As the needs and wants of clients are rapidly changing, so is the personal training industry. Clients demand more than ever, and today’s most successful personal trainers are fitness coaches, motivators, diet experts and goal-orientated specialists. To become a successful fitness industry professional, you must be able to offer a full-service solution for your clients. While a general personal training diploma offers many career benefits, the advanced certificate ensures you can progress into advanced roles. When you complete our Level 4 Personal Training certificate, you can move into management roles or specialise in a particular fitness area. There’s also the opportunity to earn more money and open your own business. So, if you want to turn your personal training or gym instructing job into a full-time career, with numerous opportunities to progress into higher roles – this is the course for you.
Our CIMSPA-approved Level 4 Personal Training course gives you the confidence and skill set to stand out from other trainers and set yourself apart as a fitness specialist. While the general personal training diploma allows students to support clients with nutrition, sport and physical activity, an advanced certification enhances your fitness career. If you’re interested in focusing on a more evidence-based and scientific approach to training your clients and facilitating behaviour change techniques, so they reach their goals, this is the course for you.
The Fitness Circle have 26 years’ experience in qualifying Personal Trainers and fitness professionals. Enrolling onto our CIMSPA endorsed course means you’ll be working with a serviced-focused, experienced provider that continue to keep up with the latest sports science research.
When you complete this personal training qualification, you’ll cover everything from a Personal Training Level 3 course in more detail. Advanced personal trainers offer a more intensive experience for clients and can work with them to understand the way their bodies respond to exercise.
As an advanced personal trainer, you’ll need to learn how to apply scientific research to your fitness regimes. Many clients with conditions, including Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or hypothyroidism, will seek a specialist to support them with their weight loss and fitness journey, as these conditions require extra support. Upon completing this module, you’ll be able to quickly research different conditions and how they impact weight management and present the information to your clients.
Technology is making it easier for people to monitor their lifestyles and change their exercise routines. Personal trainers have extensive health and wellness industry knowledge, so clients will often look to you for advice and support. This module will give you valuable techniques to motivate your clients, identify barriers to their weight loss journey and enable you to help individuals utilise technology.
Client assessments are integral to providing a bespoke service because they enable you to evaluate a client’s current health. For example, an athlete recovering from an injury will have different abilities from a middle-aged woman who hasn’t exercised for years. By analysing a client’s abilities, you can create impactive exercise and nutrition plans that suit each person’s needs.
Goal setting allows clients and personal trainers to stay on top of their goals and measure progress throughout the fitness journey. It’s also a great way to offer a more personalised service, as each client will have different objectives. If someone has an injury, their short-term goal might be to walk without support, while their long-term objective would be to return to playing sport. Similarly, people with obesity might set a short-term goal to exercise more and change their diet, while the long-term objective would be to reach a particular clothing size. This module enables you to support each client with goal setting and create a fully bespoke plan that ensures they’ll move towards the final objective and achieve the best possible outcome.
Coaching clients can often seem easy, but how you approach these sessions will define your – and your clients – success. Our course teaches you how to communicate effectively with each person and adapt to their learning style. We’ll teach you the difference between verbal, visual and kinaesthetic teaching techniques, so you can adapt your style and help each client be successful.
Your client will progress differently, and while some might see a great deal of weight loss at the beginning of their journey, others will experience slower results. As the training sessions continue, your job will be to monitor your client’s progress and use the information to modify plans to generate better results.
With a personal tutor on hand to help you learn with us, we ensure that you are not alone during your studies.
