What our students are saying about our Personal Trainers Courses
I have learned a lot about anatomy, postural correction and all the small things you should do when training a client ie, being at their level etc. and it has also made me think about how to run my own business.
Cameron
The trainers were amazing Dee always helps and takes the time needed to explain anything I am unsure of
Michelle
In depth information about referrals was a new skill I didn't really learn in my previous course- something that will be helpful in the future.
Jake
My trainer always made sure that I understood the assignments or subject clearly and encouraged me to ask if I was unsure of anything.
Chris
Everyone is friendly at AFCB and 9/10 there is always a teacher or someone that will direct you less than 5 steps away from the treatment rooms
Andrea
I actually had ACFB recommended to me by a previous remedial massage student
Andrea
Learning from the experienced trainers and them sharing there own experiences has helped. the course material was in depth also. I have known of people to do other pt courses and finishing it not knowing as much as they should.
Chris
I would recommend to do the program at the facility rather than flexi as flexi was very frustrating as it was at times hard to understand what was expected from me and hard to access my mentor at times...
Karen
The close intimate classroom environment, as opposed to big style learning (Uni/Tafe) where people and thoughts get lost in the crowd. Particularly important for PERSONAL training
Alex
Dee is very inspiring and always engaging in helping to explore your understanding of concepts
Andrea
They were great, definitely experts in the field
Andrea
ACFB provided in depth knowledge and applicable scenarios where knowledge is not only used, but further expanded on. Taught me valuable people skills which i felt was one of the biggest factors out of the course
Alex
Dee has always wanted me to be the best trainer possible, sharing her knowledge and giving me as much advice as possible. And does regular check ins to see how im going with it all
Chris
Extremely! They were very helpful and patient. The trainers explained well and catered for all learning types
Andrea
Everyone was very friendly and approachable, the instructors were very knowledgeable and had a great way of teaching.
