A summer of hard work
2014-10-13The course was very enjoyable and I made some good friends, the theory side was really difficult but doing the mocks on line was a great help.good luck to anyone doing the Pilates course, just make sure you have the time to focus on it.
Gym Instructor Training
2014-11-03I found the whole experience of following the Gym Instructor training easy to navigate and well supported. Admin staff were efficient in getting me signed onto the course and getting materials out in a timely fashion and the support tutors were enthusiastic, attentive and knowledgeable throughout.

The resources we offer aren’t just limited to a particular course or qualification. Our award-winning blog is frequently updated with career advice, workout inspiration, studies of industry trends and monthly interviews with fitness influencers, celebrities and professional sports people.
In our efforts to continually offer more, we’ve also partnered with a range of companies and brands who we believe share our core philosophies. These include industry-leaders FitPro, fitness equipment providers MAD Group, leading personal trainer management company Your Personal Training and more.
We want to give as many people as possible the chance to follow their passion and become more qualified fitness professionals.
