I started with FASTER in 2008 when John came and presented at the PT convention set up by Fitness First for all of its PTs. John talked about the body in a way that brought all the boring anatomy to life, made it practical and something I could use instantly to give my clients a better experience and set me apart from all the other trainers. I was also embarrassed that I didn't fully understand what he was talking about, even though he was speaking slowly and clearly 😄 18 years and 6 FASTER educational courses later I've just started using FASTER Social Media 365 and in 7 weeks I've got a full book and had months worth of enquiries in weeks. Just about to set up the waiting list. Never thought that could happen for me. Thanks John.
The courses are so well detailed and are updated every year to stay in line with the latest science. They range from being a Personal Trainer to improving your business operations. The investment I've made towards my education with Faster Health and Fitness is still the best decision to date.
My ongoing education and experience with FASTER has been second to none. The level of care and support combined with the access to knowledge from a broad spectrum of sources and trainers has blown other education providers out of the water. I have been training with FASTER since 2015 and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
The support you receive from them is fantastic. John helped me 1-1 throughout all of my course to make sure I get the best understanding to be the best Personal Trainer I can be! Best thing I've ever done thank you for everything!
Awesome, a couple of months in and I've already learnt SO much and feel able to apply this learning to my clients. The way I approach training is changing for the better. The trainers are great and always happy to answer questions.
I always thought myself a bit of a biomechanics expert having just finished a Masters degree on the subject. However, what I learned through FASTER really helped me apply that knowledge practically and use it first hand with clients.
John Hardy is the most giving and inspiring teacher I've ever had the pleasure of learning from.
Faster offers evidence-based training, built on the latest research, ensuring you understand the why behind the science. It has helped me go from no confidence and no clients to a full business.
Using 1-1 bespoke training, Faster has transformed my coaching, from client interviews to understanding science, researching goals, and even presenting internationally.
I now create evidence-based exercise programmes for my clients, thanks to Faster. This knowledge helped my business thrive, even through challenges that need work-life balance and flexibility.
They go above and beyond. Not only do they provide you with the knowledge you must have as a Personal Trainer but they also give you extra tools and walk with you all the way during and even after doing the course.
They continue to support, push and question me, long after finishing my level 3. The extra courses they offer, and unique 'family' approach in supporting their students have given me the confidence and tools to find my way in the fitness industry. I cannot recommend John Hardy and his team enough.
I've been involved with FASTER since 2008 and can honestly say that it was the best decision I've made in my career. The support and guidance is invaluable and has helped me in no small part to get to where I am now as a trainer, with my own gym and coaching international strength athletes.
If you've been in the industry a while and are up-skilling around movement, pain, injury rehabilitation or sports performance, FASTER will teach you to question everything you know, ask better questions, then find and evaluate research to discover your answer. No egos, no gurus, just great trainers that put their clients first and really make a difference.
A great company to study with. A Fresh approach to how you train your clients. Faster give you the ability to base all your programs on current research and science. Their courses are very in depth and ensure you really learn the subject.
Faster gives and develops your skills to Understand Your clients movement goals, asking good Relevant questions which remove bias and the tools to be able to evaluate research to support the PT experience you deliver.
Not your run of the mill kettlebells and core strengthening nonsense but courses like Injury Recovery to Performance, Rule the Tool and Stop, Turn and Accelerate all seemed to speak to what I was looking for. Possibly the single best thing I did for my personal development in the Martial Arts and Fitness Sector.
John has been an absolute wonder as a tutor, he has gone above and beyond in helping me advance my career and knowledge, and is a lovely person to have on your side! If you're looking for a course with countless hours of extra support, excellent teaching, helpful pathways and personal service, look no further!
The lovely people at faster let you come back on the courses (at no extra cost) as many times as you want or need. Each time I learn something new. I have done the Motor skills application specialist, The hub training (absolutely love the hub a game changer, so fun and versatile).
The content for every course is cutting edge as they are always written and updated following the latest scientific research, which has massively helped me move away from following gurus and develop my own training style to help each client reaching their goals tailoring every sessions according to their physical, psychological and emotional needs.
Faster is an incredible business resource and community for personal trainers, I owe my businesses' success to John and the community! He is incredibly helpful and patient, and has valuable knowledge for whatever stage your business is at. He helped me when I was starting out with 0 clients, to a fully flourishing business with a waiting list (all during a pandemic). I highly, highly recommend!
The injury course with Ollie was eye opening and really pushed the limits of what I thought I knew / thought was possible. The whole team at Faster are amazing, you're instantly welcomed in as part of the family.
I've learned not to take things for face value, not to just believe what educators are saying but how to do the research, find the answers and science backed evidence on why we do what we do.
Being able to understand how to question scientific papers means I have been able to work with all sorts of clients as I can hit the research for every new client, no matter what injuries or conditions or goals they present with. That is gold!
I've been a student with Faster for a few years now and it was the best decision I could of made for my personal development. I'm so happy with the courses available, the content and the support given! I would and I do recommend Faster to every trainer I know.
