TESTIMONIALS
Word on the Street
"I chose the WITS course because it combined a practical component as well as hours in the classroom and it had an internship afterwards...I liked the internship because it allowed me to shadow and learn from experienced trainers for hands-on experience without being thrown right into the workforce."
Vienna completed the WITS Personal Trainer Certification course in the Fall of 2016 with the recreation department at York University. Since this time she has grown as a fitness professional and has held roles on the fitness and lifestyles team as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and fitness attendant. She currently works as a personal trainer and leads our accessibility exercise program which she has helped elevate since becoming the lead personal trainer.
In February 2019 she also accepted a personal trainer position at Toronto Sick Kids Hospital where she will be responsible for helping the staff, who support the children at the hospital, live healthy lives. We are SO proud that Vienna is a staff member of the fitness and lifestyles team and a successful graduate of the WITS Personal Trainer Certification Program.

Edmond completed the WITS Personal Trainer Certification Course in Fall 2016 and completed his 30-hour internship at Miles Nadal JCC in downtown Toronto. Edmond’s successful internship and transition from intern to employee is a prime example of how the WITS Personal Trainer Certification Course differentiates itself from other available courses.
Edmond said, “The biggest thing I did during my internship that secured employment was open myself up to flexibility and learning. They were looking for someone that could blend in with the temperament of their members and provide a unique training experience from their staff”.
Edmond has had the opportunity to build his personal training clientele at Miles Nadal JCC, instruct group exercise programs and help support additional events at the facility. All of this was made possible by Edmond’s professionalism, work ethic and the completion of the WITS Personal Trainer Certification Course.
