COVID Confident - COVID-19 Recovery Course

HFE covid 19 module undertaken
HFE covid 19 module undertaken. Comprehensive overview with excellent resources to link into to keep up to date. Well designed and easy to use format. Liked self testing questionnaires at the end of chapters.
Really useful, practical and concise course on COVID-19 and perfect for those returning to the sports and fitness industry as lockdown eases. Lots of really useful tips, pointers and references to further advice and reading. Well done HFE - thank you.
Really well-referenced course with great resources and easy to use platform. It's really helped me get an understanding of exercises to help post-Covid clients on the path to exercising again.
I find studying hard as I am dyslexic but with HFE they have video lectures which I found amazing and so clear. My tutor Stacey was always happy to help me anytime I needed it. I did their Pilates course in which the tutor's there was so passionate about fitness. Highly recommend HFE.
I did my Level 2 Excercise to Music qualification with HFE. They were brilliant from start to finish. My training manuals arrived quickly and someone was always available to help over the phone when I needed it. I found the teachers on the practical days very informative and thorough too. I hope to one day do my Level 3 and will definitely use HFE again.
I chose this online course to save travel and it seemed thorough in its assessment process. This is no mickey-mouse course.The material was thorough and it was so helpful (and appreciated) to have a hard copy manual sent as part of the package. This complemented the online materials.The assessment forms demonstrated the benefits of planning in advance and I benefitted from the preparation - on the day of the session there was an on site incident & next door's college fire alarm went off so lots of people passing the window of the pool during the session; technological problems with filming, and printing taught me a lot, too. However, the greatest learning came from the preparation and considering the participant needs and safety requirements in detail. Ultimately, the instructor's role is to deliver to the participant(s) and this course provides all that's required. Going through this course has not only given me the confidence to be and motivation to improve as an "aquafit" instructor, it has enhanced my effectiveness in other instructor situations.Very good support by phone.I will be investing in HFE for courses in the future.
I had full-time support from a designated tutor who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the course and its requirements. I was also given access to a very comprehensive online Learning Management system on which I could accurately track my progress
Took my level 2 gym instructor course with HFE and the training and education was amazing, the detail and quality on this course is unmatched and I can't recommend them enough, their customer support team are great too and very fast to help with whatever you need!
Professional and friendly company – L2 gym instructor and L3 exercise referral course
I have recently completed both my L2 gym instructor and L3 exercise referral qualifications with HFE and overall I am extremely impressed with HFE as a company. The process was simple and efficient from signing up to completion with a level of professionalism shown by all of the staff I had contact with. The manuals and learning material were of a high quality which I have not seen by other training providers. The course weekends are a great opportunity to practice your skills and improve your knowledge and the tutors are full of helpful tips!
Thanks so much HFE for being fab and getting me through my courses.
I have been doing the L2 Gym Instructor Course online. My tutor is Sophie Burdett and she has been really supportive throughout. I am a mature student and it was quite daunting when I initially started the course but Sophie has been brilliant. I have regular calls with her, she is very knowledgeable and really helpful.
It took a while of talking myself into doing the Level 2 Gym and Level 3 PT course as I am 50 years old in a couple of months and wasnt sure if I was too old, but lockdown and the current situation has taught me that you take nothing for granted and do what makes you happy - now! The encouragement and help I have received from my tutor Sophie Burdett has been and still is very re-assuring, she is a valuable member of HFE. I love the new knowledge I am learning. A very happy mum making her grown up children proud - Age is but a number!
I have found Sophie's help with my Level 2 gym instructing qualification so helpful. She has been so keen to help and explain, answering all my email/ question promptly. Really recommend Sophie's help!
A great fitness training provider, very professional and organised. My course tutor Sophie Burdett was very helpful and responsive, guiding me through the stages of my Level 2 Gym Instructor course. I'm now looking forward to continuing my other training courses with HFE with the knowledge that Sophie, and later on Stacey will be on-hand when I need help and guidance.I would definitely recommend HFE to anyone looking to start a career within the fitness industry.
Really happy to have passed my level 2 gym instructors course and couldnt of done it without the help of my personal tutor Sophie. Really supportive and gave really good advise to help with the coursework and exams. Thank you very much next up level 3
I started my L2 Gym instructor last year, throughout that time my tutor, Sophie, gave me regular support calls to track my progress and answer any questions I had along with providing me with plenty of feedback. She was very supportive and easy to talk to. The company was also considerate as they supported me when I got injured and they helped reassure me by providing another month until my deadline. Overall HFE is a fantastic company, which provides detailed courses and qualifications, ready to prepare people to begin there dreams of becoming a gym instructor or PT. I shall definitely be completing my level 3 with HFE later this year.
Great support from Sophie and GreggAmazing support from Sophie and Gregg at HFE for the Level 2 Gym Instructor Course. Really making my journey towards qualifying very enjoyable!
I am currently working on my gym instructor course to then move forward with my level 3 PT course. Sophie, my tutor has offered me such fantastic support throughout my course. She provides regular catch-up calls with me to go through any questions I have or anything I have struggled with, she has a great way of explaining I may find a challenge in a way so much simpler to understand. I have found the study books and lecture series provided by HFE great but a massive thank you to Sophie for all the regular support.

I recently completed my Level Gym Instructor course with HFE and I really enjoyed the experience! The tutors and learning environment were fantastic! Sophie especially helped me a lot!
Would definitely recommend!
Level 2 Fitness Instruction was a brilliant course! Very useful material, Gil was a very helpful tutor and always responded very quickly, he would also call to check in!
I am so so so glad I did my learning through this organisation. They don't look to fail you, they do everything they can to help you pass on the attendance course dates as well as the coursework provided online.
HFE made the level 2 gym instructing course a really enjoyable experience with help from start to finish. Gil is a brilliant tutor and very understanding and always checked in and offered help whenever it was needed.
I would like to thank hfe for all your support in my journey to achieve Level 2 Exercise to music I found it challenging and also very interesting doing the anatomy & physiology part, Janine Ransom was my tutor and I found her very helpful and supportive throughout the course and spending time with me to help me better understand things in my hour of need ! I found that the weekends spent with other hfe staff were so encouraging and helpful nothing was to much trouble ! And learning with a lovely bunch of girls , thanks again Id highly recommend this company
I've used HFE for my Exercise to Music and Pre/Post Natal Qualifications. They have been very helpful and easy to contact. My tutor for the Exercise to Music weekends was amazing. Highly recommend!
Am half way through my L2 Exercise to Music course and whilst it is certainly a challenge, I am really enjoying it and feel very well supported. The training manuals were sent in the post very quickly and the online material is easily accessible, clear and very easy to understand. The practical weekend in London with Steph MacKeown was just amazing! I feel very fortunate to have had her as my weekend practical instructor - she worked us hard and I was knackered by the end - but she was very inclusive, kind, supportive and very encouraging! My course tutor Dawn Rafferty has been super supportive, kind, caring on the end of a phone and has been very helpful with both the practical and theoretical side of my work, looking through and discussing my work! Her encouraging words have been important to me and her advice, weekly tasks and chats have helped keep me on track! I always look forward to speaking with her! Ive still got lots of work to do to qualify, but am glad I chose HFE so far and would recommend them as a training provider to anyone who is thinking of doing their L2 course!
Just achieved my certificate in level 2 gym instructing! Thank you very much to Sophie and Frazer for all of the help! Sophie was amazing for when you needed any help or additional information and helped support me throughout the course, I would highly recommend!
I absolutely loved the ETM course with HFE. The detail in the manuals has given me a fantastic knowledge and understanding moving forward. I would recommend this course.
I'm booked for the exercise to music course. The booking process was super easy, the staff very helpful and friendly and very prompt in responding. I'm looking forward to the course
As a dance instructor for many years I wanted to up my skill level and learn how to put on ETM classes. I did a bit of research came across lots of courses but FHE stood out to me, gave them a ring to get more information didn'tget any hard selling from them which i liked. So glad I booked it for me the fact you can do blended learning, as I have two children it was easy to do physical lessons at at the weekends at Total Fitness, Wilmslow had the pleasure of having the incredible Jodie as my tutor and the amazing Tracy they gave me great advice, critical evaluation which I liked.I would 10000% recommend this course to others it is worth every penny.Thank you so much for helping me achieve and power through even when it got hard for me. Ps Can I work for HFE now
Despite Covid-19 causing disruption, HFE were there!
