The Fitness Circle have 26 years’ experience in qualifying Personal Trainers and fitness professionals. Enrolling on our CIMSPA-endorsed courses means you’ll be working with a service-focused, experienced provider that continues to keep up with the latest sports science research.
Highly successful personal trainers typically share these attributes: they’re ambitious, highly motivated, and always ready to update their skills.
Our advanced personal training courses are here to help you move forward in your career and benefit from a convenient learning experience.
Many fitness professionals start with gym instructor qualifications, then progress to the Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma. However, if you want to differentiate yourself and work in a specialist role, a Level 4 qualification is a wise choice.
Whether you’re self-employed or work in gyms and health centres, you become a highly respected PT upon successful achievement of a Level 4 qualification.
We offer a range of advanced and specialist courses that come with flexible payment options.
More clients are seeking a holistic fitness journey today, which means that designing exercise programmes is no longer enough. Nutrition is a core component of weight management, and PTs with expert knowledge are more sought after.
The YMCA Level 4 Certificate in Advanced Nutrition lets you work with a variety of clients, ranging from professional athletes to individuals struggling with obesity.
You’ll learn how to create tailored dietary plans, align supplementation with nutrition, and will also have the skills to work with specialist clients.
Some people require training that takes into account their current health or medical condition. For example, the Level 3 Pre and Postnatal diploma is a specialist course that enables you to work with women in different stages of pregnancy and after they give birth.
You’ll learn how to create safe training plans that keep women active while also applying techniques to reduce discomfort and maintain mobility.
Our courses are designed for all stages of your fitness career. For example, the Personal Trainer Nutrition Specialist course combines the Level 2 Gym Instructor, Level 3 PT diploma, Level 3 and 4 Nutrition certifications, and 15 free CPD courses into one convenient learning experience.
Thinking about moving into a teaching role? Our Tutor and Assessor Course enables you to teach and assess the fitness qualification you hold.
Building a successful business isn’t just about qualifications and practical experience; it’s knowing how to market yourself effectively.
While many PTs think they need a Level 4 qualification, it’s more important to understand what potential clients are looking for and use marketing techniques to diversify your reach.
Most of our qualifications include free CPD courses on building and marketing a successful PT business. You’ll discover marketing techniques and how to position yourself as the go-to option for clients to achieve their fitness goals.
All of our courses offer flexible payment options, so you can access them regardless of your budget. Or pay in full if it’s more convenient for you.
*You can either select your payment option on the website after adding the course to checkout, or through a member of our enrolments team (0800 677 1175).
There are plenty of pathways to choose from, including becoming an advanced personal training specialist by following a route that aligns with your long-term goals.

Our Level 3 PT course is internationally recognised and highly respected among employers. The minimum entry requirement is a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification. Once you complete the Level 3 diploma, you can advance to our specialist courses.
If you’d like to focus on advanced nutrition, the Level 4 YMCA Nutrition course is an excellent investment. However, if you’re at the beginning of your journey, the Personal Trainer Nutrition Specialist course has no entry requirements, as it takes you through each qualification from entry-level to expert.
