About Institute of Health and Fitness

The Institute of Health & Fitness (IHF) as the education arm of McKinnon Sports Medicine has been in the forefront of sport and fitness education for more than twenty years.

Today this Registered Training Organisation is one of Victoria’s leading fitness educational institutions and has a national reputation for excellence in vocational and professional education within the fitness industry.

Lecturers are drawn from professionally qualified experts in each subject area, to provide students with the best education possible. The majority of our lecturing staff have at least five years of university education and are all recognised experts in their fields. 

Class sizes are small to maximise learning outcomes and the Institute’s facilities include a fully equipped exercise laboratory that allows students to observe first-hand the physiological changes that occur during exercise. 

The Institute of Health & Fitness provides the highest quality of training for people wishing to become qualified fitness instructors and personal trainers. Our exceptionally high client/student satisfaction levels reflect the fact that all our lecturers and staff takes pride in each student’s education.