Despite Covid-19 causing cancellations, delays and disappointments to our Worthing ETM2 course, HFE brought in on-line exams which saved the day for me. The first weekend in March was great - Steph is a super inspirational teacher and gave me confidence. Janine was really helpful on line and on the phone answering any questions or queries I had.
I would have preferred to have had the second weekend at Worthing for the practical assessments rather than video, but it is difficult times for everyone, learning curves to adapt haven't been easy for any industry or individual.
I passed thanks to the support of those
I loved learning through self- study and I really enjoyed the training weekends. The tutors provide incredible support and they have such a deep knowledge of the subject that they brilliantly deliver and transfer to the students.
Danielle my mentor/tutor was amazing! Always supportive and there if I needed her. Gave me great feedback when I needed it to improve my work! Great course! Keep your head down, study hard and you will pass.
I fully recommend anyone wishing to embark on a career in fitness or indeed add to their current fitness qualifications to contact HFE.
I am currently studying for my ETM Level 2 and right from the very start I have been impressed by the level of professionalism demonstrated by not only my tutor Gary McDonald, but also Yvette Sanderson with whom I have just completed my practical training.
Give them a call...you won't be disappointed!
I recently completed the ETM course. My tutor Dani has been really helpful with weekly check in calls to give me advise and assurance. Natalie who delivered the practical training was fab and really inspiring.
I have recently completed and hoping that I passed the Level 2 Exercise to Music course with HFE. My support tutor Dani couldnt have been more supportive and available. She replied to all my emails in less than 2 working days and unless I cancelled a tutorial was available to speak to at least every two weeks, more if I would have wanted. She was incredibly supportive and informative, always having a sound and sensible answer to my questions. I really felt that she had my back and wanted me to pass. Steph McKeown my (main) course tutor was excellent and there were two other tutors who were shadowing her who were also supportive, kind and couldnt do enough for us. I was so grateful to all of them and they made a great team. Angela, who was my assessor on the day of my practical exam was also kind, patient and encouraging in her feedback. I appreciated feedback and support from all the tutors and cant recommend this part of the programme support enough. The learning portal was a bit clunky in places and wasnt particularly straightforward to navigate. However Dani came to my rescue with finding stuff. The course was challenging and I had to work hard but always felt that the tutors wanted me to succeed.
I have completed my practical assessment for exercise to music level 2. Had a really good experience, tutors are lovely and really supportive. I would highly recommend to anyone who is considering doing this course.
Just competed the ETM course with HFE and absolutely loved it. The coursework books and info were sent as soon as I booked on and alongside the online LES you are given all the background theoretical grounding for the course in a logical structured way. The practical weekends were the best. They teach you so much, giving you the skills and confidence to become a fitness instructor. Jodie as a personal tutor has been such a positive influence and support. Jodie and Tracey on the practical weekends had so much energy, knowledge and brilliant teaching styles that I felt I came away with more than I ever expected. There was lots of work to fit into the weekends but it was so much fun especially working alongside a great team of people on the course. Was so inspirational and would definitely recommend it. Thank you Jodie and Tracey and my brilliant course mates.
I found the course very good, informative and useful. It was a good experience and I am happy to fulfill it as it will help me for my dance classes in the future. The instructors are helpful and freindly.
I have taken Anatomy & Physiology 2 & 3, Yoga, Nutrition and Exercise Referral - love the way you can just teach yourself in your own time and enjoyed the weekend sessions. I would like the opportunity to attend CPD's on all I have studied say once every 6 months at local venues.Thanks - looking to take Older Adults now!
Sophie Burdett was my tutor/superstar mentor during my course, she helped me with the tricky anatomy and physiology side of the course and adapted the revision style to suit my needs, Sophie helped me by applying real life situations to the A&P which helped it stick in my mind, she provided honest feedback on areas I struggled with and recapped the following week making sure I understood it, she has a sense of humour which always helps whilst studying and she was there with guidance in regards to the more practical/ gym based knowledge also. I spoke with Soph twice a week on some occasions especially closer to my exam and this helped me immensely and she followed up to see how I was after the course and she also made me slow down with certain sections of the studying as I often rush ahead, we broke the info into manageable chunks. helpful and sense of humour and personable and great knowledge of A&P and able to adapt to suit my learning style. thanks Soph! :)
A very good course with very friendly teachers and staff who are always available to talk and help out (Dawn was great). The level three anatomy exam is hard, so a bit more support with that learning would be great, but overall great.
Excellent support, good combination of practical and self-study elements.
The Level 2 and Level 3 PT qualification combined practical and theory / self study aspects so it was so manageable to learn and progress through at a good pace. The practical course tutors were a great resource and so good at motivating and helping you to succeed. I think the combined practical and theory style course is an absolute must for anyone looking to get qualified. Superb support from my tutor Stacey throughout the qualification, I was able to stay on track and make sure I submitted all the coursework in good time and that I was well prepared for the theory exams. HFE provide a good amount of resources both online and in handbooks to help you learn and pass the qualification, as well as access to helpful articles from professionals in the industry. Only constructive feedback I would say would be some of the information could be presented more clearly, the manuals are quite conversational in nature so you've got to dig a bit for the information you need.
level 2 and level 3 gym and Pt. Sophie Burdett, Ashley Wane and John Williams have been absolute brilliant. I have learnt so so much! the wealth of knowledge from Ash and John is absolutely on point and since Sophie took over as my Tutor everything logistically and help with my studies outside the practical weekend was invaluable. Want to thanks you all and applaud the work you are doing!
I must say that I have had exceptional customer service by Gary at HFE. Really personable and friendly and has walked me through the process of starting my level 3 PT Qualification. Happy days!
I have recently completed my Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training & the guys at HFE have been amazing! I originally had Sophie as my tutor and she was on hand to help every step of the way. Shortly after Sophie had left, Jodie became my tutor. She has been super helpful also with any theory questions I may have & gets back to emails very quick also. I needed a slight extension at the end of the course to get all my exams back and Jodie was amazing at helping me extend the deadline, making it super quick and easy. Both tutors were very personable, knowledgeable & professional individuals whom are a credit to the company. I am very impressed with the support system that comes with the course. nnIn terms of the course content, it is very easy to navigate LES & the theory books provided contain all the information you need! nnPlease note: some people have left bad reviews claiming a lack of support. This is not true, the support is there if needed but you need to ask for it and communicate with your tutor!!!
I have just achieved my Diploma for Level 2+3 Personal Training with HFE. The experience was great. I felt like I could reach out for the necessary support at any time via my tutor, Sophie Burdett. She helped coordinate through a pretty packed schedule when I could be getting small bouts of revision done, this helped massively as at some points I found it easy to get overwhelmed with the large work load I though I had.
I've recently completed the above course with Health and Fitness Education and have been completely satisfied with the standard of training and assessment. Everything they said they will do they did, and more. I completed a similar course with another provider last year but even though they said I would get a first class service, it didn't materialize as such. As everyone else seems to be saying below, these guys really do offer a first class training service!
Such a brilliant company , started studying during lockdown with super helpful and friendly online support from my tutor Sophie Burdett. When restrictions had lifted face to face weekends were able to happen which again had really supportive and informative tutors and also a great range of other students too which made the weekends great fun! The qualifications along with all the constant help and support from HFE has now led me to my dream job working in one of the best fitness clubs in London! Could not recommend a better tutors and course!!
I am on the online level 3 PT diploma course, I was worried I wouldnt get as much support being online however my mentor sophie has been fantastic and I couldnt recommend her more!
I had a great experience with HFE gaining my level 3 in personal training. My tutor Stacey was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She answered any questions I had promptly and was always patient and encouraging. Thankyou for a great experience. Cheers, Luke
I transferred from the standard to the online L3 PT course during covid lockdown. Initially I was apprehensive about doing it all online, but HFE has organised everything so well that I would recommend the L3 PT course to everyone. Sophie Burdett is such a good tutor. She gave me exactly the right amount of support and encouragement. She is very positive and she guided me well throughout. Highly recommended! 5 stars
Just finished my PT qualification with HFE. They are a great company full of really knowledgable and friendly support tutors who are very willing to help you every step of the way. My support tutor was Sophie, she was a brilliant tutor and was always on the end of the phone if I had any questions or needed some support with the course. Thank you Sophie and all the team at HFE.
HFE was a great place to get my personal training qualification. The layout and structure of the course was engaging and easy to follow. My tutor, Sophie, was incredibly supportive throughout my journey. She was always eager to help and provided me with with guidance that kept me on track whenever I ran into difficulties. I would definitely recommend gaining a qualification here and starting your journey in personal training.
