Testimonials

I recently completed the **Gut Health Essentials** course and found it to be an incredibly practical, informative and evidence-based course for anyone wanting to better understand gut health.

Bex Lock was an extremely knowledgeable presenter who made the course both interesting and easy to understand. I particularly appreciated how she connected the science to practical applications for working with clients, which is especially valuable for Personal Trainers and health and fitness professionals.

As a Pilates Teacher and Personal Trainer, I found the course fantastic and gained a much greater understanding of the digestive system and the role of the gut microbiome.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of gut health and learn how to apply this information in a practical way when working with clients.

I’ve recently completed a Cert 4 in Nutrition Coaching with FEO. I found the entire experience to be very positive; from the initial inductions and sign up, through to final completions and course assistance. The team provide a seamless experience that was an overall positive outcome.
Having done previous studies in Psychotherapy the course was easy to review and utilise in my business. I would recommend all Health Professionals implement Behaviour Change modalities in their services.

FEO is a great place to study fitness online if, like me, you have a full time job or other commitments. The topics are explained well and assessments are marked quickly. They also provide access to CPDs for continued learning and industry networking via events and Ausactive membership. Great value, sign up today!

I enrolled in my Cert IV with FEO after completing my Cert III and Group Fitness Certification with other providers years ago. AusActive required nine subjects to be re-completed through bridging units. I expected this to be a hurdle, although FEO made the process straightforward. Assessments are marked quickly, and any questions about content or the course are answered clearly and concisely.

The content is friendly, engaging, and well structured, with none of the clunkiness I experienced with other providers. I am also completing the Older Adult Population CEC modules and enjoying those as well.

I’ve been in the fitness industry for 25 years and recently completed the Technique Essentials for Fitness Professionals course with FEO.

I really enjoyed the course and found it practical, easy to follow and very relevant to what we do as fitness professionals. Even after many years in the industry, it was a great refresher and reminded me how important the small details are when it comes to exercise technique, movement and coaching clients properly.

I’d definitely recommend this course to both newer trainers and experienced fitness professionals. There’s always something to learn or improve on, and I found the course genuinely worthwhile.

Thanks to the team at FEO for putting together such a useful and enjoyable course.
I have been a personal/group trainer around 20 years.
I have completed my Mat Pilates course and Prenatal and Post Natal course with FEO and absolutly loved both.
For anyone training women in the fitness industry, i highly recommend expanding your knowledge around womens health and fitness, and if you want to add another level to your training, Mat Pilates, for me has been a hit!!!
I am a huge believer in continually evolving and updating your knowledge within this industry to keep clients/members safe and continually developing their fitness journey 💜🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review Jamie-Lee and a huge well done for continuing your education for your clients!

It’s all well and good to know all the different exercises BUT as a Trainer, we want to be able to program these exercises together in a fun, safe and effective way.
