“In Laura’s words…

Someone asked me once what makes me different than other trainers? Because I have lived it! I know what it’s like to be on both extreme ends of fitness (and a million places in between!). I have struggled with my weight, hitting almost 200lbs, smoking, drinking and battling bulimia for close to 15 years to training like a maniac and entering in a fitness model competition. While the road has been rocky at times, my fitness journey has given me an amazing learning ground personally and professionally to develop the most fierce, fun and REAL programs for my chicks.

I have never been as excited to use all of this experience and knowledge as I am for the Fitness and Nutrition Expert program. From building and teaching amazing programs to developing the yummiest, healthy recipes for your clients to connect-ing all the dots between wellness & business, this program is going to rock your world! You are going to be filled so much healthy passion that you are going to be PUMPED to come to class (and I will also bribe you with my healthy chocolate chip cookie dough balls…yum!)

Before

In Amanda’s words…

At the age of 9, I lost my best friend and older sister. After this devastating loss I turned to food for comfort, as many do and looked at food with a new type of relationship forming that wasn’t always a healthy one. Food fed an empty place in her heart and void in my life that I wasn’t sure how to fill at the time.

Years passed with this continued vicious cycle of unhealthy habits until June of 2008 that Laura and I decided that we were going to live the life we knew we were meant for and atlas FIT CHICKS was born. With FIT CHICKS taking off and becoming a focus for my life I knew if I was going to promote it, I had to truly live it and changed my self-sabotaging habits for good.

Of course, we are all human and there are pizza days snuggling with my cat (yes I loved them lol) but the balance is finally here. As well as the passion for igniting this health living lifestyle and helping women all over Canada find your inner FIT CHICK. It is why I love getting up every day and I can’t wait to share it in the Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program with you! Together we can all make an impact and change our lives for the greater good and in turn help change the lives of the loved ones around us!

TESTIMONIALS

“ By becoming a Certified Fitness and Nutrition Expert I have gained the confidence I needed to start my career in Personal Training. I love that it covered all aspects of the industry, including fitness, nutrition, wellness and business skills as well, which are so important when we are launching a new business. I am now confidently putting together business plans, personal training profiles, nutrition programs and utilize all the skills I have learned during the co-ops as well.

I have been also able to improve my online fitness coaching business with the extensive knowledge I obtained throughout the course. Best decision I had made was to enroll in the FNE course with Fit Chicks!

— JUDITH, ETOBICOKE, ON

When I started the FNE certification I was already teaching classes as a Fitness Instructor and training clients one-on-one. What I found so amazing about the FNE course is that it is not only for someone who wants to start to their career but for a seasoned fitness professional who wants to increase their knowledge base as well as start their own business.

This course was way more extensive than past certifications I have taken, lead from the perspective of a heart-centred fitness professional (my jam!) and was taught to all levels while still teaching higher level learning. In addition, this course not only focuses on fitness and nutrition but also wellness and business. It is a full package that lays the groundwork for anyone, who has a passion for health and wellness, to start their own business or work as a fitness professional while creating the lifestyle they deserve and want!

It has opened up so much more for me than I thought. When I started I thought I would be furthering my education into nutrition but I received so much more. It changed the way I teach classes in an amazing ways!

My fitness classes are full of pumped participants, smiling, sweating and encouraging each other on; and better yet, coming back and asking for more. I have learned how to connect more with people, not only in class, but in life; deepening one of my core values of “meeting people where they are at.”

It also inspired me to take my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and start exploring opening my own health and wellness centre.So, I suppose the question is not how it was helpful in starting my business and career but how it helped me evolved into a better trainer and person as well as open my heart and bust through the fear to starting my own brick and mortar facility!

— KELLY F., MISSISSAUGA ON


“


I signed up for the FNE Certification at first as it worked perfectly with my family’s busy schedule. I am very pas-sionate about health and fitness and I knew I wanted my next chapter to consist of spreading that love onto others. The course prepared me with the confidence and all of the tools to be ready to start my new career immediately upon graduating. The course is all online which gave me the flexibility to complete my course workload while the kids were in bed or away at school – alleviating the complications of taking time away from my family. I cannot thank Laura and Amanda enough as they have responded to every question I have ever had throughout the course, and even beyond. They are always very informative and responsive to my needs. They have been such a great support system throughout my journey. With the Fit Chicks® FNE course I had a great Platform to start with and get to wake up everyday and spread my passion through my own business Ybe.Nourish.Train, providing small group bootcamps, Personal Training and Nutrition Guidance. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to start their own business, maybe just getting into health and fitness, or to help grow themselves internally or externally.