Really recommend the HFE courses. Im currently completing my level 3 PT course online and the help from my tutor Sophie and other tutors on the team has been outstanding. Very supporting and encouraging!
I recently completed my Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training with HFE. The course had excellent materials, great organisation, and excellent support from my tutor Stacey. Stacey was always on hand to give advice and provide valuable insight to keep me on track.Big thanks to HFE and Stacey.
Over the last year I've been working on achieving my L3 qualification in Personal Training with HFE, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the overall process, my growth, and the content that I've received from the course. Each phase of learning has been methodically structured and is rich with interesting and real-world applicable information that will help any potential PT get up to speed with the industry and how to successfully and safely train their clients. My tutor for the course was Sophie Burdett, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She always made herself available at any time to jump on a call with me if I was stuck or had questions about the course materials or my assessments, and delivered relevant and useful information and tips that really helped me prepare for anything the course would throw at me. I'm very grateful for the excellent support I received from Sophie!All in all I've loved learning with HFE and will no doubt be continuing with some further learning through them. Thanks, Sam
Ive been studying for my L3 Personal Training qualification during the last 18 months. I switched to the online diploma last year to offer more flexibility with the pandemic. Sophie Burdett is my tutor and shes been fantastic at supporting me and answering the MANY questions I have fired her way! We have weekly calls and these have kept me on track with my studies. The course has been great and the online diploma has been set out particularly well. The only thing I would flag to anyone considering it is to make sure you have access to the facilities and equipment required for the practicals. I found the logistics around this challenging (particularly for L2 where you need to show a range of machines) and especially during the restrictions where getting access to a gym for me and my participants was more difficult. Obviously, HFE have to comply with the standards required, but its just something worth bearing in mind if you attend a small studio type gym like I do. Finally, would like to also say thank you to Amber who originally helped me when deciding whether the HFE course was right for me. She answered all of my questions and was patient in giving me time to decide if it was the right option for me. I had calls with other course providers that came across very sales-y and pushy and didnt feel like they were really listening to what I needed. As a disabled person hoping to become a personal trainer, the understanding and support from the staff has made a big difference as Ive had some more specific questions or requirements compared to others. I will also be considering the course for training with disabled clients once I am qualified.
Sophie was honestly a dream of a supervisor. Always on hand to help me where I needed it and ensured I was always comfortable and confident with the course throughout as well as showing she was confident in my personal abilities to get through the course. The course itself was very detailed and very well formatted to make it easy to go through. Would certainly recommend both HFE and Sophie to anyone looking to do a L2 and/or L3 Personal Training qualification in the future.
I was already teaching group exercise and wanted to get a level 3 Pilates qualification as well. I found the HFE course easy to follow with loads of support at every stage. Due to COVID 19 the practical side was taught on line, which I was a bit concerned about, but the teaching was excellent and I felt well prepared for teaching a class. All in all a good experience and would recommend.
Completing my level 2 Fitness Instructor & level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. The support from my tutor Sophie has been amazing, doing the course alongside a full time job and commute can be challenging, but Sophie has always been so supportive. I would definitely recommend to take on the challenge as you have all the support you need with the HFE team.
I started out on the face to face PT course and managed level two before lockdown hit and I had to switch to online. I have to say I found a lot of the online stuff quite tricky to navigate (e.g. Between the one computer, 3 laptops and 2 tablets in my household, none of them were compatible with the exam requirements!) and I also switched support tutor half way through the course without being told this was happening - I felt a bit lost and abandoned at this point, not helped by having to take a break from the course to have a baby. Once I connected with my new tutor Sophie over a few phone calls though things definitely got back on track, having lost my motivation and confidence a bit, and she really helped me with both of these. I had heard a lot of companies were struggling during the pandemic so overall I'm impressed with how HFE managed what must have been a tricky time and I don't know how much of the difficulties I had with the online elements are due to the strict criteria from YMCA rather than due to HFE. Overall I thought Sophie was really great, just not 100% sure I'd use the company again for future qualifications (but I'm not saying I definitely wouldn't. Helpful?!)
Ive had a great experience with my Gym instructor and PT course.Big thanks to my course tutor Sophie who was always on hand through my worries, she is extremely knowledgeable and always understood what I was asking. The course was in so much detail which I will be forever grateful for as it has given me a great insight and increased my own knowledge to a different standard I thought possible.
Level 3 Certificate in Planning and Delivering Personal Training (Online)
5
Great Support
When enquiring about the Level 3 online personal trainer course, Gregg took the time to thoroughly talk me through all aspects of the course and answer my questions. Due to all his invaluable knowledge I have now signed up for the course and I am very excited to get started.
Awesome online PT experience. Booked pre-COVID and I ended up transferring to the online course because of lockdown measures. Has taken me a little longer than I planned and it was tougher than I expected but overall, I’m really happy with the service I’ve received. It’s certainly not easy and you do have to be disciplined, but overall, couldn’t have asked for more.
I chose the Level 3 Personal Trainer course online. I was very nervous as I am in my late 50s so was worried learning might not be so easy. I can honestly say the support I had from Sophie and Stacey was awesome and they made me feel at ease. They were always available to take my call and especially helped me through my exams.
Training with HFE has been great! Sophie has always been available for one to one support and has given enoumous guideance and encouragement throughout my course.
Highly recommended!
Sophie and the hfe team have been amazing throughout my level 3 Pt course I couldn’t be happier with the level of support I’ve received and the quality of the feedback which has been given to help me develop further.
Hfe as a company are brilliant for online resources and Sophie couldn’t of helped me more through the last few months of my course giving me feedback on my progress throughout lockdown.
Having signed up for the L3 PT course last summer, I feared COVID and all the restrictions would prevent me from qualifying and force me to wait, but the switch to online learning and assessment could not have been smoother. I received excellent support and guidance from Sophie, my tutor, who was always available to answer questions and provide instruction via email or telephone whenever I needed it. Sitting exams online felt a little daunting at first, but all the systems were put in place to ensure all obstacles could be overcome and video assessments were marked quickly and thoroughly, with lots of great feedback that is sure to stand me in good stead for the future. Studying to become a personal trainer has been such a pleasure and I'm thrilled to have passed the course and qualified in such challenging times. I'm working with clients already, and couldn't be more grateful to Sophie and HFE and helping me to launch my new career and give me so much to look forward to in the future. Thank-you!
I really enjoyed this Sports Massage Level 3 course with HFE. It's been a great journey. The tutors, teachers and everyone on the course was a real pleasure meeting. I had so much fun and learned a lot along the way. Thank you Stacey for all your help and support. You have been wonderful with any questions and concerns I had. You reassured me when needed. Thank you ever so much!
Level 3 sports massage therapist course with Hara & LornaI have now done 3 different HFE courses and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. However this last one with Hara and Lorna, stands out in my mind due them being amazing instructors and as a general just just fun, kind and caring people
An excellent course with enthusiastic, helpful and driven tutors who are always available to support you with any problems. I couldnt have felt more welcome into the world of sports massage. It was a bit far away for me to get to the training/assessment days, but I live in rural South West England so theres not much they can do there.
Overall, I would recommend Hfe to anyone who is wanting to further their knowledge. I found Stacey, my support tutor, very knowledgeable, supportive and considerate to my needs. Anneka, my practical tutor, was welcoming, knowledgeable, and good at providing clear demonstrations. Rick was quick to resolve issues that arose on my course and was helpful and considerate of my needs. However, I found Sam, who was my first practical tutor, condescending, patronising, and just plain rude.
This sports massage course was excellent. It was well explained from the start by the course tutor who led me through what I needed to learn and what to do to pass the assessments online before coming to the practical weekends. The practical part of the course was well led by Hara and very enjoyable. We went through the whole process of how to set up in sports massage and how to treat the client in the most professional way using certain techniques and massage strokes for different situations eg. Pre and post event and maintenance. Through doing the course I have been given all the information and skills to be successful in delivering sports massage in the most professional manner. Would highly recommend ☺️
Sports Massage Therapy. Excellent course. Wonderful training weekends in a supportive and professional environment. Highly recommend. Be warned- there is a lot of work to do in advance, so be prepared. The study guides and videos have everything you need.
I would like to thank Rick, Stacey and Harra for the incredible support throughout the sports massage course I completed. Stacey provided excellent support via email or phone call with quick responses to my questions and concerns. On the course itself, Harra showed outstanding energy and brought so much to the course and made it enjoyable and informative. It was great to learn from Harra as she is very knowledgeable within the area. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations and I’m grateful that I chose to complete this course with HFE. I hope that in the future HFE can offer level 4 and level 5 of Sports Massage Therapy as I would love to continue learning and training with HFE. Many thanks to Rick, Stacey, Harra and everyone at HFE.
