Michael Clegg

Former Premier League Footballer & current S&C Coach for Man Utd

"In addition to being a Powerlifting World Championship Athlete I also work as a Senior Manager for the NHS. This obviously means that things have been very busy, so a flexible solution was my preference. 

The structure of how the course is set out, the adaptions made to make it work during lockdown, and the support you get made it easy to fit around my commitments - and I actually quite enjoyed doing something different! 

I thought that doing a course during lockdown would have been difficult, but Study Active have made it so easy every step of the way. 

All the learning materials are there when you want them, and the support is always available even when doing sessions outside of 'normal working hours"

Julie Davis

Powerlifting World Championship Athlete and Senior NHS Manager

“As a Great Britain International Athlete, I can now go forward with the knowledge and confidence as a Personal Trainer and use the skills which I have learnt from this course to build my own Personal Training business. 

The support that I have been given throughout has been superb and has been a big part of helping me through every step of the course. 

I found the workshops both interesting and motivational, and these helped me further my own one to one fitness coaching skills. 

The online learning material covered everything needed to prepare for the theory test and gave me a clear understanding of all aspects of becoming a Personal Trainer. 

I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to pursue their career in the health & fitness sector.”
