STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
sTEPHEN
“This is a big change in direction for me and I definitely made the right choice studying with FEA for my Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing. The learning materials were first rate and very user friendly. Andrew our tutor was excellent at building confidence in all areas of gym instructing in readiness for the practical assessments. Such a positive experience that I’m sticking with FEA to achieve my Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification, so I can help others enjoy the benefits of exercising and achieving their fitness goals.”

“I have just completed my personal training Diploma with The Fitness Education Academy and can’t recommend the standards of teaching enough! The FEA lecturers are full of knowledge and wisdom about the fitness industry and go above and beyond to help prepare you for the real world. I have learnt so much from my time on the Level 2 gym instructor and level 3 PT courses and can’t wait to start my new business venture in the new year."
Kerri
“Last year I studied and passed my Level 2 Group Training with the FEA and decided to take the plunge into Group indoor cycling instructing this year, the course was absolutely fantastic, I learned lots of new skills, as well as being able to combine my knowledge. The Fitness Education Academy has a brilliant set up there is always someone available to help. Amanda has been my tutor twice and both times been brilliant, even when you have those ‘what have I done?’ moments. From booking the course to certification, the FEA have been amazing. I said no more courses but as I throughly enjoyed this course and the set up at The Fitness Education Academy, I’ll be back for more!”
