April 2008 General - Cardio Stack Core Attack by Greg Sims
This workout is awesome, and I must say that the high reps of plyos is exactly what I love, and needed in many workouts! Anything to get your heart rate UP and to keep it up is the kind of workout for me. I just wanted to tell you that this workout is definately a keeper, and WOW does it kick your core into high gear!! Good Job on this one! Keep more coming! Mandee - CA

April 2008 Presenter(s) - Jeff Borden
Jeff presented information clearly and with detail. So that the students had an ability to grasp the knowledge and know how to apply it. I was very happy with the presentation. It was an enjoyable class to say the least. Jeff kept us laughing, allowing us to keep the pressure off while giving us the information at hand to attain. I would definitely recommend his lecture to others that want to get certified or just brush up. V. DONALDSON - NY

April 2008 Presenter(s) - Darise Jeffcoat
I just wanted to send IFTA a little note. I attended the Group Fitness Class on Sunday and I wanted to let you know that Dee was great! I was very nervious about sitting for an exam on material that is new to me. She reviewed everything, and made the class very enjoyable. She is a great teacher in the classroom as she is in the gym!

December 2007 Workshop - Certification
This is about my third workshop session with Greg, and he is an awesome presenter I am always able to learn something new to take back to my class. I learned so many things in the Kickboxing Explosion session and tubing session and I am able to go back to my class and teach my students.
Also, Greg always provides us with the best music. When I played the Cd's in class the students were so excited to hear the great music while taking my step class.
Greg, keep up the good work. Lisa Marie Prysock - IFTA Fitness Workshop - Metro Detroit Westin Hotel

July 2007 Presenter(s) - Greg Sims
Wow! What a great weekend! I used the choreography that Greg taught us in the step and strength workshops for my class today and they had a BLAST!! I loved that Greg taught you how to break it down for your beginner students, b/c I am a new instructor and that seems to be the hardest part for me! It was so easy that even my P.T. Army guys picked up on it, and they have a hard time with the BASIC!! Loved it, cant stop talking about it! I will be back whenever IFTA is in town! Keep it up! Casey Snyder - El Paso, TX

July 2007 Presenter(s) - Brian Guzman
I recently had an amazing weekend with IFTA! Brian was enthusiastic and fun while he presented the cycle and personal training certs! If learning everything in the certs was not exciting enough, Brian made the weekend fun, relaxed, and as stress free as he could for all of us who were a little nervous over the exams! This was my first IFTA event and I will be coming back for years to come as long as the quality of presenters, and education stays the same or gets better! Thanks Brian! Casey Snyder - El Paso TX

April 2007 Certification - Certification Workshops at Gold's Gym
Mr. Borden gave a clear, concise and thorough review of all of the studies, his practical was energetic and fun and he was a very personable and pleasant presenter. I was at ease and appreciated his excellent review. He made it comfortable and easy to take the certification exam. I went into the workshop/certification not knowing what to expect but his gracious and outgoing personality put me at ease. Thank you! Attendee - Wilmington, NC

April 2007 Presenter(s) - Jeff Borden-Sr. Surge DVD
Just want to send a message of good cheer to Jeff Borden. I am a 64 yr old "middle ager" who just purchased Senior Surge from Collage Video.
Senior Surge is the best and fastest 57 minute workout I have ever done. Jeff takes you through the paces with cheerful urging and motivating comments that keep it all moving. He makes a real contribution to the body of works in this area. I highly recommend it for all active seniors. It's a nice cross trainer with my tai chi and qi gong practice.
Thanks, Jeff, for a great workout... Anthony V. - NY

December 2006 Fitness Weekend - Brian Guzman, Greg Sims and Elizabeth Evans
What a weekend! There were so many choices and each one so valuable to any fitness professional wanting fresh ideas or a new perspective from some really enthusiastic, informed and cool presenters!
Brian blew away the classes with his sincere passion for making each workout an event, literally a show, to remember. He gave me a new set of eyes and ears to give my own classes just the boost they needed. He is able to show anyone the basic tools for putting together a fun and challenging routine.
Greg is always motivating and informative. He can take the workout to the next level and make it look easy!
Finally, I greatly enjoyed learning with Elizabeth. Her tips and upbeat personality made the time fly by!
It was a lot to do in one weekend, but worth every second! Maggie Hurley - EP Fitness , El Paso Texas

