The Tutors were great
The Tutors were great, and made sure none of us were behind, or unaware of what we were doing throughout the course. The tutor Trevor, was especially friendly and extremely helpful.

Great learning experience L3 yoga instructor course
I have really enjoyed this course from start to finish. I decided to take the online version of the level 3 yoga instructor course. 07/06/25-25/07/25. From enrolling to completing the course, everything has been brilliant and well communicated. The course itself fitted perfectly around my life commitments and was at a pace of learning that suited me. The contents of the course were engaging and informative and instructions of how to teach yoga were clearly demonstrated.
My course tutor was Smita Raja and I can't thank her enough for being a wonderful teacher and mentor. Everything has been explained in an insightful and interesting way, from the practical application in the teaching environment to the philosophical side to yoga and how that can also be applied to every day life. Feedback on homework has been incredibly helpful and she really does genuinely want us to be the best we can be in our practice.
I would highly recommend this course!

Brilliant tutors
I've just completed and passed the level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing & Personal Training course. A major factor in me doing so was my amazing and brilliant tutors, Trisha White and Trevor Clarke. They were both so knowledgable and giving of their time, especially Trisha as I came onto the course with very limited understanding of the anatomy, physiology and nutrition knowledge to pass but Trisha explained it a way that made it easier to understand and remember. I have just started in a PT role and I am already using the skills and top tips shared with me, so thank you!

Yoga Teacher Training
I did my yoga teacher training with the YMCAFit between January and March this year, and I'm glad I picked their course!
The tutors Annie, David and Smita are brilliant, and I'm very grateful for what I learned from them. They push you to do your best work both in terms of practical and theoretical sides of yoga, and I thoroughly enjoyed my weekends training with them.
On top of that, this course offers you a Level 3 and CIMSPA accreditation, which is rare to find for yoga teacher training, as most of the courses out there are only validated by the Yoga Alliance, which isn't an officially qualifications body. This is the main factor that led me to choose the YMCAFit, as accreditation is very important for me.
The only downside is the eLearning platform, inconsistent communication from the Student Support Team, and the quality of the content that the YMCAFit puts on there. It caused me a lot of headaches, but I got there in the end. They need to improve on that, and I have provided them feedback on my experience and suggestions for improvement, as I don't think it's fair to just say mean things in public without offering a solution, as you see with some reviews on here.
You have to be self-motivated to do this course and expect to work independently once the face-to-face days are over, as there's still a lot to do after that and you have to manage and prioritise your own time.
It is quite intense, so my advice is to only do this course if you are really invested in becoming a yoga teacher and you truly have the vocation/want to become a teacher.
If you just want to do this course for fun or to learn a little bit more about yoga, then I'm afraid this isn't a good investment for you, as it requires a lot of dedication and some financial investment. In that case search for workshops/read books or go on retreats, as you'll be better served if teaching isn't your vocation or something you'd like to do.
I might be back to the YMCAFit for CPD courses next year!

Level 2 and 3 PT and gym instructing
Tutors were great, punctual and friendly - Tim, Trisha and Trevor.
The content was covered well, it was a lot to take in but made relatively manageable.
Assessments were handled well.
My Enrolment advisor Rafaela was kind, friendly and helpful.
The venue choice could be better, slightly dated equipment and subpar WiFi for the classroom sessions.
Aptem is an interesting website to say the least, hope it gets updated to be more friendly as a few of my coursemates lost work randomly. And having the save button right at the bottom of long files is not the most user friendly option.

Great Teachers and Friendly Support at YMCA
I really enjoyed learning at the YMCA. The teachers were knowledgeable, helpful and fostered supportive and friendly atmosphere. When I had a personal problem, they gave me extra time to finish my Level 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training. Their support helped me finish the course and feel ready for my career. I highly recommend the YMCA to anyone seeking high quality training with caring teachers on their fitness journey.

The physical lessons in the studio with Annie and David where great, really knowledgeable tutors and very approachable. The online learning system aptem, pretty diabolical. I didn't use student support much to comment. The marking system is also questionable but is that because of the aptem system used?

A Heartfelt Salute to the Unsung Heroes at YMCAFit
I originally wrote a glowing five-star review, praising every aspect of the course. However, after some reflection, I felt it was only fair to both the YMCAFit team, past and present, and to fellow customers, of which I have recently been one,to revisit my review with a more balanced perspective. Having experienced YMCAFit both as a customer and as a middle manager, I feel a responsibility to be honest and transparent.
Let me be clear: this five-star rating is a tribute to the tireless efforts of the middle management, student support staff, team leaders, learning support tutors, sales team, and the tutors who deliver the courses. I salute you. Your dedication and resilience deserve recognition. I’ve read many past reviews, and I want to stress that the individuals on the ground, particularly those long-serving members of the team,should not shoulder blame for challenges often beyond their control.
To borrow a quote from Geoffrey Howe’s resignation speech, it sometimes felt “like sending your opening batsmen to the crease, only for them to find their bats had been broken by the team captain before the first ball was bowled.” That sentiment resonated deeply with aspects of my own experience.
That said, there were standout individuals who made a lasting impact during my recent course. Special thanks to Michelle and Boba in the sales team, who were consistently helpful and responsive. Des in student support was a rock, nothing was ever too much trouble. And Trevor, the tutor, the myth, the legend, delivered my course with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine passion. You are each an outstanding example of what YMCAFit can be at its best.
YMCAFit, both past and present, has been home to some truly dedicated professionals. I salute you! 🫡

YMCAFit is a total scam.
YMCA is Probably the biggest scam in the fitness industry. Terrible course content, very out of date and not in-line with current health and fitness knowledge. Appalling student support, terrible teachers. When I complained about how dreadful my yoga course was they agreed to send me a refund of my deposit and advised me to cancel my student loan but I have not received a refund and David Francis from Head Office, who is the man who agreed to refund my deposit, now ignores my emails and phone calls. Where is my £250 YMCAFit? I’ve been waiting patiently for a really long time.
Many people have complained about the outdated and badly taught courses. You can find far better online courses elsewhere for less money and the SAME qualification.
Avoid this company like the plague.
