This school is absolutely amazing! The staff and teachers at Infofit are all so kind and down to earth. I learned so much knowledge, practical and hands on experience from the instructors. They take you through all the steps it takes to become a successful personal trainer. I just want to say thank you to all the teachers and staff for making my experience at the college so rewarding and fun. Keep up the great work Infofit and take care now! Cheers
I truly recommend for everybody.
I had such an amazing and an exceptional group too! We didn’t judge or criticize each other, and everyone left their ego at the door. It made the experience even better.
I am passionate and addicted to fitness. Seeing what Andre, the owner, has developed out of passion for science and fitness to this day with the same devotion as when he started many many years ago, inspired me much more to continue on the journey I know won’t be easy.
Him and Chris are walking encyclopedias, it’s always a plus getting an advice from them.
I recommend Infofit as a school to learn about fitness.
