Extremely professional
Extremely professional, caring and team orientated. The culture at Blue Line is what you would expect, professional, caring and extremely motivating. Easy to find site with multiple testing opportunities, great atmosphere promoted within while running a test. The ability to run practise tests and the level of enthusiasm was key for myself being successful after several years away from diligent exercise. A real life changing experience, with long term commitment to their clients. I would recommend this facility to any new recruit, returning professional or re-qualification candidate. …
Gold
Nikki is gold tier for Pare testing. She gives tips, encouragement, and guidance that make the whole process easier and way more comfortable. I would send all of my co-workers to her in an instant.
Highly recommended
Thank you!
The practice session was very good, good trainer and felt like real exam experiences. It involved practice on each steps by trainer helping how to do it within the time frame on each step and finally when ready I got a chance more than twice to to a full test which was time. At the end productive feed back was given on my shortcomings and weaknesses and let me practice more on the areas where I need more attention. Moreover there was no time constraints on time factor as I was able to do practice in the real test environment as long as I wished and needed. Overall the COPAT practice test session was awesome. My sincere thanks to the Blue Line Fitness Testing organizer, trainer and the CEO.
Thank you Nikki
Definitely recommend
The staff at blue line fitness are very warm and welcoming! I’d definitely recommend using them for any testing needs you have.
Goes the extra mile
BLFT is awesome! Nikki is amazing and goes the extra mile for people who come get testing. By far the best place to go in Edmonton (And Alberta!) Thank you Nikki for being such a great leader!
So glad I found them
Professionalism, Quality
Great place to get your testing done!
Great feedback
I highly recommend Blue Line Fitness Testing. Nikki is a great coach to have for pointers on how to be efficient and provide positive feedback on how to make improvements to reduce your test course time.
Test Titans
I have a pleasure to write a review about my online experience of Test Titans program held on 26 May-2020. Actually it was very helpful to reduce my stress and anxiety by way of breathing exercise, imagination of wonderful memory and meditating with breathing exercises that dramatically reduces the stress and anxiety that I had for my COPAT and other exams anxiety. I thank you and the instructor for performing this workshop which has helped me reduce my exam anxiety which I not only used during the practices during the workshop but also I owned it throughout my life which I will be practicing the methods learnt whenever I felt necessary tomorrow and in the near future.
Test Titans is amazing!
The Titans Program is amazing!! I got a lot out of it! I learned lots! I picked up great tips on “breathing” & how to de-stress!
Standard First Aid & CPR certification
Professionalism at its best!
I highly recommend Blue Line Fitness for any testing or certifications. This is such a professional company that genuinely cares about your success. Nikki is so passionate about what Blue Line Fitness offers and it shines through. Nikki is genuinely one of the kindest, most encouraging people you could meet, her level of professionalism is top notch. Nikki is one bad ass woman and Blue Line Fitness should really be your only option!!

Safe and Motivating!
I am writing in support of your company of which I attended your COPAT official testing in December 2020 just before restrictions were about to make testing impossible. What speaks to the character of this institution is the fact that Nikki the owner/operator put herself on the line to get spots for all applicants that wanted to be tested before the Covid health rules made it impossible to do any further testing. This positive attitude was carried forward when I met her in person just prior to the testing. The test site was clean and devoid of any hazards and Nikki made a very clear effort to demonstrate the course and offer tips and tricks to help shave off any unwanted seconds. During the administration of the testing Nikki and her helper both assisted to once again guide and offer much needed intense encouragement to those being tested, myself included, so that candidates were able to put forth their best efforts. It is my recommendation that if someone wants to succeed in a required test for law enforcement agencies that they look no further than utilizing Nikki’s company for workshop preparation courses and test administration.

