Working in the fitness industry means you need to update your skills and knowledge constantly, but our courses let you do that in your own time.
Distance learning is a convenient solution for many people, but they worry about whether they’ll get the proper support. Our course materials are designed to be easy to understand, and the majority of our students complete their studies without hassle.
When you sign up with us, you’ll have access to advice from a dedicated tutor, which helps you move towards your online qualification. We’ll equip you with the essential knowledge to succeed in the fitness sector, and we have diverse trainers, tutors and music experts.

ETM stands for exercise to music – a popular way of helping people build their fitness and lose weight. Many people enjoy exercising to music, as it motivates them and makes sessions more engaging.
An ETM instructor understands how to choose the right music for sessions and motivates participants.
You’ll need a Level 2 Gym Instructor certification or the ETM course which gives you the level 2 group training certification. These courses give you a foundational knowledge of fitness principles and how to help people reach their goals. They’re also accredited by the CIMSPA, enabling you to work in gyms and fitness centres.
Upon completion of the ETM qualification, you’ll be able to coach people to music and offer a variety of aerobics sessions.
Many people choose to advance their careers by investing in a Level 3 Personal Training qualification, which lets them coach people and provide specialist support. Becoming a personal trainer also gives you the opportunity to become self-employed.
The average salary for a fitness instructor is £22,617 (Glassdoor). However, many ETM instructors choose to be self-employed and work in a range of settings. Their rates often range from £10 to £30 hourly, depending on experience and work setting.
There are plenty of opportunities to build a successful career, from supporting elderly individuals in residential homes to going to workplaces and schools.
No, not at all. Our online course is designed to give you all the knowledge and skills needed to run ETM classes. With practical videos and case studies to guide your learning, we offer an in-depth course.
Our learners can take advantage of mock papers and a study guide. When you learn with us, you don’t have to sacrifice anything, and you can look forward to studying in your own time.
It depends on how often you study. Some learners complete the course within weeks, while others might take months. Our ETM online course is designed to fit in with your work and personal commitments, making it more accessible than attending in-person training.
The Fitness Circle takes its responsibility for providing an excellent learning experience seriously. We have a dedicated team of tutors ready to offer support and guidance.
Our tutors have experience in the fitness industry and are always available to help you with the course materials. If you need support, contact your tutor, and they’ll respond immediately.
