"I attended the GP referral exam on Saturday and just wanted to drop a quick e mail to say thankyou for the support given. I also wondered if you could pass a special thankyou onto Neale who was there as he was a great inspiration" --Anna.
"Alan,
Just to say many thanks for the excellent training you delivered in Birmingham and your willingness to share your hard earned weight management techniques. The course has literally saved my life in terms of being the catalyst to change regarding my dysfunctional eating regarding my diabetes control. From someone who regularly had ketones and who can’t get life insurance i now eat regular food combined with appropriate portions and appropriate insulin measures – my weight has reduced and i am maintaining that. This has come about from the learning your company supplied and i have now made a SMART goal regarding the remaining Cheese and Diet Coke aspects of my diet from the actual training last week – i cannot thank you enough. I have told everyone who i talk to who comments on my weight loss about your organisation and am looking forward to trying the newly learnt techniques in the case study which i will use all your guidance to ensure i am supportive and the client achieves their smart goals. Once more absolutely brilliant and when i feel confident i will be taking the level 4.
Best wishes"

"It was a pleasure working with you guys on the Level II Gym, although I reserve judgment on the Circuits Course in Manchester..... Just kidding, Bob absolutely hammered us and I ached for two days but felt great. It was a great one day course that fulfilled all my expectations although I never expected to work Soooo hard. I’m totally sold on Bob, his method, technique, drive and motivation... His book arrived from Amazon yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in. Anyway just to top it all, I was offered today the position of Health and Fitness Manager at Harrow Leisure Centre where I have been coaching squash for a number of years. This would not have been possible without the Level II Gym Course attendance andanticipated pass. Apparently their chosen training company is Lifetime Fitness.... let’s hope they match the standards experienced with Discovery Learning on the PT Level III Course. Wishing you all the best for the future, thanks again". -- Tony Morrison
"Thank you ever so much for all your advice, help and support throughout every step of the ETM 2 course. Plus those long hours of workshops, always done with a smile and great encouragement. I hope at some stage to be back for more courses with Discovery " --Elme Hurndall
“My experience has been great. I decided to do the Diploma in Personal Training as the cost included the additional short courses, and I wanted to be a fully qualified PT. I would highly recommend all aspects of the course. The content is fantastic. I especially loved the fact that you can study at your own time and pace. The intensive days are also great. The knowledge of the course tutors is amazing. I could literally sit there for days on end soaking up all the knowledge!
On a personal level, it has really helped my own fitness training. Understanding how to train to reach specific goals at the same time as knowing what you are really doing. I think many people train at the gym for years seeing some results but never fully understanding what the training they are doing does physically. When I train now I see results quick! The nutrition part of the course I believe is also essential in accompanying fitness training. Understanding the relationship between nutrition and fitness is key in seeing the correct results.
Overall I would highly recommend the course to anyone. The knowledge I have learned has set me up for life especially in terms of correct nutrition and health benefits. (I wish they taught this at school years ago!) It also has given me the ability to change careers within 6 months! Whichever direction you take following the course I think it doesn't matter! I personally will use the knowledge learned from the course across all aspects of my personal life. I also know I have this qualification to fall back on if needed!
Thanks to the Discovery team!" --Jonathan Sealey
"I thought it was really enjoyable, interesting and helpful, especially at putting the theory into practice, which makes a huge difference and Lou was great! She has made things a lot clearer and I feel a bit more confident about the assessments now Thanks again for your help". --Jill Moody
"I just thought I'd write an email praising your staff for their help in me gaining the Level 2 ETM qualification. Martina, Vicky and Jonathan have all been supportive and helpful in sharing their advice and knowledge". --Jody Ivie
"I received the CYQ certificate today. Huge thanks to you and Anna for all your help and support. Thanks again for everything". --Sandra Newbery
"I found my Personal Training course with Discovery learning to be both very enjoyable and very effective. The course content was extensive and the period of learning very short, meaning the course is very learning intensive, however it is was balanced in a way so that it is certainly not overwhelming. The structure of the course was very easy to follow and allowed a gradual introduction into personal training, fitness instruction and group exercise. Most of the exams and assessments were focused towards the second half of the course which allowed all the students to feel comfortable with the learning pace at the beginning and allowed those who had not been ‘in study’ for a while to become re- accustomed to a learning environment. I found the course very comprehensive and upon completion of all modules, I felt very confident about going out into the health and fitness industry and becoming a successful personal trainer. The learning and assessments were a mixture of individual and group work, which I personally found very helpful when it came to learning difficult subjects and preparing for my practical assessments.
