin to tell you how much I have thoroughly enjoyed the Fitness Theory class, the accelerated learning/teaching techniques used by INFOFIT are extremely effective, I have not studied for MANY years & subjects & topics that at first seem intimidating & very technical became simple & easy to learn in no time, but even more importantly the way they teach enables you to retain the information on a long term basis,I am more than confident to sit my Fitness Theory exam. Their passion for fitness resonates through out the whole course, if you are thinking of taking this or any other course I can highly recommend INFOFIT, I promise you, you won't be disappointed :-) I have signed up for the weight trainer course & I already know I am going to really enjoy it!" Having been through many different types of schooling, my experience at INFOFIT goes unparalleled. Due to their reputation, and their staff, I received multiple job offers before completing the program and am currently working full time as a personal trainer. Many thanks to Andre and his team for making my move into fitness industry an easy one. I would just like to say it was such a pleasure to meet you and take your classes! I was extremely impressed at the great caliber of the course & the training – thank you so much for making it fun and easier than I was expecting! I'm writing to thank-you. I really appreciate INFOFIT allowing students such as myself to be present with hands-on learning, during your clients personal, one-on-one training sessions. Needless to say, INFOFIT's creativity in personal training is remarkable and very inspiring! The fun that you have in applying your expertise and years of experience really comes through in your work. I can but aspire to such excellence! I'm really jazzed about the ATP2 program and the way in which the hands-on learning is all coming together. While the learning and growing will never be done, as one continually expands personally and professionally, I'm very pleased and grateful to be where I am right now! Thanks! I loved the instruction I received. Sylvain was fabulous, a wealth of knowledge and patience. I normally workout at home and now feel comfortable being in the gym, using the equipment and confident in instructing others on how to use it. I also enjoyed learning alternative exercises if the machines were busy or not in the particular gym I happen to be in. INFOFIT's style of teaching allowed me to take the information that I was trying to memorize in college to a whole new level of understanding and comprehension. I would never have been able to do that wothout you! Thanks! This is to let you know that I passed my ACSM and thank you for all your help... you are AMAZING!!! I can't believe 5 months ago I didn't know a thing about personal training and now I'm qualified.. its such a great feeling!! Can't wait to get back to the UK and start working as a PT! Thanks again for everything- woohoo!! Wow! Thank you to all of you at INFOFIT for being so supportive and for always giving your all for any questions or information I have needed from you. I have never gone to a school where the staff care about you so much and truly want to help you learn and succeed in life! Since I was a little girl I have always had issues with learning slower then others, and then I start my Program with INFOFIT and learning has never been made easier! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me succeed and reach my goals, I OWE IT TO YOU! I just want to say thank. You are a awesome teacher and the program you have put together is fantastic! The extra time in traveling to your course, effort, and money was well worth it for me. These courses are but the first steps toward my career and I will be in touch for continuing education. I was extremely impressed with the content and quality of the course and instructors! Great work and very professional. thansk for making it easy to learn!! Thank you for the fantastic instruction over the weekend. You made it fun and exciting. I have to say that I have learned so many useful things that I will use now and in the future. There was so much great information passed on that the course was so valuable. I learned everything I had hoped to and more. The course was educational and our instructor was amazing on so many levels. Sylvain was great! What I learned in such a short period of time would have taken me years to understand if I studied on my own! Cathie, I would just like to say INFOFIT’s Student Practicum Program and your training have proven to be an awesome mentor for me, thank you for everything!!!

I was so impressed and fascinated by INFOFIT' s course material and instruction! Before I attended INFOFIT' s Personal Training Course, I felt that my dream of combining my Psychology/Counseling education and physical fitness seemed unachievable due to my lack of knowledge in the health, kinesiology and screening areas. But after attending INFOFIT' s Personal Training Course I have gained confidence and competence in the difficult areas of screening, risk assessment, anatomy, kinesiology biomechanics and more! Thanks to INFOFIT, I am closer to achieving my dream!
