There are a ton of fitness programs in the market. So what makes the Fitness & Nutrition Expert the best choice for you? Let us break it down!

What makes this program different?

FITNESS & NUTRITION EXPERT ✓ A holistic approach, with a focus on fitness, nutrition, wellness AND business, we are the only all inclusive program that offers it all!

✓ Includes personal training, group fitness and online training which means you will become versed in 3 areas for the price of 1

✓ Nutrition Counselling, which means you will have the knowledge to guide clients to get results and reach long term health goals with proper nutrition

✓ 200 Hour certification program which means we are here to support you through your in-depth learning, building confidence and skills.

✓ Co-op & Teaching Placement to ensure you have real life experience to hone your skills, build your resumes and confidence

✓ An awesome Chick network with access to job opportunities, awesome resources, discounted services and ongoing support in the industry

OTHER PROGRAMS ✗ Narrowed approach, which means you will focus on only

1 aspect of fitness that will limit your scope and skills.

✗ Only includes personal training OR group fitness OR online training, which means you are limiting your reach and your income and will need to make multiple courses.

✗ No focus on nutrition counselling, which means your clients will not be able to get results and reach long term health goals. Nutrition is over 90% of the equation!

✗ Weekend Courses which means you learn primarily from a book with no additional support.

✗ No co-op or teaching placement, which means you will have no practical experience when leaving the program.

✗ No support, which means you will likely finish the program and not have any additional support or access to help you success

“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!)

This program will make you realize how truly amazing, strong and fierce you are and the power you hold to make a true impact in this world. What is our goal? To create an amazing “chick army” of female health leaders to spread that healthy love across the world…and I know we can!!

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

Page 30: FIT CHICKS Fitness & Nutrition Expert Program 2015

“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 SERGEANT

“I love FIT CHICKS!. I’ve been working out with them since July’13 ; usually I join a gym and lose interest in 3 or 4 months but not this time. The classes are always challenging, fun never boring and you get results. Amanda, our Chick Sergeant, is an amazing person and coach. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or experienced, Amanda gives you options that suit your level. She motivates you to try even when you think you can’t. I’m 59, proud owner of abs and “guns” and just ran my first 5k. Thank you FIT CHICKS!”

“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!”

““I’ve struggled with my weight all my life. When I joined FIT CHICKS, I thought it was going to be just another exercise program. That couldn’t be further from the truth. My first Chick Sergeant was Laura Jackson. I was nervous on the first day of bootcamp, but with Laura’s positive and encouraging teaching style, I completed class without a hitch. What was key for me was being shown the different levels of difficulty. Some levels I completed at level 1 (easiest level) and some I was able to complete at level 2 and eventually even level 3. Laura’s moto is always try at level 3 as you can always move down a level if you had to. This gave me the confidence to complete the class and encouraged me to give my 9 out of 10.

As I worked towards my fitness goals, Laura has encouraged and supported me to achieve fitness and nutrition goals I thought I’d never reach. She inspires me to work hard, eat healthy and to love me in every way! Laura is a fabulous, positive woman whose life is dedicated to helping and inspiring women of all fitness levels achieve a healthy mind, body and soul. She has had a very positive and huge impact on the woman I’ve become today and I am forever grateful for that!”

“I have been attending FIT CHICKS classes for well over three years and I still love going now as much as I did on my very first class. The FC team are always changing things up and adding new dynamic exercises to keep people motivated and engaged. I love how they are able to make classes challenging no matter what your current fitness level is and know how to offer variations on each exercise as you continue to get stronger and progress. It is the best fitness program I have ever done (and I have done A LOT) I highly recommend IT to everyone! It is fun, challenging and an amazing way to reach your personal fitness goals! “

““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!”

“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!”
