About YMCAfit

Our top priority is helping learners achieve their dreams

We train our learners in a way that sets them up for a longstanding career, not just to tick boxes and pass an exam. We’ve developed the largest portfolio of courses in the UK and we’re investing in this world-class training, continually making it better and ensuring our courses stay relevant for the modern-day fitness industry – that's why 97% of our learners would recommend us!

We’re the UK’s first fitness training provider

We’ve been around for a long time and have watched the industry evolve. In 1984, we launched the first-ever Exercise to Music course, which helped shape the start of the modern-day fitness industry in the UK. Over the past four decades, we have fine-tuned our courses to help learners become the best fitness professionals they can be.

We believe in high quality

Our ethos is simple: to provide high-quality fitness training and education. By providing opportunities for our learners to grow as individuals, we help them pursue their passion and gain skills to improve the health of their communities. We set them up for success, both as an individual and as a valuable asset to fitness clubs and gyms.

We also strongly believe in the importance of face to face learning and are proud to be one of the few UK training providers to offer it.

When it comes to our qualifications that involve working with advanced equipment or with specific techniques, such as Gym Instructing, Personal Training, Pilates, and Sports Massage, we like to include face to face sessions to prepare learners to work in a gym or studio setting.
