Do you want to turn your exercise and fitness knowledge into your new career?

On our courses you’ll learn how to motivate people, how the body and its systems work, and how to build a personalised fitness programme tailored to the unique needs of your client.

We offer REPS accredited Active IQ fitness courses. REPS accreditation is what you need if you want to work as a professional fitness trainer or gym instructor.


Why do people want a personal fitness trainer?

It’s easy to join a gym. Many people start the new year with a resolution to get fit, but it’s hard to stick to it and even harder when you don’t know how to train properly.

That’s where a fitness trainer comes in.

Part trainer, part psychologist, a personal fitness trainer uses a solid understanding of how the body works, how to work different muscle groups, and motivational psychology to help people reach the fitness levels they’ve dreamed of.
