TRAINFITNESS Reviews 

As a Distance Learner I have had a positive experience completing my Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification. I'm now going onto my Level 3 Personal Trainer with ease. The flexibility of the course has suited me well and the team are very supportive and always responsive to questions. The system to upload your assessments is a little clunky, but the fact I could self-record my practical, without having to see an examiner in person has suited me well.

I completed the 3 day in-person fast track option for Level 2 Gym Instructor. I had a brilliant experience! By the end of the three days, my confidence had increased more than I thought was actually possible in such a short length of time. This was due to the really positive environment created in the class, my great classmates, and the thoughtful, encouraging feedback provided by our tutor, Ben. It worked really well as a next step to the in-depth online learning I had completed for the course so far. I feel enthused and equipped to begin a career change into this industry.

The courses are structured clearly, easy to follow. The learner success could always reply on time to help with my questions. Good learning experience overall!

I recently completed the exercise referral course with TRAINFITNESS and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. the course was easy to follow, very insightful and interesting. The communication between learner and tutors is very seamless and easy to use. Overall very pleased and I am sure I will come back in the future to learn more with them. Many thanks to Rob and Ben who were very supportive towards the end of my course also.

I am just about to complete my GI and PT course, and I can't fault TrainFitness on anything. They are incredibly supportive and helpful. Even when I changed my study option, they continued to be fair and accommodating. I would recommend everyone to go for the fast-track virtual-live clinics. It was a brilliant experience! The course content is so easy to follow and highly comprehensive (even for me, as English isn't my first language). Special mention to my tutor, Katie, whose outstanding support made a massive difference during the clinics. She made the days so easy to follow—she is a real motivator, incredibly helpful, and her knowledge is second to none. She also turned absolutely everything into a positive experience, which I find to be a great personal quality. I just can't wait to progress to the Master level with TrainFitness!

Just completed my Level 2 & 3 intensive.

Ben was the most incredible instructor who made my 2 weeks nothing but enjoyable and so much fun. Everything was made so clear by him and I felt nothing but support throughout my 2 weeks at Buzz Gym. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their PT Qualification. Thank you Ben and the rest of the gang x

I just passed the ‘Level 3 Exercise Referral’ course and for my job role within the fitness industry as a Wellbeing instructor this is huge! I didn’t realise how many customers/clients I’ve already come across and worked with who fit the criteria and match the conditions that are discussed within this course. The course was very useful and insightful. Definitely going to use this in my day-to-day duties. The only reason that I haven’t rated this as a five star is because the website has itself could be improved such as once you’ve completed a section of the online learning you have to wait a while for it to load to progress you onto the next section and sometimes (in my case) have to close the entire website and re open and log back in to continue. Overall great experience and great learner success team it’s worth doing the course!

I completed my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications with Train Fitness in December 2025 and have since continued my learning through additional courses with them.

I would highly recommend Train Fitness to anyone considering a career in the fitness industry. The course content is comprehensive, well-structured and easy to follow, allowing me to study alongside a full-time job and other commitments. The online learning platform is straightforward to use, and the flexibility of the course means I can learn at my own pace while still receiving excellent support when needed.

A special mention goes to Rob, who was my tutor and assessor throughout my qualifications and continues to support me on further courses. His knowledge, professionalism and encouragement have been invaluable and he provides clear, constructive feedback. Rob has a great ability to explain concepts in a practical, easy-to-understand way, which helped build both my knowledge and confidence.

Completing these qualifications has given me a solid foundation in fitness and personal training, and I'm pleased to be continuing my professional development through further study with Train Fitness. The quality of the learning materials, support and tutoring has been consistently excellent.

Thank you to Rob and the Train Fitness team for making the learning experience both enjoyable and rewarding. I would not hesitate to recommend Train Fitness to anyone looking for a high-quality fitness qualification provider.

