New Zealand Institute of Health and Fitness — Local services in North Island

I have recently completed my level four fitness leader certificate through NZIHF, with my more advanced Personal training certificate on its way in roughly a week. It was definitely the right move joining this institute, I have learnt valuable skills and I feel well prepared to go out into the industry. I love that the course is short but offers everything you need, from learning about the body, to learning how to prescribe workouts to different people and even teaching us how to operate our own business and make sales! I have been lucky enough to work with Tom and Preston, who both offer tons of support and guidance throughout the course.

Thank you so much for the opportunity of studying at NZIHF. If you're planning on entering the fitness industry, either for your own personal knowledge or to become a PT, then level 4 & 5 would be ideal for you Considering i initially felt like a fish out of water at the start, over the course of the classes, I learnt so much and took away a considerably amount of information in terms of my study and practical applications.

Thank you NZIHF team, heres to...

I gained my Fitness leader certificate and my more advanced PT certificate from this institute which took around six months and I couldn't be more impressed and satisfied with my experience studying at this institute. The teachers there were some of the kindest, encouraging and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thomas Hart and Francesca Kurghan were my two teachers while I was there and they were both always very kind and very helpful when it came to taking part in in-class practicals and helping us prepare for upcoming assessments, they also made sure to set aside extra time during the week If I ever needed help with my work or If I had missed a class they would set aside some time for me to come into class to help me catch up. I highly recommend anyone who is wanting to expand their knowledge and skill-set in the fitness...
