Before the prices, the facts

How personal training actually works

Step 1

Level 2

The gym instructor qualification. Use it on its own to get gym-floor work while you qualify as a PT, or move straight through Level 2 and 3 together.

Step 2

Level 3

The personal trainer qualification. Self-paced online, taught by the people who wrote it, and it takes as long as your life needs.

Step 3

Working PT

Qualified is where the real learning starts. You learn on the job, and add courses that accelerate you past trainers who stopped at the certificate.

Why FASTER

You asked. We can actually do something about it.

The course can change because you asked

You are taught by the people who wrote it. Ask a good question and they can explain it differently, rebuild the lesson, or improve the course for everyone who follows you.

Come back when it finally clicks

Qualify, coach real people, hit a wall and return. FASTER graduates keep free lifetime access, because old lessons mean more once real clients give you new questions.
