TRAINFITNESS Reviews 

I have had the most incredible experience with TrainFitness and more specifically, with our in-person tutor - Ben. The support he has provided whilst creating such a safe, positive space is unmatched, but with that his knowledge is astounding.
Learning something new could easily have been so overwhelming, but Ben, along with my group were all so encouraging but provide such useful and insightful feedback every step of the way - its really made me believe I might be able to do this as a career for real! Thank you Ben, so, SO much, and thank you Trainfitness.

The course was exactly what I needed. I tried distance learning first but found the material and criteria for passing too nuanced to be able to complete at home, so i switched to the in person course. Ben was thoroughly excellent at explaining the nuances. He was friendly, knowledgable and professional, he genuinely made the whole two weeks so enjoyable and the classroom learning was such great fun. Ben installed such a great atmosphere everyone relaxed really quickly and is a real asset to the train fitness brand.

The location was great for the learning and practicals as it had everything needed to meet all the marking criteria quite easily. I think this is one of the drawbacks of the distance learning as it wouldn't have been possible in most other gyms which is a slight problem with the distance learning. Any one who did the distance would need access to a well kitted out gym and people with time to re-do any practicals. However, doing the in person and working with similar minded people helped build my confidence in delivery and what I would need to do, as i don't come from a fitness industry background.

I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone. He's genuinely amazing.

TRAINFITNESS made it simple to study from home for my qualifications whilst life was non-stop - I was on maternity leave when I started and went back to work full time half way through studying. The course was really easily laid out online, and the e-classes were super helpful. I haven't got enough good things to say about the support I had from Rob, Ben and Katie, and Radek and the Learner Support team were also super quick in getting back to me.
I'm now a qualified L3 PT with specialism in Ante&Post Natal, Circuit Training and a BodyFX Coach, setting me up for a whole new career that fits around my family.
I would recommend TRAINFITNESS to anyone looking to get in to a career in fitness.

I was interested in signing up for their PT course, and expected a downloadable brochure to be sent via text or E-mail.

Instead, I have been bombarded with phone calls and voice messages asking me to call. Even after blocking the number, they're still able to keep leaving voice messages, asking me to call back and sign up for their desperately overrated PT course.

Amazing experience lots of support and knowledge from experienced people in the field. Rob was fantastic and really made me excited for my future career in fitness.

the instructors were really helpful and professional in explaining the course and the elements of the course layout, and what's expected of use and teaching skills and technique

Really welcoming environment and tutors. Ben is really fun, supporting and competent.
I was really anxious before I started and the team and support helped me feel confident I am at the right place to Keep learning and growing.

Having completed my level 2 and 3 qualifications in person with train fitness, I cannot recommend this experience more highly and I am so glad I chose the in person option. The online learning is well structured and clear but the in person sessions have brought the material to life and I am finishing feeling confident in the toolkit I have developed over the last two weeks. My tutor Ben is incredibly caring, reassuring and let's his personality shine in his teaching which helps make the two weeks straight of learning really fun and engaging. I have felt very well supported by Ben and Kate, it's so clear they are not only exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced but also really care. It has been such a fun two weeks learning with a lovely diverse group and I'm really going to miss the whole group. To anyone worried about the assessments let me reassure you that Ben and the team are so experienced and know exactly how to coach you through them. It's a supportive learning environment where we all help eachother grow. Thank you for a fantastic experience which has made me excited for the next step in this journey!

I absolutely LOVED my experience with train fitness. I completed the two week in person course and it’s the best decision I’ve made in a long time. The training is thorough, engaging, and confidence building. Ben is an incredible tutor and I’m so grateful for his teaching and support. If you’re choosing between any PT courses, choose this one!

ben is hilarious and very informative, the two weeks flew by!

I had such a great experience with our tutor, Ben, at TrainFitness. From the first minute we met he was so welcoming and accommodating to myself and my classmates. He made the course fun and engaging. A classmate and myself commented how much we enjoyed the sessions because of Ben's teaching style.
Ben gave a through breakdown of all the course material and showed a lot of kindness and patience even when bombarded with a lot of questions.

Ben was attentive to everyones needs and knew how to bring the best out of all of us.

I also want to thank Rose, Paul and Richard for their guidance on this course.
Anyone thinking of signing up to do the course should do so immediately, you won't regret it!

I’ve had the time of my life with TrainFitness over the past few months. They’ve been incredibly supportive throughout my learning, and every member of staff I’ve interacted with—in person, over the phone, or by email—has been friendly, professional, and caring.

For anyone looking to gain expert knowledge in a warm, encouraging environment where you’ll be pushed, challenged, and celebrated, this is the course for you. I now feel confident, technically skilled, and ready to start helping others. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

I’m currently completing my Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification and working toward my Level 3 Personal Trainer certification (T3 HIIT assessment completed). I’m doing my theory online and practical sessions in person, and it’s been an amazing experience. The teachers—Kate and Ben—are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a safe and inspiring space for everyone.

Every time I’ve had a question about the online theory, the support team has replied promptly and helpfully. For future courses, I probably won’t even bother looking anywhere else!

Currently finishing off my PT Strength and Conditioning Diploma. As a distance learner I have relied on the learner support team to guide me through the course material/assessments, who have been very responsive via telephone and email. Special mention to Mr Rob Barraclough who is very professional/knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease over the phone.

