 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Completed my level 3 course here and I have to say it was a good course. The teacher and other tutors were all great, really helpful and supported where needed. The course is heavy but it goes quick .  Definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have completed the PT Level 3 course, and I really enjoyed it. The delivery was clear, the tutors were very knowledgeable, and the course provided lots of useful materials. The course includes a practical part with assessments in the gym. However, the theory (except for the webinar days) is mainly self-study, so you need to stay motivated and complete a lot of written tasks every week. The tutors and assessors are always happy to explain things and help with exercises, practical skills, and the assessment. They are active practitioners with great experience and strong portfolios.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed completing this course and found it very informative and practical for my development as a personal trainer. The content was well structured and helped me build confidence in key areas such as programme design, client communication, and fitness knowledge. Akua was an excellent tutor who was always supportive, approachable, and clear in her explanations. She provided helpful feedback and made sure everyone understood the topics, which made a big difference to my learning experience. Overall, I feel well prepared to move forward in my fitness career thanks to this course.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been over the moon with the Level 2 Gym Instructing and Level 3 PT course at Focus Fitness! The teaching has been incredible and I’m so grateful for all the skills and knowledge I’ve gained throughout the last nine weeks. It’s been intense at times but the support available both during class and outside of these hours has been second to none. A huge thank you to Ben, our amazing tutor, for guiding us every step of the way and to the assessors Has, Drew, Nacho and Sean for their support and feedback — you’ve all made this experience so positive and rewarding. I honestly can’t recommend Focus Fitness enough to anyone thinking of going into PT! Jennifer

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a really positive experience with Focus Fitness, and I wanted to share how impressed I was. From the moment I started, the environment felt welcoming, professional, and genuinely supportive. A big part of what made the experience stand out was Andy. He’s an excellent teacher—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly motivating. He takes the time to explain things clearly, making sure everyone understands proper form and technique, regardless of their fitness level. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people improve and feel confident. Overall, Focus Fitness is a fantastic place to train, and Andy is a huge asset to the team. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and effective fitness environment.
