“I have told anyone I know who's interested in WT/PT/Group Fit etc. to check Inshape out. Your instructors/instruction is great and I think the best part of it all is the support you give to students the whole way through. It makes BCRPA's complicated process so much easier!”…..Elizabeth B.

“Thank you for taking us through what for many of us was a scary experience, with grace and an uplifting manner. I appreciate the safe and supportive environment you create, that leads to our being successful, and feeling successful. So thank you!”…..Brooke H.

“I loved the course, you taught it so well. Thanks for making the material easy to understand and interesting to learn.”…..Kate F.

“Brian's course today was unbelievably fun and packed with amazing amounts of useful information and techniques. His level and depth of knowledge, energy, humor, professionalism and instruction is exceptional.”…..Farzad M.

“Fitness theory was a very informative, well taught course, you catered to all learning styles and went so in depth that this gave me the confidence to further educate myself about the human body and make me a better fitness instructor.  I knew that I would end up taking the rest of my certification courses from Inshape Training and am so glad I did!  Group Fitness went above and beyond my expectations, we had a great group and, I get so nervous "on stage", especially in front of a camera and you made it a safe, comfortable experience!  Also, being able to watch myself  and get your immediate feedback was so informative that it has made me more aware of what to work on and how to get better!  Your knowledge, experience and important tips were the key things I felt privileged to get out of this course.  I know that I am one step ahead as a new trainer!  Thank you so much Sandra for teaching me what you know and for your support and advice.  I would recommend you and Inshape Training to anyone considering working in the fitness industry!”…..Mea J.

“I can't begin to say how much Gritt amazed me during the courses I had with her, we learnt so much that did not even come from the book!  Gritt is such a knowledgeable trainer and she tries to teach her students everything she knows for us to become good personal trainers.  Her weight training course really prepared me to enter a gym with a client with confidence and have a strong understanding of the muscles, weights and why functional exercises are important.  Furthermore, in her personal training course, she took what was taught in weight training and applied it to personal training in a way that reinforced what she taught before.  I am humbled that I had the opportunity to learn from someone who is that knowledgeable and am so happy that I was lucky enough to take her weight training course before she stopped teaching.  Thank you Gritt, I would recommend your personal training course to anyone who is serious about personal training!”…..Mea J.

“I’m enjoying the course, Sandra. You are very articulate and bring up many excellent points. It would be easy for me to just “do what I do” (otherwise known as showing off...) but I would REALLY like to challenge myself to try different things in this safe environment. I appreciate your most critical input. Bring it! :)  From what I can tell, you are an exceptional instructor with tons of knowledge and experience.”…..Margo N.

“Just wanted to say thanks for everything over the past few days. You made learning not feel like school, which is a great thing. I enjoyed coming to class and I am very excited to take my next step.”…..Will L.

“You get my thumbs up for your efforts, thanks so much for the direction.”…..Ken H.

“You really have the knack for teaching.  You remind me of a good school figure skater, accurate and knowledgeable.”…..Cal C.

"If they had Oscars for the most supportive fitness teacher in Vancouver: you've got it!".....Britt P.

"I would like to take this time to thank you for the work you have done to help me take my class and to say how impressed I was with your teaching. I could not have asked for better descriptions and explanations of the course material as well as better preparation for the upcoming tests. I was especially pleased with how well you understood the material, it seemed as though you knew every line and word of the courseware and could teach the classes by heart. As someone who has had a lot of education at many different schools, I believe you may be at the top of the class as far as instructors go. It was just such a nice change of pace to have an enthusiastic, smart, confident teacher that I thought I needed to let you know. Please keep up the good work.".....Steven F.

"When I took the Fitness Theory Course through Sandra, I felt more than prepared for the exam. Sandra has a very adaptable teaching style that caters to all types of learners. She's patient and she consistently goes over the most important things you need to know throughout the course. I passed the exam with 92% and wrote to her to thank her because my awesome grade had a lot to do with the way she delivered the course material. She is very organized and efficient and I highly recommend her.".....Jennifer O.
