Can a 14 year old do a gym qualification?
Yes. Level Gym Assistant is an introduction to working in a gym built for 14 to 16 year olds, and it costs £120, paid in full at checkout. It is delivered through FOCUS Awards and covers the absolute beginning components of gym work, taught clearly and safely, with a certificate at the end. It is a first step rather than a full qualification, so it also suits anyone of any age who wants a low-cost taste of the industry before committing to a bigger course. Free return access to the content is included for life.

Your qualification asks you to run the business on IT systems. Nobody tells you which ones
The Level 4 Diploma has a unit on using IT systems to plan and manage a personal training business. It is assessed. What it does not do is tell you that the normal answer costs five subscriptions a month, or that there is one that does not.
ProgrammingWhy your sessions are good but forgettable
A session that is well programmed and still forgettable has a structure problem, not a content problem. FASTER teaches session design as a three-act story — familiar start, rising tension, resolution — because an experience is a sequence of feelings, and so is a story.
Coaching & MindsetThe barrier your client will never tell you about
Clients rarely quit because the training was too hard. They quit because of something in their week they never mentioned, and never will unless you ask properly. Level 2 makes you identify the typical barriers. The job is spotting the untypical one.