— YVONNE BEATON

I Loved the FNE Program! The instructors were full of spirit and knowledge, and the content was great. I had no idea how much I would learn and how involved the program would be. The live online lectures were informative, but I loved that I could view them in my own time if the schedule didn’t work for me. There are few people and events that are instrumental in forming your life path, and I think this course is one of those for me. This course has given me the courage, knowledge and experience to teach my own bootcamp classes and start my own fitness business. I can’t wait to share what I have learned, and help women be FIERCE!!!

— CHELSEA STROUD

This program allowed me to finally invest in myself, health and well being. Laura and Amanda will empower you through vast knowledge and expertise. Their level of dedication and commitment to their students far exceeded my expectations. They changed my life and I will be forever grateful!

— DANIELLE, HAMILTON, ON

“ The FIT CHICKS Fitness and Nutrition Expert program was an amazing experience! I was too intimidated to go back to university to get a kin. degree, and was then worried that that would not prepare me to become a fitness instructor. As soon as I heard about this program, I became excited and it felt right. The course ran at a great pace, and it was really helpful to be able to watch the classes at your own pace. I could fit all the classes and assignments in to my own schedule and didn’t have to worry about falling behind. I HIGHLY recommend this course!

— JENNY, WINNIPEG, MB

The Fit Chicks crew is a supportive network of women that have developed such a well rounded course, covering fitness, nutrition, wellness, and business. Not only do they provide students with useful information, the practical components give you the confidence to apply what you’ve learned. They are the biggest cheerleaders for their students success. Love them!

— GINA, TORONTO, ON

One of the best decisions I’ve made about looking into a new career path was taking the Fit Chicks Fitness Nutrition Expert Program. They made this program fully packed of information but also made it trouble-free so that I was still able to do my full time job. I looked forward to our evening classes and they were always there to answer any questions in a fast manner. They helped me clarify that I made the right decision!”

— ALYSHA, TORONTO, ON

I have been working for FIT CHICKS for almost 3 years and I still love it as much as Day 1. I have never worked for a company that truly focused on empowering women through health until now. We are constantly, new workouts to add to our repetoire, ongoing education through FIT CHICKS University and constant support from our Head Chicks. It can be daunting to work in fitness and I know this from experience. But with FIT CHICKS, it is all about education, motivation and inspiration. They want us to be our best so we feel confident helping others be theirs. I have learned so much about fitness, nutrition and wellness since being with them but also about myself and the trainer I want to be! We call ourselves “The FC Family” and that is truly what it is. I cannot wait to take this course and you need to too!

— JEN, CHICK SERGEANT3 0 • F I T N E S S & N U T R I T I O N E X P E R T

““I have always found it overwhelming to try to learn what nutrition and “eating healthy” means, and what works for me. When I met Laura at FIT CHICKS, that all changed! I’ve attended her nutritional workshops on multiple occasions and they are always highly informative and so motivating. She presents information in such a way that is not overwhelming or overly technical that I always leave feeling confident I can do this and help others reach their nutrition goals. Since taking her workshops, I was able shed some extra pounds and gained back energy that was lacking. Also along the way, I ended up in a relationship with a Type 1 diabetic. Understanding how he balances his blood sugar level was not very daunting for me, as Laura had touched on this topic in a prior workshop. Not only did this help my relationship but I know how to build healthy habits with him. If you want to change your health and life, you have to take this course… you will LOVE it!”

— AMBER F

“I have been working out with Amanda Quinn for close to 5 years now. Her knowledge and experience as a trainer in the fitness world is so remarkable. She is dedicated to her work as a trainer like no other person I have known. She motivates you; she encourages you to give your 110% when working out. She listens to you when you required modification work outs and makes sure that you are doing it correctly to prevent any further injuries.

I had attended one of her FIT CHICKS retreats in Horseshoe Valley and this was the first time that I had ever done yoga. Amanda was the instructor for the class and once again I was amazed on her knowledge and experience in this field. I was put in yoga positions that I never knew I could do! Amanda has changed my life for the better. Her classes made me more toner, more fit and gave me more endurance and I thank her for all she has done for me. Most of all she believed in me, she knew when and how to challenge me. Amanda is my Jillian Michaels… she is a rockstar!”

— LINDA C

“I actually nominated Laura for Top 10 Fitness Professional of 2014 because she changed my life! I think of her more as an inspirational leader because she pushes me to do the best that I can and be the best that I can be. She always teaches us precisely how to perform each exercise, modifications and/or challenges so that we may safely push beyond our limits. I am motivated to lead a healthy lifestyle from watching Laura and have learned how to best plan my workouts along with the proper foods to eat. Laura has taught me the importance of balancing exercise and my health so that I can see not only physical changes, but emotional changes as well. Thank you Laura for your support!”