I've taken several courses with Train Fitness over the years--and courses with other fitness training providers. Train Fitness has become my go-to for all courses leading to professional and career development. The quality of the content and the support they offer learners exceeds anything I've experienced. I'd highly recommend Train Fitness for any of your fitness professional education.

Recently completed my Exercise and Nutrition for Menopause, really interesting and insightful content. I highly recommend it!!

I did my Level 3 Personal Training course earlier this year, with Ben.

He is an amazing instructor, super helpful, knowledgeable and supportive and makes the sessions very fun. I did the in-person course and really didn't want the week to end. I have signed up for more courses with TrainFitness and look forward to completing them too!

Rob is a great instructor

Train fitness provide comprehensive learning materials covering a broad range of essential and advanced topics on Gym Instruction and Personal Training.

The virtual group classes I participated in were particularly enriching, providing an engaging and interactive learning format for students to learn remotely.

My tutor, Rob, has also been ready to help with any queries I have had during the courses and is willing to provide astute guidance when needed.

The Learner Access Programme manuals are quite extensive, and sometimes through some barriers of misunderstanding in my way, but the Customer Support team has been very understanding and helpful in doing their best to address any concerns or difficulties.

I am very near to finishing my course, and look am looking forward to a future in fitness!

Rob is an amazing instructors , very thorough, knowledgeable, patient and a good listener.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob Barraclough during my Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications with Train Fitness back in 2020, and more recently during my exercise and nutrition for menopause professional discussion assessment.

Although I didn’t have regular one-to-one contact throughout the courses, every interaction I had with Rob was positive, professional, and supportive. He was approachable, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed environment during my professional discussion, which helped me feel at ease and able to perform to the best of my ability.

Rob demonstrated a high level of expertise and was able to explain concepts clearly while maintaining a professional and encouraging approach. His feedback was constructive and fair, and it was evident that he genuinely wanted learners to succeed.

Train Fitness has provided me with valuable qualifications that have helped me develop as a fitness professional, and Rob played an important part in that journey.

Thank you for your support and professionalism throughout my learning experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have just completed the L2 Gym instructor course with the in-person weekend sessions.
The online learning is very comprehensive. Dives deep into the science and covers everything you need to know to have a successful career in fitness. The in person sessions were excellent. My tutor Rob is an excellent teacher and definitely taught me everything I need to be a confident fitness trainer. He is very personable and extremely knowledgeable- without him I don’t think I would have flourished. He is truly one of the stars at Train Fitness. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to break into the fitness industry. Worth every penny!

This was a great experience! The help desk was quick to respond and provide excellent assistance when needed!

I've just finished (and passed!) my Level 2 Gym Instructor Qualification with Train Fitness after being recommended this company by a few colleagues.

No wonder it comes so highly recommended! Even as a distance learner I felt taken care of - the course material is thorough, insightful, up-to-date and logical to follow. The example videos were so helpful as I was studying part-time from home - but the most important thing for me, was the ability to pick up the phone and chat to the Learner Success Team. Both Ben and Katie helped me numerous times and gave such lovely words of encouragement, even when I had worries/was nervous about completing my practical assesment!

Even though I was completing this course away from a physical environment, I still felt like I was getting a world-class education, and that the tutors really wanted me to succeed. Thanks Train Fitness team - can't wait to see where this journey takes me! :)

Overall great company to study under, really helpful and friendly, guidance was easy to follow and great communication, couldn’t recommend more.

My Personal experience with TRAINFITNESS has been second to none. The course challenged me, enriched my knowledge and built my confidence in my own abilities. At times I was out of my comfort zone, questioning how to study, work and be a full time single mum.
The support I received from Ben (my tutor) was outstanding!! He reassured, encouraging, coached and made me feel at ease. Knowing I had a tutor on the end of a message or a call really helped my journey to achieving my goal to become a personal trainer. Im now keen to sign up to more courses with TRAINFITNESS, I just wish I had signed up years ago!!!
