Health-and-Fitness online information.

This summer AFAA attended the Can-Fit-Pro Convention, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario, from August 23rd to 25th, for the first time. The convention, supported by a tradeshow of over 200 health and fitness vendors, hosted over 5,000 fitness professionals. The AFAA booth received a high volume of visitors, some from as far away as Japan, who were pleased to see AFAA at the convention.

Lisa Hamlin, AFAA Professional Affiliate Coordinator (PAC) of Southern California, met numerous program directors and fitness professionals. This face-to-face contact was highly successful in promoting APEX Conventions and acquainting Canadian professionals with AFAA's certifications and workshops. Many AFAA certified professionals stated they look forward to future AFAA events hosted there.

AFAA also hosted an APEX Convention in Toronto from September 20th to 22nd. The Personal Trainer Certification was held at Ryerson University, while the Primary Aerobics Certification took place at The Adelaide Club. Debra David Kavluk, group exercise director for the club, said hosting APEX was an exciting opportunity to offer professional development for her staff as well as other fitness professionals.
