OUR HISTORY

From fitness fanatics to industry leaders

It was in 1979 that Australia’s first national fitness training provider was conceived. The idea came when six fitness enthusiasts joined forces with a united goal to improve the quality of training programs and bring their full collective passions to the industry.

Since then, AIF has helped countless students get started in exciting new careers and become the gold standard of fitness and massage qualifications in Australia.
