"One Man Can Make a Difference – Josh Holland & NZIHF"

My journey with NZIHF has been nothing short of life-changing. I am deeply grateful to one man in particular—Josh Holland—who has truly made a difference in my life. His sincerity, support, and dedication have not only earned my loyalty to NZIHF but to him personally.

The learning material at NZIHF is a pleasure to study. The content is well-organised, enjoyable, and incredibly effective. The videos, reading materials, and assignments all work together seamlessly, making the entire learning process engaging and practical. What sets the assignments apart is their real-world relevance. They aren’t just tasks to complete—they prepare you for real-life scenarios, ensuring you are ready for the challenges ahead.

If I could start my journey over, I wouldn’t miss a single announcement or comment from other students. Reading their stories and motivations has become a source of inspiration for me, and now I never skip a message. It’s a privilege to learn from and be motivated by this incredible community.

When I almost lost hope, the NZIHF family was there to lift me up. I truly feel like I belong to a family that inspires and pushes me to be the best version of myself. Thank you, NZIHF, and a heartfelt thank you to Josh Holland for making me feel invincible.

Your Sincerely, Alsharief...

NZIHF with Josh and Amanda was awesome. I did the PT and Fitness leader courses. The courses cover everything you need to be a PT/Trainer, coach, knowledge on nutrition, mobility, starting and managing a business, training for specific needs and goals and so much more. Josh is very knowledgeable but most importantly great at building relationships with his students and being empathetic with everyone's situations. The courses portal is easy to access and navigate with everything you need at your finger tips as well as having a physical book. Classes were always a good mix of theory and practical and sometimes practical and practical....cardio sessions and group activities were awesome! Never any feelings of pressure and class numbers were small so you had more opportunities to ask questions and get Josh to tell us some great stories. Every session he'd ask us how we were and where our wellbeing was at so we quickly got comfortable understanding everyone's backgrounds which made it easy to connect with peers. The environment was always clean and tidy and we always had an unlimited amount of biscuits. Definitely recommend learning in person although their online support and many outreaches around the country are top notch. I look forward to catching up with Josh and Amanda somewhere...

I recently completed my certification in Weight Management Coaching with NZIHF, and I can't express enough how transformative this program has been! From the very beginning, I was impressed by their unique approach, which emphasizes behavior and habits over just focusing on food. This holistic perspective truly resonated with me, and it has opened my eyes to how small lifestyle changes can lead to significant, lasting impacts.

The support from the NZIHF team, and especially from Josh, has been nothing short of amazing. Josh was always available to answer questions and provide guidance, making the learning experience even richer. He shared practical tips and tools that I can now incorporate into my coaching, which will undoubtedly benefit my clients on their journeys.

I wholeheartedly recommend NZIHF to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of weight management through a behavior-focused lens. This program has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to help others achieve their health goals, and I’m excited to implement what I've learned moving forward! Thank you, NZIHF, for such an...
