Fit Academy is the first step to being a fitness instructor. Coming in as a freshman in the fall, I was intimidated. I soon realized I was welcomed into a community not just of group fitness instructors but of kind, motivated people who really cared to see me succeed. They worked with me all semester to ensure I was ready to fly solo. Cheering me on every step of the process and still today. 
Brooke Harlamert
Fall 2023 Fit Academy Graduate
Fit Academy perfectly prepared me to be an instructor! Week by week progression of leading classes and mentoring helped me gain confidence in my abilities. Having peers in the program also made me more comfortable and excited for training. There truly is support from all around and I highly recommend pursuing Fit Academy.
Erin McLarney
Spring 2024 Fit Academy Graduate
Going through Fit Academy has been one of my favorite, and most rewarding decisions that I have made while at UK. The experiences and opportunities I have gotten to be a part of, the friendships I've made, the knowledge I have learned, and the personal growth through this experience have been nothing short of amazing. I am so grateful that I decided to go through this program to become a personal trainer, and I would make the same decision a million times over. If you have a strong passion for fitness and helping others, I couldn't recommend this program enough. Thank you, UK for having this opportunity!
