Course Format |
You can start the Bodylogic Personal Trainer course
any day of the year. The training course is a mixture of home study,
unlimited tutor support and advice, followed by two 1:1 sessions
of around 2 hours each, with the Director Paul Hughes. The home
study includes 100 page manual, which should take around 50 hours
to complete. Once this is completed the two 1:1 sessions will be
arranged. |
Course Aim |
The Bodylogic Personal Trainer Course is aimed at
suitably qualified individuals who are looking to increase their
paying client base and are possibly considering working as a self
employed Personal Trainer either within a health club(s) or from
other venues/premises.
This Bodylogic Personal Training course will show you everything
that is truly important if you really want to increase your number
of paying clients. This course is written and delivered by Paul
Hughes and is based on 20 years of successful business experience
in the fitness industry. Each student is mentored and guided on
a totally individual basis and will be given individual advice and
guidance based on their own knowledge, experience and aspirations.
Many former students now operate on a self employed basis as Personal
Trainers in major health clubs such as David Lloyd, Fitness First
and many have set up their own successful business. |

Frequently asked question...'I'm already a Personal
Trainer/Advanced Instructor, why should I do this course? |
This course is very different to the Level
3 Personal Trainer, a quick look at the syllabus content will
show this. A financially successful Personal Trainer needs to know
so much more than what is covered on a traditional Level 3 Personal
Trainer course. This course will put you on the path of truly realising
your financial potential by concentrating on improving your commercial
awareness of Personal Training.
Here is what David Lister from Manchester said about the Bodylogic
Personal Trainer course:
"The Personal Training course with Bodylogic is a very informative
course. The course really opened my eyes up to so many things that
I had not even considered before I enrolled onto the course. It
showed me all the different possibilities I had open to me, the
different PT business models available and really helped me define
which was best for my own career goals and personal circumstances.
It also made me realise that having a textbook knowledge of exercise
gained by the Level 3 is only one element of being a really successful
P.T. The course taught me a much more systematic, holistic way to
deal with every prospective client and importantly how to actually
turn a prospective client into an actual client!
The two private sessions with Paul Hughes were absolutely invaluable.
It has completely changed my view on how Personal Training should
really work if you want to increase your client numbers and help
them achieve their goals. It is based on a reliable systematic format
and years of business and in the field experience. I would strongly
recommend the Bodylogic Personal Training course to anyone who wants
to be better than a run of the mill Personal Trainer." |
