Get qualified
where the work is.
A full education arm inside a working gym — 7 accredited courses across nutrition, coaching and sports therapy, taught on the floor rather than in a classroom with no kit. Accredited by Active IQ and taught and assessed by Tony and Leanne, both still coaching every week.
7 real qualifications,
taught on the floor.
From nutrition to coaching to sports therapy — proper industry qualifications, the kind that let you work in any gym in the country, taught where sessions actually run. Study one, or build a full CV across all three.
Award in Understanding Nutrition, Performance and Healthy Eating
Where nutrition starts — how food actually fuels training and recovery, what a balanced diet looks like in practice, and how to coach the basics of eating for results without the fad-diet nonsense.
Award in Nutrition for Exercise and Health
Deeper into nutritional coaching: telling credible information from noise, the nutrients that drive health and performance, fuelling and recovery, working out energy needs, and analysing what a client actually eats so your advice fits their life.
Certificate in Nutrition Coaching
The advanced qualification — individualised, evidence-based nutrition coaching. Digestion and how the body uses nutrients, adapting for different populations, consultation and behaviour-change psychology, and reading the research rather than the headlines.
Certificate in Gym Instructing
The industry entry qualification — the one that gets you on a gym floor. Plan, deliver and supervise safe, effective sessions on a gym floor: anatomy and physiology that actually applies, how to induct someone properly, and how to coach the kit (free weights especially) with confidence.
Diploma in Personal Training
The personal trainer qualification — the one that lets you work unsupervised, employed or self-employed. Advanced anatomy and physiology, lifestyle and medical factors, consultation and behaviour-change conversations, programming for different clients, plus the business side of running your own PT.
Certificate in Strength and Conditioning
The advanced coaching qualification, and the one that steps up to athletes. Where the S&C coach sits in an athlete's support team, performance needs analysis and testing, then planning, delivering and reviewing periodised programmes against real performance goals.
Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy
Soft-tissue and sports-massage therapy, taught and assessed hands-on. Anatomy, assessment and treatment of dysfunctional tissue, and running a treatment properly start to finish. Scope is dysfunctional tissue — acute injuries and diagnosed conditions stay with a physio or GP.
Everything runs directly through Active IQ — they issue the certificates themselves, so what you finish with is a nationally recognised qualification, not an in-house certificate.
Leanne is a registered Active IQ lecturer, assessor and verifier — she delivers the qualifications and signs them off.
Tony teaches across every module: a degree in sports science, a teaching qualification, and his own assessor and verifier awards — registered with Active IQ.
Taught by someone who does this at the top level. Alongside FitBox, Tony is Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for Everton Football College's international teams — the same strength and conditioning work that goes into elite student athletes is what runs on the gym floor here.
