 1 Why Choose Us

Finding the proper strength and conditioning course to launch or optimise

your career as a PT, strength coach or allied health professional can be tricky…

Most strength and conditioning courses try to ‘’fast-track’’ your qualification,

leaving you overwhelmed and unsure how to take your new skills and make
a living as a PT or strength coach.

Well, Clean Health solves that

Founded in 2008 by expert personal trainer, nutritionist and our CEO, Daine
McDonald, we’re the trusted source of education for personal trainers and
nutritionists worldwide.

We began as a PT organisation focused on getting epic results using the

science of lifestyle, nutrition, and training and in 2012, we opened our first of
several gyms that did over 250,000 coaching sessions over their lifespan.

During that time, we started educating PTs, and now, as an accredited fitness
institute, we’ve certified over 60,000 personal trainers and nutritionists in
over 40 countries, including industry experts such as Mark Carroll and Lauren
Simpson.

you are).

So, what are you waiting for?

Stand on the Shoulders of Giants.
