Didn't think it was possible to learn so much in one course

Brent and his team came to my rescue after I enrolled with a different provider who unfortunately were not equipped to teach the course.

From day one with Mesa, Brent has been 100% supportive; frequently checking in, and always on hand to answer any questions or address any concerns. I felt thoroughly supported and guided throughout the entire course, and even now feel assured that he is still on hand for advice in the future.

The actual course days were just the right combination theory and practical, and our coursework was marked quickly and valuable feedback given.

During the practical sessions Brent and Stu were there for support where needed, and also made the sessions and assessments a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

My advice to anyone would be choose these guys as you can guarantee you will learn from the best.

Not only will you leave a knowledgeable and confident fitness professional, but also fully prepared with all the tools needed to be a success in the industry.

Loved every minute, met great people - couldn't recommend any higher.

Thanks Team MESA.

MESA!

After a compelling call from Brent, I was extremely excited to start my personal training course with MESA. Although delayed due to covid restrictions, it more than lived up to my expectations! Brent made the class feel comfortable straight away and after the first weekend of classes/practical work I was keen to go back and learn more. Over the 7/8 weeks, I learned so much about the business and Brent made sure we knew all of the options for after we qualify which was really helpful. For our assessments, stu made us feel very much at ease but the guys ensured we were fully prepared for everything and we had a relaxed yet exciting experience. I would 100% recommend MESA to anyone who is thinking about becoming a PT.

I Recommend this training provider

Mesa saved the day when my original course provider cancelled their programme 7 weeks into my course!

Mesa communicated clearly and professionally.

The course leader was engaging and experienced and very supportive.

I learnt a lot. I found it interesting, new, relevant. I was encouraged.

The course venue at Didsbury was ideal - big, clean, lots of varied kit.

The price was what I expected to pay for a L2 and L3 qualification.

The group of people
On my Course we’re really nice. There was a helpful team approach to learning and working together.

Could not recommend MESA enough!!

After months and months of wanting to start a career in the fitness industry but not knowing where to start and who to go with, I got put in touch with Brent. The wait was more than worth it. The weekends together were absolutely brilliant, Brent and Stu can’t do enough for you, and the knowledge they give you going forward to ensure you are fully prepared for your career is second to none, and the level of teaching is top class. Made friends for life, and I feel confident in my approach for the career switch I’ll be making very soon. Hugely recommend MESA to anybody wanting to get started in the game.

I cannot recommend MESA enough.

I had thought about doing a Personal Training course for a while and finally decided to take the plunge. I’m so glad I chose MESA. Brent is a fantastic tutor, incredibly knowledgeable, with a true passion for what he does. He is always available to help with any questions you may have and goes above and beyond for his students. I know I have continued support even after the course has finished.

The course itself has been such a fun and amazing journey, I’m actually sad it’s over! I’ve made some great friends and learnt so much; a truly an invaluable experience.

Thank you Brent & Stu 💛

DO IT!!

From the first phone call to the last practical session I knew I’d picked the right course to get my PT qualification. Brent and Stu are brilliant, the support from these guys is unmatched and they have gave me the perfect leg up in starting a career in the fitness industry. You will be pushed and the bar is set high but it’s because they’re making you the best version of yourself. Being with a group of likeminded individuals throughout the course, makes for such a positive experience and I can’t recommend it enough. Cheers lads!!

Highly recommend

I have just finished my level 2 and 3 with Mesa and I couldn’t speak more highly of the course. I really enjoyed all of the weekends spent at Mesa and got along with everyone in my group and the tutor really well! I have come away from it with a lot of really good knowledge and I know I will have Mesa’s support going forward. I would recommend to anybody!!

L3 PT COURSE

After a bit of a delay I finally got to start my L3 course after completing a L2 elsewhere. I originally chose the course as the gym is local to me and it seemed a great price. I really enjoyed the teaching weekends with lots of practical time as well as going over theory. I've met some great people and learnt a lot. Don't get me wrong it's hard work but enjoyable. If you are looking for a course check these out.

I started with Mesa after a few friends recommended me to the course,
Brent went through every detail of the course and was accommodating working round existing work commitments.
It’s obvious the guys are very passionate and committed to making sure they teach the best material and providing the best support, the knowledge they have is very motivating and when I step away from the course with the tools they have provided I will be one very happy Mesa student for life !

