Level 5 Lower Back Pain Management Testimonials
Elani Ventor
OriGym Personal Training Graduate
“I have extensive experience with online studies (through various institutions), and can honestly attest that OriGym has been my best experience yet. I’ve received speedy and very helpful assistance every time that I needed help with my assessments or study-work, and absolutely LOVE the curriculum. I’d recommend anyone interested in health and fitness to enrol, it’s been a blast for me so far :)”
Sianna Lunn
OriGym Level 4 Student
“I chose a package of 4 courses to advance my knowledge within a career in the back pain industry. The packages were flexible and it was easy to build the courses to suit my own requirements. I found the response time with online chats to be almost instant and always very helpful. I love having a dashboard so I can quickly see my progress and ‘tick off’ each module section. Practical assessments are organised and professional with friendly staff. It’s been a really easy way to return to learning and the flexibility of the course suits a busy lifestyle and full time work”.
Jessica Lee
Olympic Track Cyclist
“Although this is starting something new, it’s also building on something that I already have. I reached out to friends who have done similar courses and OriGym was mentioned as the course to go to. After I enquired, Michelle called the next day and was really organic and genuine in our conversations, whereas other providers sent a generic email where I still had to do more research myself. As an olympian a mission is to always pass on experience and knowledge. I’d look to eventually have my own company to really pass on my passion and maybe even help create a new olympian in the future!”