December 2006 Certification - Brian Guzman-cycling
The experience was great. Brian really tapped in how to make the class exciting and safe. He made the class fun and educational. At first I was scared of taking the class, but once I was there Brian made the experience fun. I would happily take another class given by Brian. Jessica Hernandez - Resler-El Paso Texas

December 2006 Fitness Weekend - Greg, Elizabeth, Brian
Wow!!!!!What an awesome weekend. Greg, Elizabeth, and Brian were great. I was able to complete all three days of training. Although I have to admit I thought I would die from it. I thought Greg, Elizabeth, and Brian were all very knowledgeable, motivational, and kept you wanting more. They really made me feel like I could keep going even though my body was screaming to hang on. I was so pumped up after that weekend. I was ready to start back on Monday and just pump the members up. You know, as instructors there are times we fall into the same routine and don't know how to get out of it. This weekend helped me get out of the routine and challenge not only my members but myself. I was able to get out of my comfort zone and try some new moves. I know that I personally like to push myself and my body to the limit and you-all sure did it for me. I was in pain for a whole week, but I loved it. Thank you for the great experience, and I hope to see you soon. Angie Morales - EP Fitness, El Paso, Texas, November, 2006

September 2006 Fitness Weekend - All of my classes
What a blast. Hundreds of like minded people all doing what they enjoy.
The Certification class was great, Carrie is a hoot as well as being an excellent instructor and just a great example of someone with the right mindset.
The partner yoga class was great, although I think Nora took a picture of me for a "do not let him into one of my quiet yoga classes again" warning.
Darrins class was very informative.
Keli, well Keli has earned the knickname "energizer bunny" after this weekend. Her lecture was great and then she proceded to beat me into submission over the next two days in the bodybar, Medicine Ball Plyo, and Tubing classes. Too much fun, too much energy.
Greg, your damn lean body tubing workout, don't let me grab the red bands next time, OK?
Jeff's functional fitness was excellent.
Gay's corepole upper body was a great intro to this method and then Greg and Jeff in the corepole explosion.. well I know why it's called that, because you are about to explode when it's over.
All in all, what fun and a great way to get the CEC's out of the way.
Hint to anyone thinking of attending one, space out the workout classes, because that's what they are, a serious workout each.
My wife loved all the yoga classes and the pilates certification. She has this warning, if you don't know Yoga or Pilates very well, take as many classes and read as many books, watch as many videos as you can. She spent months prepping for these and she said they are no cakewalk. Don't expect to walk in and pass without putting in a serious amount of time and effort. Which is the way it should be.
We hope to see you next time.
To all my partners in the classes, hey ladies you were all great to put up with me. Good luck. Charles - September - Raleigh Fitness Weekend

August 2006 Video - Body Recon Pro Step/ Kickbutt Kickbox Combos
Now that I am traveling more, it has been so much more difficult to keep up my workout routine. That's why I am so pleased with the excellent video/DVD's you offer. I am able to use my laptop computer/DVD player and get a great workout wherever I go. The workouts you offer are challenging without being too complicated to follow. I think it's great that you offer videos for all different exercise levels. I am able to measure my progress each time I use the videos. Thanks so much for offering such quality and variety at such a reasonable price. I look forward to adding more to my "travel" library Jamie Egan - Raleigh, NC

March 2006 Fitness Weekend - Jeff and Greg
I must say this was the most fun I have had in a while and a Fitness Event! It's a little late for me to write this, but just found out I could. Any who, these two presenters Jeff and Greg really pumped up the Jacksonville crowd and really made the trip enjoyable for us! These guys really had humor and know how to make things fun, but challenging! The three day fitness weekend was a huge success and had us sad to leave our favorite presenters! Mike Jones - January 2006 Fitness Weekend

January 2006 Fitness Weekend - Jeff Borden
Wow, what a weekend we had. Jeff was up to the challenge of a three day weekend of non-stop certifications and workshops in the cardio room the cycle room and the pool. We had a blast and it was fueled by Jeff. This is Jeff's second visit with us and everyone enjoyed his humor, his knowledge, and his teaching style. As the fitness director, you can be certain I'll be contacting Jeff Borden and IFTA again to provide us with great certifications/workshops at reasonable prices. Thanks, Jeff, see you soon in Hershey Pennsylvania. Karla Conta - Gold's Gym Hershey
