Level 3 personal trainer course

With an industry worth over £5bn and more than 7,000 gyms currently operating in the UK, there has never been a better time to become a personal trainer.

Personal trainers use their expertise on a daily basis to get inside the heads of their clients, design training programmes that deliver results, and to support life-improving health, fitness and nutrition changes to their clients’ lives. Personal training is a results business and quite often, the results people achieve can be remarkable. If you feel that you have what it takes to help people to take control of their health, fitness and wellbeing, then maybe it’s time for you to step up and join the ranks?

Our programmes have been expertly designed with your continued success in mind. Our level 3 personal trainer course goes beyond the basics and our learning content, materials and support exceeds anything else on the market.
