New Zealand Institute of Health and Fitness

As a recent graduate at NZIHF I can't recommend this course enough. Over the past 7 months of studying I have throughly enjoyed my time here, they really cater for all. The course is well structured and the tutor's go above and beyond to support you. I've learnt so much and gained confidence, their way of teaching provided to be flexible with work. Highly recommend if your wanting to expand your knowledge, or dive into the fitness industry.

NZIHF has been an amazing institute to study through. I have always held a passion towards fitness and personal training. Through studying at NZIHF Wellington, my passion towards fitness and becoming a personal trainer has grown. From all members (staff/tutors) to other studying members has shown a community that is friendly and respectful to one another. Due to NZIHF I have been able to pursue my passion and experience being a trainer officially.I would like to specifically mention Bianca Batten and Deana Batten for showing the love and support of the fitness community and educating us as a fitness professional. They have been open and willing to help us see the reality of being a fitness professional.Overall, I would recommend anyone to come and study PT through the NZIHF.

As a graduate, I really enjoyed studying the fitness leader course. Tom, Fran and the team were really easy to work with and I really enjoyed how they pushed me to understand why I wanted to do what I do, and they really know how to help when I am behind. I really also liked how in person and hands on the coaching sessions were as they translate completely to my new job, and also how genuine the tutors are!

I had the pleasure of studying at the NZIHF and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The courses were challenging yet rewarding, and the tutors Fran and Tom were instrumental in making the learning process engaging and enjoyable. Their passion for the subject matter was infectious, and their guidance and support were invaluable throughout my time there. I feel confident and well-prepared thanks to their efforts.

I have been studying with NZIHF since November 2022. The courses provided at NZIHF don’t online focus on training basics but everything else that is included in running a personal training business. All the practical parts of the course were directly related to what you’d actually be doing as a PT eg. Consultation practise, movement appraisals, induction sessions etc. This is definitely the course to do if you want to be best set up for your career and you’re not just doing it for to try get an easy qualification and leave.I’m currently finishing off my level 5 certificate in exercises and have already had amazing support from my tutors. Tutors at NZIHF have assisted my job seeking by referring me out to suitable gyms and making sure after I finish my studies I am set up in the best environment possible to thrive.Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff who run a fantastic programme. At all times you are well supported and encouraged, and learning environment is fostered that enables all to be catered for. Couldn't recommend joining NZIHF enough if you are interested in the fitness industry.

I completed my studies with NZIHF in April 2023, I felt the course helped me to be sufficiently prepared for the health and fitness industry and by the end of it many doors were opened to jobs as a personal trainer. If you are interested in becoming a personal trainer or just learning more about health and fitness I would highly recommend NZIHF. I was fortunate to have Tom and Fran as my Tutors, they were passionate about what they teach and they went above and beyond to help everyone succeed in the course.

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 industry study here.

I have taken the NZIHF level 4 & 5 in 2020.The classes are great and very fun to study. We have many discussions, practical classes and role plays. So, I never been board over through the course. My tutor organise the classes and study well. She is nice and friendly, sharing a lot of knowledge and tips to improve PT skills for students. Weekend classes that are Pro series. There have heaps of chance to study new knowledge and techniques to develop our training skills. I highly recommend to study at NZIHF Wellington.

I have really enjoyed my time studying at NZIHF. I like how the course is structured and has been flexible enough to manage around work. I have learnt a lot over the last 6 months, and it has given me a better understanding of why my own PT does certain things. All of the tutors genuinely care about their students and will go above and beyond to help them succeed. My confidence has improved so much over the last 6 months!
