EDUCATION - testimonials Hi Gail! "I think I can speak for the group when I say you were FANTASTIC! We learned so much from you during our ECITS Group Fitness Class. You are inspirational and not to mention, hilarious! " -Kate Nolte, Spring 2010 I have learned so much I can't believe it. Was at the gym last night...tearing apart all the trainers in my head...lol You may have created a monster. Can't wait for class to be over so that I can put all my new found knowledge to use. Now I know what I've been doing wrong in my own training and how to fix it. BTW....if you need any help at next year's conference...please let me know. Would be happy to help you out! Pass or fail...the best money I've ever spent. -Mattie, Spring 2009 class Carol and Gary, this message is just to thank you for being such a great resource for professionals in all aspects of health and fitness. Having left a full time position in workplace health promotion to return to school for a doctorate degree, I look for resources that are current, easy to read and access, and with a wide variety of interesting topics. Since I am not as involved in fitness (until I complete this dissertation), I most often rely on web sources to stay current. After 30 years as a fitness professional, I appreciate the individual and collective wisdom of those who are contributing to moving this industry forward. I read all of the material from ECA that is delivered to my email inbox. At some point, I hope to attend an ECA conference! Thanks again... Regards, -Lisa M. Elsinger, MEd Doctoral Candidate, University of Wisconsin Madison Research Project Assistant - Office of Continuing Professional Development in Medicine & Public Health Dear Gary, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to have passed the summer course and receive my ECA Certification! I am thrilled with the test scores I received and am looking forward to putting my 'skills' to work! I want to let you know that I found the course to be extremely informative, and although it started out being 'hard', you were right when you said it would all fall into place. It did! I learned a great deal about the cardio-respiratory and pulminary systems, the muskuloskelatar system, and the human body in general. The staff was informative and I truly enjoyed their lectures! Gary, I really enjoyed the work-out 'demo' you gave!!! It had been a long time since I did an 'aerobics' class, and I truly was sore the next 4 days after...AND I'M IN GOOD SHAPE!!! So kudos to you! I am also grateful to have met some really great people through the summer course! New friendships are always a good thing! I am hoping to be a part of the NY convention this coming March. I know there is so much more to learn, and I intend on keeping up to date with the industry! I love the fact that I am embarking on a new career as a Personal Trainer! I have ECA and it's staff to thank!!! With sincere appreciation, -Joanne Hutchins Student Li Summer 2008 To: Gary, Lenny, Marty, Sybil & ECITS Staff: At this time I would like to express my gratitude to all the lecturers for their level of professionalism and the way the material was conveyed to me and all my classmates at this summer's ECA Training Course. The team of instructors that Gary put together to take us through the manual were very knowledgeable and personable, thus making this challenging and difficult course fun and exciting. Special thanks to Mr. Pace for his expertise. His serenity and calmness made me feel comfortable and relaxed at some stressful moments! Thank you, Gary, for all your support and extra effort as you showed us your personalized concepts and strategies and, no doubt, these helped me reach my goal as a personal trainer. -George Milos-Student Summer 2008 You guys are doing a great job teaching and I find it also very helpful at my current job. I teach and train the mentally disabled adults I hire men with disabilities run 5 landscaping crews throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. 75% of my crew is at high risks either obesity high BP and countless meds ect. This class is definitely making an impact on how to make a difference with the population I work with. I have been a manager/trainer for 15 years and been through all sorts of schools to keep up to date and this class takes it to a new level. Not only will I use your skills as a part time PT I will also be helping the mentally handicapped at work perform better at their job. Hats off to Lenny, Gary and Marty Excellent job! P.S. That step session Marty ran on Tuesday cured my lower back pain! -Rob Hayes (student Li Summer 2008 class) Hey Everybody! I took off to Europe just after the exam, and I've come home to great news, I PASSED! Which is perfect.... now I can keep my room reservation in Miami....ha....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. So, I might be a rookie now.....but wait till you hear my update in a couple months.....I'm sure I'll be hot & happenin'! Thank You EVERYBODY! Kendra Madigan .......And Many Thanks to you too Debbie.
