Testimonials

"The Flexafit Level 1 Certification course was exactly what I was looking for. It provided a solid and comprehensive foundation for understanding how to develop athletes of all ages and abilities. If you have ever struggled to find clarity behind the wealth of fitness myths and fads and want to know which exercises will actually benefit your skaters' fitness, then Flexafit is the program for you. I really appreciated the science and research-based approach of Flexafit that was incorporated into its teaching and programming. Signe was an amazing presenter who was able to break down complex ideas into simple building blocks that I know I will be able to pass along to my students. The depth of knowledge that she had when asked a question continually astounded me, and I also appreciated the passion she had for developing every age and ability of skater in a safe environment with injury prevention in mind. If you are looking to find a program that can be comprehensive for the diversity of your students' needs and skills, I would 100% recommend the Level 1 Flexafit Certification course."


- Ally, FLEXAFIT Certified Trainer

"Hi FLEXAFIT!


I would to thank FLEXAFIT for offering this certification course! As a coach from the Philippines, we don't have access to these kind of training, especially for coaches.


FLEXAFIT is very detailed and is really backed up by research. Although the course was short, you know that a lot of thought and effort was made in making the course. The thing that stuck to me the most is the structure of the program. You have to track progress. I was taught that as a coach I have to be mindful of what I teach on a daily basis. I have to make sure that I don't waste precious time.


I also appreciate that we touched off ice jumps. The progressions and how it taught from basics and how it applies on ice. I have a bit of knowledge on off ice jumps but Signe explained the details of each and every jump so well.

The discussion on the muscular system was also interesting and an eye opener. I felt like I have to research more on that to fully understand what I'm teaching.


I have not started the full on intensive off ice workshop with my skaters. But I have been trying to apply slowly. For skaters that have little to no experience in off ice, I think it is important to gradually introduce off ice training rather than shocking the body. But for my skaters that have tried the off ice and on ice changes, it was an instant result. I have told this to Signe before "it was like magic", "oh it did change something". My personal favorite is correcting the check position during the take off from a waltz or axel - the "clap" before stepping down.


Signe is one of the best teachers I had. Although it was a short course, she spent the whole time explaining, demonstrating non-stop for almost 5 hours straight. She was enthusiastic and full of passion. You can really feel when a coach loves what she's doing and I truly appreciate the time I spent learning with Signe. I will always look up to Signe and how she is so passionate about the sport.


As a coach, I have always loved doing my own research. But I think having a mentor is far more valuable. Having a conversation with Signe is one of the best thing I have gained from this course. Her experience and knowledge on the sport, not to mention her creativity when creating an exercise are things you really want to value. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about the sport, who wants to think about the growth, progress, and safety of their skaters, and to anyone who wants take their coaching to another level. I have been talking about my experience non-stop to my co-coaches and skaters, and I cannot wait to see results on and off ice.


Thank you again Flexafit and Signe for having me!"


- Kihyan, FLEXAFIT Certified Trainer

"12 Gold medals, 6 Silver medals and 6 Bronze medals at the Provincial Championships in SA. Our team of skaters have been participating in the Flexafit SA online classes and their amazing results are testament to what a structured, constant and committed off-ice program can do for your on-ice results. We are super proud coaches!"


- Susan Marais, FLEXAFIT Certified Trainer

"I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know about a couple of coach participants I had at a Regional Training this past weekend in Sherbrooke, Quebec. During the training we have a section on off ice classes + preparation. Two participants were outstanding. Their contributions + knowledge for jump prep and general fitness were well passed anything I’ve seen before in a new coach. They are true FLEXAFIT, figure skating and athlete ambassadors. Your impact on not only skaters but future coaches is truly immeasurable!


- Mary-Liz, Coach

"We have been using the FLEXAFIT off ice training methods for over three years. In the course of the three years I have seen the biggest improvement in my junior athletes. The athletes that are training off-ice regularly have improved at almost double the rate as those athletes who have not joined the FLEXAFIT program. I can certainly say that FLEXAFIT has helped my skaters improve in leaps and bounds!"


- Lejeanne Hennessy, FLEXAFIT Certified Trainer

"Thank you SO MUCH for this course! My previous experience is that off-ice is a general fitness class (if there is off-ice at all). Your YouTube videos looked so skating specific, and the videos of your students were a great proof of your approach, I was searching for a course to get certified in this kind of off-ice training.

The course was exactly what I hoped for. Very structured and straightforward, the videos of the exercises are super useful, and it is very reassuring that I can go back to you with future questions. Above all your technical knowledge, you have the talent of being a great teacher, which might be normal for you, but the truth is, it is very rare.

I wish I had this type of off-ice, and I hope to train many skaters with your method. Also big thanks to your team, who helped with the organizing and smooth running of the course.
