What our previous students think...

"I've always enjoyed the gym, now I'm a personal trainer too!"

Casey Smith, Bristol, studied - Personal Fitness Trainer Level 3

"I've been going to the gym religiously for 3 years and it made sense for me to share my experience and knowledge with other people and try and keep them motivated to stay in shape.

I'd looked at some fitness training courses at an old-fashioned college but it was hard to get to and it didn't run the course at a time and day that would work for me, then I spotted this course.

It covers the same subjects as the local college course and carries a similar qualification, but I could study it from home and chat to my tutor about my assignments and even get advice on how to begin my career as a personal trainer. I enjoyed it a lot."

"Push yourself more and motivate others!"

Julia Hadlington, Cardiff, studied - Personal Fitness Trainer Level 3

"I had a personal trainer when I started training at the gym a couple of years back (I like to stay in shape!). I thought that it would be perfect to learn how to motivate someone and use different techniques to get the best out of people.

Although I don't want to actually become a fitness trainer, it's given me a lot of techniques that I can apply in the gym to push myself further, and the motivational techniques can be applied to other areas like managing your own staff - when you're a team leader you very often need to know how to get the best out of people."

"Injury rehabilitation was very interesting"

Brian Kelly, Tamworth, studied - Personal Fitness Trainer Level 3

"Same as the other reviewers here... I love going to the gym but I love sports as well so the section about sports injury rehabilitation has proved useful, particularly as I play 5-a-side footy every week.

The business planning information is great if you do want to work full-time as a Personal Fitness Trainer, I wasn't sure how I would go about becoming self-employed so this was ideal. "
