You will be taught by Anna Falzarano, former five times British National Aerobic Champion, a highly qualified and experienced tutor/assessor who has presented and taught classes nationally and internationally.
Anna's Group Exercise classes began in 1989. Her teaching passion in freestyle soon extended to Step, LBT, Aerobics, Circuits and other more specialised areas.
Gaining experience around the world teaching in countries such as Sri Lanka, Gambia, Barbados and Italy have added to the richness of her classes today.
Back in London, more formal training at The Pilates Institute adds to her list, where Mat and Reformer Pilates qualifications broadened her teaching knowledge base.
Now in Essex, students can achieve qualifications and benefit from Anna's scope of knowledge through AF Fitness Education.
Anna, who has over 35 years experience of working in the fitness industry, is keen to share her knowledge and experience to students wishing to start a new career.

  •   I've just completed my ETM course with Anna and she was great! So knowledgeable and supportive. Full 4 days of learning, with a mix of theory and practical work. Started teaching each other from day 1 which was perfect! Anna was available to contact over the phone whenever I had any questions. Can't wait to get started and put all the hard work into practice.

  •   Anna is such an amazing instructor, I learn so much on my ETM course. She was always there for any questions no matter how big or small and she is incredibly encouraging.
    I was very nervous but she helped and coached me through, I couldn’t have done it without her.
    I cannot wait to do another course with the best trainer around!

  •   Anna was incredibly supportive throughout the course and offered her time outside of the course days which help build my confidence. She treats her learners as individuals. Would thoroughly recommend.

  •   If you are considering becoming a Pilates instructor then enrol on this course asap! Anna is the most amazing teacher, she is so supportive, knowledgeable and patient. After qualifying I felt confident to teach and know that if I ever need advice she is always there to help! So happy I chose this course to start my career in Pilates.

  •   With over 25 years experience, Anna is simply the best instructor and trainer. As a new trainee instructor I have been amazed at her experience, knowledge and passion that she conveys so well to each trainee. I have completed one course with her and I am now on my second course. What I like most is that these classes are in person (not online so many others) and as such the help and support is superb. Even after the course has ended she makes herself available to offer guidance and mentoring. If you are thinking of becoming a class instructor look no further!!

  •   I completed the Level 2 Exercise to Music course with AF fitness education, It was the step I decided to take to change careers. I had no previous experience but I felt it did not matter as Anna taught it so well. She was supportive and made my career change not scary at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and working with Anna. I am looking forward to now doing a job I really love thanks to the training from AF fitness education! Highly recommend!

  •   I decided to have a change of direction with my career. I didn’t really know what to expect but Anna soon put us at ease. The course was quite intense but so interesting and a great deal of fun too.
    I hadn’t studied for many years and so it was a huge personal challenge. I can’t tell you how amazing it felt and what a huge sense of achievement it was when I passed. I am now teaching and loving it!
    Anna kept us grounded and really supported us all the way. I would thoroughly recommend her course.

  •   I had an amazing experience! Anna is knowledgable, talented and most of all supportive. She draws on her many years of experience to deliver high quality fitness education that prepared me in the industry. Having taught other disciplines for many years I was experienced, however I was still able to learn so much from this very skilled tutor. Thank you Anna!
