Level 4 Personal Trainer Courses Testimonials

  • Sianna Lunn

    Sianna Lunn

    OriGym Level 4 Student

    “I chose a package of 4 courses to advance my knowledge within a career in the back pain industry. The packages were flexible and it was easy to build the courses to suit my own requirements. I found the response time with online chats to be almost instant and always very helpful. I love having a dashboard so I can quickly see my progress and ‘tick off’ each module section. Practical assessments are organised and professional with friendly staff. It’s been a really easy way to return to learning and the flexibility of the course suits a busy lifestyle and full time work”.

    “After being in and around professional sport for 13 years, this is a natural progression after learning from World Leading S&C coaches. Becoming a personal trainer will allow me to implement this knowledge for helping people and helping people achieve their goals away from sport. I’d really want to focus on helping people in their everyday lives through both mental and physical wellbeing. OriGym’s tutors have been excellent, with great feedback and the content is perfect for someone looking to get started in the industry.”

It was important for me to see a lot of positive reviews, as well as the course content looked thorough and in depth. I chose this course to add another dimension and skillset to my business. If I can utilise the framework provided by OriGym, I will be able to develop a successful business and educate anyone from the general public to professional athletes.”

  • Christina Whittingham

    Christina Whittingham

    “I was a teacher for years, and struggled to get pregnant, then demoted myself and focused on getting pregnant. I then had two children and lost all confidence so decided to train to teach yoga- and thought the only way people would come is if they had free coffee.”

    “I applied for the course in August, created the classes in September, had sold out classes by October, started 5 more in Jan and have the biggest yoga event in Manchester in March and it’s sold out.”

  • Alex Goulding

    “OriGym is a fantastically organised and engaging course. The staff are very knowledgeable and offer great in person and online options. I completed my Level 2 & Level 3 Personal Training Qualifications with OriGym and recently undertook my Level 3 GP Referral Course assessment. I am currently studying my Level 4 obesity and diabetes course. Since graduating, I have collaborated with a number of gyms and brought my services and expertise to these spaces. It is wonderful being a part of a person’s fitness journey and watching them grow with my guidance.”
