Since I first started hiring graduates from your program back in 1996, I have had great success. Your graduates are knowledgeable, serious about personal training as a profession and eager to build and maintain a client base. My business offers only one-on-one personal training services, therefore I need to have the best staff possible at all times in order to properly service our clients. Your program has been an excellent source of quality trainers. I look forward to continue using ECIT graduates as potential employees.
Sincerely,

I’m There! Thank You so much for teaching me 600 pages of fitness industry material. WHOA! You’ve got a wonderful program going on there. All the instructors took what is the most intimidating book I believe I’ve ever held, much less read, and broke it all down into an informative & manageable way of learning everything. Not only that, you all made it fun. I really enjoyed everyone’s lectures and you guys have such great attitudes, it certainly shows that you love what you do, very inspiring.

Just wanted to say thank you again for a great series of classes where I learned more interesting information than in four years in a liberal arts college…
