“I have done all my qualifications through Alpha and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. These include level 2 gym instructor, level 3 personal training, nutrition for physical activity, studio cycling, circuits and level 3 sports massage. The detail and passion Emma, Shane and the rest of the team… instruct and deliver these courses is second to none and they make it harder to fail the qualification than it is to pass it.” Read more “Aaron Wallace”

“In the summer of 2018 I decided that I wanted to go in a completely different life direction and Pilates was going to be it. I contacted Emma at Alpha to enquire about the VTCT Level 3 Mat-Based Pilates Course that was starting in September. Emma was so helpful and… sent me all the information regarding this course, and was really encouraging. I hadn’t studied or done anything new in 27 years, so before signing up I had a few wobbles, again Emma was there for me, encouraging me and putting my mind at ease that Alpha would be there for me every step of the way!
So on Saturday 8th September I arrived at Alpha Training to start my Anatomy & Physiology, and I honestly have never come across anyone who knows her stuff more than Emma!! After passing my Anatomy & Physiology with flying colours it was onto 6 weeks of Pilates with Michelle from Neilpilates. I was so out of my comfort zone, especially standing up in front of everyone practising routines but I went from the 1st week being petrified and by the 3rd and 4th week I was standing up in front of the class with confidence putting into practice everything I had been taught. Michelle set up a Whatsapp group for us all, and we were literally there for each other every minute of every day!
I’m not going to lie, it was hard work but was it worth it, OMG yes!!
It has changed my life in so many ways. It has given me self-confidence and self-esteem that I never thought possible. One of the most important things for me was, I have 2 teenage daughters and I wanted to show them that it is never too late to start something new and change your life and if you work hard enough you can achieve anything. My girls are so proud of me and that for me is worth every second of all the studying and hard work that goes into this course.
I now have 2 fully booked classes & have met girls that will be friends for life! You will get some of the most broken people coming through your door & sometimes you are their last resort to relieve their discomfort & pain and to be able to help them is so rewarding.
Then in May Alpha advertised their VTCT Level 3 in designing Physical Activity programmes for Antenatal & Postnatal Clients and I thought this is another exciting opportunity that I didn’t want to miss. Again Emma was at the other end of the phone, encouraging me to come along. So on 8th May I headed back to Alpha a lot less nervous than before. When I thought the training couldn’t get any better at Alpha, along came Shane Glennon. Shane is one of the most interesting and knowledgeable people I know, he made the Antenatal & Postnatal course so amazingly interesting that I could have listened for hours!
So in 6 months I achieved ALL of this, I could not be more proud of myself and proud of Alpha.” Read more “Carolyn Megaw”
