HI, My name is Dan Clay – owner and CEO of The Dangerously Fit Academy.
Our goal is to create high quality personal trainers that are head and shoulders above the industry standard.
Our unique set of courses combine interesting online theory, real hands on practical experience, face-to-face workshops and regular short courses giving you all the tools you need to become a world class fitness professional.
The Dangerously Fit Academy takes great pride in producing the very best personal trainers in the fitness industry. Our policy is to provide education and training which goes above and beyond the CIII and CIV industry standard.
Unlike most other fitness course providers that churn out personal trainers on a huge production line, we enrol students into small groups to ensure you receive maximum support and tuition.
At The Dangerously Fit Academy you’re not just another student with a number, you can be safe in the knowledge that the first class training you will receive will be tailored to you as an individual. (Please be aware due to our smaller class sizes our courses do sell out very quickly.)
You will be given unrivalled levels of student support during your Cert 3 and 4.
Your support tutor will be introduced to you upon enrolment and will always be on hand to provide help and guidance with any aspect of your study.
Therefore, during every step of your education, your tutor will be there to guide and assist you on your journey to becoming an exceptional personal trainer.
The level of support and coaching you will receive whilst studying with us will be unmatched by any other course provider in the fitness industry.
