A career in the fitness industry offers plenty of opportunities to pursue your passion and make a lasting difference. It’s also highly accessible, as taking an entry-level certificate means you won’t require any previous qualifications.

However, choosing the right course and training provider requires careful thought. The Fitness Circle specialises in providing online courses for aspiring fitness professionals.

Throughout the years, we’ve helped hundreds of students become qualified experts and look forward to a range of progression options.

In this post, you’ll learn why students choose us.

Our Qualifications are Industry-Recognised

While many online training providers offer fitness courses, ours are recognised by gyms and health centres nationally. Each is CIMSPA-approved, ensuring you’ll meet professional standards upon qualification.

Whether you choose the Level 2 Gym Instructor course, want to progress your career with a Level 3 Personal Training Diploma, or choose the Level 2 Group Training certificate, you can guarantee that potential employers and clients will recognise you as a trustworthy professional.

Plus, you’ll learn the skills required to work with clients and build a successful career.

Flexible Learning

You want to enjoy a new career and follow your passions, but life keeps getting in the way. Whether you have a job or family commitments, finding the time to study in a classroom or gym-based environment can be challenging.

But that’s where our online courses become beneficial.

Instead of fitting your life around learning, these courses fit around your schedule. You can study in the evenings or when you have spare time, enjoying a full online learning experience.

Expert Tutors and Ongoing Support

A common misconception about online courses is that you’re handling everything alone. This isn’t true when you study with us. Each course comes with expert learning materials and a team of dedicated tutors with experience in the fitness industry.

Whether you need help with a module or are struggling to understand a fitness principle, your tutor is always around to offer support and advice.

Many of our students comment on the support they receive throughout their learning journey, and it’s one of the things we pride ourselves on.

Practical, Real-World Skills

Studying and understanding fitness principles is one thing. Knowing how to apply them in real-world environments is another. While our courses are 100% online, we’ve designed the materials to ensure a full learning experience.

Each course comes with video lessons, case studies, and premium materials that guide your journey. You’ll learn vital skills that translate to the course you choose, including:

• Creating personalised exercise programmes
• Core anatomy and physiology principles
• Coaching clients
• Leading group fitness sessions
• Providing basic nutrition guidance
• Promoting health and safety in group fitness classes and as a PT

We Have a Proven Track Record

As one of the UK’s longest-running fitness training providers, we have over 25 years of experience. The Fitness Circle was founded in 1996, and since then, we’ve become a go-to resource for aspiring fitness professionals.

Our tutors have helped over 2,500 students begin their fitness career, progress from being gym instructors to personal trainers, and become specialist professionals.

Flexible Payment Options

We firmly believe that everyone should be able to access a rewarding career in the fitness industry. All training is an investment, but our students can benefit from convenient payment plans for all of our courses.

You can choose to pay upfront or split the cost into interest-free monthly instalments.

Ongoing Training Options

When you gain a fitness qualification, you might want to enhance your career further down the line. For example, Level 2 Gym Instructors often decide to become PTs with more experience, but there are also plenty of specialist pathways available.

These include:

• Level 3 Pre and Postnatal Personal Training
• Circuit Training
• Exercise to Music
• Children’s Fitness Instructor

When you have the right support, you can design your perfect career. And that’s exactly what our experts offer.

How to Get Started

Ready to study with us? The first step is to decide which pathway is right for you. If you’re new to the industry and want to become a personal trainer, there are two viable options:

1. Begin with the Level 2 Gym Instructor certificate, gain some experience, then move on to the Level 3 PT diploma.
2. Take advantage of our Online Personal Training Diploma, which combines both the Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 PT courses into one convenient learning experience.

Group Training Course

If you’re more interested in group training, our Level 2 Group Exercise course is the best place to start.

It covers everything you need to know about working with groups, including understanding the different training formats, learning how to tailor each session to the participants, and promoting health and safety.

Once you complete the course, you can progress to specialist qualifications.
