June 26, 2025Excellent Personal Trainer course! Shane, Shane and Jack did a fantastic job in the on-site workshop. They were very thorough on movement assessment, technique and programming (we spent 2 hours... read more just on foot, ankle, knee and hip mobility in squat). They were all very knowledgeable, engaged and happy to answer questions (even if it meant staying after the course already finished for an hour answering very specific technique questions). I couldn't recommend the course enough! Also their e-learning platform is excellent, with a lot of real-life videos and demonstrations.
