Henselmans PT Course

Lives Up to the Hype

The Henselmans PT Course definitely lived up to my expectations. Given its reputation, I had high expectations going in, and the course delivered. Its biggest strength is the sheer amount of high-quality, evidence-based knowledge it provides. Every topic is thoroughly referenced, so if there's a subject that particularly interests you, it's easy to dive deeper into the original research and continue learning on your own. The course is also very well organized, making a large amount of information easy to follow. Another feature I really appreciated is how interactive it is. You can ask questions in every section, and they never go unanswered. There are also regular Q&A calls. The final exam was challenging, but fair. After completing it, I received extensive personalized feedback highlighting both my strengths and the areas where I could improve. I really appreciated this individual approach, as it made the certification process much more valuable. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a comprehensive, science-based education in nutrition and coaching.

I learned so much during this course!

I learned so much during this course! I'm not going to lie, sometimes it was intimidating. There's so much material and it's all very detailed and at times quite complicated, but every time I made sure to truly focus, nearly everything made perfect sense in my mind. All the material is explained very well as long as you pay attention, and seeing good evidence for every claim through the sited studies is so reassuring.

This course has been incredibly…

This course has been incredibly valuable to me. Even after passing the final exam with distinction, I still regularly return to the course materials, and each time I find something new and useful. The course has helped me feel much more confident in my own training. It gave me a clear and structured system for evaluating information and made me more critical of the constant flood of fitness advice we are exposed to every day. The knowledge I gained has also helped me feel less anxious and uncertain when encountering conflicting claims. A huge thank you to Menno and the entire team for creating such a thorough, comprehensive, and well-structured course. I am very happy to recommend it to others, and I will continue following future updates so that I can return to the course and complete it again at some point.

I genuinely got so much out of this…

I genuinely got so much out of this course. Everything is evidence-based, so you're learning methods that really work. If you're a trainer, it's an incredible resource, but don't underestimate the value for yourself either—you can apply what you learn to improve your own health and lifestyle based on science. On top of that, Menno was always available and gave thoughtful, detailed feedback whenever I had questions. Highly recommended!

Exceeded My Expectations

I don't write many reviews, but I felt compelled to because this course exceeded my expectations. I learned a tremendous amount, and just as importantly, the material reflected the current evidence rather than outdated fitness myths. One of the things that stood out most was Menno's involvement throughout the course. He was consistently available to answer questions and actively engage with our group. The course was demanding in the best way—it required real effort, but I came away a much better coach because of it. Another major strength was how extensively the content was referenced. Rather than asking students to take claims at face value, the course provided the research behind its recommendations, making it easy to dig deeper into topics that interested me. If you're looking for an evidence-based education that will genuinely improve how you think about training and program design, I highly recommend this course. It was definitely money well spent.

Willing to bet it’s the best PT course in existence

Anyone who wants true and reliable knowledge on all things nutrition and training specifically for strength and muscle growth, look no further than this course. I highly doubt there is a better one out there. The course material is primarily based from pdf documents on each topic, which is great, however I found the lectures to be a much easier and sustainable way to learn without information overload or “square eyes” from reading on a screen too long. The only critique I can think of is that I think the exam had too many questions that were designed to trick people up, e.g. the wording could often be interpreted 2 ways and it’s as if you needed to “ask the teacher” to clarify but that was not an option. I feel as though some more basic questions are fine as long as the student can demonstrate fundamental knowledge on top of more nuanced ideas. Overall though, 9.5/10

I am incredibly grateful for the Menno…

I am incredibly grateful for the Menno Henselmans method; it really forced me to think in the right direction and helped me cancel out the noise of information AMRAP! Thank you so much for being there. Completing this course felt like giving birth to a new chapter of my life.

One of the best decisions I've made

One of the best decisions I've made. I was not a PT when I signed up, just someone passionate and interested in health and fitness. This gave me everything I was hoping for and more. So much information and transparency in laying out what we know and what we are still discovering. Definitely worth the time and commitment.

Transformational Learning Experience

For me, a legitimately transformational experience and a massive investment in myself. The scope and depth of the materials covered is impressive. Menno and team have put together something remarkable here.

*insert populair brand name slogan here*

(summoning my inner Shia lebeouf) JUST DO IT! i am not kidding, this course will skyrocket your knowledge on nutrition, training and other important factors related to reaching the next level as a coach/personal trainer. it's very well paced and presented clearly. you also have physical/practical days which bring you in contact with other like-minded people. the AYCE trips thereafter can also be legendary... which they have been in my case. wanna be the best version of yourself? do the Menno Henselmans PT Course, you won't regret it!

Amazing course

My only regret...

This has been one of my greatest investments. The course gave me clarity and confidence, something I didn't get from my masters program in Nutrition. The course is very comprehensive and will equip you with all the tools to get yourself and your clients the results that they want (assuming you implement what you learn). The live calls was something I looked forward to every month. However, do know you don't have to wait for the monthly calls to get your questions answered , as they can be answered on the discussion board in a very timely manner. I gained so much more than just a PT certification. I got clarity, confidence, and a physique to show for it. Yup! I'm my own walking business card. My only regret; not doing it sooner, and not being able to go to the meetup.

Extremely well put together course

Extremely well put together course. Not much more to say. The ONLY thing that I would have loved, would have been a more thorough enhanced section. To basic theoretical (although usefull for the general population) and needs more practical applications of different compounds.

Highly Recommend. Great Experience.

Thorough, evidence-based, up-to-date and approachable strength science. There's also a lot of support from instructor feedback to cohort groups and more. Well worth it

Very comprehensive course with all the information needed to launch a carreer in fitness and personal training. Very good pacing through the year as well

Excellent

Excellent course with a strong science-based approach to personal training. The material is very detailed and helps you truly understand the fitness world. Menno is very supportive and makes sure to answer all questions and inquiries clearly. It’s a great course for anyone who wants to learn things deeply and build strong knowledge in fitness. Highly recommended.

I learned so much from this course

I learned so much from this course. The course modules were well written with links to all studies. Menno also answered every single question I had within 24h!

Same price as other fitness courses but infinitely more valuable

Same price as other fitness courses but infinitely more valuable, there’s way more in this course and it’s truly based on the latest and best research. I have a NASM certification but felt my knowledge was inadequate to give the best guidance. I was right, but I now feel way more confident with a science-backed framework to follow.
