Pro-Fitness Academy

Welcome to Pro-Fitness Academy, where we offer a range of accredited academic and vocational courses.

The Pro-Fitness Academy Team

Pro-Fitness Academy was launched in 2018 by professional Master Trainer Andy Smith. As a recruiter of Personal Trainers for an internationally renowned gym he recognised an absolute need for raising applicant standards.

Quality Personal Trainers do far more than provide fitness exercises. They inspire, motivate, listen, guide and support their clients to reach goals that can truly transform lives.

Andy chose to partner up with world renowned vocational and technical qualifications provider VTCT which has more than 2,000 approved centres  worldwide and been awarding since 1962.

As an officially approved centre Pro-Fitness Academy benefits from VTCT’s acquisition of education technology specialists Digital Assess providing technology that can digitally capture and assess learners online amongst other innovations.
