About World Fitness Association

World Fitness Association is a National Training and Certification center for Personal Trainers and Fitness Instructors that specializes in practical hands-on training. Unlike one-day or weekend certifications, upon completion of our WFA courses you will be "job ready" and in the best shape of your life.

Most people cross-train and cross-certify to increase income potential opportunities. Instructor courses are offered in: Group Fitness, Personal Training, Yoga, Spinning, Cardio Kick Boxing, Water Aerobics, Nutrition Consultant, and CPR.

Candy Colby, also known as "South Florida's First Lady of Fitness", founded World Fitness Association 29 years ago. Upon moving to South Florida Candy was the first to put exercise and calisthenics to music, in the 80's she called it "Jazz Aerobics." Candy started teaching classes in a rented room of a Church. Word spread about this new fitness program to local gyms, which at that point didn't even have Aerobic rooms, until Candy insisted they build them if they wanted her to teach there.

To meet the demand, Candy started training her best students to be instructors. Within a few years she was staffing nine (9) gyms and her instructors were running over 700 classes per week. The training of instructors was recognized as the best way to pass along her fitness foundation for healthy living.

Candy was offered her own TV show on the local ABC network in Miami. Her TV show was called "The Body Factory". It was a success and ran several days per week for 8 years. Since then WFA has trained and certified thousands of people of all ages to be Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors, as well as offering them job placement. Today, WFA certifies over 50 Personal Trainers a month and gets them jobs in the South Florida area.
