Understanding the Importance of Specialised Fitness Education for Women

What Do Our Past Students Have to Say?

Testimonial Certificate III and IV

I completed cert 3 in Fitness with Women's Fitness Education. I wasn't sure whether I was making the right choice, but after talking to Dani from WFE, I decided to go ahead. The best decision I ever made! 100% flexible study option means I could juggle my study in between full time work and family life. I completed the course in 3 months and now continuing with Cert 4. I found the facilitators/educators very supportive and responsive to queries. 100% recommend it!


KELLY H.

Testimonial Certificate III and IV


I recently completed my Cert 3 in Fitness with WFE and thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience. The education platform was so easy to use and the assessors were quick to respond to any questions I had. I learnt so much and was able to step straight into a role as a group fitness instructor. I’m now moving onto my Cert 4 in fitness with WFE and I can’t wait! If you’re interested in a career in fitness, I can’t recommend WFE enough. All of the support and extra educational opportunities along the way just made it a fantastic experience.

Testimonial Certificate III and IV


Hi I’m a newbie in the fitness industry and super excited at the convenience and content of the online education - I love how phone friendly it is - anytime anyplace convenienceI just completed Training Menopausal and Peri-menopausal women .. which honestly I found a bit triggering as I am one and didn’t regret doing this course. I loved the use of the comedienne as one resource to breakdown barriers and education re pelvic floor issues in men and women. Encouraging re all age fitness with some useful targeted insights to this group.

ANNE D.

Testimonial Certificate III and IV


Happy to have completed pregnant & post-natal for Fitness Professionals. I liked the structure of the course and how the presenter made it easy to learn. Being in the industry for over 3 years & a bit confused why we were not taught about what is taught in this course in our Fitness certificates studies. Better late than never for me at least

HANNAH A.

Testimonial Certificate III and IV


I've just completed Training Menopausal a Peri-menopausal Women. I loved Michelle Wrights presenting and am going to seek out more of her courses now. Highly recommend! I didn't know much about peri-menopause and menopause before but feel so much more confident taking on this stage now. I run bootcamp style classes for pre and post natal women so wanted to upskill on our next stage of life, but also open my market up to some older women. I've been asked a lot in the past if I'd put on a class for older women, even though all of my current classes are so adaptable for any age/stage. I realised that people need to see themselves in a group to feel more like we are "their people". I now feel like I have the knowledge to put a dedicated class on the timetable and I'm excited to broaden my skills and fine tune this new class.

BRIANA H.

Testimonial Certificate III and IV

I recently finished two courses and I have started my third on the subject of women’s health training and specifically pelvic floor, understanding the menstrual cycle as it relates to training and pre and postnatal. And I have to say I have loved the content. I have gained so much already, absolutely sponging up the knowledge. Love it. And it hasn’t just helped with the content provided, but also given me the connections for further study by providing links to the top providers in the field and that has been incredibly helpful. Can’t recommend enough. It has truly opened my eyes to where we are failing women and how we can be the change to fix it. Thanks so much fitness Ed!
