WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

KERRY SILVER

NEVER2OLD 4 FITNESS

"I thoroughly enjoyed the training with Aqua Fitness Online and found Claire and the team to be very professional in their approach to both the Face-to-Face and Online training. As a Personal Trainer, I found the Face-to Face very helpful in understanding the huge differences in delivering exercise programs to participants in water-based v land sessions. The online component was very simple to access, well laid out, and easy to follow. The learning was invaluable for providing safe, dynamic, well-balanced classes. The team was readily available for any assistance required and always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend the team to anyone who is looking to become a well-trained, competent Aqua Fitness Professional. "
