Founded by Fitness Professionals, for Fitness Professionals

Lionel University has been a life-changing experience. I recommend it to all my co-workers, friends, and family members who have a passion for fitness and want to continue their educational journey. 

I currently serve on active duty in the United States Marine Corps. I originally began my journey with Lionel U pursuing the Master Trainer certificate. Upon completion, I decided to continue my education and earned my associates in exercise science through Lionel University. Now I instruct at the Force Fitness Readiness Center where we train new Force Fitness Instructors for the Marine Corps. I couldn’t have done it without Lionel University.

My experience with Lionel University has been life changing in the best way. Not only have I learned so many new skills, but my resume is quite long due to all of the Special Certifications I have received. I was recently contacted by another “women-only” trainer with her own business who was looking to expand. She almost immediately offered me a job as her first hire, almost sight-unseen! Now, I work at two gyms and can offer training to different types of populations. I have no doubt my educational qualifications had something to do with the ease of which I have been able to stay successful in this rapidly emerging profession. 

The education and experience at Lionel University has been absolutely amazing. I am proud to have earned my Associate degree and Master Trainer certificate and am excited to continue in the Bachelor's degree program. I can't wait to apply what I have learned to help my clients to lead active, healthy and rewarding lives.

Lionel University helped me add tools to my toolbox. I now have the knowledge and education to succeed and can implement my training in my client sessions. It is amazing to see how my clients have benefited from my education.

When I started at Lionel University I thought I was going to just get my personal training certification. The courses opened my eyes and showed me how much the field of exercise science has to offer and how much more there was for me to learn. As I continue through the curriculum I find myself get equipped with the tools I need to make me successful in this field.

A week after graduation I was hired at a gym. I attribute this to the knowledgeable staff and outstanding curriculum at Lionel University. While attending classes I got the support I needed from counselors and teachers and I’ve now earned multiple certifications as well as the Master Trainer Certificate and an Associate’s degree. The education I received gave me the ability to formulate programs that produce positive changes in a wide variety of clients lives through fitness.

My experience with Lionel University has been amazing. This journey has helped to build my brand more and more. Overall this is the best place to get the knowledge and help you need to get to the next level of training. 

I'm so grateful to Lionel U for my Associate Degree in Exercise Science. I am the Gym Manager, Strength & Conditioning Coach and CrossFit Instructor at Derby City MMA & Derby City Barbell in Louisville, Kentucky. I transitioned very easily into the coaching role because Lionel U prepared me so well. I used to dread getting up and going to my boring office job which I did for 19 years, now I wake up and can't wait to get to the gym. It's not like a job, it’s fun and I love it. Thank you Lionel University for helping me turn my professional career into something I love.

Lionel University gave me the practical knowledge I need both inside and outside of the gym. My education gave me the ability to earn my college degree, obtain multiple fitness certifications, and work in the industry all at the same time! Lionel University is the place to be for any future fitness professional.

I am beyond thrilled to have been awarded the Fredrick C. Hatfield Scholarship! Being a fitness model/influencer, I have made it my goal to spread my passion for fitness with others in hopes that it can help the lives of many in the ways that it did mine. Living with Anxiety was a constant battle growing up until I made the choice to start going to the gym. In no time, the gym became my therapy. I have improved both mentally and physically in ways that I never thought possible. I am determined to use my past experiences as well as my new-found education as a guide to helping those who have the drive to improve their overall wellbeing.