I have absolutely no regrets in my decision to complete my PT course with TrainFitness – from the initial research phase, right through to attending the course in person I have felt supported and valued throughout.

I had a lot of questions initially and the sales team were amazing in answering all my questions without me feeling pressured to commit to the course beforehand like with other companies.

When attending the in person course I was feeling a little nervous naturally beforehand, but our instructor Ben immediately erased any worries or concerns and made sure that this continued right through the Gym Instructor course into the Personal trainer element. Ben allowed us to truly be ourselves and find our own authentic way of coaching without any judgement. Ben’s feedback was invaluable, and he has an incredible capacity to adapt his teaching or approaches of supporting to meet each person he was training which made the experience feel so personalised…not to mention how fun and lighthearted he was able to make learning such heavy amounts of information – we always felt positive and upbeat despite needing to cover a lot of learning and detail.

Thank you so much for everything Ben – it’s been an absolute pleasure to learn from you and I will hold onto so many pointers and tips you shared with us into my future career 🙂 THANK YOU!

Attended the L2 + L3 course in London in October. Our main instructor/ assessor was Ben, with Katie covering the T3 group training class.

I'm an older learner (a retired financial services professional looking for a second career in something I'm passionate about). I also don't have the physique of a stereotypical PT and was really worried about how I would fit in / be judged. The whole environment of the course could not have been more supportive. Ben made a real point of ensuring that all of us felt free to be ourselves, to recognise the unique value we could each bring as a coach and to find out our coaching style - whilst also guiding us to learn to adapt it to meet individual client needs. Katie took the same approach when teaching the group training session. We were also encouraged to learn from each other. Everyone in our group had very different training histories and passions and the different perspectives offered added knowledge beyond the course materials. It was a brilliantly supportive group with everyone willing each other on to perform at their best. With significant time on the gym floor practicing on one another we really got to put our skills into practice before the assessments.

When I first looked at the course materials and saw the level of assessments it looked quite daunting - but the in-person coaches (and the excellent on-line materials) really guided us through the content and the assessments.

Ive had a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks and am really feeling quite motivated about getting stuck in as a PT. I also feel l've made some great new friends in my new industry as all learners really supported each other through the process.

I am still on the level 3 in person online modules. When i was asked to go to Buzz gym Cannon street for my LAP, i was a bit nervous because i didn't know who my tutor was going to be. But the when i met Ben at the reception, he said to me "Anderson everything is going to be fine, will guide you in such a way that by the end of this LAP you would understand everything. The knowledge he impacted on me has help and i will apply the when i start my journey as a personal trainer.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank Ben for guiding us all especially me throughout the LAP.

I’m studying the live virtual course, for the Master Diploma and have so far completed and passed the Fitness Instructor and level 3 PT.

Superb course content, really interesting, and extremely in-depth. You do need discipline to focus and get through the material, don’t be mistaken thinking it is the same as having live tutors to guide you through all the material.

I’ve had a few glitches with the app and uploading videos was a bit of a nightmare if I’m honest. It added a stress element non of us needed. Another option for loading/sending these would have been great, but we were told there are no other ways of sending the videos, which is a real shame. All of the students in my group had the same issues (we communicated with each other) but we were all individually told no one else had a problem, that was a little frustrating. If there had been more clarity here and another reliable option was given for sending our assessment videos, it would of made my experience 5*

The tutor for our live weekends and assessments was amazing. Really helpful, guided us well and ensured we knew how to navigate the supporting paperwork. Really enjoyed the live weekends, thank you.

The assessors for the final, live, PT assessment were also fantastic. That was an awesome weekend. Of course we were all nervous, but our tutor was as supportive as ever, and the assessors were so friendly. They all made sure we understood the structure of the weekend. They reassured and encouraged us every step of the way, just superb!

I’m looking forward to continuing my studies with TRAINFITNESS and thanks to my current tutor I have a clear idea of which element to study next and how to progress. I’m really hoping my next tutor is as supportive and clear with their guidance.

If you are serious about gaining qualifications in this field, and have the discipline to study remotely, I would absolutely recommend this company.

Distance study Flexibility

I pursued my course while I was in Saudi Arabia. The format of the course allowed me to study anytime and I even did my practical assessments while I was there.
However, I wanted to experience an in-person element when I travelled back home to London and the team was so accommodating and found me a suitable date immediately.
Extremely impressed by their system and versatility.

I’ve had such a fantastic experience with our tutor, Ben. He made the entire learning journey genuinely enjoyable (fun)—especially during those moments when confidence dips and you’re navigating something new. His great sense of humour, understanding approach, and deep knowledge made a real difference.

Ben is energetic, personable, and brings a passion to in-person learning. After doing online sessions, having him in the room was a breath of fresh air. He truly injects enthusiasm into learning how to support people through their fitness journey.

Thank you, Ben—I’d absolutely recommend the in-person learning option to anyone.

I've almost finished my Level 3 in-person PT course at Train Fitness. It's been so much fun, I'm sad it's almost over! My tutor Ben has been nothing short of sensational. He's so knowledgeable, so funny, so enaging and makes the coursework so much more digestible and accessible for all different types of people and their learning styles. I'm so thrilled to have met him and to be learning from someone who is so invested in helping us reach our full potential.
