7 reviews for FABS Fast Track Training for existing fitness/dance professionals

  1. Carole

    A brilliant course would highly recommend it to friends and colleagues.

  2. Joanna

    I was very impressed how Belinda delivered the course to us all. Her knowledge, experience and teaching was brilliant. I found learning from Belinda very inspirational. I am so glad that I have taken the course. I know the feeling that things feel impossible to do, after recently finding out I have osteoarthritis in the hips and psoriasis arthritis. So I know the importance of exercise and strengthening muscles and ligaments around the joints. I hope I too will able to help people who are in a similar position. Thank you very much to Belinda and the team at Move it or Lose it.

  3. Claire

    I had a great weekend and learnt so much. I can’t wait to put it into practice.
    The course was very well structured.
    Sandra was very clear and concise.

  4. Janis

    Everything was excellent from the quality of the e-learning through to the manual downloads. There was always someone available to contact if needed. On the actual training weekend the trainer was excellent. She was very reassuring throughout and gave lots of advice and corrections where necessary.

  5. Lyndsey

    Wonderful tutor with vast experience and knowledge with an infectious personality.

  6. Susan

    The course trainer was an excellent tutor, made the course very enjoyable and very professional. This course actually gives you the skills to go away and teach unlike others that are more theory based.

  7. Richard

    Very much enjoyed the course and would recommend to any future potential instructor.