Chris was really great and friendly, he always found ways to make things interesting and fun and gave me other cool ways of remembering information and learning it one of the best teachers that I’ve had!
I thoroughly enjoyed my Diploma in Mat pilates Course with HFE. The recourses provided were very insightful and I feel I learned so much through the work and study. The zoom weekends of the online course were very well organised and having the opportunity to discuss details of exercises and teaching methods was very helpful. The chance to practice teaching was very beneficial to confidence as a new instructor and I enjoyed sharing the experience with other students and getting to know them. I really valued the access to support which was always available via email or telephone whenever necessary. My instructor Dawn was most helpful answering questions regarding work and pilates in general. I felt very supported throughout.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Level 3 Mat Pilates course, great combination of online and practical theory and practice. Well thought out and planned. Highly recommend! Thanks Jodie
Great course- it's hard work but the effort is worth it. Lovely Tutors-Sophie and Lisa. Accommodating and happy to help when needed. Gym based weekend learning was extremely beneficial-learnt alot and met a lovely group there.
I have just completed the Level 3 Mat Pilates course and found the combination of distance learning, in person workshops and regular tutor contact worked very well. The course is thorough and gives you everything you need to start teaching confidently.
I have been studying with HFE for my Diploma in Mat Pilates
I have been studying with HFE for my Pilates Diploma and I have loved every single part of this course. The materials provided are a good support and the blended learning is something that makes a massive difference. I like the approach that HFE has with teaching each module and it's easy to keep up with if you also have a full time job. I would recommend this course to all of those who want to gain professional skills in the health and fitness industry. Thank you HFE. Loving this course massively.
I've recently completed a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification and a Level 3 Pilates Diploma. Both courses were delivered to an exceptionally high standard and with an incredible amount of support and dedication. I cannot praise HFE enough. Thanks so much for all your help. Onwards and upwards now! :-)
Excellent courses ,excellent quality of material and support from HFE staff.
I signed up with HFE course Level 3 Diploma in Mat Pilates.I did not have any experience in fitness industry before.I am very impressed with the quality of materials and great support from HFE staff helping me in my studies. I have made a lot of progress with their excellent knowledge and support .I have enjoyed practical session. I would recommend HFE to everybody.
Being completely new to the fitness industry i researched companies to take a Pilates course with and HFE ticked all the boxes. I was looking for home learning as i work full time and have a young family so i needed something that could work around me! The learning material was professional and thorough and i can see me using the manuals for years to come. The weekend workshops were great fun,informative but relaxed and having someone on the end of the phone to help whenever you needed it was also a great benefit!
A well supported course, that was accessible to a complete beginner.
When I joined the level 3 mat Pilates course, I did it because I was considering Pilates as a possible career change and I wanted to see where it would take me. From the time I signed up, I was extremely well supported by my tutor, who made it easy to breakdown the different components of the course and was always quick to answer my emails and patient with any questions. The course materials were also well presented in video and written format which made complemented one another.I would recommend HFE and will be taking other courses with them.
The Level 3 Mat Pilates course was exceptional. The resources provided such as textbooks and lecture series online were extremely helpful. I've no previous qualifications or teaching of any kind and this course was perfect for me. It wasn't easy, you do have to put the work in regardless of your experience, but it was a fun and really interesting educational course and I'm sad that has gone so quick! The course was really varied and spaced across 3 weekends. Each day of the course was different and a mixture between practical and workshops. The support team at HFE are beyond helpful, reassuring and supportive, nothing seemed to big or small of a question for them and they really went the extra mile to help. I would 100% recommend for anyone who is contemplating going into teaching Pilates!
I really enjoyed doing the Level 3 Mat Pilates Course, thanks HFE Team!
I really enjoyed doing the Level 3 Pilates course, I started it during lockdown as I have always loved Pilates classes and thought I would like to train to teach Pilates. HFE were very supportive in providing encouragement, advice and motivation to complete the course, particularly my Course Tutor - Dani Sharrock, thank you!
I have just completed my L3 Mat Pilates course with HFE and I loved it! The learning Portal was really good and all the explanation on the videos helpful! The manuals are rich in information. As English is not my first language, I was a little bit worried about the course, but I had no problem, and the tutors were so supportive! They changed my tutor a couple of times during the course but all of them were incredibly helpful, especially Dani! Marina (teacher on practical course) is amazing and made things looks easier, she is so patient, full of knowledge and a great professional.I really recommend it!Im looking forward to starting Reformer course next year!!
Danielle was an amazing support tutor. I felt encouraged and supported throughout my Pilates course. So grateful for having Danielle as my tutor ! I would give way more than 5 stars if I could.
I came to the course clueless about how to teach Pilates. I am half way through and I can confidently walk into a studio and teach. That's what matters to me. Special thanks to Marine & Dawn.
I've recently completed my Level 3 Diploma in Teaching Mat Pilates and I can't recommend this course enough. The tutors are so supportive and knowledgable. I got phone calls every fortnight to check on my progress and see if I had any problems. The printed learning materials arrived promptly and were really well written. THE VLE further supports these materials by providing excellent videos to supplement/extend the input. It is also very easy to navigate and use, which is always a bonus. Coursework was marked really quickly and I received really useful feedback to help me develop further. Due to Covid, the face to face part of my course had to be postponed but I was offered the option of an online Zoom course which I took rather than wait for a later date. The tutors were amazing and I can honestly say that I did not feel the experience was any less useful than if I had been in a face to face situation. Having taking courses with other providers, I have no hesitation in saying that HFE offers an excellent quality of fitness education. Special thanks to Danielle, Dawn, Karen and Tracey.
Really well organised course through HFE. Weekly catch ups with my great tutors Dawn and Danielle who were always friendly, always on hand to answer questions and great for advice on my practical exam. The in person weekends were spread across 6 weeks and took place at The Hard Rock Hotel which was a great central location to get to. Marina and Lorna were great teachers too. As someone who had not done any anatomy or science for 10 years, I was initially worried about the intensity of the anatomy learning but Dawn, Danielle and the videos by Lorna made it not only easy to learn, but also enjoyable! Would recommend for anyone wanting a worldwide accreditation!
Great Experience on the Mat Pilates course. The weekends were well organised and full of useful content. n The support and communication from HFE tutors has been good throughout my entire course.
Great experience; completed a Level 3 Matwork Pilates
HFE were great and I would happily reccommend this company to others. From initial enquiries about the course through to booking, payment, course content, teaching and even following the course this was a positive experience.
Staff were friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. The course was great as most of the foundation work is done in your own time at home but the online help and materials were fantastic and easy to follow. The assessments done online were great and again can be done in your own time. The standard of teaching and assessment of the practical sessions were of a very high standard with people teching who know what they are talking about and have been teaching themselves this type of class. Lovely venue (went to York) which was easy to get to and good facilities.
Even after the course my tutor helped in getting a letter for me to teach while we waited for my certificate - brilliant customer service.
Finished my course and started teaching straight away; love HFE and will happily do another course with them in future.
I have just completed my level 3 mat Pilates with HFE and have to give a special mention to my wonderful course tutor Dani. She was helpful, accessible and attentive throughout the whole 6 months. I have completed a few online courses with other training providers such as PT academy and HFE are head and shoulders better than the other companies Iv studied with. They provide you with a client portal where you can track progress, get access to online lectures and resources to help you pass. Thanks Dani for keeping me accountable for my progress and being so great at what you do!
Such a great experience doing my mat pilates online course with Dawn! She made the weekends enjoyable and easy to follow. Guided & supported every step of the way! Highly recommend. Thank you Dawn for everything :)
I never thought I would take the plunge to diverse into a Teaching Mat Pilates course, however it was the best thing I ever did! The course was incredibly well structured, amazing tutors and brilliant peers to learn alongside. My tutor Dawn Rafferty was a huge support to me, encouraging me and keeping me on track, especially towards the end when I was struggling :) Thank you so much & look forward to hopefully taking another course soon! Claire
Completing my L2 & L3 PT course with HFE and have nothing but high praise for everyone there. My mentor, Sophie Burdett has been excellent throughout, always upbeat and supportive with any questions Ive had (even the stupid ones). As an online student, their support and feedback is excellent and would highly recommend. Thanks for all your ongoing support.

