Health and wellbeing course guide
I’ve always had a passion for fitness, but studying at CIT has opened my eyes to how broad and impactful this industry really is. Through hands-on experience in the CIT Fit & Well centre, I’ve worked with real clients including over 55s which challenged me to adapt my approach and learn from others. It’s been incredibly rewarding to help people improve their strength, balance and confidence. The support from teachers has made the whole journey feel achievable and inspiring.
