  • Sophie Longmire

    Sophie Longmire

    OriGym Level 3 PT Student

    “It’s been a really wonderful experience throughout with OriGym. The courses are very informative with excellent teaching points – the tutors and assessors have been nothing shy of amazing and extremely helpful! Love it and fully recommend it to anyone looking for a fitness career!”

  • Susan Rose

    Susan Rose

    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.”

  • Matthew Briggs

    Former Professional Footballer

    “After playing football my entire life, I’ve been recently thinking about what to do post football. A natural progression for me is becoming a personal trainer to utilise my skills and experience. After researching the best providers, OriGym came up with a big online presence and I was impressed by what I saw. After looking through other testimonials, as well as student reviews, OriGym seemed the logical choice and I’m glad I chose to learn with them.”