Amazing team and company
Sophie is a fantastic tutor with and was thoroughly helpful on my course! She was always there when I needed support and is super knowledgable. Thank you Sophie!
And huge shout out to Rich the best in-person Tutor I've had. Went the extra mile every week to help us go beyond the content of the qualification.
Overall I've had a great PT and GYM Instructor experience and have been extremely happy with the service. I won't lie, it's not been easy and I've had had to do a lot of study, but the tutors are always available on the same day and helpful. The materials were excellent and the venue was also ideal. I completed my course in London and there were a few changes, but I suppose that’s to be expected given the events of the last 12 months or so. Really looking forward to starting my new career and I’ll be back next year for GP Referral. Thanks to all at HFE.
I really enjoyed completing the business acumen course of my level 3 PT diploma. The information given to me was ckncise and straight forward (easy to understand). My tutor has always been there to help by answering emails and reassuring me that she is only a phone call away. I'm really happy with my experience thus far ?
I recently completed the Level 3 Understanding Eating Disorders in Sport and Exercise and honestly I do not have a bad word to say about the course. They way it was layed out was brilliant, I have dyslexia and slow processing and the course was so user friendly for me which I don't usually get. Easy reads, bite sized chunks, non-timed exams. Just everything was amazing. Thank.you!
Sophie arranged an initial call to introduce herself as my tutor and explain the course structure and requirements at the beginning of the course. Allowed me to set my own schedule for contact and was always there to answer any questions I had.Found the course Level 3 Award in Programming and Supervising Exercise with Disabled Clients to be very interesting and helpful to my role working with children and young people.
Level 3 Programming and instructing Disabled clients
I really enjoyed taking the level 3 disabled clients course with HFE... the course was simple to follow and gave me all the information and knowledge I needed to understand different client disabilities.
I would like to thank everyone at HFE for all their help trying to adapt the course for Covid. My older adults course was great and and Janine and Gregg were so helpful throughout my course and I can’t wait to start my next course with you guys!
Level 3 Mat Pilates and Level 3 Older Adults course
I honestly had no reason to go elsewhere as the tuition that I received for my initial course was first rate. (Thank you Janine Ranson, you are priceless!) The course materials are great. The student manual, videos and revision quizzes helped me achieve my goals and pass the exams and case studies first time.
Last October I successfully completed the Level 3 Exercise for Older Adults with HFE. A year earlier I had completed the Level 2 Exercise to Music course with HFE. Both of these courses were really good, very informative and thorough, well structured and well organised.
Overall I was very happy with the content of the course and the support I got from my tutor who was always very helpful with anything I was struggling with. I would recommend HFE to anyone looking to do an online fitness qualification.
The tutor support at HFE and learner management system are excellent. The feedback given is timely, and the tutor is available to ask questions if you need it. I plan to use HFE again!
Good feedback from the course tutor for the two written tasks enabled me to make a couple of adjustments and resend. Would definitely recommend to others in the industry looking to work with older adults.
I wanted a distance learning option for my qualification as I had to fit my study in around work and family commitments. Course materials arrived quickly, the online system was all set up and ready to go so I could get started immediately, and my tutor was in contact a couple of times in the first few days to make sure I had everything I needed.
From my first conversation with the team at HFE, I was very impressed. This continued on with all my dealings with them. I found them to be professional, efficient and supportive. The course was good value for money...
HFE and the team that got me through my exercise referral have been incredible! Thank you for all your support and getting me through my qualification!
HFE is a great educational provider, easy to access learning materials and support services. Big thank you to my brilliant tutors Stacey and John. Level 3 Exercise Referral-Pass
Excellent training provider. Always on the end of a phone and tutors are knowledgeable and definitely challenge you to make sure you know the content. Did my Level 2 ETM Instructor course in 2016 and after qualifying as a PT with another training provider (who was shocking), came back to HFE to complete Level 3 Exercise Referral in 2021 (originally 2019 but covid!). I wish they offered more courses!
Thanks to Stacey I completed my Level 3 Exercise Refferal Diploma. Alongside 2 jobs and a crazy schedule Stacey provided me with the support and encouragement I needed to succeed. Thank you Stacey.
Just concluded the Level 3 Exercise Referral Course with HFE and am delighted, and very relieved, to gain this qualification. Huge thank you to Stacey Agnew, my course tutor who has supported me throughout, providing invaluable advice and guidance every step of the way. Thank you too to the rest of the support team, not least John Williams for his excellent tuition over the training weekend. All very much appreciated. Next stop, Level 4 Low Back Pain!!
HFE has been excellent to work with. If i had anything that i wasnt sure of they went throught it with me until i understood it. There was no pressure and time constraints if I didnt understand it. I maining been worrking with Sophie Burdett thought my theory exams and all of my course work. What was also nice was even though i had completed all my course and theroy exam for my level 3 GP Referral before Harry Hall was assigned to me I had a call of Harry who intorduce himself to me as he was going to be my new tutor for GP Level 3 Referral and if i had any questions to contact him thought out the rest of my experience with HFE. I would highly recommed work with HFE.Chloe
I have recently completed the level 3 exercise referral course through the Hfe.As I am on maternity leave I was worried I would struggle to get the course completed in a timely manner but the tutors have been brilliant offering plenty of touch points throughout and are only a quick email or phone call away. The tutors have been extremely helpful and have answered and questions I have had during the course.The practical days were also of a high standard and the tutor was brilliant and accommodating to me as I needed to leave early to get home to my children. He kept everything to a point and offered plenty of personal experiences as examples of patients he had worked with as well as sharing some of his personal struggles too! The resources provided was also very helpful as you was given both a digital and a hard copy of the workbook as well as videos of professionals talking through each subject which again was extremely helpful.As this is a course I have been wanting to do for a while I was excited to get the chance to complete it as it will help me in my line of work. I have fully enjoyed the whole course and cant wait to put it all into practice!
Just completed an excellent training weekend for Level 3 Exercise Referral with 2 really wonderful tutors - John Williams and Anthony Barnes. They really made the course come alive and offered very helpful guidance and tips when we did our practical.I have done several courses with HFE (level 3 and Level 4) and have always found the training weekend tutors to be exceptional!
This is my second time with HFE having done my Level 2 Fitness Instructor and more recently finishing my Level 3 in Exercise Referral, I cannot fault them.
I've just recently completed my L3 in Anatomy and Physiology, L3 in Nutrition, and also Exercise Referral course. I have to say that HFE you have been brilliant all the way through.
The support and resources you have access to while completing the qualifications are great, online presentations and a workbook that guides you through the study. Good experience and seems like a great price when compared with the competitors.
Having recently completed the Level 3 GP referral course and the Level 4 Diabetes and Obesity The courses, the manuals and the online lectures are all excellent resources and provide a great way to learn and the support from my support tutor has been invaluable.Having been in leisure for over 30 years, the professional and dedicated colleagues at HFE have been a pleasure to deal with and I would have no issues in recommending HFE in the future.
Just completed the exercise referral course, excellent study materials, good support from my tutor and easy to use online learner portal, felt prepared for the practical weekend and practical assessments, will definitely book future courses
My support tutor Lindsey was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly proactive and immediately arranged a call so she could run through the course and the assessments with me. With Lindsey’s guidance I was able to complete my studies and assessments in excellent time and with confidence.
The tutor support was second to none. Not only did I have a great rapport with my tutor but they were supportive, encouraging, not afraid to push me on my knowledge and gave me a good kick when needed.
As a working mum, the online learning was a great option for me, especially as I could when I did the work. My tutor was easily available to sort out any queries by phone or email.
HFE as a company is excellent the whole process of getting onto the course was quick and the tutors were very informative. The weekly calls to see how I was getting on where very helpful because sometimes help was needed during the online based work.
Just completed the Diploma in Pilates and level 3 nutrition with HFE. Absolutely brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble and so supportive. Easy to talk to and very encouraging.
I have completed two courses this year with HFE and found the entire experience a very positive one. The tutors are knowledgeable and supportive both on a face to face basis and the student support centre.
I registered with HFE as it looked to be a reputable company with good reviews. With many companies providing this service you are simply paying for the cost of evaluation and testing but with HFE the learner support was very good.
I really enjoyed my learning with HFE doing the Level 3 Mat Pilates course. I found the online resources really useful and I liked the fact they were 'lecture' style videos. I was glad I could just get on with the online work at my own pace and whenever I had any questions, my tutor Stacey was fantastic at getting back to me. We had regular check in calls and she was really helpful throughout the learning process.I was originally down to do the face-face course and then because of COVID and wanting to get the qualification done as soon as possible, they allowed me to switch to the online one which again, I thoroughly enjoyed and the tutors were fantastic.I am looking forward to doing my next course with HFE hopefully in the near future!
