 1 Why Choose Us

Finding the proper program design and periodisation coaching course to

launch or optimise your career as a PT, strength coach or physical therapist can
be tricky…

Most programming courses try to ‘’fast-track’’ your qualification, leaving you

overwhelmed and unsure how to take your new skills and make a living as a
personal trainer.

Well, Clean Health solves that

Founded in 2008 by expert personal trainer, strength coach 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.
