Study Active Reviews 812

Highly recommend Study Active if you're looking to get into fitness instructing. You are supplied with all info you could need and have tutors on hand to help with any questions you need help with. Also definitely recommend taking the practical assessment in person, I was assessed and welcomed in by Colin and was immediately put at ease as he talked me through what the day would entail and gave me very good feedback when I needed it, it made the process so much more relaxed when I was initially nervous at first. Looking forward to completing my level 3 👍

Just finished my L2 gym instructor course and would definitely recommend StudyActive. Very impressed with the course materials, coursework feedback and quick response to my queries.

Highlight was the practical assessment at the gym with assessor Chris - he was superb! I was so nervous beforehand but he put me at ease immediately and now realise there was no need to worry - thank you so much!

Looking forward to beginning L3 soon!

The tutors at Study Active were very supportive and responsive throughout my Level 3 PT qualification period, although I did miss meeting them in person as my qualification route was mostly remote learning. The highlight of my training was in fact my final face to face assessment day where Chris Walsh, senior assessor, put a lot of energy and insight into testing my knowledge and sharing his own in a very professional way.

If you have decided to qualify as a fitness trainer based on your own speed in completing your studies, then I can highly recommend the Study Active company. You will have access to all the necessary training materials in an online format, clear and concise instructions for completion and support from the team. At the very last stage of the practical assessment I would recommend booking a slot with one of the accessors, although a video option is also available. However, based on my own experience I would do just that.
I would particularly like to mention Chris Walsh, he was very friendly but also objective in the assessment, I found his advice to be very helpful and so I think this is the best experience you can have.

After a bit research on Personal Trainer courses, I opted for Study Active. I contacted them before I paid for the course as I wanted a little bit more info and also to see if they were easy to contact. Turns out they were straight forward to get in touch with and answered all my questions.

As for the course, I opted for both Level 2 & 3 certifications. I paid for it, they got in touch and sent all the relevant information over to get started. The instructions are well outlined and the learning materials are very informative. There were occasions when I needed assistance and had to reach out for help. The team were easy to get in touch with, if I couldn’t get in touch when I phoned, I’d leave a message and they would call back within an hour or two. If I emailed them, they always replied on that same day. I found them super friendly and always helpful.

Coursework finished, time for practical exams. Travelling from Scotland was easy, a flight to Luton and a quick taxi to Welwyn. You can record your practical exams and email them over but I wanted to be in person. I ended up with Chris Walsh as my assessor for my both Level 2 & 3, he was spot on. I was a bit nervous first time but found him really encouraging, he put me at ease. Second time around we had a laugh, he was professional but there was no stress whatsoever.

All in all, I’d highly recommend Study Active for anyone looking to get started in the fitness industry!

Thanks again, you guys rock!

i cannot give enough praise to study active, i was going back to learning after 30 years so i felt a bit anxious about that, let alone if i could do the course or not. But they give you the confidence and guide you through each step just brilliant. Thank you x

I had an amazing experience studying my level 2 gym instructor and level 3 personal training course. The fact that I was able to do every aspect of the course totally online at my own pace was extremely helpful. If I ever had any questions or queries about any aspect of the course I didnt understand, members from the study active team helped me straight away. I highly recommend doing your training with study active.

Very quick and easy to set up. Straight forward and if there were any issue, I knew where I needed go for support.

I studied my Level 2&3 Qualification, the course content was excellent for both. I always got prompt replies to queries and support with anything I needed help with. I particularly enjoyed my L3 practical assessment with Chris Walsh, as I was made to feel relaxed and well supported, and I was given really useful and constructive feedback that I can take forward to use with my clients.

I completed my L2 Gym Instructor and L3 Personal Trainer qualifications through Study Active and I would highly recommend them. Both final practical exams were assessed by Chris Walsh. He was absolutely brilliant. Put me at ease immediately and took the nerves away. I would recommend Study Active to anyone wanting to qualify in this field.

