Achieving greatness is only possible when you surround yourself with great people. I was extremely lucky to be introduced to John at an early age. His level of knowledge on training, nutrition, recovery and psychology is incredible and his methods are a core factor in shaping where I am in my career today. If you are serious about becoming a successful personal trainer then the PT Academy is the only option
I was a bit nervous doing the course as I was really into the gym but so much of the material was completely new to me and I kept getting overwhelmed with the volume of work but the team at the PT Academy could not have been more supportive and encouraging. John in particular was so good at explaining things and had the patience of a saint when it came to student questions. Doing their course is one of the best decisions I've ever made
I did my course back in 2017 and put a lot of time into researching my options but nothing came close to what the PT Academy offered. To say they over delivered on what I expected is an understatement. The course experience was excellent but what was invaluable to me personally was being able to pick up the phone to John long after the course had finished and get his guidance when starting my own business. It's why I have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone who wants to become a successful personal trainer