Discovery Learning as a course provider were very informative about the course, and support was always available to all students when needed. The learning was made fun by the course tutors and a good balance between theory and practical learning was used to keep students motivated and learning effectively.
The course tutor that Discovery Learning provided to teach the course was very approachable, she made learning very easy and fun and went at a pace that everyone in the group could cope with well. She gave us a comprehensive understanding of all the necessary fitness components to pass our exams, but also encouraged us to read further and to enhance our own knowledge. She gave us the theoretical knowledge of all the modules and the practical skills to deliver personal trainer sessions and the confidence to lead group exercise sessions. In addition to this, she also gave us practical advice about working and earning in the fitness industry, which was very valuable to me in particular when choosing the best avenue to enter the industry.
I was extremely happy with the training course that Discovery Learning provided, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to become a highly trained fitness professional, who, upon graduating the course would be fully ready to progress into a successful career in personal training". --Andy Garlick
"Great course! Thanks for all your help before and during the course; I really appreciate it". --Leon Bustin
"My tutor was very helpful during my time on the course. She was very professional but with that good fun. Lou was always easy to talk to if you had any problems or just general questions about the course or any of the modules covered. Lou has excellent subject knowledge and this made it easy to learn from her and gain from her experience".
"The course started for me having a broken wrist, this however didn't stop me getting stuck in with the bits of the course that I could do. I enjoyed my time on the course for two reasons, the first is that I got to meet a great bunch of people all enthusiastic about the same thing, and the second was the learning team which made everything easy to understand. I came out of this course adding to my knowledge of physiology and gaining a vast knowledge about working in a gym. Two weeks after the course finished I got myself a job at LA Fitness and am now gaining experience as a Fitness Instructor, this is down to the support and help of everyone on the course!" --Aaron Ticehurst
"I thoroughly enjoyed my course and it was mostly due to my tutor Lou Court and the lads I stayed with whilst I was down in Bournemouth.
Lou was excellent she made the course very enjoyable and educational which made the course easy to follow and understand so I could perform at the best of my ability and that was such a massive bonus to me as I haven't had to study or learn in such an intense manner for a very long time!
Lou was very interactive with all the students and was able to adapt to a variety of needs and methods of learning, I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a course and liked the teacher at the same time, all credit to the tutor!
The course was only seven weeks but within that time I was able to knuckle down and apply all that I had learnt from Lou and so how could go on to have a career as a Personal Training, and I owe a big part to Discovery Learning as they showed that the course followed a structure that could challenge students and meet their expectations for whatever path they wanted to pursue whether it was Personal Training, Teaching Classes or aspects of Nutrition.
This course has certainly been worthwhile as I'm now working at the Village Gym in Newcastle as a Personal Trainer which I'm thoroughly enjoying and have been for the last month". --Anthony Errington
"I contacted Discovery about their personal trainer diploma, and within hours I had all the information I needed to start my new career path. The people there are really friendly, and have great knowledge about what they teach. From starting my course in December 2008 and finishing in May 2009, I began working at Fitness First and so far to date (15/07/2009) I have built up my business very quickly with 15 weekly clients within the first two months! I can highly recommend Discovery for anyone looking to pursue a career in the fitness industry. After finishing my course, they aren't just my past tutors; they are also now my friends!" --Lewis Hughes |
