How to Become a Personal Trainer?

Where to start and where to go next in your PT career?

Personal Training Journey

Before your start. Are you a good fit for this career?

Many providers would be happy to enrol any student with no questions asked. We build students to succeed but fundamentally there should be elements there for use to get the right result which is a return on your investment from our courses.

  1. The will to put in the work. Being enthusiastic about fitness is key but in order to motivate others to reach their goals you got to put in the work first. 
  2. Ability to communicate and listen. It is a people business.
  3. Time management skills and organisation. You don’t need to be a pro but have basic skills or cornerstones of running a successful PT business.
  4. IT skills. For starters you need this to access and navigate our online course material. 

Know the industry before stepping in it

The fitness industry is vast and there are many different paths to take. Levels 2 & 3 are essential stepping stones for your journey into the industry. Where you start is important because it can set you up on a path to a rewarding career. Many upskill and become specialists commanding high incomes for themselves.

All you need is to put aside the time to invest in the course in order to start training people as a Personal Trainer you need Level 3 Personal Training Qualification. Which is why we offer our combo course.

5/5

I was looking for a training provider that could help me take my fitness knowledge and teaching to the next level. So I could better help my clients and offer extra value to separate myself from other PTs in my area. I found the courses very in-depth and well-structured. I would recommend this to any personal trainer who is interested in giving a better service and results for their clients.
