HPC Graduates continue to thrive in the Fitness Industry as leading Fitness Professionals with tremendous success. Here is yet another story from two of our recent graduates who recently featured in the Brisbane Courier Mail.
“Dear GT, Ed & the HPC Crew,

Thanks again for such a great course that pepared us so well for the PT World.
Best wishes,
Kelleigh Wallace & Andrew Saunderson”

- Is the provider a Nationally Registered Training Organisation?
If they are not, then don’t go near them. HPC is and always has been nationally recognised. (RTO)
- Does the provider have a fully equipped gym?
Last time we checked, we could only find a handful of providers on the entire east coast of Australia that have a gym at all, let alone a fully equipped gym. Personal Training is a very practical and hands on career, so you would think that the best place to learn is in a gym right? Well HPC’s training centre is over 1200 square metres that is used by the students, and only the students. Providers that don’t have a gym simply send you to a commercial gym to do your gym floor time there, but guess what…… You aren’t qualified yet, so you aren’t covered under their insurance, thus unable to actually train someone in the gym. All you can do is observe, or train yourself. The problem with this is what’s to say that the PT that you are observing has good form? Or are they a fully qualified instructor even (Certificate IV in training and Assessment). You can easily pick up this PT’s bad habits, and you definitely don’t want bad habits when becoming a PT. Unfortunately, this is something we see everyday industry.
- Is your course online or via correspondence?
Sure, online options are cheaper overall, but nobody tells you that online qualifications aren’t looked upon highly within the Fitness industry. How are you going to do your practical component of a course online? Online courses can often lack good support from the provider, and most students will struggle and lose motivation. We guarantee that you will learn twenty times as much in a class environment, and have a lot of fun while doing it. You need to ask yourself this; How are you going to learn boxing online? How are you going to learn group fitness online? How are you going to learn different training techniques online? How are you going to learn good form online?

Can you imagine getting on a flight to Sydney and the Captain says on the microphone “Welcome passengers, this is my first flight, as I attained my qualifications online!”
You would be straight off that plane! Because flying a plane is practical and it requires hands on training (in actually flying the plane) and it is the same in fitness. How are you going to work in a gym if you don’t learn in a gym. Thus the reason why HPC trained PT’s are regarded as the best in the business.
We actually retrain a lot of students who have already done an online course, but need to be retrained as they don’t have the knowledge, confidence or practical experience to work successfully in the industry. We find it ridiculous how many people come to HPC to be retrained, in fact last year alone we retrained 86 people who had previously tried a correspondence or on line course! So the costs may have been cheaper initially, but they have paid a lot more in the long run. You need to look at this as an investment in your future, not an expense. You will easily make that money back tenfold within your first year if you are equipped with the correct skills and necessary knowledge. So it makes sense to do your research about the courses and providers that you are interested in, and make sure you make an informed decision. This is an investment in your future career, so make sure you make the right choice and check out HPC.
HPC has multiple success stories from our students, but we thought we would share this one with you. Its about Kylie Walker who has just opened her own 24/7 gym.
“It was back in Aug 2009 that I decided to become a Personal Trainer and after researching the Industry I proceeded with HPC to obtain my Cert III and IV in Fitness. I remember one week into the course I was amazed at the amount of knowledge and the professionalism of HPC it was then I realised I had made the right decision with choosing HPC to obtain my formal qualification.
There is an endless list of reasons as to why I strongly believe that HPC is by far the leader in the industry however I will only mention a few. Firstly any information that is passed on to the students is always backed by science which is of upmost importance; the course is both theory and practical based and of course the facility that you have access to throughout the duration of your course is first class state of the art equipment.
On completion of my course I was honoured to be offered a position at HPC as an Elite HPC trainer, I proceeded then to build my PT business based on the knowledge I gained from HPC and within 6 months I had profitable PT business that offered me financial reward and also the flexibility of running my own business.
After 2 years of success I decided it was time to branch out and this is when I looked into the option of owning my own 24hr Fitness Centre. I looked at many options however they didn’t seem to meet my needs. It was then I decided to develop my own concept based on my needs and knowledge gained over the years as a PT.
It was on Saturday the 17th March 2012 that we opened our first 24hr Fitness Centre in the Burleigh Home space centre Burleigh Waters. We have only been open a week and so far we are having a great response. I believe the positive response has been due to the both the knowledge and experience I gained through HPC and the assistance from my business mentor.
Without these two elements we wouldn’t have been able to offer a facility of such high standards.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank GT and the team at HPC for all their help over the past 2 ½ years. I will miss the facility but I’m only down the road so I will surely pop in from time to time.’
Regards
Kylie Walker
