Poor Customer Service & Technical Issues

I recently completed an Exercise to Music course with TrainFitness as a remote learner, and unfortunately, my experience was largely negative due to poor customer service and unresolved technical problems.

The main issue I encountered was with their learner support, specifically a team member named Radek. Every single time I called for assistance, I was connected to him only. I found his manner to be consistently rude, blunt, dismissive, and unsympathetic. As someone who is head of customer relations as a job title myself, I was genuinely shocked by how I was spoken to – it’s simply not acceptable.

I also experienced significant problems with their app, which at one point completely logged me out and displayed a message saying I had no courses assigned. This happened outside of office hours, during a time I had specifically set aside (5 hours) to rehearse. I sent screen recordings showing the issue via email to their complaints department, but the only response I received was a one-week extension, which was not sufficient considering my demanding 50-hour work week. I was also told there had been no system issues that evening and TrainFitness began to blame this on signal issues however the attempts to log in were done on a mobile phone and laptop with Wifi and without, meanwhile still showing the message 'you have no courses available' – despite the clear video evidence I had submitted.

To make matters worse, the same technical issue occurred again during my final practical video assessment – the app logged me out mid-routine, and I had to complete my final track in silence, without access to their music. While it didn’t affect my mark, it added a huge amount of unnecessary stress, and once again, no apology was offered.

From my experience and reading other reviews, TrainFitness seems far more interested in deflecting responsibility than genuinely supporting learners. This review is here to share my personal experience and hopefully provide some insight for anyone considering their courses.

Reply from TRAINFITNESS

Congratulations on completing your Exercise to Music course, Chloe. We’re pleased you achieved your qualification and grateful for the positive comments you shared with us previously, including:

· “I cannot thank the tutor enough for the support given.”

· “I do appreciate the efforts made to arrange support outside of normal working hours.”

· “I am grateful for the additional time granted as a goodwill gesture.”

You contacted us requesting “extra support” on 3rd March—just three days before your course deadline. We initially offered a call within our standard hours but you advised that you worked from 7.30am to 6pm and were unavailable. When we suggested your lunch break, you said you “only have half an hour” and requested a call outside our office hours.

To support you, we confirmed in writing that a tutor would call you after 6pm that same evening, in line with your statement that you were available from that time onward. When the tutor called at approximately 6:15pm, you were unavailable, stating that you were dining at a restaurant. The following evening, a tutor contacted you again at approx. 7.30pm but once more you were unavailable. Despite this, we arranged another tutor call the following day — your final day on the course — followed by a further call that evening at 7pm.

You later acknowledged that you “take responsibility for [your] time management” and would “ensure that [you] manage [your] time effectively” in future.

In your review, you target a particular team member, stating, “Every single time I called for assistance, I was connected to him only.” This statement is also inaccurate: you spoke with four team members. The staff member you described as “consistently rude, blunt, dismissive and unsympathetic” was in fact the same person who personally arranged your after-hours tutor support and made repeated efforts to accommodate your circumstances. Your characterisations do not align with the support you received, which included flexible scheduling, repeated contact attempts and after-hours assistance—all of which demonstrate empathy, flexibility and a clear commitment to helping you complete your course.

Regarding the technical issue you mentioned, our system logs confirmed there were no platform outages at that time. While we understand how frustrating it can be to experience access difficulties, connectivity issues can arise with any device due to factors like local network disruptions, device settings, or internet provider errors. When faults do occur on our side, we take full responsibility. For instance, a recent Android operating system update caused a widely reported compatibility issue that affected many apps, including certain features of ours. We identified the problem quickly and released an update to restore full functionality. In your case, the issue was not caused by our system, but we still extended your course by a full week—far exceeding the five hours of study you said were impacted. This was offered as another goodwill gesture to support your completion of the course.

You also stated that the same technical issue disrupted your final assessment submission; however, your final practical was successfully marked and your result was unaffected. While we appreciate how disruptive technical problems can feel, we found no fault in our system.

Accusations of deflecting responsibility are simply not supported by the facts. We investigated your concerns thoroughly — reviewing system data, communications and call recordings, and arranging additional tutor support and extended course access. We responded fully and transparently, offering assistance even when the facts showed no failure on our part. At the time, you expressed appreciation for the time we took to investigate and the explanation we provided.

We remain proud of the support provided and stand by the professionalism of our team. We’re pleased you were able to complete your course successfully and wish you well in your fitness career.

Amazing experience - Life changing!

Recently finished the Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification, and the entire experience was incredible. The course is very well structured and really easy to follow, especially if you have a tutor like I had… Ben. As someone whose confidence has been rock bottom for some time, Ben made me feel welcome and looked after us all as though we were a big family. Giving us all the support imaginable and making our learning experience so fun and enjoyable, every day his energy was infectious. My confidence grew tenfold during this experience, and felt like I learned even more than what I was supposed to because of Ben’s wisdom. The assessor’s were all lovely too and full of knowledge to help you grow. My entire experience with Train Fitness has been first class and if you’re thinking of taking the jump into this industry this company is the one for you, oozing class from top to bottom… a perfect starting point to set you up for a long successful career!

