Reviews of New Zealand Institute of Health and Fitness

10/10. My tutor (Laura) is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had (including all school years). She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, informative and also managed to make it fun. I never felt like I couldn't ask her a question (no matter how obvious), and she really went the extra mile with us to explain things in a way that meant we could use them in real life settings - not just to pass an assessment. Highly recommend NZIHF.

My time at NZIHF was great - amazing spaces, awesome tutors, and enjoyable learnings. Laura definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were supported and confident throughout the course and was full of helpful advice. I would highly recommend enrolling here if you are looking at studying health and fitness.

I loved my time at NZIHF. It was a busy 6 months, but I learnt more than I could ever of imagined. Laura is an amazing tutor and she made sure I was fully supported every step of the way. 100 % recommend this to anyone looking to get in to the fitness industry.

I absolutely loved my time completing the NZIHF personal training course! The course was well organised with a fantastic online platform which was very user friendly. The weekly classes on campus left me feeling confident in my knowledge and component in the practical skills we were learning. Our tutor had lots of industry experience as well as having an excellent understanding of the theory. He also had a great sense of humour, and was always ready to help whenever we needed. The course opened up lots of opportunities for me, and I even secured a PT role before the end of the course - as did the rest of my class! Thanks to NZIHF, I feel I have learnt all the necessary skills required to have a successful career in the fitness industry.

I completed the level 4 and 5 course a long with most of the pro series and every session was great! You get so much information, guidance and support while also meeting some great people. My classmates and I all had our own challenges along the way and also a COVID lockdown to deal with but Shaun, our tutor, kept us moving forward and made sure we kept up to speed the whole time. The team at NZIHF have really made an incredible, in-depth, inspiring and fun learning experience that has set me up with the confidence to go out and help people in a very effective way. Recommend…….absolutely!

I have absolutely loved my time so far at NZIHF. The work/study/life balance is realistic and Shaun is an excellent tutor. I have completed two courses so far and I am looking forward to furthering my studies through NZIHF in their new Weight Management Program. You also meet a great bunch of like minded people. I would highly recommend studying through NZIHF.

I really enjoyed my time studying at NZIHF, so much so that I was sad when it ended. Deciding to study again after so long was a big step for me, but the support and encouragement from the NZIHF team was amazing. I walked away having gained so much personally and professionally, and met some pretty awesome people (staff and students) along the way. The course content was a good balance of online and in class learning that was well explained, enjoyable and informative. I’m forever grateful I took the plunge and achieved my Level 4 and 5 Personal Trainer qualifications at the best place possible.

烈.

Got to attend both level4 and 5 PT courses last year. Very professional academic system structure with practical tutoring, super good class vibes. Received continued career support even after graduation. Really recommend it if someone has intention in starting in fitness industry.

Shaun's ability to create a learning environment that pulls the most out of you is phenomenal. Theory and practical classes are very enjoyable, interactive and with clear outcomes. I highly recommend NZIHF for people who want to get a comprehensive Personal Training qualification, that gives you all of the tools required to run a successful business.

I loved studying at NZIHF. Worked full time and still had time to fit in this course!. The classes were very knowledgeable and enjoyable and even better that Laura was a great tutor :)

5 stars Going into this course I was nervous about entering into study and was quite unsure if it was going to be the right fit for me, but the staff are very supportive and they take the time to make sure you leave feeling confident in yourself as a Personal Trainer ready to enter the industry, I definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking about becoming a PT.

I can not recommend NZIHF more highly. The support from your first enquiry through to post qualifications is world class. The knowledge you come away with is indepth with any question, concern or uncertainty being ironed out as and when you need. Incredibly professional and knowledgeable tutors, who go out of their way to help and guide you every step of the way. I spent alot of time looking into the various institutions, hands down NZIHF are leaps and bounds ahead in the industry.

I really enjoyed my learning experience at NZIHF. Shaun was an excellent tutor. The combination of class time once a week and online learning worked perfectly for my work / life situation. If you are thinking about doing a PT course then this would be the one I highly recommend you invest in.

I highly reccomend NZIFH. What a great course. It was very detailed and I learned more than what I had hoped for. I really value my time and experience here as there was an abundance of information available to me and all the feedback I recieved was much appreciated (Anna & Shaun).The tutor (Shaun) was exceptional in his work, very knowledgeable, professional and fun! He answered questions clearly and made sure we were understanding. I have taken away so much from studying here and felt more than ready to enter the fitness industry once completing my qualifications. I cannot thank the team enough for helping me on my journey, I developed so much. Before finishing my course I started working in a gym and am now thriving. Thanks team!!! 😊 By the way these bad reviews are hard to read as you get out what you put in. It does take hardwork and dedication. Decide, commit and then succeed.

