National Health & Fitness Academy Avis 

A great course and super easy to navigate with a really fun and engaging way of delivering the content to students

Coaches who have worked in the industry for many combined years of experience who pride themselves on creating the best Personal Trainers

Best Decision I’ve Ever Made!”

I recently completed my Certificate III & IV through the National Health & Fitness Academy, and honestly this experience exceeded all my expectations. From day one, the support from the trainers and the team was next-level. They actually care about your progress and success, and it shows.

The course was super practical, clear, and easy to follow even for someone like me who hadn’t done online study before. Every module helped build my confidence and skills not just for the exam, but for working with real clients.

Massive shoutout to the coaches who kept things engaging, broke things down in ways that made sense, and actually made learning fun. I never felt like I was just a number they were always there when I needed help, and their feedback was on point.

If you’re thinking of becoming a PT and want real support, NHFA is where it’s at. Honestly changed my life. 👏💪

Working with NHFA changed my life, I went from earning $500/pw at a pizza job, to running my own biz, working in an industry that I love, and earning $175k on my own terms, highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to take the leap

As someone hates pen to paper learning I loved this course. 13 face to face sessions gave me the confidence to start my job and convert 4 consults to clients in the second week. I’m now in week 6 at a Goodlife with 6 active clients and lots of prospects. It was nice not having to create awkward videos, especially training elderly and children and submit my work that way. The in person sessions meant I got advice and critiques in real time. The online portal was easy to use and I could track how far I was through the course as I went. It was really motivating which I needed. I like that it was straight to the point with minimal useless information, and I could leave notes for my assessor who helped me when I got stuck. Also my assessor Travis was so quick to mark my assessments. Loved that so much

5 stars for Robbie (Practical teacher). His professionalism and guidance during the practical sessions were next to none. He went above and beyond to prepare us for the real world outside of the course. He simply could have just taught us what was in the curriculum but he really made an effort to make sure all of our answers and worries were settled.

I really enjoy doing the classes, it really helps putting everything you've learned into action for that week.

The coaches at NHFA were outstanding - very knowledgeable, approachable, and seemed genuinely passionate about what they do. I feel confident and well prepared thanks to their guidance. Highly Recommend!

I've had such a great experience studying with NHFA. They make learning so convenient and easy with online assessments, videos and in person classes from experienced coaches and industry professionals! I feel so much more confident in my knowledge and feel equipped to become a PT!

Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and supportive. It truly feels like being part of a great community. The face-to-face intensives was a real highlight as it reinforced everything from the online learning and provided the hands-on experience I was looking for. This is exactly what you would hope for when training to become a great PT.

I recently completed my Certificate III and IV in Fitness with NHFA, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The online theory modules were packed with valuable, practical information, and it’s evident that Dave is deeply passionate about delivering exceptional value to his students.

The in-person practical sessions provided abundant opportunities to refine our skills and build the confidence needed to thrive as Personal Trainers. The NHFA posters and resources were incredibly useful, offering simple, easy-to-remember frameworks for delivering effective cues and maintaining professionalism.

What truly stood out to me was how Dave and the NHFA team go beyond teaching the fundamentals of Personal Training. They provide invaluable insights and guidance for both personal and professional growth, which I found particularly impactful.

I’m now participating in the Business Mentorship Program, which has been an amazing experience so far. Next, I’m excited to begin the Advanced Nutrition course, which will enable me to create tailored meal plans and offer more detailed nutritional advice to my clients.

I’m truly grateful to NHFA for their comprehensive programs and their genuine commitment to supporting their student’s success in the fitness industry and beyond.

Completing my Cert IV through the National Health and Fitness Academy has expanded both my business world and personal life in ways I didn’t expect.

Professionally, it perfectly complements my established mentoring business, allowing me to support my clients holistically - Mind, BODY, and Spirit. My PT knowledge now enhances the mindset work I do, as we regularly check in and integrate exercise for its powerful mental health benefits.

Personally, as a woman in my early 50s, understanding exercise science and basic nutrition has been a game changer. With the natural changes in body composition during this stage of life, having this knowledge has empowered me to prioritise my own self-care and stay strong, mobile, and confident.

I highly recommend this course- especially if you’re midlife and ready to invest in your health on a deeper level. The video library is incredibly helpful, the coaches are supportive, and the online flexibility made it easy to learn around my lifestyle.

