Joseph Nakhoul - Head Physiotherapist Active Physio Gym

"I enrolled my daughter in the Cert III & IV in Fitness and found it to be a very supportive and inclusive environment. Her work experience at a local gym turned into a part time job coaching the kids and teen programs. She is currently coaching kids & women programs whilst training and competing herself. The following year I enrolled my son who also completed his Cert III & Cert IV and experienced the same supportive and enjoyable environment, gaining great practical experience. I highly recommend the courses and SSi staff."
