Testimonials
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.
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 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 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 💜🙏
Such a great experience! Learnt a lot about my self and the industry.
Great support when needed!

What Other Personal Trainers Are Saying
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.
