I’d highly recommend taking your PARE/COPAT/etc tests at Blue Line. Running my PARE with Phil was a great experience! Phil was a great motivator, and absolutely knew what he was doing. As long as you’re in good shape and will listen to the instructors cues, tips, and commands, you’ll pass your test. You’ll start running your test about an hour or an hour and a half into the allotted time window, so bring a light, high-carb snack for before you run (especially if your last name is towards the end of the alphabet).
Overall a great experience, I plan on running all future fitness tests here.

I have had the pleasure of completing two PARE evaluations in the past two years at Blueline as required by my employer. I have been totally impressed with the testing facility and the process of testing. Both Nikki and Phil provide exceptional and clear instructions prior to and during testing. Both also have a passionate attitude and encourage all participants to accel during the tests. Excellent feedback post testing is also top notch!

Thanks to all in all in incredible staff and great professionalism and supportive community at Blue Line Fitness.

I am not the type of person to leave reviews especially any negative, but the Ma’am over the phone was condescending. The situation was that I needed a refund on the study guide because of some desperate personal reasons, She refused to hear me out or be understanding. I really hope that no one else has to experience that sort of customer service.
I called the same day during your business hours to sort it out but nobody answered the call, and I just looked over the invoice I got in my email, there is nothing in it regarding refunds, that is why I called.

My experience at Blue Line Fitness was amazing! If you are unsure about your fitness level, just book a fitness session with Phil ,he is a great fitness trainer. I hadn’t been to a gym or focused on physical fitness for over six years.
At first, I was completely drained within 10-15 minutes while running . But after taking just three sessions, it took me less than a month to pass my PARE exam. With his tips, guidance, and strategies to improve myself, I was able to pass on my first attempt.
Nikki is also such a amazing personality ,she motivates you and truly does her best to make sure you pass the course. She corrects you right away if you are going too fast or too slow, making sure you stay on track.
I am really thankful to both Phill and Nikki !they made a huge difference in my journey. If you are lucky as me you might get a pare cough for free:)

This is going to be fairly lengthy sorry about that but I have only good to say about blue line fitness. I started my journey trying to pass the PARE test in March 29, 2025. I ended up with a little over a six minute time. This made me so disappointed I was thoroughly disgusted. WTH. I’ve been working out usually 20 minute bike rides runs swimming, dumbbell weights, and stretches. Also doing a flight of 30 stairs near an outdoor centre where I live. Also, I’ve been making a commitment with staying away from junk foods, burgers, fries, alcohol, and getting into fruits vegetables and usually 30 minute walks every night, but alas, it was not to be for now. It was obvious I needed to do more work on this to pass the PARE test.
Then came Phil Moreau Blue Line Fitness Trainer. Phil was very patient and professional and helped me with his wealth of knowledge to build on a consistent habit of getting out and doing more interval training.
This all paid off immensely, although it took four more tries to get it done. I wish all the best to fill as he is one of the finest trainers I have ever come across. And to Nikki for your patience with my Stone Age computer skills. You guys are the best love you God bless .

I was in the experienced class for PARE and was done very quickly. I love doing the PARE on Astro Turf. Phil is a great Test Administrator. Very professional.
