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.

'Within two months of starting this season I have gained a lifetime personal best performance and achieved a Scottish record in my sport. In addition there have been other gains I was not expecting; the patellar tendinitis I have had in both knees for over 20 years has all but disappeared, (I can play squash again, which I thought was gone forever), chronic lower back pain has eased and I definitely don’t fatigue as easily. A small downside is that I have had to buy new belts as none of my existing ones are small enough. I have dropped 15kg and 4 inches off my waist in the last 4-5 months.'
