What is the FIT ELite FItness package

The FIT Elite Package is FIT College's flagship personal training course coupled with a speciality.

As a FIT College student, you can choose to further your study in strength and conditioning, which can open doors to working with sporting clubs and athletes. Or disability support, which can help supplement your existing personal training business.
