Our personal training courses are focused on exactly what you need to thrive as a highly successful personal trainer. You’ll be recognised internationally as a qualified personal trainer when you graduate from one of our CIMSPA and REPS endorsed personal trainer courses, and you’ll join a community of outstanding fitness professionals dedicated to improving people’s lives through exercise, nutrition and mental resilience.

The fitness industry is forecast to grow a staggering 171% by 2028, so there’s never been a better time to start your personal training career. Obesity, diabetes and preventable conditions related to poor diet and exercise are soaring and more than ever the medical community is accepting that personal training is an important component of health care. Gyms, spas, resorts, cruise ships and medical facilities need your help. You can even offer online personal training from wherever you are to clients around the world.

Slot your study into your lifestyle, easily and comfortably. We offer three different study options – Distance, In-Person and Live-Virtual™ – to match your learning style and schedule.

The ultimate in flexibility and the perfect option for those who aren’t looking to attend classes. You’ll learn the theory and practical skills that you need to become a successful personal trainer via home study, then film the practical assessments in a professional fitness environment e.g. a health club.

Enjoy the in-venue, in-person experience: home study plus clinics that you attend at one of our premium venues nationwide. Learn in a gym environment with a tutor and other students.

The best of both worlds: home study plus live, virtual clinics in which you participate at home via Zoom with a tutor and other students. These clinics are not pre-recorded webinars or videos – they are live.

With a payment plan, you could spread the cost of your investment across affordable monthly payments. These include no deposit, interest-free options. Learn more about our payment plans.

Every step of the way, our dedicated Learner Success team are on hand to help you become the very best personal trainer. Whether it’s help with study tips or a question about a particular subject, our 5-star Success Coaches are available as and when you need them.

Our Success Coaches are devoted to your success and contactable via phone, email, our online Help Desk and face-to-face as often or as little as you need. Flexible and personal to your needs, you’ll have access to the resources, guidance and support you need to succeed.

The Learner Success team are qualified personal trainers themselves, who not only have the knowledge to help you achieve your personal trainer qualification but have real-world experience of turning that qualification into a successful career.

Designed to help you prepare for your assessments, our schedule of eClasses runs daily Monday to Friday over Zoom. The eClasses are optional and can be attended as often as you like.
