What our graduates say about the course
Truly an awesome and fruitful experience learning at the Sports Massage training course July 2024 with EduFitAsia. There are lots of practical time allowing hands on practice on each other and close guidance by the educators. I much appreciated the free to ask and friendly teaching-learning approach throughout the course. Both Maz and Jeremy were positive, encouraging and made learning enjoyable for us. With all the teachings and additional references shared, it broadens my understanding and skills working as a Physiotherapist. Thank you to the organizers, educators and course mates.

Edufit takes learning to a different level in which it caters to both general public and those who are in the field. With the right amount of mix of practical and theory to help understand the context of what we are working on before actually working on the area. Both Maz and Jeremy have been very patient in teaching and really took effort in guiding the students. Generally I would say the course is fun, engaging and even if it is catered for general public those who are in the field also get to learn new things. Thank you for everything

Course met my expectations in terms of course coverage and knowledge learnt. Trainers are ever patient, helpful & knowledgeable, imparting practical knowledge & skills

Just completed the Sports Massage Therapy course with Maz and Jeremy. The trainers took us through a comprehensive and well curated 4d curriculum covering not only sports massage techniques but also soft tissue release and joint mobilisation techniques. Alot of hard work of course, but I went away with alot more. Highly recommended!

I signed up for the Sport Massage Therapy course with the intentions of picking up some massage skills for my sons as they train daily for competitive swimming. Little did I know that I completed the course with a brain filled with valuable knowledge on human anatomy and big names for muscles that took me by storm. In my opinion, there is no better place and person to learn from as Maz and Jeremy are professional educators with broad experience in this field. Their passion and eagerness to share their knowledge can be felt throughout the 4 days course. I was an absolute beginner and has zero fitness background. The small class size, compelling curriculum and immersive environment created an exceptional learning experience for me. Maz and Jeremy made sure all his students understand the fundamentals and is always there to re-demonstrate postures and make corrections. Please do not get intimated by names of different body parts at Day 1 of class, you will get it by Day 3 🤣🤣 IF THIS 50-YEAR-OLD OLD DOG CAN DO THIS, ANYONE CAN !!💪🏻 Shout out to Fit Asia for their prompt reply to all my questions!! 🙌🏻 It’s an honor to have met and learned from Maz, Jeremy and all my classmates.

Learned a lot from Sports Massage Therapy course. The educators are big on anatomy, which is crucial in our learning journey. Appreciate that they try their best to make sure all students learn as much as possible within the 4-day course. The hands-on learning works well for me!

Edufit Asia's SMT course is an excellent course to take if you are interested in rehabilitation techniques. They educate their students with a good balance of technical knowledge as well as hands on skill. I was guided by these awesome instructors, Maz and Jeremy. Besides their expertise in their skill and knowledge, they are open for questions to think through how to tackle different scenarios together with their student which made the learning process more interactive and critical for the students. Highly recommended!

Classes were well organised and structured, both instructors were really professional and very informative 🙂 They're really very generous in sharing their knowledge and experience!! I have learnt a lot from the course, such as massage techniques, soft tissue relaxation and joint mobilisation. Best part was on the way they make you think logically when it comes to the assessment of your clients. Would recommend!!

Attended the sports massage course and definitely did not disappoint! The course was very informative and both Maz and Jeremy were helpful in facilitating our learning. They went the extra mile whenever we have questions that were beyond the curriculum. Definitely recommend to give this a try!
