Our new and exciting blended style of learning is a combination of both our Online Fitness web portal and Face to Face tutorials, enabling courses to be active and engaging with on and offline learning experiences. The aim is to encourage students to be active learners by using online technologies to enable or support learning activities that continue outside of the lecture hall, classroom or lab, and encourage students to arrive in class well prepared.

Online Fitness has evolved from the history of fitness education in Australia, but now leads the way in creating new pathways to a better future, through innovation, passion and the right intention from the beginning.
