Padwork course
Really well structured padwork course.
I have a fair bit of knowledge from my martial arts days, but gave some good tips and other perspectives to using padwork in 1:1 sessions.
Really enjoyed it, very sweaty and a really engaging tutor- Trevor. Thank you!

Happy and praise to Tutors Trevor Clarke, Timothy Shaw and YMCWA as a whole
Trevor Clarke was great, he delivered the content in a fun and engaging way, he made it relatable to everyday life that made it easier to remember the new key terms.
Ymca is probably one of the select few providers in Fitness I'd personally endorse based on their approach to provide honest information, no hard sales to buy into their products and services and no bombardment emails like other providers. I was confident upon joining, and now complete confident moving forward and happy to take on additional courses in future with YMCA and would highly recommend them on this basis.

Higher Diploma in Personal Training course - Great experience
I would highly recommend the Higher Diploma in Personal Training course (Level 2 Gym Instructing, Level 3 Personal Training, plus First Aid and additional CPD qualifications).
Having now completed the course, I am incredibly glad that I chose this route over a purely online qualification. The balance between classroom learning, practical gym-based work, coursework, and examinations made the whole experience feel much more rounded and reflective of the real fitness industry.
A huge strength of the course is the practical element. A lot of the learning takes place in the onsite gym, where you work directly with classmates to plan and deliver PT sessions to one another. That hands-on experience gave me far more confidence than I think I would have gained through online study alone.
The instructors were excellent throughout: knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students understand the material properly, rather than simply teaching toward an exam.
It is definitely an intensive course and requires real commitment. Attendance standards are high and the workload can be demanding, but honestly, I think that adds a lot of credibility to the qualification. You genuinely feel that you have earned it by the end.
I also want to give particular credit to the student support team. Throughout the process, including onboarding, marking, feedback, and qualification support, the staff consistently went above and beyond to help whenever issues arose. In particular, thank you to Bubacarr, Nick, and the wider support team for all the assistance provided throughout the course.
Overall, a challenging but genuinely worthwhile qualification that I would absolutely recommend to anyone serious about pursuing a career in personal training.

Your kind words about our Student Support team are very much appreciated, and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to Bubacarr, Nick, and the wider team. They will be delighted to know their support made a difference to your journey.

Yoga teacher training course
For those who would like to train as a Yoga teacher I would like to recommend a face-to-face Hatha Yoga teacher training course with Annie Vincent. From the very beginning, I found myself looking forward to every Sunday session, it’s become the highlight of my week.
Annie is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, with a depth of experience that really shows in the way she teaches. But what makes her truly special is how she brings people together. Thanks to her, the whole group connected so quickly, it honestly feels like a real community.
She has a rare ability to support every level, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners, always knowing how to guide each person to do their best.
For me, she is a Teacher in the truest sense of the word. I feel very lucky to be learning from her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Annie!!! Namaste ❤️🙏

Be aware...
The course itself was okay - though it did feel a bit out of date.
The online systems were painfully inadequate and the customer service has been abysmal... I completed every part of my course but had to re-do one assessment. When I called in, they had lost all of my details and my work, so I emailed them everything and scanned in all of my written work. They mixed up my information with other people's (they sent me emails addressed to other people). Since then, I have tried to contact them numerous times to sort this out but nothing has been done, they have said they will look into it and get back to me but I've heard nothing. I'm now being told that too much time has elapsed and there's nothing I can do.

We take all reviews seriously; however, we have conducted a thorough review of our records and are unable to locate any learner account or registration details matching your name.
In addition, the issues described do not reflect how our systems or processes operate. All coursework is completed and stored securely within our learning platform, and therefore cannot be lost in the manner described. We also do not require learners to scan and resend written work.
We maintain a fully operational Student Support team, accessible via phone and email, and all queries are logged and responded to. We also operate a formal complaints process, which is monitored and handled in line with set procedures.
Given the discrepancies outlined, we are concerned that this review does not relate to YMCAfit. We would kindly ask that you check the training provider you enrolled with and ensure your review is directed to the correct organisation.

Inconsistent /blurred support The YMCA name and reputation is what…
The YMCA name and reputation is what makes people trust their courses and providers, but sadly my experience did not live up to that trust.
A lot of the complaints and disappointments I’ve read from others are actually true and very accurate. I was on the ETM course, and while my course tutor did try to help, the overall support was very inconsistent. The workload was also overwhelming at times, especially for people studying online.
The Aptem platform feels outdated and unreliable, yet towards the end of the course they constantly chase you for work and deadlines. Support should be accessible, clear, and consistent throughout the whole course, not just at certain points.
Overall, this course and organisation were a real disappointment. Personally, I do not feel it was worth the money or the trusted reputation attached to the YMCA name.
I also raised a complaint and was met with endless emails that never really addressed the issues. The support team were vague, unhelpful, and often seemed just as confused as the students.
When people sign up for a course, they should receive the support and experience they were promised. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me. I would honestly recommend looking elsewhere — somewhere that genuinely supports your growth, helps you feel accomplished, and values your time and money instead of leaving you feeling ripped off and constantly chasing for help.
I would give it no stars if I could.
Please avoid!
