The success of any educational program can be generally determined by how well the program met its established goals and learning objectives. Based on the results from the evaluation, the FIT service-learning program was successful (4). This educational training program implemented as a service-learning opportunity not only bridged the gap between theory and practice for student personal trainers but also provided an excellent teaching/learning environment with direct hands-on experiences for them, allowed for regular evaluation and feedback regarding their practical skills, and emphasized the importance of developing important pedagogical skills necessary in the preparation of quality personal fitness trainers.Because of the success of this pilot program, USF's exercise science program has permanently incorporated FIT into its curriculum and will continue to measure its effectiveness on important student learning outcomes. It is likely that academic programs as well health/fitness facilities are using pedagogical approaches similar to FIT; however, the prevalence of these programs is unknown. Future research is needed not only to investigate how prevalent these programs are but also to determine if the effectiveness of these programs has been measured.