Posted by: Megan Bruneau September 2009 Please let me say how impressed I am about the Personal Trainer Course. I have learned an incredible amount of information in 16 hours!
I'd like to express my satisfaction with the course so far! I feel as though I have learned more in two days than I have thus far in my training career. I could not be more pleased with the material, instruction, and Andre's expertise and passion for the subject. I will definitely be referring anyone interested to INFOFIT. When I first started the INFOFIT program I wasn't sure what to expect. But, after just one day I could not believe how much I had learned and how fun it was in the process. INFOFIT has continually exceeded my expectations and by using all the tools they provide for students, I secured a full time job in a great facility without even having to apply! Thanks INFOFIT! Posted by: Kyle Getz. August 2009 I think Andre is the most amazing teacher I have ever had, it was an honour to be in his program. Thank you for this program! I really got my money's worth. Posted by: Ross W July 2009 I finally understand the sliding filament theory that was covered at University. I learned it at school, but never really understood it and now after INFOFIT's Fitness Theory Course I understand completely! Posted by: student July 2009 I am currently taking your Fitness Theory course and have been extremely impressed with the high quality teaching methods that have been utilized. Posted by: Sanaz B. Feb 2009 Thanks for being awesome teachers and mentors, my memories of Vancouver will no doubt be full of INFOFIT moments! Namaste. Elton and Cal. "Hi Della and Andre, I just attended INFOFIT's Fitness Theory Course and I can't believe how much I've learned in these last two weekends and I enjoyed every minute! Thank you!" "Andre from INFOFIT Educators was recommended to me and I'm so grateful that I followed up. I love him!!! His unorthodox style suits me perfectly and I can't believe how much I've learned. I've taken the Fitness Theory course and have just completed the weight training course. Time just flew by! "I attended INFOFIT's Personal Training course some time ago and I still think Andre is one of the best instructors I've ever had!" "I have recently completed my Fitness Theory course and just wanted to let you know how HIGHLY enjoyable it was. Thank you Andre!" "Initially I decided to do the Fitness Theory course through the home study program but I found it hard for to put the information into action. I decided that I needed to be in a classroom environment so that I could get some help. When I switched to the classroom I found it easier to process the information and I did not have to struggle trying to memorize the materials because Andre's style of teaching enabled me to be able to retain an incredible amount of information in such a short period. I am glad that I made the decision to complete the course in the classroom. It was an asset to have an instructor as great as Andre to answer all my questions. He made the class fun and I couldn't believe how fast the time flew by. Thank you Andre!" "After taking a class somewhere else I was blown away by INFOFIT’s standards. INFOFIT exceeded my expectations. André is and excellent teacher and educator." "Thanks Andre. The business course on Saturday was really great. Thank you again! Wishing You Health and Happiness." "I attended INFOFIT Educators internationally recognized Elite Personal Trainer Diploma Program courses (the Fitness Theory, Weight Room Instructor and Personal Trainer course) and am in the process of finishing my Personal Trainer Certification exams. I loved this program and have started to make great money helping people, doing what I love. I learned Andre’s cutting edge insight and knowledge in sport, health and fitness science. As well, I learned practical real life knowledge. Since studying under Andre, I have been very successful and busy FULL-TIME. Andre has taught me to be confident, thorough, and speak louder and clearer when working in a noisy gym. Why? ... because it gets me more business. Members in the gym can’t help notice me and how superior my knowledge, training skills and innovative exercises are in comparison to other veteran trainers with 5-10-years of experience. Members are amazed when they learn that I am still not yet certified and they think I have 5-10-years of experience. Thanks Andre!" "What we learned this weekend in the Fitness Theory Course, took me a half a semester to learn in University. Thanks!" Posted by: Carolyn B | Spring 2009 I have recently written my fit theory exam and received my results (95% - Thank you INFOFIT). Posted by: Alethea P | Spring 2009 Client's TestimonialsHello Andre – just wanted to thank you again for last Friday and the fitness test. I learned SO much, and