“I was so lucky to have Tosi as my tutor for the Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training Courses. The anatomy was a little difficult for me, but having such an experienced tutor made it possible and easy for me. Her teaching is amazing, clear and understanding and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to do any of these courses.
I am now a qualified Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer and First Aider, all thanks to Tosi, and am working as a self employed trainer with Totalfit, training people from all over the world and enjoying this amazing lifestyle.”

“Studying with Why Weight was one of my best decisions ever, it gave me the confidence I needed to be self employed. Tosi would always find what’s best for you, payments, time or homework, she is amazing! Highly recommended.”
- Claudia
“I wanted to get myself qualified as a Personal Trainer for many years, but being dyslexic held me back for many years - until I met Tosi. Her effortless talent to make her students feel like they have a ‘Fitness Mother’ is priceless. Tosi is amazing, she breaks all negative thoughts you have and I trusted her to point me in the right direction. She is all about breaking barriers to self-actualisation. Amazing woman and tutor, with all support mechanisms in place.
Most of the anatomy wording was very difficult at times but Tosi had ways for me to learn and remember things, allowing me to learn and enjoy the process. I highly recommend Tosi for anyone seeking a comprehensive and uplifting fitness career. She’s a rare breed of tutor, an elite among elites.”
- Sim Sema
“When joining the course I was a bit nervous but as soon as I stepped through the doors I felt welcomed by the tutor and the other students. Teaching was done brilliantly and explained in a way where things where easily understood and stayed in my head throughout the course. I felt I had the tutor’s support and would call her at any time.
Overall, I enjoyed the course and managed to pass comfortably. I would recommend to others wanting to get into the fitness industry.”
- Merbyn
“I did my Fitness Instructor course with Tosi and she was fantastic - a very supportive, acknowledged and enthusiastic teacher! She understood my needs and also helped me with flexible payments at that time. I then got my job at the Leisure Centre as a Fitness Instructor and Yoga Teacher.
I later accredited a Yoga Teacher Training School, and Tosi attended to provide the Anatomy and Physiology Course to my students. She is a jewel of no comparison, I totally recommend any course with her. You will not only gain knowledge and up-skill but also get inspired by an unforgettable master!”
-Vivian
“Tosi is an amazing tutor who I would recommend time and time again. Her explanations are excellent and she is able to communicate in a way that is understandable for those on the course. You can tell she is super passionate about teaching and I wouldn’t go to anyone else if I needed to upskill with another course!”
- Justice
“I must admit that I have enjoyed the gym instructor course very much. I have been well supported all along by the senior gym instructor / assessor Mrs. Tosi. She has maintained professional attitude and approach to the course. I felt that I have been well motivated, which has allowed me to fully achieve my objectives and goals.
Since the very first day, I have felt to be relaxed and comfortable and I have been treated equally and fairly at all times. The method of teaching was structured and comprehensive. The theoretical and practical aspects of the course content were thorough, and specific to the level of the course. Overall, I have felt that I have been treated with respect and the instructor was very friendly and approachable at all times.”
- B. Sabino
“I started my career journey with Tosi and I'm now a level 4 instructor running my own business. I've done both the level 1 & 2 fitness instructor courses and an emergency 1st Aid course with Tosi. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is enthusiastic and encouraging. Tosi is a great tutor, she makes things easy to learn & has an infectious passion for sharing her extensive knowledge.
Tosi believed in me before I did, and that really built up my confidence. I would recommend Why Weight Courses to anyone looking for a genuine company. “
