Testimonial
by Jane MacKenzie, AMAC, UK. Aqua Trainer, Note to
Fitpro UK, Written by Jane MacKenzie....
AMAC will be hosting an aqua workshop presented by
Charlene Kopansky from Canada. She is the founder of
CALA and known all over the world for her pioneering
work within water based exercise. She will be delivering
2 workshops on Sunday 20th March 2011 at Beckenham Spa.
The titles are ‘Longevity with Vim and Vigour’ &
‘Exploration of Space and Time in Water’. We are
extremely lucky for her to fit in a workshop in England
as she is currently very busy presenting all over the
world and has not been to England since October 2009. I
have been lucky enough to have worked alongside Charlene
in the past at an Aqua Conference in England and she is
truly an inspirational educator and ambassador for
exercise in the water. I want to make sure as many
people within the fitness industry are aware of this
workshop and have the opportunity to attend. The last
workshop she delivered here was not near London and we
have chosen a venue which will allow a large amount of
instructors easy access to this event.
We are currently
working on the promotional material for the workshop
which will have a photo of Charlene on it. I know she
has recently spent some time in Israel taking the CALA
qualifications to them and hosts several conferences at
different locations around the world. If you look on her
web site you will see that there is a very active
educational programme across Canada and other parts of
the world.
I can’t tell you how
excited I am to be able to offer instructors in England
the opportunity to experience this high standard of
education from Charlene for the Aqua industry. Amac
training, who I work for, are an educational provider in
Kent and therefore always looking at how we can help
instructors grow and improve their skills and this
workshop is one way to do this for them. As a member of
Fitpro myself I know that you will be able to reach so
many more instructors than we will alone.

Congratulations on
presenting the absolutely best conference of any sort
that I have ever attended....it was just
fantastic!!! Between you and Karl, the two of you
presenting were awesome...great interaction, and a great
learning experience for all who attended. I loved the
yoga, very well done, and the kickboxing! I was at a
workshop in Calgary, I believe it was in 2000, downtown
Calgary, and you introduced, I think it was just
'boxing' and you said, 'giving and receiving' energy
then....I have been doing a bit of that in the last few
years, but that segment refreshed my knowledge and gave
me a new take on the whole exercise, so thank you.
Your 'sexy' class in the shallow pool was really
wonderful too....I just loved those moves, hope I can
come at least somewhere close in my classes....my first
time for ages in the deep pool with a 'belt' really had
a hard time staying upright, I always use a noodle in
deep water, and that darn belt, well, I won't go into
that......Thanks again for the great weekend conference,
wish I could have done the water running too..
Compliments again to all of it....Marge Pollard
