New Zealand Institute of Health and Fitness

"One of the best decisions I've ever made was enrolling in a certification through NZIHF. I come from an education background, but wanted a change, and was blown away by the quality of delivery. The tutors are as friendly as they are knowledgeable, leveraging years of experience within the fitness industry to provide a well-rounded education. Even if you've got no intention of entering the fitness industry as a personal trainer, there's value to be gained by studying with NZIHF. From insights into how the body works and how it can be improved, proper nutrition, and even just more confidence in and a better understanding of how you move through your daily life, I could not endorse NZIHF highly enough."

"NZIHF with Josh and Amanda was awesome. I did the PT and Fitness leader courses. The courses cover everything you need to be a PT/Trainer, coach, knowledge on nutrition, mobility, starting and managing a business, training for specific needs and goals and so much more. Josh is very knowledgeable but most importantly great at building relationships with his students and being empathetic with everyone's situations. The courses portal is easy to access and navigate with everything you need at your finger tips as well as having a physical book. Classes were always a good mix of theory and practical and sometimes practical and practical....cardio sessions and group activities were awesome! Never any feelings of pressure and class numbers were small so you had more opportunities to ask questions and get Josh to tell us some great stories. Every session he'd ask us how we were and where our wellbeing was at so we quickly got comfortable understanding everyone's backgrounds which made it easy to connect with peers. The environment was always clean and tidy and we always had an unlimited amount of biscuits. Definitely recommend learning in person although their online support and many outreaches around the country are top notch. I look forward to catching up with Josh and Amanda somewhere down my journey."

"I have just completed my diploma of Weight Management coaching with Josh at NZIHF Hamilton Campus after initially studying for NZIHF Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. I can honestly say that I have grown so much as a person and the knowledge I have gained is mind-blowing. Josh and his wife Amanda have created such an inclusive space to become part of, which is exactly what happens. The chats around the table inbetween the work made the whole experience totally doable and enjoyable no matter how nervous you were or how much you were outside your comfort zone. You walked out of each session full of new knowledge and concepts as well as freaking proud of yourself and what you achieved. So proud to be a NZIHF graduate and recommend Josh at Hamilton Campus to get you where you want to go."

"If you're looking for a holistic, sustainable approach to managing your own weight or supporting others the NZIHF Diploma in Weight Management course is fantastic. You cover in depth what influences our bodyweight, how the body is designed for survival and how habits are formed but can be tweaked. Then you use tools and develop your practical skills to put the information into practice. A great course that will build on the knowledge and experience you bring from your own life. Josh was an amazing tutor who guided, supported and encouraged me throughout my study."

"Absolutely amazing staff, Josh was my Tutor and he went above and beyond to ensure I understood the learning material. I would recommend NZIHF Hamilton to anyone who is looking to gain their PT certs."
