We are now taking bookings for the course which starts on Saturday 13th April 2024 and ends on 15th June. It is taught on 10 Saturdays between 10am and 2.30pm In addition to the Saturdays sessions, students will be expected to do homework, which is available on our special online hub.

All study material will be provided to help you prepare for the practical training. In addition, you will be required to do home study, with all materials provided via our online training hub.

Our aim in teaching you on this course is to prepare you by the end, to be as ready, prepared and confident to take your place in the industry as a personal trainer as it is possible to be. This could be working as an employee with another organisation, as a self-employed practitioner setting up on your own or even as part of our team at Optimum Physique. To do this, we have a number of added-value extras that most other companies are unable to provide. Unlike many training providers, including further education colleges, Optimum Physique is an organisation that provides personal training and sports massage to actual clients, delivering over 400 sessions per month. So you will be trained by a company at the heart of the industry, who are offering personal training and therapies to real clients. Because we are part of the wellness industry we are also able to offer opportunities for work-experience and/or shadowing our personal trainers in order to extend the range of your experience and expertise while engaged on the course.

To join our personal training course you must be over 18 years old, physically able to do the work and have good communication skills. There is no upper age limit, with mature students especially welcome. No pre-qualifications are necessary

Our course tutors Peter Jawor and Kasia Jawor - highly qualified and experienced fitness professionals with one clear goal - to make sure you pass and are comfortable and confident delivering personal training sessions.

The content of this qualification is comprised of all the required elements needed to work effectively and efficiently as a personal trainer. This includes anatomy and physiology, professional practice, an understanding of the principles of health and fitness and how to conduct personal training sessions. The Level 3 personal trainer will be able to design and structure sessions and programmes specifically targeted to meet individual client needs and requirements.
