A life changing decision I’m greatfull I signed up for

Thoroughly enjoyed experience throughout and even feeling like I was an experienced person at the gym I felt I learnt something every session whether it’s something completely new or something small to change in my own training. All the coaches offered help throughout and I constantly felt I could ask for a question whenever and there would be no issues in getting a response.

Can’t speak highly enough about this…

Can’t speak highly enough about this course. Both my partner and have have studied through NHFA and haven’t looked back. The knowledge shared by all the coaches is of such a high level I feel not only confident in my own training but also in my ability to train anyone else

A truely professionally run academy

A truely professionally run academy, from behind the scenes with Mel right through to the group of amazing coaches NHFA clearly has the cream of the crop in their stable.
Aside from engaging and informative face to face lessons the ability to self learn on the portal is exceptional enabling students to continue their learning outside the classroom.
The coaches are intrinsically knowledgeable & extremely generous both with their time and their IP, happy to assist in any way in order to create the best possible trainers for the industry.

If this is your passion & chosen path then NHFA is not AN option it is your ONLY option, anything else would be second rate.....

Perfect learning experience with NHFA

Studying my Cert iii and iv through NHFA was an absolute joy. All coaches were very knowledgeable, supportive and a ball of fun to learn from. NHFA not only has provided me with the knowledge and hands on experience I need for me to be an exceptional PT but has also given me so much support throughout the course and outside of the course, which has given me the opportunity to now be apart of the Goodlife Health Clubs Coomera team as a personal trainer there.

Big shout out to my classmates who I now can call my friends, thank you for making the experience a breeze and a whole lot of fun!

100% Recommend studying through NHFA, you will obtain the best experience and knowledge through Dave and his team of coaches.

It was an absolute honour doing my qualifications with NHFA. What an incredible course, so practical, amazing coaches, administrative queens & the best classmates I could have hoped for.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to complete their certs to do them with NHFA. I couldn’t imagine a better program.
Thank you!!

THANK YOU NHFA

My experience studying with Dave and the NHFA team was wonderful. Dave has this ability to meet you where you are at and take you where you need to go and I am grateful. The NHFA team are not only like a family but Dave has chosen the best in the health, fitness & business industry to equip his PT student to great success.
What I love the most about the NHFA is the after service they provide their graduates by constantly reaching out with job opportunities from fitness clubs.
I am so exited to see what my future holds as a PT, so far it has been truely amazing. Thank you NHFA xx

20/10 NHFA

If you’re looking at or thinking about doing your cert III & IV in fitness NHFA is a must!
I just finished the 8 week full time course & for the first time in my life I actually enjoyed studying & going to class.
All the coaches were amazing and so full of knowledge & offered their own individual inputs. I was not expecting to take away as much as I did. Having done my cert III previously online it was not even close enough to be a comparison to NHFA. The whole process from start to finish was amazing! I couldn’t recommend NHFA any higher. Don’t waste your time looking for other options. Get in and get it done!

NHFA Full-Time Course - Bundall

Just finished the full time course at Bundall and loved every minute of it! After studying Criminology at university, this was the start of a completely different path for me. From the start I was definitely nervous as I didn’t know what to expect, but the coaches, staff and other students made me feel so comfortable. Dave and the rest of the coaches all specialise in different areas of health and fitness, which made their classes enjoyable and filled with so much valuable information. Not only has the course provided me with the skills to transition straight into becoming a qualified personal trainer, but it’s also allowed me to learn new things that I can incorporate into my own training as a rugby player. Overall, I recommend this course to anyone who is thinking about starting their fitness journey. I’ve made some amazing friends along the way, and look forward to starting my career as a personal trainer.

My amazing experience with NHFA

I started studying with NHFA not knowing exactly what I wanted to do, however from my very first class I knew I had made the right decision!
The coaches are so very knowledgeable and always there to help.
Throughout my course I met so many beautiful people....class was so fun 😁
Each class was perfectly designed! Everything I have learnt is still stuck in my head and gave me everything I needed to take the big step of starting out as a PT. Im now working at Goodlife Coomera and I’m extremely happy.
A big thank you to Mel also, she was always right there when we needed her and I received so much support from her ❤️
For anyone that’s wanting a life change and become personal trainer I 100% recommend NHFA. You will get the highest quality of service, knowledge and support from the whole team!
Don’t think twice, just do it 💪🏼

Encouraging, fun, full of knowledge

Great experience with NHFA! As a deaf person, I wasn't sure how accessible the course was and while it wasn't perfect, Dave, Melinda and the coaches did everything they could to ensure I could still access the classes and sessions and made me feel included. I loved the different coaches they had as they brought their own wealth of knowledge to the classes and really engaged my interest. I really enjoyed the course content and the coaches, and have made great friendships in the class. Would highly recommend NHFA if you are interested in pursuing personal training.