I am nearing the end of my Pilates Level 3 Instructor course and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with HFE. Dani has been my Support Tutor throughout, she is great - approachable, friendly, encouraging and always on hand to answer and questions. She is very knowledgeable and really wants you to succeed. Would definitely recommend!
I have just completed the level 3 Pilates course with HFE. All the staff were very helpful and very supportive. Always available to help and very encouraging. They had vast knowledge on the subject and the course is well structured and the resources provided were very informative. I would highly recommend doing a course with HFE.
I want to say a huge "Thank you" to everyone at HFE! I completed the Level 3 Pilates course with HFE and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The course was taught by Dawn, who was incredible! Dawn brought so much positivity to the course in a supportive and kind manner! Along with great knowledge and experience of Pilates! Stacey has also been an outstanding support tutor, who has always answered my queries and supported me throughout the course! Thank you, Dawn and Stacey!Thank you so much! I would like to also thank Karen, Harra, Rick, Neve, and everyone else at HFE who has offered support, guidance and has made my learning experience pleasant and enjoyable!
Ive just completed my pre and post natal qualification with HFE and can highly recommend them. Communication was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Earlier on this year I did the Matt Pilates, plus Pre and Post Natal exercises courses. Thanks to the wonderful tutors I learned so much, and feel I was given all the resources and support I needed. My emails were answered almost immediately, and always received the help I needed. My work was marked very quickly, and useful feedback given. On top of all this, I unfortunately couldnt make one of the course weekends due to having covid. The office staff soon organised for me to attend one of the online weekends instead, meaning I didnt miss out. Thank you HFE!
I studied Level 3 Mat Pilates and also Level 3 Pre and Postnatal Pilates with HFE. The study manuals arrived within a few days. I received regular follow up calls from support tutors throughout both courses. The workshops were fun and really useful for building further knowledge and understanding and developing teaching skills.The support tutors were extremely helpful. Special thanks to my course tutor Dawn Rafferty for the additional Zoom calls along with support and guidance throughout both courses. I would highly recommend HFE and would certainly consider additional courses with HFE in the future.
During the first lockdown in 2020 I completed the level 3 pre and post natal course, with how the world was at the time the whole thing was done online but the course learning materials were posted out to me, the coursework itself was relatively straight forward to do, as was the case study and online theory exam, in terms of tutor support I didn't speak to my tutor at all during that time but because my employer put me through the course they may have tried calling me on my work number which was closed.In 2022 I have completed the level 3 nutrition to support physical activity and level 3 exercise referral courses. While doing my nutrition course my tutor (harry) did manage to get in touch with me and we came to an agreement that I would get in touch with him if I needed any help as I was already familiar with how the LES worked and the coursework was straight forward enough to do, I did have some technical issues accessing my online exam on the day ( not HFE's fault my laptop decided to run an update in the background which ate up all my RAM and severed the connection) but after speaking to someone at HFE the exam was rebooked for another day free of charge.While doing my level 3 exercise referral course my tutor was changed to Jodie and I had regular contact with her throughout which was handy as their were afew bits and pieces I needed to ask to get clarification on, the online and offline assessments were challenging and took a while to get through but they are achievable and if any of the work you submit is referred the feedback is very helpful as to guiding you back on track. The practical weekend was great, I attended the Manchester Ashton date and the tutor/assessor Geoff did a good job of preparing us for both assessments. The only issue I had with any of the courses I have done was that on my referral course the practical assessment was put back twice due to insufficient numbers of attendees but that's part of the territory of distance learning and because my employer funded the courses and dealt with the enrollment side of things I can't comment either way as I didn't have to do any of it. I would definitely do another course with HFE in the future.
I recently completed the level 2 exercise to music and level 3 pre and post natal exercise qualifications. HFE were absolutely fantastic to work with I cannot recommend them highly enough. My support tutor Jodie was brilliant, she really helped me out. The practical weekends were intense but so well structured. I had no experience at all in teaching exercise classes before these qualifications and Im now able to teach fitness classes. If you are looking for a company to complete qualifications with definitely choose HFE you will not be disappointed.
I've completed my pre and postnatal fitness course thanks to Dani. She was incredibly helpful and always responded to my emails or calls promptly. Thanks Dani for giving me the confidence I needed.
I found the course really easy to follow and helpful. You can complete it in your own time which was perfect for me and any help I needed was quickly solved. I also received my qualification certificate through straight away upon completion. If youre looking for a good company to complete your qualifications I would definitely recommend HFE!
I have just passed me Ante & Post Natal exercise. The whole service was very professional & smooth. Thanks Jodie & Greg. I will be recommending you guys.
I’ve just passed the L3 Pre and Postnatal Exercise course
I’ve just passed the L3 Pre & Natal for Exercise qualification with HFE and it was fantastic!
I wasn’t sure if I’d be disciplined enough to study independently alongside my business but having the support of my tutor whenever I needed her was excellent!
Everyone in the office is so helpful and supportive.
Highly recommend HFE and I can’t wait to start my next qualification- Thankyou
I am currently on my 7th course with Health & Fitness Education Ltd (HFE). Everything about HFE screams 'high quality' - the study materials, both on and offline, the technical support (thanks for your patience Josh!) and the amazing tutors.
Just completed my level 3 pre and postnatal course. It went beyond my expectations. My tutor Danielle was fantastic very supportive answered all my questions either through phone calls or emails, very quick to respond and lovely to talk to.
This course has been thoroughly enjoyable and the support given by the team has been great!! My tutor throughout was Lindsay Hall who was always contactable and gave any help that was needed.
Just completed my 5th course with HFE (Pre & Postnatal Trainer - Level 3), really good study materials through the post, fantastic support from my tutor Lindsey, a great new online learning system and great service from the office. Already signed up for my next one. Highly recommended.
Amber Park helped to sign me up to my course and she was extremely friendly and very helpful. I'd happily recommend her & HFE in general. Really looking forward to getting stuck into my course now!
I like this way of working and having a tutor I can contact as and when I needed was great. The course is more set up to gym instructors, but Gregg was very helpful and the case study was adapted to suit Pilates.
Such a great company to deal with from the start when enquiring to their congratulations at the finish. The staff have been friendly, informative and supportive throughout. My course tutor was always there when I had a query.
I just wanted to say how happy I am with the service I recd from HFE on my recent reformer Pilates course. My support worker Danielle, has been incredible and supported me throughout. Thank you Danielle, its been lovely working with you! Jennie Bliss
Thanks to Marina, The HFE Level 3 Award in Teaching Reformer Pilates was really enjoyable, fun and challenging but in a good way. Although I had a few technical issues, the support and learning from Marina was second to none. Thank you for such a memorable course.
I studied and passed my L3 Pilates (Mat based) with HFE and would definitely recommend them. The course was online (my choice) which was so much easier for me as a working Mum! The learning portal was really useful - particularly for the anatomy and physiology revision! Having my support tutor, Dani, on hand to answer questions was so useful. She phoned me regularly but also responded to my emails which helped me to progress more quickly. Im looking forward to teaching Pilates next month :)
Very impressive administration and communication throughout the whole course (Level 3 Pilates - remote learning), useful and practical resources, a very helpful, knowledgeable and supportive tutor (Stacey) who consistently responded to emails very quickly and constructively and was always willing to chat through any questions I had. I would highly recommend the course and HFE.
The best learner support tutorsBeyond achieving qualifications(
Beyond achieving qualifications( Pilates, Yoga,Nutrition, Exercise to Music, Sports Massage) , the experiences of learning, studying and practicing with HFE team, gave me purpose althrouought this period. Their logo, become more, really proved to be accurate: I have passed exams both in theory and practice due to my tutors guidance and trainers. Every successful exam felt like a booster in confidence. Always positive and encouraging, Dawn and Stacey are the perfect support tutors.
I have recently completed my Yoga and Pre/Post Natal course with HFE. I found the course Tutor Karen, very knowledgable, informative and helpful throughout the course. The office staff behind the scenes have been very helpful when I have had questions regarding the course or in need of more information.