Level 2 and Level 3 Course

I have just completed the 11 days practical and assesment for the level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer Course. The instructor was fantastic in his knowledge, presentation, structure and care in making sure that everyone knew the content etc.

Excellent support

Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the support during my course after choosing the distance study course - the Tutors Rob and Ben were really helpful with guiding me through my assessments and they made it very easy for me with their eClasses. Now I'm working in my local Nuffield Health!

Amazing Experience and Forever Grateful

Amazing experience completing my Personal Training qualifications starting from scratch with the Level 2 onto the Level 3 and finally a couple of Level 4 qualifications through the Strength & Conditioning Master diploma.
Due to work commitments, I did it via distance study.
The tutors are a credit to the organisation with how well and how much they supported me through the journey.
Forever grateful

10/10 experience!

I am so glad I chose TRAINFITNESS as my course provider. From the initial enquiry about the course, to learning face to face, I have felt supported, understood and encouraged by all members of staff. Ben was an incredible teacher who made the experience what it was. As a team, they are efficient, informative and super-friendly. I learnt so much and feel armed with confidence and excitement approaching the industry. You feel like your own individual learning with them, they really look after you. The work itself is detailed and specific, so there is graft to be put in, which is what is exactly needed going into the industry.

Exceptional Support and Quality Training – Highly Recommend

I completed my Master Diploma with TRAINFITNESS as a distant learner, and I’ve always been really happy with the quality of their service. The course was well-structured, and the support I received throughout was excellent.
I initially studied remotely, but I decided to do a few of my assessments in person, and I’m so glad I did. The tutors and assessors were amazing—Ben, Richard, Katie, Paul, and Rob were all incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging. It made such a difference to have that hands-on experience, and it actually made me even more excited to continue expanding my knowledge.
Because of the great experience I had, I went on to do additional qualifications with TRAINFITNESS beyond the Master Diploma. They’ve been supportive every step of the way, whether I was studying from a distance or attending assessments in person.
I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality fitness education😊👌🏻

Huge fan of TrainFitness

After consulting with a number of different companies, I settled on using TrainFitness to complete my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training course. They offered incredible flexibility, online and in-person support that made it impossible to choose anyone else. The online portal was really easy to use and the team was always on hand to answer my questions. I particularly enjoy the in-person element with our trainer Ben. He was a fountain of knowledge, but also incredibly kind, generous and empathetic in developing our skills and confidence. I would absolutely recommend TrainFitness for anyone looking to get into this industry.

TrainFitness offer all you need for a future in the fitness industry

Having spoken to a lot of fitness training providers I chose train fitness to complete my Level 2 gym instructor and level 3 personal trainer courses. They offer many options in terms of how you can complete the course and this provides so much flexibility and means the courses truly are accessible to all. The online study portal and theory content is first class and very easy to use. The face to face training is fantastic, our trainer Ben put me at ease as soon as I met him and was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional I learnt loads and had a great time on the courses. I would 100% recommend TrainFitness for anyone considering this career path.

Highly recommend, incredible experience!

My experience with TRAINFITNESS has been super positive. I have learnt so much and felt guided and supported throughout. The online course work is very detailed and interesting and my 2 weeks in-person experience for the Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer qualification has just been so much fun, although there has been a lot of information and things to get done, my tutor Ben made it enjoyable, engaging and something I couldn’t wait to wake up for each day. I highly highly recommend TRAINFITNESS to anyone!

Exceeded expectations

No regrets choosing this training provider. The tutors and assessors are experienced and knowledgeable but most importantly, are exceptionally skilled in translating this to trainees in an inclusive and engaging way. Training material and hands on practical experience is very thorough. The in-person courses attract a lovely, diverse bunch. I’ve already booked my next course!

Had the time of my life

I have had the time of my life with TrainFitness these last few months. They have been incredibly supportive in my learning, and every member of staff I've come across - whether in-person, over phone or email have been super friendly, supportive and caring. For anyone looking to get expert knowledge in a warm environment, and want to be pushed, challenged and celebrated, this is the course for you. I am now armed with the confidence, technical know-how and skills needed to get out there and start helping others. Could not recommend highly enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Amazing company! Great tutors, amazing facilities and amazing course content. Did a distance study Master Personal Trainer course and felt thoroughly supported despite being a remote student.
The choice of courses are brilliant and so current. Specialising to support not just pregnant women or young mothers but also women going through menopause was so refreshing and enriching for me. Excited for this journey ahead.