Thank you NHFA!

Being with NHFA was probably the best decision I have made to do my cert in fitness the trainers were wicked and the also the people I had worked with. If I was to do my cert again I would definitely choose NHFA

I recently completed my Certificate III and IV in Fitness through NHFA, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey. From start to finish, the course was incredibly engaging both the practical and theory components were well-structured and informative.

Our trainers were knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about helping us succeed. I felt fully supported throughout the entire course, especially during the theory sections, where help and guidance were always available whenever I had questions or needed clarification.

NHFA created a learning environment that was not only professional but also encouraging. I now feel confident stepping into the fitness industry and ready to start making a real difference in people's lives by helping them improve their health and wellness.

I owe a big thank you to the entire NHFA crew.
I truly can’t recommend them enough!

Becoming as personal trainer has changed my entire life for the better ❤️ Best thing I ever did for me and the many people I’ve now helped.

NHFA isn't just a personal training certification course - it's where my entire life transformation began in 2010. As someone who moved to Australia at 18 with -$783 to my name and faced numerous challenges, finding NHFA and meeting Dave Burgis was a turning point that changed the trajectory of my life.

Dave wasn't just the director of this Company; he became my first mentor who I financially invested in, and that investment has paid dividends far beyond the realm of fitness. The course seamlessly blends personal training expertise with business development and, most importantly, self-development principles. This comprehensive approach laid the foundation for what would become multiple successful businesses and a career helping others transform their lives.

What sets NHFA apart is their holistic approach to education. They don't just teach you about exercise and nutrition; they prepare you for real success in the fitness industry while nurturing your personal growth. This unique combination became the springboard for my journey from a struggling young adult to building seven successful businesses, including two multi-7-figure companies.

Dave Burgis's mentorship and NHFA's program were the catalysts that helped me discover my true potential. Today, having helped over 10,000 clients transform their lives and mentored 700+ businesses, I can trace it all back to the invaluable lessons and guidance I received here.

If you're considering a career in fitness or looking for a program that goes beyond just certification, NHFA is where transformation truly begins. It's not just about becoming a personal trainer - it's about becoming the best version of yourself.

My experience so far with NHFA has been incredible. The ease of online learning coupled with face to face practicals is perfect for someone like me who works full time, trains regularly, and doesn't have too much spare time.

Dave has such a down to earth approach to teaching theory and communicates the lessons in such a way that make it easy to understand. As someone who doesn't have a high aptitude for scholastic exercises, this approach makes it efficient and very fun.

I would definitely recommend NHFA to anyone looking to get their PT certification.

Completing my Certificate III & IV in Fitness with NHFA throughout 2024 and 2025 has been a life-changing journey. What started as a personal goal has grown into a deep passion to help others transform their lives through health and fitness. The course challenged me, inspired me, and gave me the tools and confidence to step into the fitness industry with purpose.
I’m incredibly grateful for the support from the NHFA team, who brought not only their knowledge but their genuine passion for helping students succeed. The experience has shaped me not just as a trainer, but as a person, teaching me the importance of discipline, empathy, and lifelong learning.
This is just the beginning. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m excited to give back by helping others reach their goals and discover their own strength.
Thank you NHFA for the knowledge, the support, and the inspiration to chase this dream.

Great experience & learning course for those looking to add to their work experience, knowledge & step out of their comfort zones.
The coaches are wonderful & helpful every step of the way. They push you to your limit & definitely test your knowledge as well (in a good way).
Great for beginners & athletes.
What I loved about NHFA was team and the people I met through this course.

An incredible experiences with amazing coaches. For someone who is a more visual learner and loves doing hands on work this is absolutely amazing! The videos are so easy to understand and are very short and simple. The coaches as well are amazing they're very very helpful and are always willing to help up strive to the best of your ability!

An Incredible Experience! The coaches were all highly knowledgeable, supportive, and welcoming, making sure everyone felt comfortable and valued. Their expertise and encouragement were invaluable, ensuring we got the most out of the course. Having Dave involved in some of the sessions and the final evaluation was a real highlight—his dedication to creating successful personal trainers was evident, and his passion for the profession truly shone through.
Thank you to all the staff at NHFA
