FIT College Alumni Newsletter Autumn 2025
Welcome - FIT College Alumni
Welcome to the second edition of the FIT College newsletter. I’m proud to see this platform continuing to grow as a way to stay connected, celebrate our achievements, and share valuable insights with our student and graduate community.
At FIT College, our mission remains clear: to empower our students with the skills, confidence, and support needed to launch and sustain successful careers in the fitness industry. We’re not just about qualifications – we’re about building futures. That means offering ongoing career guidance, networking opportunities, and access to industry partners who are actively looking to employ FIT College graduates.
We’re also strengthening our alumni network to help past students stay involved, share experiences, and continue learning long after graduation. Whether you’re studying on campus, online, or already working in the field, we want you to know you’re part of a supportive and active community.
Thank you for being part of the FIT College journey. We’re excited about what lies ahead and look forward to helping you take your next steps in the industry.
