IFPA Staff and Instructors,

I would like to thank you personally for your friendliness, professionalism, and most important for the opportunity for the distance training study. Thank you for your time in grading this test. My answers are long and somewhat redundant at times. This test was not used to just get a grade. I used this test to thoroughly answer the questions and explain further on some of the questions so, as with taking the test I would retain the knowledge by writing it down.  So…I do apologize for the lengthy answers, yet please remember, this is more that a test for me, it is a goal, a dream, it is a “calling”. So Thanks for your time! There is a blank page inserted between each page, because the lead was “bleeding” on the other sheet!

I was in a health club for four years as the owner watched me do two a days and never told me what I was doing wrong. I did many things wrong. I could have harmed myself. I didn’t, I was one of the lucky ones! I went to a major bookstore, bought several books and taught myself. Only then did I start to see results. I often think back to the owner of the Fitness Center…and I am baffled to understand why he would want to be in the profession…OH YE$…Duh MONEY! Needles to say I am no longer a member there! (Now for the worst part, the was a personal trainer…NOT IFPA trained of course!).

After studying this course, I found some discrepancy even in the exercise books, which I used! (one of the books was “Getting Stronger” by Bill Pearl) The book, I will continue to use, yet I will use the correct information/guidelines set by the IFPA. So thanks for the correct information! Education is a wonderful thing! Thanks to the IFPA! Knowledge is power! I must say your course was challenging and exciting. The chapter on muscle fiber type…wow! I made several trips to the library! Very interesting, the human machine! Intriguing! Thanks!.

I am looking forward to the other courses offered by the IFPA with excitement. I want always to seek knowledge, striving to be the best version of me! My quote is “Accept the challenge so that you feel the exhilaration of victory!” I love the criteria set by the IFPA, the education, the “calling which I totally believe it is …and the strict code of conduct. To this, I say thank you. I screamed when I read Abraham Maslow, psychological theories of the “hierarchy of needs”. It is so true---self-actualization I had been discussing this with friends and to see it in print! It was phenomenal! This course was so much more than I expected… so again to the staff I say THANK YOU.

I am a career oriented female with 14 years in outside sales. I would strive to be an asset to the IFPA and represent your organization to the best of my ability. I am self-motivated, dependable, committed, reliable thorough, (sometime to thorough as you read the practical) and efficient. I built my business on cold calls and I have maintained the same customer base throughout the years. I love people! I believe life is a spectator sport. I have learned to watch and listen, people are fascinating and funny!

My goal as well as my quote that goes on all my business cards/letters it sums up the person that I am. The quote that is typed on my business card and business letters is this:

Earning the right to do business with you!

First, it is a dream…then it is a goal! At first dreams seem impossible…then improbable…then eventually inevitable!