I have just completed my L3 Yoga course with HFE & the support from start to finish has been amazing. My support tutor left at the beginning but everyone else really helped when I needed it. Dani was absolutely fantastic. I was worried about asking stupid little things and she always helped and put me at ease. Nothing was a bother. Lindsey has also been a great support and both girls are still helping me as I do my L3 pre and post natal qualification . I would definitely recommend. All of my courses are online which I was concerned about but theres always someone to speak to. Dawn was also fantastic and full of knowledge on the weekend zooms. Thank you xx
Ive just completed my level 3 yoga course through this company and would like to say how wonderful and helpful the instructors are, Dawn Raffety and Tracey Need have been super supportive and shared their knowledge with us so well, I feel confident moving forward as a yoga instructor. Thank you.
So pleased to have completed my level 3 yoga with HFE. Thank you to Dawn and Carolyn for all their support, advice and encouragement. Really enjoyed the practicals. Hils L
From starting my practical course in October 2021 my tutor Dawn Rafferty has been a fantastic yoga coach displaying correct postures alongside breath work and how to get into and out of asanas. Very helpful with understanding the history behind yoga and its teachings through practice and debates. Had a wonderful time on the practical course and recently Dawn has helped me with my anatomy and physiology level 3 exam which I have found extremely tough to pass but through weeks of having my knowledge tested through phone calls I can say that today I got the results that I have passed. Thanks Dawn for your continued support.
I'm really happy that I chose HFE as my course provider. I've done Level 3 Mat Pilates teacher training course, and I'm impressed by the thorough approach and the quality of the materials provided by HFE. I did a yoga teacher training with the different provider before and the anatomy manuals were not as good as the ones here. I also like how the information in manuals is broken down into chunks so even the most difficult concepts are explained in the accessible and visual way. I also liked the hybrid model of learning theory and doing mock tests online and having in-person sessions for the most important parts of the course such as workshops, teaching practice and theory exams.
Special thanks goes to my tutor Jodie Atherton for the feedback and support as through the feedback we're learning even more. Thanks HFE team, well done!
Ive been in hospital as an emergency for 5 weeks and HFE have been so supportive. Amber who actually on boarded me to the yoga course and fully informed me has been so helpful and the team have sent me notes in hospital: then my tutor Lindsey hall has been so supportive and kept me accountable as per my wishes, it has kept me focused and happy in a hard time theyve not just left me in the lurch as a lot of online can theyre the opposite and the perfect hybrid!
It has been quite hard for me to achieve my yoga teacher diploma, because this course is wide, complete and sometimes difficult, but staff is always there to help teaching yoga students and they gave me all the support and info I needed. It has been a wonderful journey in yoga world
I did my level 3 Pilates training with HFE and it should be testament to the quality of that course that I came back to HFE for my yoga teacher training. As I trained during the pandemic I did wonder if training on the online platform would offer a lesser experience. I didn't need to worry - I had excellent support throughout, the weekends were just as comprehensive - Karen was excellent - and it was actually lovely not to have a difficult journey enabling the focus to be on the yoga. Throughout I had amazing support from my support tutor Lindsey - no question was too small or too silly, and if for any reason Lindsey was unavailable there was always someone ready and willing to help me. The other thing to mention is HFE's flexibility. I had found this when I had a date clash on my Pilates training. This time, when I had an issue which resulted in me losing a little of my work, they very quickly found a solution so that there was no risk of this happening again, enabling me to concentrate on what mattered. Fabulous, friendly and professional from start to finish. Thank you HFE with special thanks to Lindsey & Karen.
An amazing course with great support during and after course. Everything explained in good details and amazing teachers and instructors especially on the practical days. We had Angela Carrington and she was amazing! She put us at ease, encouraged us to pass and was a great laugh! Great group of people and would recommend HFE to everyone. I am even thinking of signup to do more courses.
Absolutely loved my practical sessions with Dawn Rafferty and Angela. Great teachers , felt at ease from day one & I learned so much! Thankyou both I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking about taking level 3 teacher training in yoga to go with HFE , the support Ive had is 2nd to none ! Thanks again Anne G
Just completed my L3 Dip in Teaching Yoga. Did all the course work in my own time and then the assessment weekend in Hyde. It has been an amazing journey. I've done a few courses with other companies but this has been the best so far. Jodie who was my tutor over the phone was so down to earth motivational and reassuring thoughout as I broke my arm before the assessment weekend so she found was for HFE to support me though this. She's a credit to their team. Carolyn and Kim were my assessors on the three weekends in Hyde very different styles and showed lots of other ways to learn and teach I have gained so much from them and feel confident to go out and teach straight away. Will definitely consider using these wonderful people again if I chose to do another fitness based course to expand my career.
Just finished my practical weekends with HFE for the Yoga diploma - it was very professionally ran with fantastic tutors. Jodie has been really supportive and knowledgeable throughout the course and very motivating, thank you. The course tutors during the weekend were fantastic (Carolyn and Kim) and really prepare you for assessments, couldnt recommend them enough! Double thank you!The course materials for the home learning are very professional and the lecture series delivered very well.
Absolutely superb Support From Dawn my tutor for Yoga Instructor Level 3. Both Anna and Angela were fantastic teachers and the course was overall excellent. Would recommend to anyone considering becoming a Yoga instructor.
Just completed my practical weekends yoga teacher training, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and so glad I chose to do it with HFE. We all connected well as a group and all made friends, and received great support from Carolyn, Kim and Jodie. Thanks to you all
Dawn Rafferty is an amazing tutor..now I know you hear that all the time but with all honesty her weekly phonecalls were not only fun and motivating but insightful and help to keep you on track,the weekends you attend are not easy and are full on, however once again Dawn has an uncanny knack to get you through the ardous tasks. I can honestly say if you wanted to become a Yogi you need to find a modern day Master. Dawn is full of great ideas and teaching points with a deeper understanding of Yoga than most tutors I have met elsewhere ....psst she's HFE's best kept secret.
Firstly my support tutor Dawn is excellent with a vast knowledge in the subject I'm studying.The course material, reference manuals and training videos are also very good and easy to access.The face to face training weekends are amazing with a nice small amount of students which makes for a fantastic learning experience. The tutor Carolyn has a wealth of knowledge and experience which puts us all at ease that we are in safe hands.
Nearly finished my L3 Yoga course, great study materials - online, app and big yoga manual. Support tutor Jodie has been great, helpful phone calls about the video recordings and even a short extension when an injury stopped me working on my assessments for a while. Thanks HFE and Jodie.
Ive just completed the level 3 diploma teaching yoga and have had such a great experience with HFE. The course itself is extremely comprehensive and included a number of aspects of yoga. The materials were really helpful and useful throughout the course. The instructors Carolyn and Kim were both brilliant and helped build up both my knowledge and confidence teaching yoga. My support tutor Jodie was amazing, from her support/guidance across the whole course to her positivity and endless energy I couldnt ask for anymore. Thank you all!
I completed a level 3 yoga instructor course with HFE. I attended 3 weekends. Before the course I had very limited experience and knowledge of yoga instruction. I found the instruction from my tutor Dawn Rafferty excellent and really informative. It was practical and gave me opportunity to teach yoga in real-time. By the end of the course I was able to competently teach a class and felt confident to do so. I highly recommend this course.
This course is very in-depth. Absolutely everything is covered from Anatomy & physiology, health and safety, principles of exercise to yoga philosophy and practice. I am really happy with the course. I have just had my first practical weekend in Leeds and out tutor was a practitioner, very knowledgeable and lots of fun. The other students have been so nice too. I feel confident moving forward as I was nervous before the practical weekend with coming close to the exams. I have learned so much on my first practical weekend. The venue was lovely too.
I have just completed the second of two weekends of training as part of my Yoga teaching diploma qualification. Because of Covid the sessions were delivered over Zoom however for me this did not impact in any way on the quality of the experience or the information delivered.
The sessions were led by Yvette Sanderson and I would just like to say how good they, and she, were.
It was obvious fairly early on that the group were from a wide range of backgrounds and experience but Yvette, within no time at all, had created a great sense of togetherness with everyone working together to achieve the best we could.
I thoroughly enjoyed the two weekends, I loved Yvette's teaching style and hopefully I will be able to incorporate at least some of it in my own teaching.
Just completed my L3 diploma in teaching yoga. What a fantastic course! Jodie has been such great support throughout, so friendly & approachable, always there to help & cheer me on. I have learned soooo much from Caroline, yoga teacher. She has a beautiful & gentle manner. She has inspired me to further explore the use of blocks & straps to support & enhance performance. Kim, also yoga teacher, taught me a lot about how to best deliver pranayama, & I took a lot from her feedback on my exam day. I cannot recommend this course & those who run it highly enough. Be prepared to work hard & learn lots!
