PAD training for PT Recently completed PAD training for PT and it was a good one. Good mixture of class room based learning an practical elements. Location easy to find, well organised with brilliant course tutor Trevor Clarke. Worth to mention is also club cafe, may not look much but absolutely delicious grab (soup and wrap) with very decent portion size.

Committed and Friendly Staff keeps kids sport fun Our daughter does after football here. A brilliant centre with a committed and energetic coach who keeps the class active and engaged for the full 45 minutes. She’s learnt lots of new skills and can’t wait till the next week. The centre is rigorous in cleanliness and following government guidelines for Covid-19 procedure without taking the fun out of sport. Thank you Team YMCA Holborn

Trainers were wonderful, but… Trainers were passionate, attentive, and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t change them. The website, however was evidently made in the dark ages and hasn’t been updated since (navigates at a snail’s pace). Also, course attendees are often trying to build careers - that put food on the table and keep the lights on - around this organisation’s certifications. Making them wait 3 months to get said certifications - key to getting one’s foot in the door anywhere - is unfair. Great course content, lousy back of house.

Very basic course Very basic course, with only a few Kettlebell moves covered. Would be good to have a teacher who actually uses Kettlebells, which clearly was not the case. Nobody failed, which is typical of today's fitness courses. Good manual- shame we didn't cover most of the exercises included within.

Like so many others Like so many others, I had a dreadful experience with YMCAFit. I’ve worked in education for over 15 years and studied with at least 5 organisations and never had such a bad experience. Everything about the course was bad. I won’t list everything that happened but it’s very much like the other reviewers. What’s frustrating is that YMCA reply to the negative reviews gaslighting them! They don’t sort things out and there is no where to turn. Very much recommend doing your research there are lots of bad organisations out there and some that offer training which isn’t accredited. Make sure you find a properly accredited course. Having now done several CPD courses, I know there are good supportive places you can study with.