Absolutely loved the course. Even if you don't use it in a professional manner, the things you learn about the human body, nutrition and injury prevention alone are invaluable. I'm 38 years old and after about 10 years of niggles, and repeat injuries, I have learned how to stop them happening, and I have been completely injury free since the course, and I don't even use strapping on old injuries anymore. If you want to go into personal training professionally, there are always job opportunities presented to you in the last couple of months of the course too. All round great experience. Would I do it again? In a heart beat. Thanks for your time and effort guys. Nga mihi Michael

Just finished level 4 in Christchurch campus and can’t recommend this course enough! Great content, awesome facilities and a well designed way of learning practical and technical skills. All tutors were a 12/10, always going out of their way to make sure you were learning and confident with yourself. Most of my assessments were with Tom, who I learned heaps in very short period of time. My classes were with Trudy who is a real high skilled professional and amazing person. All classes were always entertaining and productive. She definitely taught me more than just the course subjects.

A friend recommend NZIHF to me when I was looking to study Personal Training and after one meeting with them I was sold - I definitely made the right choice. I really valued my time at NZIHF, the courses were a good balance of theory and practical and the tutors were knowledgable and supportive. Would (and have) highly recommend to those wanting a good foundational qualification to prepare them for working in the fitness industry!

I am currently enrolled in Level 4 & 5 at the Christchurch campus where the Tutors (Tom and Trudy) are very professional and highly skilled in their profession, they are very approachable and down to earth. The whole atmosphere is very welcoming and there is a broad mixture of students both young and old (me being in the latter)where we all mix and mingle, and share our experiences both good and bad.I can highly recommend this course and NZIHF as a training institute.

I’m so happy to have completed my Level 4 studies at the Christchurch campus and looking forward to starting Level 5. This course is just amazing, you get all the support you need to be successful and it’s such a great opportunity to meet people with the same passion for health and fitness. The course structure is great with the option of evening classes, it means that you can still work whilst studying. Special thanks to Trudy and Tom for such an enjoyable experience and with their extensive knowledge, professionalism and experience, I definitely feel that I’m learning from two of the best!!

Woohoo!! Only 2 weeks left and I'll graduate with my Level 5 New Zealand Certificate in Exercise & I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at NZIHF. As an older student I was extremely nervous about starting down the path of study for the first time. NZIHF provides a very supportive, fun, interactive learning environment. My fellow students have been supportive & kind and I've made some great mates. Our tutor Tom Hart has made the whole course one I'll happily recommend to anyone looking to gain qualifications in the fitness industry. Tom is very professional, kind, supportive and full of knowledge. No question or query is too big or too small. The Christchurch campus is easy to access with good parking very nearby. The staff take great pride in their campus and it's always very clean and tidy and has a great gym for learning/working out in. If you're interested in learning about the fitness industry NZIHF is awesome!!

My main interest for studying at NZIHF was from wanting to better myself, gain some knowledge, and just find some good things that I could learn and implement in my own life. I feel like I've found that here. A lot of the thanks goes to Trudy. She's probably been the biggest part of what's made the course into what it is, from putting a lot of effort into helping everyone on the course, and having a lot of real personal experiences to just think about and learn from.

Just two weeks away from completing my Level 5 studies in the Christchurch campus, the time has flown by. I have learned so much during my time at NZIHF and thoroughly enjoyed every minute - cannot recommend this course enough. It has helped having a really cool and supportive tutor (Tim-Tam Tom Hart) who makes each session enjoyable but also keeping it relevant. He has never hesitated responding to my many many questions.....We also had Trudy for a few weeks at the start and missed having her at the Labs (even though she does scare me a little :) ) Have met some really cool people along the way, made some new friends and cannot wait to put into practice everything I have learned!

I cannot recommend this course enough! Trudy is a fantastic tutor she is encouraging and gives great guidance and feedback 😊 the work itself is really hands on which makes learning that much more fun. I have meet some really cool people along the way as well. If you have ever thought about personal training I am confident this is the place you want to learn.

I have just finished level 4 at the Christchurch campus and am now heading into level 5. It is a fantastic course with amazing tutors 😊 Very professional and fun at the same time! I have learnt so much and am feeling really confident with everything I have learnt. The tutors are always there to help and give feedback. I couldn't recommend it enough!

