Glenn B. Gero, Naturopathic Doctor

"As a naturopathic doctor, I employ a variety of natural therapies. While these therapies can be quite restorative and effective in stabilizing victims of cancer, my practice will now take on a new perspective now that I’ve completed your program. You have elevated the role of exercise and cancer survival to a level that nobody else has, and your ability to communicate this message is superb. Every doctor, trainer, physical and occupational therapist should be armed with this critical information."

Marcia Jones, Special Programs Manager - Avera McKennan Hospital Fitness Center

"I recommend the Cancer Exercise Training Institute for the OncoVie™ Cancer Exercise Specialist Advanced Qualification.

"I took the ASCM cancer trainer certification last fall. Yours was WAY more practical, and helped me to pass my ASCM! Other fitness managers have been referred to me, asking which certification they should have their trainers take. Your program teaches a Trainer how to work with cancer clients. ACSM is simply a test of knowledge. Thanks for your efforts. I am one Trainer who cares, and so do my clients. They think I am the one and only expert on cancer and exercise thanks to you!"