am very grateful for the new insights – primarily it was a HUGE gift to know that I wasn’t going crazy (with endless workouts and incredibly stubborn weight loss I was beginning to think I was losing my mind!). I instituted the changes right away in my workouts since Friday – long sessions (or even two sessions with long brisk walks with the dog as well) all under my anaerobic threshold. Also made a few adjustments to my diet as you recommended. And things seem to be working (fingers crossed) – have already lost lbs since Friday, so it’s coming off really well now. I am thrilled, as you might imagine! "I'd always been a tall and lean type, one who dabbled a bit in weight training in my late teens/early thirties until a traumatic shoulder injury made training very hard to do. A sedentary lifestyle, a job where I sat for hours on end and the changes that one's body undertakes with age all chipped away at that lean form little by little. One day in 2007, after returning from a trip I was shocked to see a flabby, round, middle aged women with my face looking back at me from our vacation photos. Those pictures were a wake up call. I was advised to try out Andre Noel Potvin. My goals were to lose body fat but also to build good posture, muscle and strength. In about 14 months I went from a slouching person of 159 flabby pounds to a tall standing 146 lbs. of pretty lean muscle, losing pounds of fat while gaining pounds of solid muscle. It was hard work, but I stuck with it. Today, at age 42, I am leanest and strongest I've ever been in my life. Andre Noel Potvin deserves the credit for his effective training and rehabilitation programs, hard work and his obvious desire to see me reach whatever goals I set for myself. I felt there was more to my recovery from some of my health problems than what my doctors were foretelling. I couldn't imagine a sedentary life with little hope of regular activity, after I had recovered from physical trauma. I knew in the back of my mind that becoming more active was my only hope for a reasonably healthy future, but I didn't know where to start in that endeavor. I was stuck in lethargy limbo. Once I met Andre everything just clicked, and I decided to test his expertise. Andre views fitness as a part of total body health, and doesn't just focus on my body's component parts. Andre has been able to create and maintain a new and interesting fitness schedule for me that I doubt I would have found anywhere else. His unique combination of scientific knowledge, encouragement and motivation is far different from stories I've heard of other trainers. Most people think that a trainer is merely a disciplinarian who puts you on a "lift more or die" weight program. This is not the way Andre Noel Potvin works. Andre has become a trusted coach and advisor. He focuses on me as an individual and pays particular attention to my abilities and my physical limitations. He built my fitness program to meet my particular requirements in such a way that I have benefited far beyond my expectations. Andre's knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics have kept my body safe as well as helped my body recover some of its youthful capacity. I started feeling some effects of working with Andre within a couple of weeks. After a few months, I felt that my life was changing. After six months, I felt that I was a new person. Today, I feel much better about my body and about how well the world sees me. I can also think much more clearly now that my body is working better. Now that I've been working with Andre for over a year, I feel that I am healthier, happier and have a brighter future. I might even live forever. I would be happy to talk with anyone about Andre's approach to total body health and fitness because nothing, and no one, has come close to making me feel this good and this proud of myself and my accomplishments." Client's (Back Pain) TestimonialsBefore I met Cathie, I had given up on personal trainers. Having severe back issues, trainers simply would not know what to do with me safely, that is until i met Cathie. She is an extremely talented, and by far the most educated trainer, I have ever worked with. Thank you Cathie, for saving my life! Bonjour Andre, I am taking this opportunity to tell you how amazing all the tricks and tips you gave me for my back pain. My back feels perfectly fine now and as long as I do what you've told me to do, I know it will remain that way. You are a real pro and I thank you for all your help. I'll see you again soon hopefully, or not so hopefully :)" "Andre Potvin is my trainer and helped me with my back pain issues. He has saved my life; actually he has given me my life back, and I cannot say enough about how great he is at working with someone in pain. Thank you Andre!" Professional Testimonials
