Personal Trainer Business Course Testimonials
Guy Thompson
Former Leicester & Wasps Rugby Player
“After being in and around professional sport for 13 years, this is a natural progression after learning from World Leading S&C coaches. Becoming a personal trainer will allow me to implement this knowledge for helping people and helping people achieve their goals away from sport. I’d really want to focus on helping people in their everyday lives through both mental and physical wellbeing. OriGym’s tutors have been excellent, with great feedback and the content is perfect for someone looking to get started in the industry.”
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!”
Matthew Briggs
Former Professional Footballer
“After playing football my entire life, I’ve been recently thinking about what to do post football. A natural progression for me is becoming a personal trainer to utilise my skills and experience. After researching the best providers, OriGym came up with a big online presence and I was impressed by what I saw. After looking through other testimonials, as well as student reviews, OriGym seemed the logical choice and I’m glad I chose to learn with them.”
