Overview
The Nova Scotia Fitness Association (NSFA) was formed in September 1989 as the Nova Scotia Fitness and Lifestyle Leaders' Association. Our goal is to provide a clear standard for fitness leadership quality in Nova Scotia. We’re a not for profit organization made up of fitness members and leaders across the province. The Association offers fitness certification for fitness leaders.
The NSFA provides national standards for fitness leadership training to Nova Scotians. Members of the NSFA are supported by a network that extends beyond provincial borders and stretches across Canada.
Our mission
The NSFA trains, certifies and supports fitness leaders and promotes fitness, active living and wellness throughout the province.
The variety of programming is extensive, allowing certifications in on-floor and aqua fitness, individual strength fitness, older adult populations, and now, for the first time in North America, youth fitness.
