"The IAK Personal Training Program is by far the best personal training education in Iceland today. The teachers are outstanding and the courses ar well organised which enables the students to use the knowledge straight in the work field. We will, without a doubt, look for IAK Personal Trainers to work with us."

"As a professional handball player I feel the impact a systamatic strength and state training has on my performance in the game. To be successful in sport it is not enought to only have talent in the specific sport but you also need strength, speed, flexibility and balance. These factors need to be trained especially and systamatically. The ideology and analytical techniques which are taught in IAK are exceptionally good and will for sure be useful to me the next years. I can not wait to start the IAK Sport Training Program after finishing IAK Personal Training Program."
Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson, professional handball player
