Reflecting on nearly 9 years as a practical examiner and core exam proctor for World Instructor Training Schools - what an incredible journey it's been!

For those who might not know, WITS is the only personal training certification program that requires BOTH a comprehensive written exam AND hands-on practical assessment in person. No shortcuts, no online-only testing - just rigorous, real-world evaluation to ensure trainers are truly prepared to guide others safely and effectively.

Having evaluated hundreds of aspiring fitness professionals over the years, I've seen firsthand what separates good trainers from great ones. It's not just knowing the science (though that's crucial) - it's being able to apply that knowledge with real people, adapt on the fly, and create meaningful connections that inspire lasting change.

This experience has shaped everything I bring to AKS Wellness Services. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, learn about nutrition, develop healthier habits, or dive deeper into wellness education, I'm here to help you reach your goals with the same standards of excellence I've upheld in certification testing.

Your wellness journey deserves someone who understands both the science and the art of transformation. Let's chat about how we can work together!