I have just attended my first weekend practical for Yoga Instructor L3, and I have to say that - of all the myriad IT, management, and fitness instructor courses I have ever been on in my many years - Angela, my tutor, is head and shoulders above anyone else at delivering courses. She was calm, empathetic, and full of ideas - drawing on her years of experience, in yoga and many other fitness genres. Although both weekend days were full-on, with little in the way of breaks, Angela kept things buzzing along and - at no point - did I feel like flagging, as she created the perfect balance of presentation, discussion and practice. I am confident Angela will keep me afloat over the next 2 weekend practicals. Well done HFE - Angela is definitely a keeper!
I did the L3 yoga online course with Dawn as my support tutor and am so happy with my experience. I learnt a lot from Dawn on the yoga weekends and she's been really supportive and encouraging on our catch up calls. The only thing I would say to anyone looking at doing the course - be prepared to organise yourself and revise for the exams, don't just expect to pass. The support and reading/videos are 10/10 but you definitely need to be willing to put the time in for revision and coursework. Thank you so much Dawn and HFE, will definitely be recommending.
Level 4 Certificate in Instructing Pilates Matwork
5
Top Notch!
Ive completed the Pilates Matwork Instructor course and the Exercise Referral through HFE; both courses had excellent content and the tutors (particularly Stacey and Lindsey) are top notch. They basically are with you every step of the way to offer guidance, suggestions and support throughout. If I decide to take my career further with the Level 4 courses, I will definitely choose HFE again.
I enjoyed my course and found everyone really accomodating at HFE. The course is hard ( level 3 mat pilates) .. the anatomy exam is no joke. You need to put the work in. Passing is the best feeling ever. Thanks to all who were really helpful to me. Stacey, Danielle, Dawn and Kim. :)
Started the Level 4 Pilates course this weekend. Reallyinteresting, indepth course- Dawn and Karen are exceptional Tutors- with great knowledge, teaching skills and understanding, patience and also adding the fun element into our days.Looking forward to learning more. Highly recommend this course
I completed my Level 4 Pilates with HFE. The tutor Karen was outstanding, her knowledge was second to none. I really enjoyed the course and it has given me the buzz back in my teaching. The support team are incredible, always there to help and answer my questions. Thank you HFE.
This is the second time I have studied with HFE and I would do so again without hesitation. My support tutor Martyn was helpful, patient and supportive with clear concise knowledge and advice, I felt completely at ease and comfortable to be able to ask anything.
I really liked the depth of knowledge of the teachers, and the relaxed and professional way that I was treated, I would certainly recommend HFE to any serious fitness professional.
I have just completed my first course with HFE, the Level 4 Diabetes/Obesity course. I have found HFE and their tutors/support staff extremely friendly, helpful and most importantly, efficient!Apart from Will's singing and choice of music the course was first class!Terry Myers, Whitstable, Kent
I've just finished my Level 4 Obesity & Diabetes course with HFE. Having previously studied 2 courses previously with them I didn't think twice to use them again. I'm sure I will be using them again too!The support I have received has been amazing. Firstly from Stacey who was amazing and such a patient tutor and who supported me for the bulk of the course and then by Sophie who was equally as amazing, supportive and professional. They have encouraged, prompted, supported my learning and kept me right on track.The learner system is a doddle to use, easy to submit work on to. Even gives you reminders (which trust me, I need!) Everything was spot on.Thank you all your help :-)
I have been doing the Level 4 Obesity, Diabetes and weight management program since November last year. Ive thoroughly enjoyed learning from home and at my own pace. Ive had regular contact with the support tutors available and always been able to access that as and when I needed. As a result of taking the course Ive decided to specialise in working with people with type 2 diabetes. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to develop their knowledge and skill up. Very happy customer.
I am currently working through my Level 4 Obesity and diabetes qualification following on from sports massage and exercise referral with HFE. My current tutor is Jodie and she has been a great help and is always available to chat with on the phone or via email when help is needed. I would definitely recommend these guys.
I completed the lv4 obesity qualification with the and they helped me finish it at record speed. With their support, the next day delivery of materials and their brilliant selection of training videos it was almost easy!
Fantastic team, great value and so much knowledge.
Thank you Stacey, Amber and everyone else!
The best online training provider I’ve come across to date. Did my Level 3 Exercise Referral and Level 4 Exercise for Obese & Diabetic Clients with HFE and the service was excellent.
I have just completed the L4 O&D course, the resource was at a very high standard and the communication and support that was provided by the team was outstanding.
This is my second course with HFE, this is a recommendation in itself as they were self-funded and I have no hesitation in saying I would use them again.
I would highly recommend HFE for fitness training courses
I would highly recommend HFE for fitness training courses. I recently completed my second fitness training course with HFE. I will definitely continue to use HFE for my fitness training. Thanks again HFE!
I have just completed my first course with HFE, the Level 4 Diabetes/Obesity course. I have found HFE and their tutors/support staff extremely friendly, helpful and most importantly, efficient!
Having just completed my 4th Course with HFE I can say what a pleasure it has been throughout. I am now an exercise referral instructor and exercise specialist in diabetes/obesity.
Charlie Ellam-Brown was my helpful tutor. Any questions I had about the course he explained so I understood. When he was unavailable the rest of the team assisted me equally. Straight forward course covers all you need to become a level 3 personal trainer. Regards Hilarie
After taking two courses with HFE and working with my tutor Dawn for both of them, I am so happy with the level of teaching in the course and assistance from my tutor Dawn. nnDawn is so helpful and experienced and, is always going the extra mile to provide resources and extra insight. Thank you!n
The support was professional and my tutor was on time during interactions. Kind and supportive at all times, good attitude and positive feedback from Charlie and John. Would like to thank everyone in HFE. Many thanks
My mentor Jodie was super helpful and responsive always. Feedback was prompt and I felt like no question was a silly one!! Grateful for the support received throughout and would recommend to peers.
Hara was our tutor and what a wonderful experience she delivered to our candidates! Hara delivered our reformer Pilates training with passion, enthusiasm and made it fun!
My experience from start to finish has been exemplary. My tutor, always prompt, reliable, helpful and approacheable made the experience easier and more fluid and I would not have done it without his guidance! A credit to the provider. The provider itself is professional, concise and the learning materials and the way the course is set out is ideal for online learning. 100% recommend and I am excited to start this new chapter and I am proud to state that my provider is HFE.
I really enjoyed the course. I had a great course tutor for my online practical days, and Jodie (my support tutor) was really helpful and supportive with all information I needed.n
Dani was amazing physically teaching the course! Dawn was there for support through my course which was great, Jodie was absolutely amazing at the very end for me, she made me feel very supported and congratulated me on passing, thankyou both!
Exceptional Support and Training for Aspiring Pilates Instructors
I completed my Mat Pilates qualification with HFE, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. A special mention goes to Tracey, who brilliantly guided us through the practical components, making each session engaging and insightful. Jodie, my mentor, was incredibly supportive, ensuring I never felt overwhelmed by the wealth of information and workload. Her guidance made the entire process manageable and enjoyable. Im also deeply grateful to the reviewers, who went above and beyond to provide detailed, constructive feedback that truly helped me improve and grow.nnI highly recommend HFE to anyone considering a Pilates qualification. Thanks to their exceptional team, I feel confident and well-prepared as a fully qualified instructor.
I studied both Gym Instructor course and level 3 Personal Training with HFE and the experience was fabulous. Excellent support and pleased to have completed my Qualifications.
Took a fabulous L3 Reformer course with Hara on the weekend, her friendly and honest approach was fantastic. Great materials and support pre course and great experience overall
I did my Mat Pilates Level 3 with HFE and I had great experience from start to finish. HFE marks any course work very quickly and if you have been referred they provide very good explanations as to why. The course is a lot of hard work and enjoyed doing it. I am glad I chose HFE over the other providers. I have two more courses to do with HFE and I know they are going to be fun.
Jodie has been the best support tutor and instructor throughout my Level 3 mat Pilates course.nShe’s super friendly and helpful and was a great support and teacher.nHave been very lucky to have her as both my support tutor when revising at home, as well as teaching me the practical elements to becoming a Pilates instructor!
The online content was broken down into sections which made it easier to work through. The manual was particularly helpful. My Coach, Jodie, was also very helpful to keep me on track.
I recently passed the Gym Instructor course with HFE, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The support from my tutor Charlie and the entire HFE team was great making the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Their expertise and encouragement were invaluable. Thanks to their guidance, I’m excited to book another course with HFE to continue my fitness education journey.
