They were extremely helpful and sorted out any issues I had extremely quickly.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in fitness, regardless of their experience. It's easy to follow the stages of the course and Jono guides you through each section with detailed information and informative videos. The tests at the end of each section are good and they do not try and trip you up and check on the knowledge you have gained. I like the fact that you get a video and notes for each section as well as been able to do the coursework at your own convenience. Overall I have no hesitation in recommending the course to others.
Just completed the programming essentials course and it was really informative and very engaging! As a newly qualified PT it was great to boost my knowledge on programming for my clients. Would recommend this course to all PTs who are in the same boat and just wanted to delve a little deeper in the subject
This was a great course it caters for types of learning abilities and there's always a tutor online to speak. Overall would give 10/10 and ill will be doing my level 3 with them as well
I live in the Uk and work a full time job. The level 3 Mat Pilates course that I have just completed was very informative and allowed you to complete each module at your own pace, with multiple choice tests at the end of each section to ensure understanding of the topic. Despite the course being only online, it had various methods of learning which included videos, presentations and Pilates classes to join in.
This course is suitable for both those with pre existing fitness knowledge and those completely new to the industry. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering becoming a Pilates instructor 👍🏻
Did the Resistance Bands course, definitely covered all areas! Very informative. Thanks all the way from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I highly recommend it
Loved the course. Enjoyed the detail the process and how everything was broken down

The instructor knowledge and passion was very clear and yes, this is Online Education but it was kept engaging and topical along with the interactive quiz at every section Very enjoyable
I am a founder of Moving with Markie - PT and fitness coaching enterprise in Folkestone, SE England. I completed Training Older Adults Level 1.