Open Communication and Motivation
I had a great experience with a PARE test in this facility. Nikki is very open and communicates very clearly what the test consist of and guides you during the test as well. I must say that if it wasn’t for her and couple other people cheering for me I would have failed the test. They made me push myself and I passed the test. 🙂 Thanks guys! Highly recommended!
-Sasa D
Blue Blood Program is Awesome!
I really LOVVVEEEE Nikki and her awesome team! Ever since day 1, I have felt motivated and encouraged. I have seen a lot of progress especially when I took the blueblood program! I feel at home with lots of support from Nikki and everyone. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
-Claire
Clean and Well Organized
The fitness test was well organized, and equipment was thoroughly disinfected between each participant. Nikki was amazing, she was motivating and pushed everyone to do their best on the test.
-Helena F
Blue Line Fitness Testing should be your only Choice!
Nikki was amazing. She is inspiring and makes you believe you can do it even if you are having doubts because it’s been so long since you ran a PARE. Her attitude is infectious and I wish I had found her years ago. Doing PARE tests throughout your career in law enforcement is a reality if your looking to expand your horizons and Nikki is the first step up. Highly recommend her. If I had known of her services before, I would never have given a dime to other testing centers in my career.
-Dana H
Only person I will run PARE’s with
Industry experienced instructor who knows what she’s doing. Will only run PARE’s with Nikki for any future competitions.
-Chris V
10 stars out of 5!
Nikki was amazing! I’ve recommended her to so many people I know in the Law Enforcement Community. Nikki puts her heart into everything she does and everyone she works with. I rate Nikki a 10/5 Stars!
-Shanika P
Great place to run COPAT
My experience at Blue Line Fitness was great. The staff were very professional and the set-up of the centre was great. Despite the fact that I didn’t pass the COPAT when I ran it, it was a great centre to run it at, and I will definitely book here again if another fitness test is required. Thanks
-Steven W
Helpful, Hilarious and Encouraging!
So happy I went here to do my COPAT. Nikki was extremely helpful, hilarious and encouraging. I loved it. Thank you so much!
-Sarah M
Practice and Official Testing
Nikki (the owner) is great! She helped me to prepare for the PARE during my practice run and gave constructive criticism on my technique. Her instruction and help allowed me to do great on the test two weeks later! I passed with a time of 3:54!! Thanks Nikki!
-Thomas R
Extremely Knowledgable
I love it. The staff are really positive, optimistic, and have a tremendous level and amount of knowledge regarding physical fitness, health, diet excercise. Also Blue Line Firness has knowledge and experience of how to overcome mental and physical obstacles that may prevent a person from passing thd PARES and thd COPAT exams. For example Blue Line Fitness provides a person with knowledge and practice sessions on how to achieve successful long jumps, sessions and provides techniques for success on the push pull stations. Also Blue Line Fitness has excellent excercise programs which I find are really beneficial and have helped me pass the PARES. Finally Blue Line Fitness staff are all former law enforcement so they all have a knowledge on arrest techniques, law enforcement fitness training and knowledge about what it takes to pass Law Enforcement, Sheriff’s and Peace Officer exams. Blue Line Fitness is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.
-James R.
Above and Beyond!
Nikki is an absolute unit as well as her guest instructor. Fully explained what was needed and where common faults happen. I felt fully prepared and supported before, during and after the testing. I mistakenly left my boots at her shop and Nikki was even kind enough to send them down to Calgary for me. I don’t review things much but this business and owner get 5/5 from me.
-Josh R.
Highly Recommend and Will be coming back!
Highly recommend Blue Line Fitness Testing for any certification and professional needs! Nikki is extremely helpful and professional; she pushes you to perform to the best of your abilities and helps to be successful throughout the process! Will definitely be coming back for my accreditation needs!
-Taras I.
APREP Training was AWESOME!
I loved my experience with Blue Line Fitness Testing! Nikki accommodated to my needs, she was enthusiastic, she was welcoming! She helped me with the techniques and she motivated me! Overall, I had a fantastic experience. Highly Recommended! If I ever have to practice for some testing again, I will 100% go back to Blue Line Fitness Testing!
-Mia S
Good vibes and Encouragement!
Needed to get a PARE done quick time and Blue Line Fitness Testing was clutch. Got me in before the lock down with minimal paperwork but with a high level of communication. I got good vibes from the place and instructors. Test anxiety was dampened by tips and encouragement. Was the easiest test I’ve run, can’t say enough! Thanks again 🙂

Safe, Clean and Knowledgeable
Blue Line Fitness Test and Nikki Cloutier in particular were absolutely wonderful. Ms. Cloutier was COVID-19 safe and took all the measures to sanitize the equipment and provide a space that her participants felt safe and comfortable. Ms. Cloutier provided detailed instruction for the fitness test course as well as the necessary tips, pointers, and in test direction that helps every participant before your test. You are given ample time to warmup and practice the course before hand. She wants you to succeed and pass even though the reality is that many wont due to the vigorous nature of the tests provided. Knowing that, I would encourage all to take a practice session with Blue Line Fitness and Ms. Cloutier so you know where you stand before you test and to feel comfortable and confident when you test. At the end of your testing, Ms. Cloutier sits down in private with all the participants and walks you through the details of your individuals test and the results. It’s the perfect environment for your testing, it’s professional, and it’s a local business. So if you are thinking about where you should take your test, I would encourage you to give your business to Blue Line Fitness.
-Brendan A
Nikki is the BEST!
I cannot describe how professional, well presented and how it was worth every second being there. After arrival and preparations, we were given a tour of the equipment present and the opportunity to practice on all items which was awesome and incredibly helpful! Great encouragement by staff during the test which helps tremendously. Upon completion of the test you are provided with tips on what could be improved and the exercises to help with the improvements. I would highly recommend Blue Line, hands down the best in the city. For any official or practice testing I will be going back there for sure. Nikki you’re the best!
-Isaac B.
Worth the Drive from Calgary!
I have ran my PARE test about 6 times now with 3 different companies. The most recent two were with Blue Line and they have been my best experiences by far. The environment is amazing, the other runners will cheer for you while you run and Nikki is the best. She will guide you through the entire test while you’re running it. When it gets hard and you feel like giving up she will yell, cheer, and encourage you to push through the pain to your absolute limit so you pass the test. The environment contributes so much to your success in the test. Even if you’re in Calgary this is worth the drive, it’s the best place to run by far.

