Our students range in age from 17-75, and we help them become certified instructors (BCRPA & other) in their chosen fitness discipline. If you’re looking to learn, have fun, and become employed in the fitness industry (or perhaps increase your skills for a better position), we’re here to make it happen.
Phys-X is one of Canada’s leading fitness training services in Vancouver. From our boutique fitness facility in North Vancouver , the Alchemy Wellness Center, we help people of all ages, and from all walks of life, become certified instructors across a wide variety of fitness and wellness disciplines.

We strive to make fitness instructor training accessible and simple. We’ve navigated the path for you, and present our courses as a complete service to getting you certified (BCRPA and other). We’re continually adding new courses, topics, and services, and make it a point to actively listen to our clients.