I have just finished my L3 PT with Study Active and couldn’t recommend them more. I have friends who have uptaken the combined L2+3 fitness qualifications from other course providers and have not completed them because of the lack of support, however after reaching out I was provided with all the support I needed to get me through the course. My tutor Rebecca has been absolutely brilliant in guiding me through it and without her knowledge and understanding I wouldn’t have gotten through the course. So patient whilst I got my head around the work and went through each unit with me step by step. This course is in depth and has been well very put together to provide myself and others with the adequate knowledge and insight required to feel confident in taking on clients and start my own business in the near future.
Thank you :)

I recently completed my L2 fitness instructor qualification with study active. The support has been absolutely amazing and my questions were always answered very quickly!
I did my practical assessments at the site in Hertfordshire, I’d definitely recommend doing this over the video recording. I was so nervous but Chris was amazing. He communicated clearly, calmed my nerves and reassured me. He is absolutely brilliant at what he does and I’m excited to complete my L3 PT!

All signed up quickly and efficiently.

The practical assessment was made a positive experience as the assessor, Colin Archer, was really clear in his communications, and was supportive throughout the process. He allowed me to work with my client and complete as much of the planned session as time allowed, and contributed some useful observations about my instruction which I have taken forwards. The staff at the gym were also helpful and the working environment was fit for the purposes of the assessment.

Studied with Study Active before and enjoyed their courses. Super helpful and very responsive to the needs of the learner. Great quality materials.

Yesterday, I had my Level 2 - Gym Practical Assessment with Christ and it was brilliant!!!! Study Active has been extremely supportive from day one especially Kelly (but I will do a seperate review on Study Active overall. I want to focus on my Assessment in this review.

As you know, assessments can be very stressful however, Chris was amazing from the moment he met myself and my client at the door. He approached us with a joke and straight away removed 80% of the nerves I walked in with. He talked me through my assessment. Me being a perfectionist, I had everything printed out (as my safety blanket) and Chris straight away let me know that wouldn't need it. (I truly didn't). Throughout my assessment, Chris was there to give me feedback and also to sense check with me if I was unsure about anything.

I absolutely loved my assessment and I am really looking forward to my Level 3!

Thank you so much Chris for making my client and I feel at ease! It was stressful coming in with traffic hitting us unexpectedly, however you calmed me down and had so much faith in me which is super contagious. I hope to have you as my assessor again for my Level 3. Thank you for the great work you and Study Active do!

Warm regards,
Effie :)

Chris Walsh was great during my Level 2 Gym Instructor assesment. I live 3 hours away and unfortunately hit traffic making me an hour late. Chris was kind enough to stay behind and give the assessment anyway! He was very informative and helpful during the assessment as well.

I had my assessment with Chris and he was brilliant. Made both myself and my client feel relaxed right from the start. Assessments can be very daunting and Chris minimised that as much as possible.

I've just completed my L3 PT course and my experience with Study Active has been fantastic. I'm a busy working mum and I wasn't sure how I'd manage, but the course is self led meaning I set my own deadlines and fit the course in around my life. The tutors are amazing and always quick to reply and really supportive. Both my L2 and L3 practical exams were with Chris Walsh. I was so nervous but he calmed my nerves straight away! The the feedback I gained was extremely beneficial and I learned so much in both my exams with Chris. Ive already decided on the next course I'll be signing up to with Study Active and I can't wait!

I recently embarked on my Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training journey with Study Active, and I must say, it has been an absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, their support and guidance have been top-notch, making my learning journey smooth and enjoyable.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to my assessor, Chris Walsh. Chris has been an incredible mentor throughout this process, going above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and supported. His wealth of knowledge in personal training is truly impressive, and he has a fantastic way of explaining complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner.

What sets Chris apart is not only his expertise but also his exceptional personality. He has a calming presence that made even the most challenging aspects of the physical training process seem manageable. Chris consistently provided constructive feedback, helping me grow and improve my skills while keeping the atmosphere positive and encouraging.

Study Active as a whole has exceeded my expectations. The study materials are comprehensive and well-organized, making it easy for me to navigate through the coursework. The online platform is user-friendly, and the support team is always prompt in addressing any queries I had.

I highly recommend Study Active to anyone pursuing their Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training. It's not just a course; it's a journey of personal and professional development with a team that genuinely cares about your success. Thank you, Study Active, and a special shoutout to Chris Walsh for making this experience truly exceptional!