Best Experience Ever!
My experience with Nikki and Blue Line Fitness Testing was awesome. As I came from Northern BC to do a PARE fitness test, Nikki was very accommodating, allowing an early departure to the airport afterwards. Having done a few PARE tests at various locations, this was by far my best experience. All activities were explained well, the staff were encouraging and supportive, and the overall vibe throughout the morning was awesome! I highly recommend Nikki and Blue Line Fitness Testing if you are looking to complete a PARE, COPAT, SOPAT or POPAT fitness test.

Mighty Titans Classes Helped!!
Blue Line Fitness Testing is phenomenal! Nikki and her team love what they do and it shows in the dedication and support they give everyone in testing and in classes. After attempting the test more than once, Nikki remembered me right away even months later! She really does care about your success and will do what she can to help you train and succeed. The facility was also great, with a large, clean, open testing area, and a convenient location just off the main highway. Highly recommend testing and training with them!
Regarding fitness classes: Tanysha is a great trainer for anyone, at any level of fitness! Her Mighty Titans Fitness Sessions at Blue Line Fitness are a great workout combining cardio and strength training. She will work with you to help you find your fitness baseline and then push beyond it, to where you need to be for the best results! Tanysha is great to work with, is patient, fun, and always changing up her workouts to keep you engaged and challenged. Training with her helped me get to the next level of fitness needed to pass the test. Highly recommend the fitness classes!
Carrie G
Amazing classes and trainer!
I’ve been taking the mighty titans class regularly for a few months and it is amazing.Tanysha does a fantastic job making the workout fun and challenging all well Tailoring the exercises towards getting you ready for your test. I would recommend it to anyone looking for test prep or even just a great workout!
Never Go Anywhere Else!
I will never go anywhere else for my fitness testing. Staff are switched on and know their stuff. Previously, I always did my testing through post secondary institutions but not anymore.
The amount of time and energy that was spent by Blue Line instructors ensuring that I could maximize my efforts and shave precious seconds was greatly appreciated and demonstrates their professional commitment to making their clients successful.
Kudos to Blue Line Fitness.

Make the Trip – It’s worth it!
Made the flight down from Yellowknife to do my PARE, great place and organized. Positive the whole time and such a good energy!
Arsen K
Fantastic Company!
Fantastic company with a knowledgeable owner who genuinely has a passion for her area of expertise. Can’t recommend highly enough for PARE, COPAT, and corresponding prep work!

5 STARS
I took my PARE fitness test with Nikki at Blue Line Fitness testing and I could not be happier with my experience. I have done this test at other facilities but none compare to the atmosphere at Blue Line. I had COVID this year and being able to complete this type of fitness test showed me that anything is possible. Nikki was amazing through the whole test. When I thought my tank was running empty I thought I don’t think I’m going to make it…but then I heard a voice and that voice was none other than Nikki not only telling me where to run to next but she helped push me beyond what I thought was my limit, she showed me and encouraged me to push myself right to the end. I am happy to say that if it wasn’t for Nikki and the Blue Line family I would not have been able to complete the PARE. I will not forget this experience as I continue my journey into becoming a Peace Officer. Thank you again Nikki and all of the Blue Line Family.

Great place!!
Thank you Nikki and all the staff at Blue line. It was intense but you guys made it way easier for me! By clearly spelling out the rules of the Testing and all that encouragement as I tested.

Amazing Experience!
It was such an amazing experience. It was my first time for the PARE Test, I never knew how it would be until I came to Blue Line Fitness gym besides YouTube videos that I’ve seen. It’s such an amazing place, the equipment and how clean the gym is. As I entered Blue Line fitness I felt like way back at my younger age (smiling even I knew it’s gonna be a little tough a little) when I was a soccer player Germany…
The way Nikki coaches everyone to get their goals is fantastic. Her voice is loud and clear. I really enjoyed it and will highly recommend everyone that need to do their PARE/COPAT test.
Job Well Done!!
Attended Blue Line Fitness for a PARE test and found this to be an excellent experience. Nikki demonstrates a passion for helping applicants by providing initial clear, concise instructions prior to testing. She engaged the entire group of applicants to participate and cheer on each test. Nikki coached each person through the testing procedure with great enthusiasm and direction throughout. She wants every applicant to be successful at their endeavours and this was evident throughout the evening.
Each person was debriefed individually at the conclusion of the testing where Nikki provided valuable feedback detailing strengths, effort and room for improvement for all applicants.
Fantastic Experience!!
I ran my first PARE at Blue Line Fitness Testing recently and my experience was fantastic. Nikki was very knowledgeable, providing us with a full run through of the course beforehand, and giving us tips and tricks to ensure we can be successful. The overall environment was encouraging, positive, and inclusive. Even though I felt nervous coming in, Nikki made me feel more at ease and she is there to guide you throughout the entire test. This place also offers more testing dates than other agencies, and tries to accommodate you as best as they can. I would highly recommend Blue Line Fitness Testing!
Excellent experience!
I had a great experience during my PARE test on 2024, February 13 at BLUE LINE. The staff was excellent in explaining the course lay out and they were there to guide and encourage you along during your test run.
The scheduling process was efficient and to the point and easy to follow. Over all I had a positive and rewarding experience with BLUE LINE. They do treat you like family.
