Interested to find out more? Then here are 5 things you need to know about YOUR Academy personal trainer academy.
1. Get the qualifications you need with YOUR Academy
If you’re just getting started with working in the world of fitness then there are a few qualifications you’ll need to get before you can start up as a personal trainer.
You need to get the level 2 gym instructor certification first, and then the level 3 personal trainer qualification. Once you have both of these you’ll be able to get out there and start working as a PT.
The level 2 gym instructor course covers things like basic human anatomy and physiology, professionalism and customer care skills, and how to use (and instruct others to use) gym-based exercise equipment safely and effectively. You can start working in a gym with just this qualification but would be limited when it comes to jobs you can do.
To start in a personal trainer role you need to go on and complete the level 3 personal trainer qualification which teaches you advanced anatomy and physiology, the principles of nutrition and how to encourage positive health and fitness behaviours in clients, and how to set up and run a successful PT business.
With YOUR Academy personal training academy you can get both of these qualifications in a way that suits you and that’ll set you up for success.
2. Different ways to get started
With our personal training academy there are 3 different ways you can get the qualifications you need to start work as a trainer.
Firstly you can complete both the courses individually. This is a great option if you’re happy to take your time and take things one step at a time.
The second option is to take the YOUR Academy PT Essentials course bundle which combines both the level 2 and level 3 courses. This option will help you get on your way more quickly and will also save you £195 over buying the courses separately.
If you’re really committed to building a successful career as a personal trainer though you should consider the part-funded PT course. This option will only cost you £500, combines both courses, and gives you a huge amount of support both while you’re studying and afterwards as you start your career.
3. Incredible support every step of the way
However you decide to tackle getting qualified you’ll get so much support from the team at YOUR Academy. While you’re free to structure your learning in a way that suits you, taking from 2 months up to a year to complete the course, you won’t be left to just get on with everything alone.
You’ll be helped along the way by mentors who’ll give you advice based on years of experience. When you first get started you’ll have a live course induction with your mentor and after that you’ll be able to have regular catch up calls with them to keep track of your progress, prepare for upcoming assessments, and get answers to any questions you might have.
Possibly best of all though is the fact that the support doesn’t stop when your course does. Which leads us on to point number 4!
4. Ongoing Support from YOUR Personal Training
YOUR Academy is partnered with YOUR Personal Training, so once you’ve completed your initial PT qualifications with our personal training academy you can still get a huge amount of ongoing support as you start your career.
When you qualify with YOUR Academy you’ll be offered a job placement opportunity to work as a self-employed personal trainer with YOUR Personal Training. And once you start working as a YOUR PT trainer you’ll be able access help from us with everything from marketing and admin to getting and retaining clients.
5. Keep on learning
Once you’ve been working as a PT for a bit you might start to think about adding a few extra strings to your bow, to help you stand out from the competition and enable you to offer more specialised services to your clients. And this is something you can do with the YOUR Academy personal trainer academy too.
