  Loved the face to face days I experienced for the YMCA Level 2 and 3. It was fun, packed and immersive. Abbee is a standout teacher who can answer almost any question. Where she didn’t know the answer she’d come back to you in a short time period. Thank you so much!

  Higher Diploma in Personal Training course I would highly recommend the Higher Diploma in Personal Training course (Level 2 Gym Instructing, Level 3 Personal Training, plus First Aid and additional CPD qualifications). Having now completed the course, I am incredibly glad that I chose this route over a purely online qualification. The balance between classroom learning, practical gym-based work, coursework, and examinations made the whole experience feel much more rounded and reflective of the real fitness industry. A huge strength of the course is the practical element. A lot of the learning takes place in the onsite gym, where you work directly with classmates to plan and deliver PT sessions to one another. That hands-on experience gave me far more confidence than I think I would have gained through online study alone. The instructors were excellent throughout: knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students understand the material properly, rather than simply teaching toward an exam. It is definitely an intensive course and requires real commitment. Attendance standards are high and the workload can be demanding, but honestly, I think that adds a lot of credibility to the qualification. You genuinely feel that you have earned it by the end. I also want to give particular credit to the student support team. Throughout the process, including onboarding, marking, feedback, and qualification support, the staff consistently went above and beyond to help whenever issues arose. In particular, thank you to Bubacarr, Nick, and the wider support team for all the assistance provided throughout the course. Overall, a challenging but genuinely worthwhile qualification that I would absolutely recommend to anyone serious about pursuing a career in personal training.

  I attended YMCA Fit's Olympic Weightlifting hybrid learning course in April. There was some online study before the course, and a 90 minute virtual session on the first weekend which was very informative and set the structure. This prepared me for the following weekend where I attended face to face sessions on Saturday and Sunday. The venue was great. The classroom was accommodating and the gym had Olympic lifting facilities which supported the workshops. Glen, our tutor, was clearly knowledgeable in both theory and practical delivery across both days. It was a great course and has given me a strong foundation to build on for my journey into Olympic weightlifting as part of my ongoing professional development as a personal trainer.

  A very thorough and interactive session. Trevor showed great enthusiasm and knowledge when teaching and I learned a lot. Gained a lot of confidence in teaching a boxercise class and cannot wait to get going with it!

• Michael McKenzie ★★★★★

  I thought Trevor was very engaging and welcoming from the start. Which was helpful as it helped me understand how to approach the course. I now feel confident enough to take the information and use it in the real world! Excellent!
