I had the pleasure of working with Rob Barraclough during my Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications with Train Fitness back in 2020, and more recently during my exercise and nutrition for menopause professional discussion assessment.

Although I didn’t have regular one-to-one contact throughout the courses, every interaction I had with Rob was positive, professional, and supportive. He was approachable, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed environment during my professional discussion, which helped me feel at ease and able to perform to the best of my ability.

Rob demonstrated a high level of expertise and was able to explain concepts clearly while maintaining a professional and encouraging approach. His feedback was constructive and fair, and it was evident that he genuinely wanted learners to succeed.

Train Fitness has provided me with valuable qualifications that have helped me develop as a fitness professional, and Rob played an important part in that journey.

Thank you for your support and professionalism throughout my learning experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have just completed the L2 Gym instructor course with the in-person weekend sessions.
The online learning is very comprehensive. Dives deep into the science and covers everything you need to know to have a successful career in fitness. The in person sessions were excellent. My tutor Rob is an excellent teacher and definitely taught me everything I need to be a confident fitness trainer. He is very personable and extremely knowledgeable- without him I don’t think I would have flourished. He is truly one of the stars at Train Fitness. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to break into the fitness industry. Worth every penny!

This was a great experience! The help desk was quick to respond and provide excellent assistance when needed!

I've just finished (and passed!) my Level 2 Gym Instructor Qualification with Train Fitness after being recommended this company by a few colleagues.

No wonder it comes so highly recommended! Even as a distance learner I felt taken care of - the course material is thorough, insightful, up-to-date and logical to follow. The example videos were so helpful as I was studying part-time from home - but the most important thing for me, was the ability to pick up the phone and chat to the Learner Success Team. Both Ben and Katie helped me numerous times and gave such lovely words of encouragement, even when I had worries/was nervous about completing my practical assesment!

Even though I was completing this course away from a physical environment, I still felt like I was getting a world-class education, and that the tutors really wanted me to succeed. Thanks Train Fitness team - can't wait to see where this journey takes me! :)

Overall great company to study under, really helpful and friendly, guidance was easy to follow and great communication, couldn’t recommend more.

My Personal experience with TRAINFITNESS has been second to none. The course challenged me, enriched my knowledge and built my confidence in my own abilities. At times I was out of my comfort zone, questioning how to study, work and be a full time single mum.
The support I received from Ben (my tutor) was outstanding!! He reassured, encouraging, coached and made me feel at ease. Knowing I had a tutor on the end of a message or a call really helped my journey to achieving my goal to become a personal trainer. Im now keen to sign up to more courses with TRAINFITNESS, I just wish I had signed up years ago!!!

I completed my Advanced Stretching Practical virtually with Rob, and the experience worked far better than I expected. He made the online format genuinely effective and accessible, drawing on years of practical experience and insight that go well beyond what you find in textbooks.

The session was also made more engaging by the other participants, which helped create a strong group dynamic throughout the day. I had originally signed up for an in-gym assessment, which wasn’t possible at the time, but the virtual delivery exceeded my expectations and proved to be just as effective.

Had a great experience as a distance learner. Ben was such a helpful teacher and so easy to contact whenever I had a question. Definitely take advantage of the eclasses, they're a tremendous help!

Very professional and helpful

I attended the Level 2 and Level 3 Fitness Qualification courses and had an excellent experience throughout. The programme was well-structured, and the support provided by the team was outstanding.

My tutor, Kate, was exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely supportive. She took great care to ensure I fully understood the material, which was especially important as English is not my first language. Her guidance and encouragement made a significant difference to my learning experience.

I would also like to thank Radek for his consistent support and responsiveness in answering my questions over the phone, as well as Ben for his assistance with my lab changes. Both were professional, approachable, and very helpful.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with the course and the level of support I received. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to develop their fitness qualifications.

Very intuitive courses, material was great, the support was responsive and friendly. Completing the courses were streamline and any questions i had were quickly cleared up - would highly recommend these guys!

I have just completed my Ante and Post Natal course with Trainfitness. The course was easy to follow, accessible and a great addition for any pre qualified level 3 personal trainers to add to their CV. There are plenty of different assessment methods and knowledge checking throughout the course. Completing the work sheet and case study really help to solidify the knowledge gained. Ensure that you already have a passion for this side of coaching/training and you will really enjoy the course and get plenty from it. I didn't use learner support during this course but having done my level 2 and 3 previously with Trainfitness I know I can trust their expertise and knowledge to help me through.

I enjoy my yoga course so much. The content is beyond what I would have imagined, and I learn so many new and useful things. The support is exceptional, and the response time is always super quick whenever I reach out to the learner success team.

I had a great experience on this course with fantastic staff throughout. I decided to take a Pilates course as it had always been something I was interested in, and I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the content. The support from the learner success team and the dedicated tutors was exceptional. Thank you all for your help—I would definitely recommend TrainFitness to others.

I originally signed up to complete my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications in person, but Train Fitness later moved the delivery to virtual/online. I’ll be honest - at that point I started to regret choosing them. However, after completing both courses with Katie late last year, I couldn’t be happier that I stuck with Train Fitness.

Katie was outstanding throughout. She was always available outside course dates for advice or support, and she completely removed any doubts I had about learning to be a PT online. The courses were educational, engaging, and far more enjoyable than I expected.

Since then, I’ve also completed my Outdoor Fitness and Nutrition course with Ben as my assessor, and he couldn’t have been more helpful.

There may be cheaper providers out there, but if you want to do it properly, learn from genuinely professional people, and walk away with certified qualifications, choose Train Fitness.

Those five stars are for Ben!

Honestly I don't know where this place would be without him. I won't lie there were some admin issues and I think the way you access your exams etc could be revised - but the in person classes with Ben are second to none!

His breadth of knowledge is incredible - going into the industry I still go by the "what would/did Ben say" standard. And I've felt so supported by him during the sessions and beyond.

You'll learn so so much and have fun doing it! He is a DIAMOND!

I honestly couldn’t recommend this course enough!!!
While the course itself was great, the real reason my experience was so powerful was because of our trainer, Ben.
Ben goes so far beyond just “teaching.” He genuinely cares about every single person in the room and puts so much energy into making sure you not only understand the material, but actually believe in yourself. He created such a safe, supportive environment where I felt comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow in confidence every single day.
Making a career change is a big and scary step, and before starting this course I definitely had doubts about whether I was good enough. The imposter syndrome was REALLLL! But Ben completely changed that. He has this incredible way of bringing out the best in people and helping you see your own potential, even when you can’t see it yourself.
Because of him, I’ve come away not just with a qualification, but with confidence, clarity, and genuine excitement about my future. I’m now stepping into my new career as a Personal Trainer feeling proud, capable, and, most importantly, happy! :D
I can honestly say I wouldn’t be in this position without Ben. The impact he’s had on me goes far beyond the classroom and gym floor, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

I want to give rob a big shout out for been soo patient and been a massive help in qualifying in level 3 PT I have dyslexia and it’s been challenging at times but rob made things seem a lot easier explaining things very clearly he's a great guy and a good asset to your team

I have just completed the L3 Gp Exercise Referral Course via distance learning. I used a mixture of the App and going on the student desktop on my laptop. The only frustration I had was my poor Wi-Fi signal which slowed things down, and my lack of technical knowledge when it came to submitting my video assessment (which had to be compressed before submitting).

There were tutors on hand to support via 'Learner Support' on the app and student desktop. They were also happy to take/return calls and I always found them to be helpful and pleasant.
