How Can You Benefit From an Online Personal Trainer Course?

Personal trainers are so much more than someone that helps a person get fit – they have a passion for fitness and motivation. Imagine being able to take something you genuinely love and use it to help others.

Many of our students go on to have fantastic careers and find that they reap the rewards of a flexible work schedule that doesn’t tie them to a desk.

Our online personal trainer courses allow you to define a better life for yourself while benefiting from a career with plenty of prospects.

Because it’s all online – over the web, you can learn at your own pace – in fact many successful personal trainers have been through online based personal training.  

 

Help Others Succeed

For some people, maintaining a healthy weight and diet is an uphill struggle that they feel they’ll never win. Our personal training course equips you with the knowledge to help others succeed through coaching and offering motivational support.

It could be a bespoke meal plan or exercise – but either way, you’ll have a real opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life.

 

Plenty of Opportunities

A successful personal trainer has plenty of opportunities for career development. The health and fitness industry continues to grow, and people are becoming more conscious of their health and wellbeing.

Whether you want the security of working at a gym/health club or would love to start a personal training business, there are plenty of opportunities to move forward in your successful career. Our courses will enable you to learn vital business skills to succeed.

 

Become an Expert

The best thing about personal training is it offers the chance for continued professional development, and you’ll never get bored. With scientists constantly revealing new findings related to health, fitness and obesity, you can become an expert in your field.

People will come to you for advice whether you work out of your own home or a gym environment. All our students benefit from each PT course and nutrition course, leading to a career as a motivational speaker or life coach.

 

Be Your Own Boss

If you love sport and physical activity, then the chances are you’re not the office type. Our online PT course allows you to get out and about, using your skills to define your future.

Many of our students enjoy a future career where they get to set their schedules. Instead of answering to a boss, you can start your own business and benefit from the flexibility and freedom self-employment brings. Once you’ve started your own personal training business, you’ll be able to offer personal training sessions at a pricing you choose – with business planning & experience, you can develop your personal training business to help it grow, employing more exercise professionals over time.

Take the first step towards your brand new career.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do the Online Personal Trainer Course without having a Level 2 certification?

Yes, our course combines the Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 PT course, giving you everything you need to qualify as a personal trainer. 

Many course providers don’t offer this combined option, but studying with us means you can save money and enjoy a comprehensive learning experience. 

Is it illegal to PT without qualifications?

It depends on your activities. For example, if you’re helping a friend or family member get in shape, you won’t need any qualifications. 

However, anyone who offers professional services or wants to gain employment in the fitness industry must have relevant qualifications. 

The Level 2 Gym Instructor certificate is an entry-level course that gives you access to gyms and health centres. A personal trainer qualification lets you work in a variety of environments. 

What are the most recognised personal trainer qualifications in the UK?

There are many courses for PTs in the UK, but choosing one with CIMSPA accreditation ensures you can demonstrate your knowledge and find employment at reputable centres. 

Our Online Personal Trainer Course is recognised by the CIMSPA (Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity). Upon completion, you can become self-employed or work for large gyms, including Virgin Active, Nuffield Health, and Pure Gym. 

Can I study from home?

Yes, you can. Learning from home gives you more flexibility, and our courses are designed to offer the same knowledge as in-person courses. You can complete the course on your own time, fitting it around work and family commitments, and enjoy the convenience of home learning. 

Do I have to pay for the course outright?

Many courses require students to save up just to afford them. We offer flexible payment plans that ensure nothing gets in the way of your career dreams. 

Whether you want to pay upfront or split the course cost into convenient monthly instalments, studying with The Fitness Circle is a flexible way to gain personal trainer qualifications. 

How much can I earn as a PT?

Your earning potential depends on where you work and at what level. According to Glassdoor, the average salary for a gym instructor is between £17K and £27K, with entry-level roles paying lower. 

Figures from Indeed show that qualified personal trainers have an average salary of £30,419, but you could earn more if you specialise or become self-employed. 

For example, some personal trainers might support professional athletes, and running your own business means higher earning potential. 

If you’re willing to put the work in, your earning potential is limitless. 

How long will the course take?

Some people complete it in a few months, while others take a year. It depends on how often you study and whether you prefer to take time with each module. 

With a dedicated team of fitness industry professionals, you’ll have ongoing support and a helping hand when navigating modules.
