Over the last few months during lockdown, Ireland has seen a proliferation of people developing their health and fitness goals and also at home further learning and education, with many people undertaking courses in professional development.  Those with a penchant for a life and career in the health and fitness industry, can now kickstart or upskill their career in fitness and gain internationally recognised Personal Training and Fitness Instructor Qualifications through one of the most innovative and contemporary fitness courses in Ireland. The Aura Fitness Academy has re-commenced and you can start the course straight away or on 3rd August – meaning you can maximise your time spent in lockdown while doing eLearning!

Most fitness institutions in Ireland require students to heavily commit to time, travel and classroom learning, which can end up costing much more than what they initially pay for the course. Aura Fitness Academy courses are made up of mostly online learning which can be done in the safety and comfort of one’s own home. This will save students valuable time and money. The remainder of our courses are made up of weekend workshops to educate students on the practical aspects of becoming a fitness professional. The weekend workshops will be capped into small groups to ensure social distancing measures are implemented and will take place in SPORTSCO Leisure Centre in Dublin 4.

Aura Fitness Academy educates its students with real and relevant fitness knowledge and education; the course content that you will learn is up to date with the ever-evolving industry and latest developments and research in fitness which is delivered by tutors who have 13 years’ plus experience of working successfully in the industry.
