Here is what students say about the courses:

  • bcrpa classroom course schedule“Dynamic, interactive, practical. I love a teacher who teaches from the heart. When it is a true passion for the instructor they have a way of making the difficult easy, and that is what this course is, a breath of fresh air. Very inspiring and motivating to make me want to get to the next level. I’m very glad my son talked us into all of this. Sometimes one gets to busy with day-to-day to step back and look at the big picture and remember what you enjoyed most in life, movement. It was a wonderful weekend.”
  • “Small size of the class was a bonus. Instructor’s knowledge on all aspects of the course as well as his enthusiasm. Informal nature of the class and class participation.”
  • “Thought it was very well thought out the slides/group activities and the constant breaks all were very productive and brilliant …”
  • “Thanks again look forward to working with you and taking this further …”
  • bcrpa classroom course schedule“There are lots of great instructors in the world but not so many exceptional. To engage the learner, make it fun, and make the complicated seem simple is a gift, you are truly gifted, thank you for sharing your gift with us. It is uplifting. I was very energized after the course and look forward to your next courses. Cheers!”
  • “Enjoyed his method of teaching and his ability to explain the material. Also, his easy going style and many examples he presented from his own experiences, all made the class fun and easier to learn the concepts.”
  • “Really thought the team/hands on stuff helped to really stick the information into the brain.”

“Instructing Certification Courses since 1993”

KINESIOLOGISTS.CA aligned with the certification process of BCRPA in 1993 (previously as VIP Fitness) – that is over 30 years ago! Our solid understanding of the process will benefit you as a learner so you can complete the process in an efficient and timely manner. KINESIOLOGISTS.CA is also a Personal Training & Active Rehabilitation Company as well . So, you will receive instruction from a company that understands your future challenges as a trainer.

There are many choices for health and fitness certification today, but KINESIOLOGISTS.CA has continued to support the BCRPA’s process. All prices are listed so you are not hit with unexpected fees. Lastly, all courses are paid for individually so you are not paying for courses you never finish. Here is the KINESIOLOGISTS.CA approach to the certification process:

Many changes have occurred in the last few years with the BCRPA leadership and certification process, but for those looking to begin a career in the field, this governing body can still be a decent choice. KINESIOLOGISTS.CA is now in the process of obtaining credentials for other personal training certifications, so stay tuned for more information later this year.
