The sign up was quick and efficient. The course itself was very intense, but if you focus it is possible. Lyndsey was our tutor and she was very friendly. When we asked for revision help, she found time during the day to try go through some of it with us. The job support team got me an interview with a gym, although I'm not sure if I'll be taking it. Would have been helpful to get a bit more time in the gym doing practical work, but understand that there is a small time window.
Was very well run on the 11 days of teaching, very relaxed structure and good atmosphere to learn in. Ideally there would have been more focus around revision in the class as that was much more challenging then the practical side.
All course tutors were very friendly and easy to contact, and they provided good helpful advice throughout both academic and job wise after qualifying.

They are very helpful and ready to help. It is very nice to learn whith the Training Room. When my friends are asking me about the course what I started to learn here, I always telling them that is a very good opportunity to try what you want.
Hi Jovana,

So the course was great the tutors were really helpful, the course is obviously only 3 days in the first week and 2 days a week for the remaining 4 weeks this is the full time course. I think personally if you can soak up information and have a lot of spare time this course is for you if you take a little longer learning donthe part time course as it gives you more time to study but overall I'd recommend the training room.
When searching for PT courses online I come across the Training Room, I then inquired about what they could offer me and they got back to me with a lot of information. I also looked at some other organisations but they didn't offer what I was looking for, so I chose to go with the Training Room. This was the right choice because I work full time so therefore wasn't able to commit to a full time classroom based course, so I was able to do home learning at my own pace.
My tutor was a guy named Luke Crossley and he was amazing to be honest. He provided me with a lot of help and guidance and responded to emails more or less straight away. If you end up with him as your tutor you will definitely do well!
As for the loan agreement etc I have had no problems with that at all, I was able to get an interest free loan and I pay back a set amount each month, with the option of calling them if I want to pay a big chunk off.
The Training Room is a really great choice for getting your Level 2 and 3 PT qualifications. I did the full time 5 week course and it has everything in it to get you going as a PT. Classroom always had a really friendly casual atmosphere so I was always looking forward to coming back and the material provided is really useful and in depth. Our tutor Jenna was amazing and effective in both delivering good content while still being approachable and providing a chilled out environment to learn. A lot of this course rests on your own individual hard work and is by no means a guarantee of being instantly inundated with job offers when completed. But if you have the motivation to complete the course then the Training Room has more than enough support to train you till you're confident in your coaching abilities. I've learned a lot from this course and can't recommend it highly enough as well as the professionalism and charisma of the training staff like Jenna, Martin and Darren. Definitely a worthwhile investment! Thank you Jenna! Much love, Johnny (the greatest PT who ever lived).
The Training Room training for Level two and three is tuned in to learners needs, trundles along swiftly, is task orientated, toned, trim & tremendous fun. Turn up and train
From day one Jenna was superb with us all as a collective group and individually. She had time for everyone and tried so hard to get everyone to pass the course with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Was a really interesting and insightful course and I have learned so much in the past 5 weeks about myself and what it means to be a PT from the whole coaching side to the nutrition and anatomy side of things. So cheers Jenna for everything! Connor.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I felt the content along with the class size was excellent. Luke was extremely knowledgable and delivered the course in such a way that it was also fun rather than just getting show power points. I felt I could contribute without feeling silly and the different teaching tools made it enjoyable. The opportunities to practice in the gym were also plentiful.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a personal trainer.
Best decision of my life so far going with the training room. I had Nick Williams as my tutor who provided me all the support I could need. I learnt a large variety of key things for when I become self employed, and I have left feeling confident to start my journey as a personal trainer. Had an amazing experience with Nick and the rest of the class, gutted it has come to an end!
I recently completed my Level 3 qualification in Personal Training and my tutor (Martin H) was incredibly supportive and got me through it so quickly! I'd highly recommend anyone to use The Training Room. Their customer service is fantastic.
I had a really positive experience with the Training Room. I loved the flexibility of the course and the atmosphere of the group. The tutors were great and enabled and supported my progression.
The course was really interesting and helped me to learn how to apply knowledge effectively to train clients in the future. It also highlighted the expectations of the business aspects of personal training.
I found the course was tough but worth while if you're interested in going into the fitness industry, you gain all the relevant information for what you will need to become a successful PT. I have also started phase 2 with getting interviews and a job offer from the career support. It's a great course, with the extra courses such as gym based boxing and has great support from the tutors
An intense course in 5 weeks, it's very self based learning, so self discipline is key, but I managed to get through and I'm really pleased. My tutor was great, so I couldn't ask for more.
Embarking on a complete change of career direction is definitely daunting but support through TTR has been brilliant.
I have had the privilege of having Dan Reilly as my tutor. He definitely goes above and beyond. He has taken the time to provide all of my group a great level of support.
Dan has a way of making you feel at ease and his in-depth knowledge has made for a very enjoyable course.
You definitely need to commit one hundred percent as there is a lot to take in. I have been particularly fortunate by having a great class going through this with me.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wishing to go down this route. I wanted to be in a classroom environment as doing it purely on line does not suit my learning style.
Overall top marks to Dan and TTR.
I am really enjoying the course so far, and look forward to the days in the classroom. There is a lot to learn, but I find Daniel's way of teaching so engaging and he breaks it down in a way that makes it much easier to understand and take in. If you're looking for a great tutor to guide you on your journey, then look no further! I would definitely recommend this course, as long as you're willing to put in the hard work.
There is no doubt it is an intensive course, lots to do not much time to do it. That said it has been made easier by our most excellent tutor Daniel Reilly I am in awe of his depth of knowledge on all the subject mater relating to the course and beyond.
His ability to cater for the different learning styles of the group is second to none, I say that as a trainer in a different skill set who has worked alongside and been coached/tutored by numerous other trainers over the years.
For me having a physical copy of the manuals helps tremendously, these are in general well supported by the videos and Webanairs.
All in all a good course, but don't be fooled you have to put the work in.

The training I received was first class. I feel privileged to be a graduated from such a prestigious and renowned institution as the Training Room and the knowledge and skills I received have helped me to embark in my new career
Having looked on their website it's because clear that they have cherry picked their reviews. Feefo boast a 4.6/5 which is FARR from the truth! They have taken £4000 of my money. Failed to load me onto a course I requested and then have the audacity to tell me my guarantee period has ended. I had supplied proof of my emails being unanswered and yet they're calling me a liar! Going to leave a review everyday until someone takes note of this and puts an end to their appualing attitude towards customers.
Answer: Hi Kim, Thank you for the question, I know you are hoping for a response from some of our graduates, so I thought I would point you in the direction towards what some of our previous students have said about us. https://www.thetrainingroom.com/success-stories
Answer: I have been taken to court by them when I refused to pay and I will have to pay over £5500 for their scammy training. It's unthinkable that Croydon County Court supported these criminals. Shame on you Croydon County Court but hey what can you expect from Croydon?!
Answer: Don't fool yourself this company is a scam and they won't lead you anywhere they don't care about your achievements and they only care about you paying the course stay away
Answer: The prices vary depending on course, but it's definitely worth calling and enquiring.
