    Online Personal Training Student

    “I’ve just completed Level 2 and Level 3 courses with OriGym online. I found the course engaging and I learned a great deal, especially about the physiology of training, which was fascinating and has led me to independent reading on the subject. I also enjoyed learning about training systems and planning progressions – I am looking forward to putting this into practice. On the occasions that I needed input from the tutors, this was forthcoming and the in-person assessments were conducted very well, with lots of useful feedback.”
