10/10 would recommend anyone interested in greatly expanding & improving their practical/hands-on skills for sports massage to join the course. Instructors are very knowledgeable and skilful. Great course to undergo for sports therapists, masseurs and physiotherapists.

I joined the Basic Sports Massage course in June 2025. I really enjoyed the lessons given by Mr Faizul. He's a patient and friendly teacher who made the explanations clear and easy to understand. Special mention to our other instructors Shah and Jovian too! Highly recommended!

I took the Basic Sport Massage Course at ISA. This course is good for those who wants to know what sports massage is all about. Mr Faizul and his team are very supportive & knowledgeable. The class was interactive with easy notes to follow through. Ample time was given to practice and above all it was FUN + value added knowledge. Thank you.

In November 2024, I signed up for ISA Certified Personal Trainer Course (leading to ACE Certification) – Guided Live Edition. Having attended the weekly in-person sessions with Instructor Wan Jin and the online tutorials with Dominic and Joshua, I am really glad that I chose to take up this course with ISA! As some of us were new to the fitness industry, the frequently used concepts, terms and jargons were explained in clear terms, and we were encouraged to ask questions to clarify any doubts we had. The ACE Certified PT syllabus can be quite daunting, as there are a total of 16 chapters in the textbook to read, spread over 700 pages. Wan Jin reminded us of the importance of developing a good knowledge base, especially since we would be working with individuals and helping them achieve their fitness goals. She provided us with scenarios, case studies and assignments to help us apply the knowledge learnt, so that we would be confident in designing programs for our future clients. Dominic's and Joshua's online tutorials supplemented the weekly courses well. I could tell that ISA had put in a lot of thought and structured the entire course well to maximise student's learning time. Special thanks to ISA's support and admin team as well. Fion was especially helpful and prompt in responding to our enquiries. The learning venue was easily accessible as well. The real bonus was having awesome course mates who cheered each other on, as we completed the course together and passed our ACE PT exam! If you're looking to build a solid knowledge base before becoming a personal trainer, I would definitely recommend ISA's course! The team is highly experienced and generously imparts their knowledge with their students. That said, be prepared to put in the hours for substantial readings and interact with the instructors when you need help with the content. Keep up the good work, ISA! Thanks once again for this amazing experience!

Doing my Certified Personal Trainer course with ISA since Feb. Chose the online version and was taught by Instructor Dominic. The course content is heavier than expected, but Dominic kept us grounded and on track. Thank you (I hope I will pass the exam…)

Attended the HIIT course on 27 April 2025. The course is great. Lots of take away. The trainer Yiying is great. She looks serious but can be fun. She gave clear instructions, demonstrations and cues.

I had a course today on pregnancy and postpartum exercise with Dominic! He's super knowledgeable and made the class a blast from start to finish. I can't wait to attend more courses like this in the future under ISA. It was such a great experience!

Instructor Dominic is a top-notch professional and inspiring educator. His clear-structured delivery of the ACE academic syllabus with many hands-on real-life examples is undoubtedly impactful. In addition, he is respectfully-humble to all his students which helped to create a uniquely encouraging atmosphere for us to exchange knowledge and post questions. This enriching learning experience empowered us with much in-depth knowledge and self-confidence after each classes. 😊 Through the passionate guidance of all our ISA instructors, we are proud to progress from being clueless about basic Human Anatomy jargons to nailing the various body deviation concepts. Thank you so much! Not forgetting, the above wouldn’t be possible without strong support from the dynamic ISA internal team, who always go the extra mile to ensure all students’ enquires are attended to promptly. Their tireless round-the-clock team effort is admirable and much appreciated! With gratitude and thanks on behalf of the Jan 2025 intake, we would highly-recommend ACE-certified PT course @ ISA to new fitness enthusiasts who are keen to further-deepen their area of interests and expertises. You will be in safe hands with ISA and Instructor Dominic. To be the best, learn from the best! 🌟

Kwan is an awesome and passionate instructor with a clear vision for educating and mentoring future therapists. An insightful course that perfectly complements my sports massage training, enhancing the support I can offer to both current and future clients. I highly recommend these and other courses, as they will greatly benefit anyone interested in rehab therapy and helping others.
