Really good helpful course - only thing would be to update a lot of the information based on new science, proven results and some new supplements and nutrition findings. The information for training men & women should definitely have been introduced much much more early on so that all the workouts, information & knowledge could have been noted down in context to that, instead of giving it at the end as just one small lecture. Overall course was good, but it can be made much better - I understand it would take some time, but small changes could make this one of the best online courses for gym training!!

Loved the course, there's a lot of great information but unfortunately their FB group seems like being D3ATH!. My post been pending for more than 6 days and no one been accepting nor replying to my comment on another post. So you won't really get "extra support" that it comes with a facebook group. ‍♂️ I understand everybody got their own life to some extend

By Saeed Mohamed on 2/22/2024

felix is good instructor and knows how to teach with simple explanations and fits the beginners, loved this course, learned what i needed how start exercises without asking trainers too much & getting different answers, be yourself guidance :), thanks felix my only criticism is that there are some words cant know what he saying, even transcripts are not accurate, other than that all great

By Mohammed Yakub Baba on 11/26/2023

Dear Felix Harder, thank you very much for your thorough explanation. I truly understood every aspect that you explained, and it was extremely helpful for me. I will practice all the techniques that you have mentioned during the course and then apply them to train my clients. Once again, thank you so much for your help.

By Barzan Darwesh Hamad Salihi on 2/18/2023

I would give the course 4.5 stars but 2.5 stars for not answering my question and when u ask something your post will be pending for almost one week then after no one will answer you. Hope Felix Harder care more about approving posts also answer the. . Thanx

This is my second fitness course from Felix and I'm absolutely amazed by the amount of quality information I've got. A fantastic learning experience and a huge boost for my personal development. My gratitude goes to Felix for his teaching style and the knowledge I received. Great course indeed.

By Mike Eaton on 1/20/2023

Overall, it’s a pretty good course. It’s a good introduction to working out and manages to explain the basics without being condescending. The information was presented effectively and concisely. I’ve worked out before, but this explained a lot of things that I didn’t know, especially regarding diet and supplements. It also helped explain some of the reasons that my progress has been somewhat limited in the past (I think….time will tell). My only regret about the course is that it didn’t address where cardio exercise fits into the overall fitness picture. Maybe a short two or three minute video could be added to address that.

By Himanshu Mahajan on 10/7/2022

Amazing course for beginners. Science-based, well-researched with organised study material for students. Felix does a great job at providing a comprehensive knowledge about bodybuilding and the technicalities of maintaining a correct form during workout. If you're a beginner to bodybuilding, don't think twice, this is a perfectly tailored course that has everything you need to know about Bodybuilding.

By Gabriele Sirtl on 7/17/2021

This course ist perfectly designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced fitness enthusiasts! I am a fitness trainer myself and just wanted to fresh up my knowledge with this course. Felix puts the most important issues about bodybuilding in a nutshell - efficiently, concisely and technically correct! 100% recommandable! (said by a super critical person )

By Luis Mario Castro F on 3/3/2020

Nice Basic Course, if You are interesting in join the gym or fitness, you will have an idea about how start, and how you can go in the right direction.