An amazing experience and enjoyed my time learning at NZIHF, amazing instructors and very supportive during my study and also post study. Recommend to anyone looking to go into the fitness industry!

From the perspective of a gym manager, the personal trainers who had studied through NZIHF were well prepared for the fitness industry. Starting their career with a depth of knowledge and a good understanding of how to run their own business.

Awesome course that I feel prepared me well for working in the industry although would recommend doing the full level 4 and 5 for personal training to feel confident! Really rate the emphasis on the business side of PT.

I love how the tutors are there to help you and make sure your on the right track, there wanting you to achieve and pass and not to drown in the work load. Loved the environment very cheerful and inspiring . :)

If you're looking at getting into the fitness industry this is a great avenue to take. A fantastic introduction into prescribing for physical health and well being with crucial practical experience to let you apply your skills. Studying here will kick start your journey into the fitness industry off with a solid base of knowledge, and within a very practical time frame so you can jump in without hesitation.

Brilliant course. Never looked back since I have started the course and love every minute of it. Awesome tutors in Tom and our short time with Trudy. Most professional people I have come into contact with in the fitness industry.

The best school for PT's with the best teachers. It has been an experience that I will take with me for the rest of my life. Thank you NZIHF :)

I attended the evening course in 2017. The first part of the course (cert 3) was extremely well structured and interactive...I loved the open discussions afforded to us...I thought I knew a lot before I started but the structure and deliverance of the info was such that you don't realise you've learnt it until you reflect back later on...awesome. The second part (cert 4) introduced a lot of practical, real life modes so that once completed it wouldn't be too much of a shock to enter the real world..the course in general was thorough and Real and put a lot of emphasis on treating the client as an individual and how to look after their needs (I particularly enjoyed the personal touches that we were encouraged to instill in our learning). After using Pts from other gyms I would definitely prefer to use a graduate from nzihf in the future...a far more comprehensive, intensive and personable approach to the client. The tutors were fantastic. All were approachable and ready to share their knowledge. Peter Walker our main tutor was exceptional in his ability to clearly communicate and relay info in a way that we could all understand, not to mention his never ending patience! Sam and crystal were also fantastic tutors and I would highly recommend anyone to take this course. Paul miles (October 2017 grad)

I decided to get my personal training qualifications and searched around for providers. I eventually settled on taking the mix of online study and night class combination that NZIHF offer. The night class combination of theory work and putting that into practice in the on-site gym was great experience to get and I really feel this is what separates the course from other online study options. You get what you pay for just be prepared to do the work to get the results and lifestyle you are looking for.

I couldn't recommend this course enough, from a great campus, amazing tutors and a great support network around you. Found the course to be highly educational and helped me develop new skills and improve others. If your thinking of studying I would highly recommend this place

Great course if you are wanting a career in the fitness industry! Pretty full on but learnt so much. Thanks to Shaun for being an awesome teacher

Was super nervous and anxious before I started, on the first day they made me feel comfortable and were really welcoming, I learnt so much in the short time I was their. Highly recommend if you’re looking at doing a P.T course

Tutor was great! Very helpful throughout the course and the material was very easy to follow/study!

I've been at NZIHF Christchurch for a few months now and it's everything I hoped it would be. I love the programme and how it's being taught- they're really focused on getting us industry-ready with the full complement of soft skills, PT ability, and a head for business. I'm excited for what lies ahead. Thanks Trudy, Tom and the whole Cashel St team!

I have just recently completed my level 4 at the Christchurch campus and just 2 weeks away from completing my level five. I have enjoyed every minute of my time spent at Nzihf, with my class mates and especially with our Tutor Tom Hart what a legend.

Love my Tuesday nights in course! Trudy’s such a great tutor, really down to earth and genuine. The people in my class are all amazing and we have loads of laughs! Never thought I would say I look forward to studying... How times have changed! 😊

Really enjoyed my time here. The instructors were great and had a lot of knowledge that was helpful. Little stories that they have experienced that help you remember what you are learning and bringing it into the real world. Pete and Sam were awesome.

Learnt so much from this course... Professionally and Personally... Made friends and had fun while doing it... Totally recommend this course for anyone wanting to pursue a career in Personal training, in the fitness world or just looking for personal growth.

Highly recommend NZIHF Christchurch, this place is too good. For a start you have tutors that don't don't look down on you, then your in a class of great people, having a great time too.
