I want to help people achieve fitness results/goals

Personal training is helping someone change their life physically, emotionally, mentally and last but not least, changing their body shape. Every person you help during your fitness career can live a longer, healthier and happier life. Whether it is helping someone with weight loss, recovery after an injury or just feeling better about themselves, you know your fitness career is assisting people to make a positive change. How can you beat that?

I want to be a personal trainer

Personal training is an extremely rewarding fitness career, whether you are training and/or educating people one-on-one in the gym or outside. It is the most popular fitness career, allowing you to help your client's fast track their results safely.

The remuneration for personal training as a fitness career can be fantastic depending on your level of motivation and enthusiasm. One bonus is that your hours can be flexible too.

What is the modern day personal trainer?

The modern personal trainer is more than just an exercise dispenser.

He or she must be highly trained, highly motivated and able to cope with the demands of a multi-dimensional and multi-faceted fitness industry.

This industry is a multi-disciplined profession encompassing government sectors, the medical profession, sole traders and small businesses, professional sports clubs, health clubs and the general public.

The personal trainer is not just required to have basic knowledge in some of these areas; they are required to have an expertise in all.

One of the primary functions of the personal trainer is to promote health and wellbeing by providing education on the benefits of physical activity and exercise in the prevention and management of disease and injury. This includes helping control the global epidemic that is obesity, and the positive impact fitness has in developing a happier, healthier life.

To be able to do this, the trainer is required to stay ahead of the game in relation to the development of new strategies and techniques in their chosen field.

At PT Train we give you the knowledge and the expertise to equip you to start your exciting fitness career as a PT.

You will learn from lecturers that have been at the forefront of the industry for many years. Lectures include indoor and outdoor training, advanced programming and conditioning principles and business and marketing skills.

At PT Train we don't just create trainers; we create industry leaders.
