Course Aim

The Bodylogic Personal Training Certificate is aimed at suitably qualified individuals who are considering working as a self employed Personal Trainer either within a health club(s) or from other venues/premises.

There is a vast difference between working as a Personal Trainer as an employee and working as a self employed Personal Trainer. The challenges are greater as are the financial rewards and job satisfaction. Quite simply a far wider skill set is required. This course will show you everything you need in order to make that transition. Our Award is based on 20 years of proven Personal Training and successful business experience in the fitness industry. We want to share this knowledge and experience with you so that you can achieve the income you deserve following your former training and qualifications. Many of our students now operate on a self employed basis in major health clubs such as David Lloyd, Fitness First and many have set up their own successful business.

Entry Requirements

Unlike a lot of providers we firmly believe that the world of Personal Training is not suited to everyone. We therefore insist that all people enrolling onto our course, as a minimum: Be 21 or over, hold a recognised Gym Instructor qualification (OCR/CYQ), have at least 3 months experience of working as a gym instructor.

You should also have good interpersonal, organisational skills literacy and numeracy skills.

These are the minimum requirements, it would be desirable if you held an advanced instructor qualification and or other sports/fitness coaching qualifications.

Frequently asked question...'which course should I do the OCR Personal Trainer Award or the Bodylogic Personal Trainer Award?

These courses are very different. Basically if your intention is to become part or full time self employed as a Personal Trainer then the OCR course will NOT teach you how to go about this. You should do the Bodylogic course. Of course you can do the OCR PT then the Bodylogic PT which is what we recommend.

Here is what Paul McGill, a Personal Trainer at Chorley Leisure centre said about the Bodylogic PT course:

"The personal training course with Bodylogic is very very informative, no waffle, gives you the nuts and bolts knowledge and skills to be the best personal trainer you can be. The course director, Paul Hughes is very knowledgeable with bags of experience, listen to him and you will not go far wrong. It has completely changed my view on how personal training works. Based on a reliable format and years of in the field experience, it opens up a whole new way of thinking about personal training. I would recommend the Bodylogic Personal Training course to anyone who wants to be better than a run of the mill personal trainer."
