This course is a goldmine!

This course is a goldmine!
No need to be a PT to take it, if you want to gain more knowledge on nutrition and training part, just go for it. Everything is well explained and detailed and most importantly, each fact is back up by studies!

Everything you need to know about fitness in one course

Followed this course mainly for myself because I am a fitness enthousiast. The topics were very interesting, most of my questions were answered in an understandable way. There is also live contact to answer any remaining questions.
Only downside is listening to fitness related podcasts is less fun as you know most of the answers already.

Great PT course!

I'm happy I took that course. It's really evidence-based, very well logically structured, and so much better than standard PT certifications like NASM. I also liked the grading system. The exam is not overwhelmingly stressful, and thoughtfully designed to test your ability to use the information from the course, not just memorizing things.

The best evidenced based PT Course

This PT course is very professional, evidenced based and packed with the latest up to date information regarding nutrition, training and more. It is delivered by easy-to-read PDFs and online lectures. I am confident I can design a nutrition and training plan for any client. The live Q&As were very helpful. Amazing course.

There's a lot of confusion and…

There's a lot of confusion and misconceptions in fitness world. All these theories only made me sceptic and uncertain about all I read and heard. I picked this course because I hoped it will help me to filter all this nonsense and I'm not disappointed. I highly recommend it to anyone who values evidence based approach (with the pinch of humour :)). Also a big plus for kind and helpful customer service!

My PT is no longer intuitive.

Even if you think you know enough, you have a lot of experience, this course will still teach you a lot. You will start to scientifically use the experience you already have. It will give you a system. This course -
must have, even if you already have a coaching certificate.

If you don't have the experience and knowledge, this will build a good base and scientific understanding of fitness.

The course is very extensive. But in the comments to each topic, Menno and his team answer all questions and help you understand. At the end of each module Live Q&A where you can ask questions additionally.
10 months have gone by without a hitch.
Thanks to Menno and the team!

The Best Personal Training Course

A very comprehensive training course gives everything you need to start your own training and also help other people. If you are trying to be a personal trainer or want to get your health and fitness knowledge to the next level, it will be a disservice to not enroll in this course.

This course requires time and effort. I did need at least 2 hours per week to keep up with the material. And there are enormous amount of material each week. It almost can be an university level course for personal trainer. You will learn nutrition, training, and how to set up nutrition and training for almost everyone out there, from regular folks, to women, to pregnant women, to elderly. You will also learn how to properly contest prep someone as well.
Overall it is one of the best if not the best course out there.
Reinier de Wit is also the top notch customer service/TA out there. He will be available to answer almost all the questions you have or point you to someone may have answer for you.
Why 4 stars? For 2 reasons:
1. The platform they used this time is newly implemented. It is a little bit difficult for me to follow up the questions that were asked during each module. Also there were some technical glitches for live Q and A, such as certain time live Q and A won't load, but as time goes by I think it will be greatly improved.
One suggestions on live Q and A. I think it may be worthwhile to put a deadline to submit questions on the new platform, then rest of questions can be asked during live. I sometimes found Menno seems to have a hard time keep up with questions because the course platform still allows questions to be put in while live Q and A is going on.

2. Exam questions wording can be misleading sometimes. Personally I feel can lead to some confusion. Also some images we need to use on the exam the font size was very small, so if you don't have an updated web browser and don't have a good zoom in option can be problematic. I won't go in specific details since I don't want to leak exam questions (ain't no snitch yo!) but if the team want to message me regarding which one I am referring to I am happy to help!

Overall it is the best course out there. I think it is more 4.8 or 4.9 out of 5 stars. However trustpilot won't let me give a decimal score, so I have to deduct one star for the 2 issues I listed above. The material is very good. It is also recommended by almost all fitness leaders out there (such as Renaissance Periodization, Eric Helms, Layne Norton, etc). Menno does a great job on summarize research. For anyone who treats lifting seriously, they need to enroll this course, so you don't have to be asked "do you even lift bro?"

The best there is!

Menno's PT course gives you a profound fitness education based on science. You will be provided with everything you need (and even more) to know about nutrition and training. The course requires time and commitment but it is worth completing. Totally recommend!

I highly recommend the course.

The course is great in equipping you with the tools and knowledge to a be a great personal trainer, or if you just want to learn for your own training. Menno and his team are very quick in answering questions you might have in every chapter. The pacing of the course is also great in squeezing into one's schedule. I highly recommend.

Epic course! The evidence you shouldn't miss!

Epic course! Have been a PT for over 10 years, but this course blew me away with the detailed scientific research and application techniques. Fun fact: loads of crap we see on IG is bs and that opens your eyes. I recommend to open the pandoras box (this course) to see the truth!

Changed my life literally.

Ive been training powerlifting for 12+ years and also competed and won.
I literally train with one of the best coaches and have trained with great world class coaches.
The knowledge you will gain from this course is really mind boggling.
As every week went by, I realized how little I actually knew and had so many things I believed that had no actual basis and to see the science behind it is crazy.
Lastly I love how Prof. Menno Henselmans is very unbiased when it comes to powerlifting or bodybuilding. He literally just states facts and you do with it as you wish.
I don’t even know if I passed just yet, and I’m raving about the course, so just imagine you’re missing out on.

The course contains everything needed…

The course contains everything needed for a personal trainer, every information is based on research. The very structure of the course makes you focus on the details as much as possible.The one who doesn't take advantage of the course really misses out a lot. I am glad to have this opportunity to be a part of this adventure. I hope to develop in the fitness environment thanks to this course.

Life-changing experience.

I took this course because I was wildly dissatisfied with the average level of PTs I encountered during my life.
The only knowledgeable conversation partner for gym-related topics I had was a good friend of mine who also happens to be a Henselmans certified PT. Well, if you want something done, do it yourself. I didn't think twice before enrolling in this course.
And this course really DELIVERS. After these 10 months I train differently, eat differently, look differently and think differently. The level of information provided is simply off the charts.

Science and evidence based course…

Science and evidence based course covering comprehensively nutrition and fitness topics in depth. You can expect high quality up to date material in written as in video form and a community of people striving to improve their knowledge or take their fitness and nutrition to a higher level.

What a gem.

Whatever I'm going to say, I would never be able to do Menno's any justice. The course is loaded with gems that would open new tabs in your brain. Is it heavy? Yes. Is it one-of-a-kind? YES.
Thank you, Menno, for making this like no other/well-put course.

If you're looking to expand your knowledge for fitness, this is the course for you!

Most informative course on the market, hands down.
Menno has always been there to answer your question, not immediately of course, but sooner rather than later he answers. It's good that the material is easy to reach (it's 2 facebook clicks away) and even better, you can save it on your computer!
Things are relatively easy to understand, because Menno and his team have made it that way and therefore it's easy for the reader to fathom the information and they apply it.
Thanks Menno!

The depth of knowledge and evidence-based approach presented throughout the curriculum is truly commendable. Menno and his team, have masterfully crafted a course that leaves no stone unturned, equipping students with the necessary tools and understanding to excel in their fitness careers.

I wholeheartedly recommend this certification course to any individual seeking to enhance their expertise in the field of personal training.

However, it is worth mentioning that this course requires diligent and consistent studying due to its rigorous nature.

In summary, the Menno Henselmans PT certification course is a remarkable educational offering that offers unparalleled comprehensiveness and adherence to evidence-based practices. By investing in this course, aspiring personal trainers are making a prudent choice that will undoubtedly enrich their professional journeys.
