FAQ's

Not at all, as this course is designed for any individual no matter what the fitness level.

Besides a notebook and pen unless you are on one of our instructor courses, you will only need your normal gym gear, a sweat towel, snacks and a bottle of water to keep yourself hydrated whilst training as we provide all other relevant training equipment.

However, if you have your own kit you are more than welcome to bring it (trainee instructors shadowing courses will be expected to have their own kit).

If you book a course and cannot make it then we can offer you an alternative date if the one you booked does not suit for whatever reason. You just need to let us know which alternative date(s) suit and we can make the change. We will not, however, refund a course unless the request is over 28 days before the course start date.

YES! If we have spaces we will calculate the cost, invoice & collect payment accordingly if this is what you wish to do. Just let us know.

No experience needed.  12 years old is the youngest we can allow on this course.