The course itself is very informative he makes sure everyone in the class is keeping up, all while making it fun, I actually really enjoy the weekends on the course,

There is constant support through messages , emails and telephone calls if needed and even through the pandemic they have provided the best service, always there with a plan to move forward.
I’m so glad I chose Mesa to train with and will definitely recommend them to anyone that’s wanting to become a personal training, I will also be watching out for more of their courses in the future
I can’t thank you enough for providing me with the knowledge and confidence to move forward with a career I have wanted to do for a long time, but I will be seeing you on a future course xx

PT Course with MESA - Sign up you won’t regret it

I would 100% recommend MESA to anyone thinking of doing a Personal Training course or any of the other courses they have up and coming in the new year, I myself have got my eyes pealed for the next one I can jump on.

Brent and Stu are very knowledgable professional tutors, they care and support you throughout. Super fast responses to all messages, emails and marking coursework, nothing is too much trouble.

After being made redundant, I was extremely nervous about starting a course and changing my career. It’s the best decision I’ve made, with the help and support of these amazing guys I’ve grown so much in confidence, worked hard, learnt so so much and made friends for life. I’ve had a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to see what the future holds I can’t thank them enough.

If you are unsure about signing up DO IT you won’t regret it

Exceptional course with passionate teachers.

Exceptionally thought out course with the highlight being the obvious commitment and dedication from the educators. Brent and Stu have been the teachers during this course and their knowledge and skill sets means that you can begin as a gym novice and in 4 weeks leave feeling highly competent. As well as having up to date training resources and online theory material, what really makes this company stand out from the rest is those running it. Brent's commitment to his students is made apparent from day one. I don't think you cant really put a price on that and I've struggled to find this level of customer service and educational support elsewhere.

Credit where credit is due, MESA is definitely an exceptional educational platform and one which I will be utilising in the future as well as recommending to family and friends. Brilliant work in setting up MESA Brent as it is something you can be truly proud of.

Love for the fitness industry

Having worked with Brent for over 6 years, it was a privilege when asked to come on board with MESA UK as a Tutor/Assessor, knowing the detail and depth which he goes into with his care of the students and care for the education of Personal Trainers. He has worked on the gym floor as a trainer, managed a club and helped to develop an ever growing brand which all show in the course material and plans. I can not recommend this guy highly enough!!

My experience of being a student on the…

My experience of being a student on the personal training course with MESA has been really good and a big step up for me as a individual. MESA has helped me develop as a person.

The tutor Brent really took the time out to help me whether it was regarding the course, coursework or even outside the course in terms of my training. I've had alot of laughs with them, I treat and see them like my family.

Anyone who really wants to do a course where you will develop in there fitness related journey, dont waste your time going to other providers, I’ve been there and spoken to many other courses providers previously to MESA and all they want is the money, the will mess you about without explaining anything. MESA took their time with me and understood what I wanted and how they could help me.

Stu has also been great, he supports Liverpool which made it even better haha but other than that anytime I needed to speak or needed help I got a reply within a minute, whether it was a phone call, txt or an email.

MESA has helped me step my foot on the personal training ladder, can’t recommend them enough, fantastic service.

Upside down, Inside out, back to front

MESA was an emotional rollercoaster! Brent & Stu developed my PT skills and my mental health knowledge. There was times I struggled with unforeseen personal issues yet Brent & Stu along with fellow learners and students were understanding and helped pull me through the course and my personal issues. I’m an experienced gym enthusiast but the course really did expand my vision & I gained a lot more confidence and overall knowledge in fitness, nutrition, managing and motivating people and pushing myself. I will be looking forward to booking on other courses with MESA for the near future. And you never know who you may meet on these courses 😉 take the risk!

The start of something wonderful

I have worked alongside Brent and his team for a few months now and I must say its been a pleasure. My line of business is hospitality which in the environment we work in runs parallel with his.
MESA UK are adaptable to all situations and support us as a business where possible.
The rapport they have with their students just proves why they are so popular amongst up and coming personal trainers.
I look forward to a long and prosperous business relationship with Brent and his team.
