Here's why you should take a personal trainer course!

Did you know that only 2% of health club members actually use the gym?

Why? Well, people are desperate to get fit. But they lack the motivation - and the staying power.

That's why the demand for personal trainers outstrips the number of trainers. Clients know that a personal trainer will keep them at it.

Because it's home-study, you can study the personal trainer course where and when you want. That means it's really convenient.

And as a personal trainer you'll wake up every morning with joy in your heart and a spring in your step. You'll be doing what you love. And you'll be helping people to get fit. What better way could there be to earn a living?

When you look at the thousands of people crawling to work on the train or bus, you'll have a song in your heart. You'll meet a client down at your local gym, or drive a short distance to their house. They'll look up to you as a fitness guru - which is what you'll become.

Want to know the second question they'll ask? They'll ask you what you charge. That's what we call a 'buying signal'. It means they want to use your services. And you'll have to let them down gently, when you say you're fully booked up for the next three months. After which you've got a well-earned holiday to enjoy.

With the millions of fat and obese people out there, society needs more fitness trainers.  And that's your destiny in life - to make people fitter and healthier.

In the past, only athletes, celebrities and the rich hired a personal fitness trainer. But all that has changed. As people get more affluent, and more aware of their body, more people are deciding to hire a fitness trainer.

ASET Level 4 Accreditation

Our personal training course is fully accredited by ASET, and on completing it you get an award equivalent to Level 4 of the National Learning Framework (post A level/HNC/HND standard). ASET is a national Awarding Body recognised by the Department for Education and Skills and by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in Britain. It has been accrediting vocational learning for more than 50 years and now works with more than 200 providers in the UK and internationally.

By studying for our Diploma in Personal Training, you’ll give yourself that edge. You couldn’t ask for anything more from a distance learning course.

Many would-be trainers can't attend classroom courses because they have to earn a living. And many can't afford the steep prices charged by many private training organizations. That's why this distance learning course is such a great solution.

And many courses lack the kind of personal support that we provide. That's vital because we know from experience every student has different needs.

Your course pack is bursting with helpful items. You'll get the course modules, the assignments, self-assessment exercises, and lots of helpful forms and checklists that you'll need for your clients. Plus there's free software to keep you organized.

You may have noticed that the course price is set really low. To get this level of support and training, you'd pay thousands of pounds or dollars elsewhere. Why? Because we wanted to provide a low-cost course to make the job of fitness trainer more accessible. We wanted you - and everyone else who loves fitness - to be able to become a trainer.

Free Bonus Gift 1 (Free software) Personal trainer software - to keep you organized, and make your business profitable.

Free Bonus Gift 2 (Free forms that you can adapt) You'll receive a pile of forms that help you run your practice. They include a new client checklist. referral request form, a services list form that shows the range of services you offer. An invoice. Medical history form. Consent form that absolves you from liability. Training log - that records the clients progress. And since all these forms come in Word format, you can adapt them to your own needs.

Did you know that over the last six years Britain's gyms have seen a 58 per cent increase in membership, with £1.25 billion being spent in 2000 alone. But there is a huge drop-out rate. Gyms make their money from non-attenders. That means there are millions of people seeking to get fit - but failing. That's a huge opportunity for you.

PS I'll tell you a secret. As you'd expect, we spend a lot of time on the course showing you the right schedule of exercises etc. And although all these things are useful, the main thing that people learn on the course is how to find clients! That's what allows our students to set up their practice - knowing what steps to take. And it's those secrets that we unlock in the course.
