BLUE LINE FITNESS TESTING

This business that she started in 2019, and had some initial struggles, because things were going good until COVID happened an she was she down. But this Business is in full swing and she is looking to bring people in that are looking for Police, First-aid,  Fire Rescue, Border Patrol, Corrections, By-Law. Fitness Classes, Fire-arms, Mental Readiness, and Yoga classes.

The owner Nikki was a correctional officer for 15 years at the Edmonton Remand Center and the Red Deer Remand Center. A Manager who couldn't find staff that were fit enough to do the work. So she saw the availability to transfer her fitness skill with enforcement. She had also done fitness instructor positions as well as yoga.

She was not impressed with the enforcement fitness training  or testing experience, and felt that more direction could be given to the people who were looking to be tested. And has developed into personalized training, testing, fitness, nutrition,  and certifications. She is the first business of this kind of gym to be dedicated to this in Alberta..

She has wanted to incorporate a supportive and professionally directed program uniquely tailored to the experiences that she has been through in her career. The programs are designed to be able to make through testing and easily meet the expectations of the law enforcement roles. She personally had problems with fitness testing and saw a gap in the industry for her business.

They are running classes at colleges like MacEwan. She is doing full on ensuite training for the testing, like tips and tricks, complete customized fitness plans, with fitness analysis features in program.

Her business is going to also be providing full enforcement fitness training on how to pass the fitness training program at MacEwan. She is slowly becoming the name to train with before going and getting the test. 

BLUE LINE FITNESS TESTING BEGINS

My name is Nikki Cloutier, and I was a former correctional officer and manager in Alberta for almost two decades and am the founder and CEO of Blue Line Fitness Testing. I started this business because I saw the need for supportive, technical-based training and testing facilities and witnessed firsthand the overwhelming demand for physically fit individuals in first responder and law enforcement careers.

However, opportunities to bring people like this into these careers were severely lacking. As a certified fitness and yoga instructor for the past 17 years, I wanted to marry my love for fitness and motivation with my experience and tactical knowledge from law enforcement to provide these opportunities.

I love to work as hard as I can to ensure applicants and our clients have a personalized, supportive, and successful journey to the first responder career they dream of. It drives me to work even more when I am rewarded with success stories, messages, and photos of people selected for the position they were applying for.

We are continually growing, and we have been able to offer testing to over 2000 applicants in the past three years. We have maintained our dedicated facility to provide this testing and have grown our classes and increased our testing dates.

My biggest accomplishment as a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry was to step out and run with this dream of owning my own business and then be able to make it work over the past three years with minimal support while navigating a pandemic that targeted fitness businesses.

Established in 2019. With over 15 years of front-line and tactical experience in law enforcement and corrections, I saw the opportunity to start individuals on the path to a career in law enforcement through supportive full enforcement fitness training and testing.

With certification obtained from LEPAT (Law Enforcement Physical Abilities Testing), we are experts in standardized physical ability/fitness tests for the law enforcement community, whether it be police, border patrol, peace officers, sheriffs, or correctional officers. All our tests are based on valid and legally defensible research that conforms to the guidelines of current labor law and best practices in the USA and Canada.

Blue Line Fitness Testing offers the Correctional Officers Physical Abilities Test (COPAT), the Police Officer Physical Abilities Test (POPAT), the Sheriffs Officer Physical Abilities Test (SOPAT), and the Physical Abilities Requirement Evaluation (PARE), which are the physical fitness test requirements for careers in corrections, transit peace officers, municipal peace officers, Canadian Border Services Agents, and Sheriffs, as well as police officers.

As an added value, we offer practice test dates to allow you to try the full enforcement fitness training course, become familiar with the equipment and varying obstacles and ensure your fitness level is optimal before certification. We have personal trainers and dedicated fitness classes that can also assist you in getting to the required fitness level. Another option we offer is women-only testing which allows for a supportive and encouraging environment for women looking to get into a career in law enforcement.

We also offer Standard First Aid and CPR, and firearms certification classes allowing you to be fully certified and ready to begin your application process with a multitude of agencies.
