Customer Reviews

  • I recently completed my Level 3 Exercise Referral qualification with Storm Fitness Academy, and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. There are so many providers out there in health and fitness qualifications where it feels like you're being ripped off, so it was a massive relief to find a company I could genuinely trust. Jon (the tutor and founder) was incredibly supportive throughout the course and has continued to offer great support even after qualifying. The online learning platform was intuitive and easy to navigate, the course materials were high quality, and Jon always marked work really quickly with constructive, detailed feedback. I highly recommend Storm Fitness Academy to anyone looking to gain reputable fitness qualifications!

  • My experience doing my level 2 and 3 PT was amazing! I’m so glad I chose to do it online, as it made it a lot more manageable alongside everything else. The course was really well laid out, which made the learning and assessment process straightforward and easy to follow. I’ve learnt so much throughout the course and feel like it’s given me a really good foundation to start my career as a fully qualified PT. I’m really excited to put everything I’ve learnt into practice and continue developing my knowledge- will do my GP referral through them too!!

  • I've recently completed my L2 and L3 with Storm Fitness. Jon and the team were always so helpful and quick to get back to my questions, and always very supportive when I had any difficulties completing my assessments. The course material is very thorough and I liked the mix of videos and written content. I also enjoyed the workshops. It wasn't easy learning again after so many years, but I got there in the end and am now really excited about embarking on my fitness career in my late 40s. I'd definitely recommend Storm Fitness!

  • Just completed and passed my level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. The course was easy to follow and there was always support. I particularly enjoy the in person workshops. If you're considering this but maybe think its too late, it's not. I'm in my mid 50s and about to embark on my own business as a personal trainer

  • I can't recommend Storm Fitness Academy enough for their Level 4 S&C course. From the start, the team provided exceptional guidance and support, making a complex subject easy to understand. The course content was comprehensive and practical, and the workshops were a great way to put the theory into practice. What really stood out was the quality of the tutors. They are clearly experts in their field and genuinely passionate about helping their students succeed. I had a great experience from start to finish and feel I've been set up for success in my career. Thank you, Storm Fitness Academy!
