Learning Outcomes

The fitness industry is evolving all the time and being a personal trainer isn’t enough to stand our from the crowd. We want to help you become a coach and eventually help you find a niche within the industry to succeed, just like ours is working with people who have been injured or are injured. The important part is all of the skills and theory you learn are understood and can apply them to become the best coach you can be.

'What I hugely admire about G2G is how the coaches take such an interest in their clients from the minute they get to know them...my coach Donnie Macfadyen would read up on the Parachute Regiment/anecdotes about Army life or find documentaries to watch such as the P company test series on YouTube to grasp a stronger understanding of what the physical demands entailed. This would then create a talking point for both of us and to me it really showed that he cared about where I wanted to go. Having said that I noticed in my training sessions all the coaches at G2G show the same interest and passion towards their members. '
