The atmosphere was full of good vibes, energy, and support. I actually cried for two days after finishing because I missed it so much. I’ve learned so much about fitness, nutrition, gym instructing, and becoming a level 3 personal trainer.

Giving us all the support imaginable and making our learning experience so fun and enjoyable, every day his energy was infectious. My confidence grew tenfold during this experience. My entire experience with TRAINFITNESS has been first class.

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.

They are and the awarding organisations we use are YMCA Awards and Focus Awards. You’ll achieve the relevant qualification/s upon successful completion of the Practitioner Diploma™, Specialist Diploma™ or Master Diploma™ you enrolled on, the internationally recognised personal training certification for which will be issued by them.

They are indeed. When you graduate from one of our personal trainer courses, your personal trainer qualification will be recognised in countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE and Ireland, as well as various countries in Europe.

Our entry-level Practitioner Diploma™ usually takes eight to 12 weeks. If you’re keen to distinguish yourself as a personal training expert with one of our Specialist Diplomas™ or Master Diplomas™, expect a bit more time due to the breadth and depth of learning they offer.

Remember, these timelines are just guidelines. We appreciate the uniqueness of each person and understand that lifestyles, priorities and aptitudes vary. Whether you’re a self-starter seeking autonomy or thrive in a structured environment, we’ve got the right option for you.

Dive into our Distance study option for ultimate freedom and take control of your learning journey at your pace. Or, if you’re into bouncing ideas off others and having a set schedule, our In-Person or Live-Virtual™ study options are right for you.

Not only do we offer guaranteed interviews with top fitness companies once you qualify, importantly, we collaborate with you to determine the best path forward. By understanding your preferences, we can guide you to suitable opportunities and secure interviews – be they for employed positions, independent contractor agreements or a mix of both – at fitness centres that align with your career goals.

For those seeking a classroom experience with a tutor and fellow students, our In-Person study option is available in well-equipped health clubs across the country, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bath, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Bristol, Bournemouth and Leeds.

And if a flexible schedule is a priority or attending classes isn’t feasible for you, our Distance study option enables you to study entirely from home.

For example, our Master Diplomas™ feature the level 4 Advanced Personal Trainer qualification, equipping you with advanced skills and knowledge to excel in your career.
