Success story

One learner joined the fitness course after struggling with a lung condition caused by COVID. She said:

“I had respiratory issues when doing exercise before the course started. I was referred by a friend who had done the course before me. The course helped me to overcome my respiratory struggles. I feel much fitter and I am looking forward to helping inactive people in the community by running group sessions, do Level 3 and become a personal trainer for women and young girls.”
