If you’re not the right fit for their little club, NZIHF will make sure you feel it. The place runs on money first, but the way they treat people who don’t look or sound a certain way? That hits even harder. I felt invisible unless it was time to pay, and any time I needed help or support, suddenly no one was around. Funny how some students get all the attention, all the answers, and the rest of us get ignored or talked down to. Feels like unless you fit a certain box, you’re not welcome, and it’s not even subtle. If you want an education where everyone’s treated fairly, this is not the place unless your bank balance and your background match their favorites. Save your time, money, and dignity

I have just finished my diploma in personal training with NZIHF and I would definitely recommend. The tutors were top notch and the electives were varied and taught by some world class athletes. I am just starting my first PT job and thanks to NZIHF I am hitting the ground running. Extra bonus of getting to hang with some of the best future pt’s in class! -A Cosner

I completed both my Certificate and Diploma at NZ Institute of Health and Fitness, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. It’s been a real journey—challenging, rewarding, and full of growth. I met so many driven, like-minded people who are going to do incredible things in the fitness industry. A massive thank you to Milly, my tutor, who helped me build confidence in prescribing exercise and always made sure I stayed on track. The electives were super informative and added real value to the core content. NZIHF didn’t just prepare me to be a personal trainer—it gave me a deeper understanding of how people experience the gym differently, which has made me a more empathetic and effective coach. Huge thanks to Preston and Milly for making it a 10/10 experience!

I’ve just completed the PT course with NZIHF and couldn’t recommend it more. The course is incredibly well laid out. The structure made it easy to stay on track, and each module built nicely on the last. The tutors are supportive, approachable, and genuinely want you to succeed. Special shout-out to Milly, who was absolutely incredible. She’s knowledgeable, clear, and made all the content feel manageable. Her support and guidance throughout the course made a massive difference. If you’re thinking about doing your PT cert, this is the place to do it.

I have recently completed my level four fitness leader certificate through NZIHF, with my more advanced Personal training certificate on its way in roughly a week. It was definitely the right move joining this institute, I have learnt valuable skills and I feel well prepared to go out into the industry. I love that the course is short but offers everything you need, from learning about the body, to learning how to prescribe workouts to different people and even teaching us how to operate our own business and make sales! I have been lucky enough to work with Tom and Preston, who both offer tons of support and guidance throughout the course. I studied at the Wellington campus and the environment and people are awesome, and I’ve definitely made some friends for life . My one big recommendation other than enrolling in this course is to also take the pro series workshops, they have opened my eyes to so many different routes to take within the fitness industry and I have truly learnt so much through them. I highly recommend NZIHF

I gained my Fitness leader certificate and my more advanced PT certificate from this institute which took around six months and I couldn't be more impressed and satisfied with my experience studying at this institute. The teachers there were some of the kindest, encouraging and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thomas Hart and Francesca Kurghan were my two teachers while I was there and they were both always very kind and very helpful when it came to taking part in in-class practicals and helping us prepare for upcoming assessments, they also made sure to set aside extra time during the week If I ever needed help with my work or If I had missed a class they would set aside some time for me to come into class to help me catch up. I highly recommend anyone who is wanting to expand their knowledge and skill-set in the fitness industry study here.

As a graduate, I really enjoyed studying the fitness leader course. Tom, Fran and the team were really easy to work with and I really enjoyed how they pushed me to understand why I wanted to do what I do, and they really know how to help when I am behind. I really also liked how in person and hands on the coaching sessions were as they translate completely to my new job, and also how genuine the tutors are!

I have been studying with NZIHF since November 2022. The courses provided at NZIHF don’t online focus on training basics but everything else that is included in running a personal training business. All the practical parts of the course were directly related to what you’d actually be doing as a PT eg. Consultation practise, movement appraisals, induction sessions etc. This is definitely the course to do if you want to be best set up for your career and you’re not just doing it for to try get an easy qualification and leave. I’m currently finishing off my level 5 certificate in exercises and have already had amazing support from my tutors. Tutors at NZIHF have assisted my job seeking by referring me out to suitable gyms and making sure after I finish my studies I am set up in the best environment possible to thrive. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

I completed my studies with NZIHF in April 2023, I felt the course helped me to be sufficiently prepared for the health and fitness industry and by the end of it many doors were opened to jobs as a personal trainer. If you are interested in becoming a personal trainer or just learning more about health and fitness I would highly recommend NZIHF. I was fortunate to have Tom and Fran as my Tutors, they were passionate about what they teach and they went above and beyond to help everyone succeed in the course.
