The experience was great as it was very relaxed and honest. It allowed me to reflect on what I do well and things I need to improve on.

Great day with PFCA + Sean McInroy on the Program design course. Coaches Jenz and Craig provide a wealth knowledge and offer an excellent amount of advice along with Sean who was fantastic from start to finish, Plenty of nuggets that I will take away from the course and apply to our own facility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up as a coach.

I’ve been aware of the PFCA for a long time having followed the team on social media. When I decided to make a career change and complete my PT qualification, I only had them in mind. The L3 CPT course is fully comprehensive and I enjoyed my experience from start to finish. The weekly calls are interactive, thought provoking and the course content flows logically. The team go above and beyond to ensure you’re well looked before, during and after completion. I was lucky enough to land myself a role in a SGPT gym immediately after qualifying (helped by the team), and felt more than equipped stepping on the coaching floor. I couldn’t recommend the PFCA enough. Thank you team!

If you are looking to gain your Personal Training Levels 2 & 3 but are unsure which course to take online, take this one!! I had been looking for a while at all the options online before deciding on the PFCA, the level of detail the course provides is unmatched in my opinion. Learning from quality coaches who actually care about the industry and want to make a difference is so refreshing. The community they are building is a great one to be part of and the ongoing CPD courses help continue your development in the industry. Im just getting started in Fitness and very grateful to the PFCA for showing me the way!

The BEST in the business.

As a young coach having the opportunity to attend the sales masterclass with the PFCA and Gym Owners Network, was such a great experience. To listen and learn from Jenz and to be in a room full of such talented, insightful gym owners was incredible! I was challenged and put out of comfort zone, allowing so much growth (literally within the 5 hours I was there) I left buzzing and ready to apply everything I’d learnt, hungry to be better.

I really look forward to working with the PFCA again to develop as a coach, as there isnt anything close to the service they offer. (Ps the new headquarters are gorg)

I can't recommend PFCA highly enough. They helped connect me with what genuinely feels like my dream job as a Junior Coach at Pineapple in Newcastle, Australia. Growing up, fitness has always been a huge part of my life, but I never thought I could actually pursue a career out of it.

Through PFCA, I feel like I've learned the gold-standard approach to coaching. The course provided practical frameworks, evidence-based training principles, and just as importantly, the soft skills needed to work effectively with real clients. I finished the program feeling genuinely equipped and ready to step into the industry.

What stood out most was how closely their ethos and approach aligned with my own values around health, fitness, and helping people. The support throughout the process gave me the confidence to back myself and take the leap into coaching.

Honestly, if it wasn't for PFCA, I don't think I would have had the confidence to give coaching a go. Their education, support, and industry connections have played a huge role in helping me start a career I'm genuinely excited about.
Thank you, PFCA!

From the very beginning of working with Caroline on what the course looks like to the very last lecture with Craig, this course has been everything I hoped for and more. This is the most practical course I have ever been around in regards to applying the learnings to my future career. It covers all of the necessary theory whilst Craig works extremely hard to ensure the quality of personal trainer leaving the course is extremely high. I truly believe the team provide you with the best opportunity to succeed post certification that any course in the world could and that is coming from someone on the other side of the world!

I attended the 2 Day Coach Development workshop recently at HQ. It was a brilliant couple days of learning with Craig and other attending coaches. I found it a hugely valuable experience with plenty of practical takeaways that will benefit my coaching and career. Highly recommended!

Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome, the day is structured and informational and no stone is left unturned. The amount you learn and the depth in which this is learnt is amazing and exceeded my expectations of the day! The detail of the sessions is great and hearing from like minded individuals and business owners and all learning in the same space makes it feel very intimate and inclusive

Great two days spent deep diving into what coaching is, what it brings to the community and a lot of great feedback and advice from Mass.. brilliant event and more coaches should take the opportunity to advance their skills and knowledge through the PCFA

The workshop/clinic was so good!
Really insightful and invaluable to be honest!
The way things were explained by Craig and just the open environment created to be vulnerable, ask questions and discuss things without judgement was amazing. Definitely something the fitness space needs more of.

Its given me some great things to think about and how I can adjust my approach moving forwards with programming and coaching for my clients and myself!
Hope to be back for some more days like last week in the future!

Second time up at the headquarters and couldn't recommend enough! This time had the pleasure of taking one of the coach's at my gym too.

The levels of education you're exposed to around coaching are second to none. Will 100% be up there a few more times in 2026.

The course was fantastic! Small group to actually dig into detail and resolve every single individual doubt or interest. Perfect mix of theory and practice. Great and comfortable brand-new location that felt very welcoming.

I had lots of doubts when looking for a PT course. But very quickly into starting with the PFCA it put me at ease that this was the right decision. The level the course is taught at is unbelievable. Craig shows how much the industry means to him and really goes into a depth that no other course is teaching.

This was the most engaging and educational course I have completed in quite some time. Both Jenz and Craig are extremely passionate about the course and this came through in abundance. I got the support when asked and felt like In came away fully equipped to step in to a coaching role. I can't wait to return and complete the FFC course!

I trained with the PFCA because I wanted to become a coach, not just a personal trainer.
I wanted to learn how to think like a coach. How to help clients build awareness, understand themselves better, and create lasting change, not just hand them a list of exercises.
I put off getting a qualification for a long time because a lot of the providers I came across felt surface level. I didn’t want to invest in an average education just to tick a box. The PFCA was the first provider that genuinely challenged the way I thought about coaching, behaviour change, communication, and client care. That’s what made me take the leap, and I haven’t looked back since. If you want to become a better coach, think more deeply, and go beyond the basics, it’s a no brainer.

Great experience at PFCA HQ with Dynamic Shoulders. Great space to learn in and can tell that a lot of care and thought goes into these sessions!

The best, most authentic level 3 qualification. The curriculum and weekly calls and accessibility to the best mentors in the industry was so valuable in setting me up to coach in the real world. True-to-life scenarios, genuine interactions and thought provoking conversations - this is where you want to be if you want to become a good coach.

If you are someone who has real passion for fitness and want to genuinely share this with other and influence other people lives in a positive way, this course provider will resonate with all your values from day one! On top of that, you get to learn great fundamentals of coaching which sets you up for a good start. Down to earth, grounded approach, with some humour at times and an occasional swear word, which I absolutely loved - as it all made the course feel real, human and authentic. Just like personal coaching should be!

I left my 'lifelong' career that I despised to pursue a whole new career in coaching and the PFCA has made this so much easier then I thought it was going to be in my head. if I could roll back the days and start over with my Coaching training I would pick the PFCA a million times over.
