“I moved to Brisbane from England and was looking to get involved in my hobby of fitness training. I did a lot of research into the providers of courses in and around the Brisbane area. A family friend, who competes in the Masters Bodybuilding, introduced me to FIT College.
After speaking with Lee Brabin, on numerous occasions, and expressing my concerns about future employment he re-assured me that there is work available and even before I finished the course I was employed by Suncoast Fitness in Sales, and am now a full time Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instuctor.
I found the Online Fitness Course offerred by FIT College to be fantastic. Easy to use and I learned a hell of a lot. They also assisted in setting up my Work Experience. The 2 day workshop at the end of the course at the campus on the Sunshine Coast was also amazing! FIT College gave me all the info I required and really helped me focus the potential I had on a career in Fitness. Thank you so much for all your help!”

My Husband Josh and I own Coast Style Fitness, based in Marocchydore on the Sunshine Coast. After finishing my fitness course at FIT College I found it easy to get clients and I absolutely LOVE being a personal trainer. I enjoy being outdoors, so holding our group fitness sessions is one of my favourite things to do. The lifestyle is great, I get to keep fit and earn money at the same time!

I had no idea what I wanted to do when I completed year 12 all I knew is that I really enjoyed being active. Before I commenced year 12 this year I decided that I wanted to obtain my Personal Trainer qualifications, I made an appointment to speak with Lee at Fit College in Maroochydore to find out about the courses they were offering. After discussing what they had on offer and the support they provide I decided to undertake my Cert III and Cert IV on a part time over 6 months basis.
I knew I had taken on quite a challenge and new it was going to be a tough road studying for my PT qualifications as well studying year 12. It was a difficult balancing act, hard work and long days however the support and flexibility that Lee, Keagan and the team at Fit College provided from day one was fantastic. They always maintained that my year 12 studies was the number one priority and were always there and available either on the phone, email, or face to face to assist me with catching up on classes or assignments I had missed due to school studies.
I received my Certificate III and Certificate IV three days before my end of year exams. I made the commitment and with the support from day one from the Fit College team I have not only finished year 12 but also obtained my Personal Training qualifications.
The support doesn’t stop there, I am now ready to embark on a Personal Training business of my own. Lee and Keagan have said that should I need any advice regarding my business don’t hesitate to call them and to keep in contact with them to let them know how I am going. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend the course to anyone for its supportive team and flexibility.

I moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney a year ago, after living in Sydney for 36 years. I completed my Cert 3 in Sydney a while ago and I always wanted to complete my Cert 4 so I could further my career for myself.
I was already working in the Fitness industry but wanted to be more fully qualified so I could do Personal Training. I found out about FIT College from a number of people and from advertisements.
After speaking to Lee Brabin who gave me extensive information about the course before I signed up it helped me make the decision that FIT College was for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and met some great people in which I am still in contact with. I did most of my work experience at ”Active Living” and am currently doing training there at present to gain my own clients for Personal Training.
All I can say is if your still thinking of doing your Cert 3 and 4 course at FIT College, stop thinking about it and sign up and get started with your own destiny. It was the best move I ever made.
Thank you to all the teachers there at FIT College for their hard work and help. It was a great experience and a lot of fun.

“I was fortunate enough to be offered work at Fernwood Caloundra before I even finished the course. I have been working on the Reception desk for 5 weeks now and went from 1 shift initially and now I have 4 however I usually end up working 6 or more shifts each week and I am loving it.
I have one member who has purchased personal training however only wants to train with me so we are both eagerly awaiting my qualification so that we can begin.
When I was contemplating doing my certificate I remember saying that it was a gamble leaving my job and not knowing what would result but I took a giant leap of faith and have landed on both feet (soft knees of course)...
I am so glad that Nina helped me make the best decision of my life... Now I have assignments to complete ;)

“I just got a job as a club trainer at Goodlife Caloundra. The training I got from FIT College taught me to just get my face out there and make sure that they knew who I was, where I was from, and how keen and passionate I was to start working in the industry. It must have worked because I got the job and I start on Monday.”

"I finished my Certificates 3 and 4 with FIT College in September this year [2009], it was a huge change for me and my family as I had given up one career in order to persue another. Before I had even finished the course I had been offered a number of positions as a Trainer which was very exciting. I had no idea just how much opportunity was out there. FIT College gave me what I needed to get started in the Fitness Industry. The staff are great and the teachers really do understand what it takes to be successful."
