The Leadership Demand in a Health Crisis
A growing health crisis (early onset diabetes and osteoporosis, youth and adult obesity, etc.) demands qualified leaders in the fitness profession to successfully program, market, instruct, educate and influence the majority of our population into active living.
The CFES vision and specific goals are all aimed to at providing consistent and comprehensive fitness education, leadership advancement and effective program delivery — providing qualified and confident fitness instructors and personal trainers who are able and ready to work with their participants effectively. Our standard is: If you are CFES certified you are employable.
Board of Advisors, Staff and Consultants
CFES would like to gratefully acknowledge the thousands of hours and expertise that the many dedicated allied health and fitness professionals have contributed to scrutinizing the models for certification programs and requirements. The CFES Board of Advisors, staff, professional consultants and writers have all been included at CFES round table style of collaborative management to bring you this program today.
CFES certification has been developed as an alternative choice for fitness instructors and personal trainers wanting to join others in the development of more comprehensive, academically credible and practical fitness leadership certification standards; have a national network of fitness professionals like yourself connecting with your industry peers; and to advance your career credentials.
We encourage your participation, your initiatives and ideas. Join us in the national movement to motivate Canadians to lead a life of health and wellness.
Yours sincerely,
Margaret
