I spoke with Hakeem

I spoke with Hakeem, who was nothing short of a completely professional who said all the right things. His in-depth knowledge of the field really shone through especially when dealing with some of my skeptical comments. All in all a seamless transition.

I have just signed up for The Health…

I have just signed up for The Health and Fitness Institute courses with the help of Candice. She was so patient with me and understanding of the fact it is a big decision and was so knowledgable and informative. She helped me chose a package that I am very excited about and, confident I can progress to where I want to where I want to be.

Excellent customer care

So far so good! Got my initial call from Candice who was ridiculously helpful and gave me so much advice and insights before I signed on the dotted line. All the info she sent me about the courses available were so clear - so no confusion there. I can't wait to start this journey with the team at THFI

5☆ Provider

Initial connection was made with Cadice, she was so helpful in helping me put together a package that suited me. Couldn't of been more helpful if she had tried. If we could add more than 5 stars I'd certainly be giving more.

As a passionate advocate for fitness…

As a passionate advocate for fitness and a prospective personal trainer, finding the right course provider was paramount. I stumbled upon THFI and I couldn't be happier. Their wealth of experience in the industry shines through their meticulously crafted course. It's not just about getting the qualification; it's about truly honing your skills to be a competent professional in the practical world.

What sets THFI apart is their dedication to student success. They're always prompt in addressing queries, providing unwavering support, and going above and beyond to ensure you're not just on the right track, but excelling. If you're serious about becoming a top-notch PT, look no further than THFI. They're the gold standard.

Good Course & Value For Money but Customer Service Has Room For Improvement

EDIT (10th July 2024) - Today I have had to change my review from 5-stars to 3-stars, and the Title (previously - "Super helpful and available team to guide you throughout!"). As the course has progressed, though overall the team are very helpful, on more than one occasion now it has been difficult to get someone to return calls and emails, for more than 2 weeks at a time. This can put a real delay on your progress and dampener on your spirits. The 1st time I imagined the person I'd emailed was merely on annual leave, which indeed they were. An auto out-of-office message, as one suggestion, would be really helpful here as a means of effective communication in order to manage customer expectations. During that entire time, which stretched beyond annual leave also around 4 weeks or so, we are only left to guess. Furthermore it became known that a colleague was supposed to be picking up emails/calls in the interim but there was still no response or acknowledgement. I am now currently still awaiting a call back promised 10 days ago, and no response to 2-3 emails in between. Hopefully all is ok and nothing serious has occurred but, again, surely a colleague would be managing matters if so....? Lastly I would note that my experience has not been limited to just one particular individual and so my original review, below, should be taken lightly in terms of response times once you've signed up and are a paying customer. (Hopefully my honest edit doesn't affect the rest of my experience with THFI, and future accreditation...)

ORIGINAL REVIEW: As a relatively new training provider, it was easy to be skeptical of THFI. However from the 1st contact with Hakeem (Sales Manager), who took plenty of his time to answer all my questions on a late Friday afternoon in a very informative and helping manner, to Zoe in Customer Services, who is always on hand (promptly) to answer any queries that you may have through the course, and to Jo and her fellow tutors, I can't find one area that I've found lacking whatsoever.

When you 1st start it can be overwhelming but they all work as a team to guide you through it.

My favorite aspect of the course, so far, is that when you're doing the readings you can often find yourself lost in terms of "am I ever going to get this?!" etc. but then you attend their live webinars, and watch their recorded ones (the best, especially for the anatomy learning!!!!), and it all forms neatly into place.

I don't think you will regret taking a course with THFI. Good Luck!
