Learning Fitness Virtually – Is it for me?
No matter what type of learning you are; kinesthetic, visual or auditory, this program is for you, as it checks off all the boxes for all learners. Our instructors are expected to accommodate all learning styles, and being that they’ve all come from a traditional instruction environment, they are experts at ‘engaging the room’, whether it be a physical classroom or a virtual one.
Kinesthetic learners (ie. ‘doers’)
need not worry.This program is as ‘hands-on’ as can be. It’s not unusual for our students to sweat at least once during a class, through the various demonstrations they’re instructed to follow along with, and/or through trying out various activities for themselves. Plus partner and group work is easier than ever with our virtual classroom’s ‘break-out rooms.
Visual learners (ie. ‘seers’)
need not worry. Between almost daily power-point presentations, demonstrations, a graphics-filled textbook, videos, and seeing your instructors’ and peers’ faces at every class, your visual senses will be satisfied, for sure!
Auditory learners (ie. ‘listeners’)
need not worry. Being that classes are all based on live instruction, and that there is plenty of opportunities for students to ask questions and for all to hear instructors’ answers to not just your own, but to all questions, auditory learners shall be quite pleased.

ELA’s Virtual Classroom vs. Other Online Courses
ELA’s Virtual Classroom
What's included?
- Very few differences from taking a course in a regular classroom. We believe with being hands-on and engaging with our students.
- Theory and application are in balance: Every class includes both, learning of theory its application into practice. Be ready to move, feel, maybe even sweat.
- Live engagement & support: Whether it’s live group engagement, or individual support in a private setting, both are available and applied with all students.
- Plenty of structure and accountability: Just like taking a program at any reputable post-secondary educational institutions, there’s a strict schedule of class attendance and assignment completion.

Typical Online Courses
What's included?
- Most courses involve self-directed learning from a book and then, simply, the writing of a test.
- Little or no application: There are no practical or hands-on components to most online courses.
- Independent learning: In most courses, there is zero interaction with an instructor and/or fellow students.
- Students learn at their own pace, leading to high incompletion rate: Although, for most of us, learner-driven education may sound appealing at first glance, it doesn’t really work, unfortunately.
- Lacks regulatory & industry recognition: Beware! Most online certification courses are developed by non-regulated private companies that do not guarantee quality or accuracy of curriculums.
