The courses offered by GB Fitness are a very unique in their approach. We pride ourselves on real education for Exercise Professionals who want the knowledge to make a difference to the lives of their clients and the results that they achieve exceed those of the mass-produced Instructors that are all too common in our industry.
There is a lot of work covered each day (with more study and revision at home) but this is how we can fit so much in that is not normally included by other training companies, esp. at this price! These courses do go much deeper than your standard "turn up-and-pass" type that seem to be the trend!
The course books are in depth and focus on NEEDED skills rather than information you will never use.
The courses have a varied base of students from Elite athletes to some that have never trained...it is an equal starting ground as many have pre-conceived ideas that we may well change for the better of both you and your clients ...
The courses offered cover a wide range of training protocols as well as assessing techniques and relevant theory - to be applied to any sport or rehabilitation situation.

At GB Fitness we do not believe in the current trend of correspondent courses ...

As you will see we at GB Fitness have a vast range of experience and so the course content will reflect this (We always recommend that you check WHO is teaching you, WHO wrote the courses and WHAT they have achieved with THEIR clients...all OUR details are here on this website). When it comes to employment potential we provide contact with two of the largest specialist recruitment companies in the UK ... we don't just throw you out there when you have qualified, we stay in touch and help you get going!

The courses are normally held in Birmingham, over weekends and accommodation can be arranged for you at heavily discounted rates.
Many travel from around the country as these courses offer the most comprehensive training, wide validation and at a fraction of the cost of many other companies...easy choice really!?

We can also offer courses in your area if the numbers are adequate and a suitable establishment can be arranged.

Why choose GB FITNESS for your exercise and nutrition education?
because above all you should be doing all that you can to ensure the information that you share (and likely charge for) is up-to-date, correct and proven in practice. In reality many of the courses available are taught by lecturers who have little direct involvement with clients and have had no input into the course construction - therefore knowledge may be limited. As an Exercise and Nutrition Consultant Cain and his trainers have worked with hundreds of clients from very different backgrounds and achieved great results by combining academic knowledge with practical experience. They have personally written these courses and deliver them to be on hand to answer any questions and explain any complexities as we progress through the course work. We set a high standard and assessments/exams are designed to fully test your new-found knowledge, as there are too many poor quality "trainers" in this industry. When dealing with a person's health we at GB Fitness feel it is important to be as professional as one can be!

My name is Paul Lennon and have been in the health & Fitness Industry for 6years now. Like many I have been attracted by some of the well known companies in the U.K who promise to deliver the most cutting edge research that is meant to provide you with the tools needed in the industry as a Fitness Instructor/P.T. After they happily take your lump sum of hard earned cash you eventually find yourself sitting the painfully easy exams and pass. Now you can go out into the industry as a brainwashed result of generic business development convinced you could give open heart surgery! I quickly began to realise as a freelance P.T I needed far more ammunition and a vast arrary of knowledge to be the best. That's When I turned to GB Fitness... I was already qualified as a P.T when I enroled onto the Adv Gym Instructors course and had gained my education through recognised groups such as NASM, WABBA, ACSM, YMCA, FOCUS and in house training from Esporta, LAfitness, Virgin Active, Fitness First and local leisure centres. Plus College qualifications as a sports therapist gaining a HND.

To cut a long story short I eventually completed all of the GB Fitness courses. They were all so advanced with the most cutting edge science needed to refine your knowledge and education to the optimum level. Understandable, non-confusing and yes, TOUGH! But this is what you should expect. GB Fitness taught me so much I actually had over and above the practical & theoretical knowledge to be the best in my field. I began to establish myself as a respectable, results based P.T and soon had many regular clients achieving their hard gained goals. I even had work referred from chiropractors, G.P's and physiotherapists.

Due to the abundence of knowledge I gained from GB Fitness I now work onboard luxury cruise liners around the world. Working for the biggest spa group in the world called 'Steiner' and have been on 3 different liners and 3 different cruise ship companies. I have traveled the Med, Caribbean, Alaska, South America, Australia and the South Pacific. I am Currently on the Pacific Sun cruising to Fiji... Because of the enhanced skils and knowledge Cain was able to teach I was promoted to the Fitness Director. This includes doing body composition analysis tests (BCA), 4 classes a day ranging from aerobics, pilates, yoga, stretch and abs...I also did P.T, seminars on health topics such as-Detox for Weight Loss, Fire Up Your Metabolism, Secrets to a Flatter Stomach, Healthy Back & Abs, Eat More To Weigh Less and finally Fats that heal Fats that Kill form Dr Udo Erasmus. I also got to go form ship to ship, training other fitness guys who lacked the nutritional knowledge to make them the best. GB Fitness has truly been the gold stamp to my own success so far and accepted around the world, I am proof! With the knowledge and skills obtained from GB Fitness qualifications the sky seriously is the limit and you can only continue to improve.

Yours Truly:
Paul Lennon
