My sad experience
Unfortunately, the company is engaged in financial blackmail against its clients. This is my sad experience. I will undoubtedly involve lawyers. More...

Terrible customer service. After realising that I'll not be able to become a PT in the UK (I discovered after purchasing the course that my visa doesn't allow me to) I asked them to cancel my package, but they refused to do it and are still collecting the money. Course-wise the content is pretty basic and their evaluation process is a checkbox exercise. If I can't be certified anyway, there is better content on YouTube. For those who want a certification, I would chose any other provider, as these guys will do very little to support you even if it is the right thing to do.

Also pay attention on how many positive reviews they have from people that didn't start the course. Their sales team is really amazing, super friendly bunch, but after that you are completely on your own. You have been warned.

Just to clarify: I'm not looking for a visa to live in the UK, I already have one. But my current visa doesn't allow me to work as a PT, something I discovered after the fact, and after the 14 days cancellation period. I don't care if this course is accredited or not anywhere else. It's simply not useful for me and I don't want to pay for something that's not useful.

They could've split the difference with me since this relationship is not good for anyone, but they threatened me to collect my money even if I cancel my future payments - even after I clearly stated that I'm not doing the course and don't plan to complete it.

THIS COURSE DOES NOT PREPARE YOU TO BECOME A PT, IT IS SIMPLY AN EXPENSIVE TICK BOX EXERCISE TO GAIN A CERTIFICATE.

AND! IF YOUR THINKING THIS SOUNDS GREAT I JUST WANT A CERTIFICATE ANYWAY THEN WAIT A MINUTE ....
THEY TAKE 10 WORKING DAYS TO MARK ANY ASSIGNMENT AND GET IT BACK TO YOU. IF THERES ISSUES YOU THEN HAVE TO AMMEND IT AND WAIT ANOTHER 10 WORKING DAYS TO GET IT BACK AGAIN. THIS COULD TAKE A FULL MONTH JUST TO SIGN OFF 1 ASSIGNMENT.
THEY ALSO HAVE MINIMAL ASSESSMENTS RUNNING SO USUALLY YOU WONT BE ABLE TO BOOK ON ONE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, SO IF YOU GET REFERRED FOR ANY REASON THEN THIS WILL TAKE ANOTHER SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET BOOKED ON ONE AGAIN.

The course is really poor unfortunately for many reasons. It is essentially just slides to read followed by "assignments" where you just have to copy information from the handouts to pass. The courses are focused on to many minor details which are just not important and then the important parts don't have as much information.

There are no tutor videos explaining anything in detail or giving the information any relevance to the job role. It is simply, read this text and answer these questions. The questions are complex and the slides don't actually teach you the information so you end up just copying from the handouts to answer them. Imagine spending £1200 for a PT level 3 course, getting given a textbook and some worksheets sent in the post to complete for that amount of money. That is essentially what it is but just online. They sell the course as an "interactive" course but the most interaction you get is tick box exercises and the "course videos" are sparce and just taken from youtube!

I have had to pay for another course provider and a coach to get myself to the point of understanding the job at a good level and I tend to learn quite quickly. This course unfortunately has had the bear minimum effort on its set up and is simply a scheme to make lots of money to hand out certificates but not actually teach the subjects or instruct in order to produce good PTs.

Save your money and time. Find another provider

I did the L2 Fitness instructing award online with PT still to come. The course is well structured and the modules easy to pass as its multiple choice or simple assignment questions to complete. I feel the marking could be quicker, but I appreciate they have thousands of students. The best part was if you do get stuck you get responses super quick so you don't just get stuck on a section and you vcan;t get passed it. You can start a different module and then wait for the email of how to do that part. Hoping my Level 3 will be more of the same. More...

Where to begin !!! This has been truly the one of the best experices of my short life. I made the decision to start a career in PT, hoping to do online and Origym have been fantastic since enquiring about the course. They use real PTs so they came across more knowledgeable on the industry than others (not mentioning names) that I spoke with.Will signed me up and was dead helpful so I would recommend speaking to him if you get the chance. I completed the blended option and did my workshops at sports direct in Fareham. Vicki the teacher was nice, informative and clearly knew alot about personal training....I feel like i have learnt alot from her, so thanks Vicki.Everyhting has been delivered in a timely manner and overall I can't fault the entire process. Just waiting on my certs n ow and hopefully a new chapter in my life!!! More...

Outstanding across the board. Will was an excellent tutor. The workshop was well structured and delivered excellently bridging the gap between theory and practical applications brilliantly. The facilities and environment were the best I have experienced in comparison to similar courses I have taken. Thank you for an amazing learning experience More...

Had a friend pre-pay for his level-2 and level-3 courses.
Sadly he passed away half way through the level-2 course so never even got close to starting the level-3.

Origym are now refusing to refund the family for the level-3 course (a significant amount that would help immensely with funeral costs) as being dead doesn't seem to be a good enough reason for not being able to attend.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour, staff and management should be ashamed of themselves. I would not recommend using this company.

I passed my full time PT course at Origym last month and I was really impressed with how professional the set up Is there. Lots of knowledgeable teachers and trainers who were always happy to help, big shout to Mike, Dan and Irish Colin- legends! The course itself is intense and there is a lot of hard work but it was really enjoyable.So happy I changed from the online course to full time as the information and advice you gain from the staff is excellent.I exhausted myself researching training providers but it was worth it as these guys exceeded my expectations. Keep up the good work guys!! More...

Originally signed up for the online, then switch over to the Full time in Liverpool as I was struggling to find time to get the online one done with work, the gym of course and two little ones at home. Real good group to learn with, met some great friends and the tutors really went the extra mile for us, which I think we all came to the same conclusion on. Glad I picked OriGym in the end, as it was tricky with deciding who best to train with, but I would recommend the fast track classroom one as the online is very in depth and takes a while to go through all the modules.

Just qualified from the Part time PT course with the practical workshops in Nottingham. Curtis was a top tutor, really engaging and insightful. A great bunch of other people on the course who I will be staying in touch with who made the course really fun and enjoyable to look forward to on a Saturday. The company changed the materials a couple of times during my time on the course, but it was to improve things which once you adapt and get used to you can see the improvements that they have made. Got my CPDs still to do and hopefully Curtis is teaching. Really excited to now get started in the industry. More...

When I first decided to retrain as a PT I did lots of research as I wanted to make sure I found a trusted organisation that would let me study online and do the practicals locally. I was really impressed after speaking to Luke as opposed to some of the other organisations I spoke to. I appreciated the personal touch and I have always enjoyed going to the gym in Bootle to do assessment and training days and CPD days as all the team are really friendly and make you feel welcome and the owners, Steph and Luke are really friendly and down to earth too. I have studied my Level 2 and 3 and have recently passed my GP referral course and am now doing my level 4 PT course. The customer service and the course materials are excellent and I would fully recommend Origym if you want to be a Personal Trainer but you don't know which organisation to choose. I am so glad that I chose them. More...
