Become a Gym Instructor or Personal Trainer

To start your career in fitness you must have a minimum of a REPs Level 2 Gym Instructor Qualification. If you wish to become a personal trainer, you can either become a gym instructor first then move to personal training. Or, you can fast track yourself straight to personal training by combining the gym instructor course with the personal trainer course. This is often the preferred option for our learners as it means earning between £35-£50 per hour straight away. The only requirement you need is passion for fitness and wanting to change people's lives--the rest is up to us! Alongside the training, our tutors will support and advise you on getting your first role as a gym instructor or personal trainer.


On top of this, you can choose what level of personal trainer and gym instructor you wish to be. Below shows the different levels of our personal trainers. The higher the level, the more money you earn:

 

Level 2 Gym Instructor

  • REPs level 2 status
  • Central YMCA Qualification

Level 3 Personal Trainer Certificate

  • Flexible learning
  • REPs level 3 status
  • Central YMCA Qualification
  • Entry level to become a personal trainer

 

Level 3 Master Personal Trainer Course

  • Group Instructor courses included

 

 

We are extremely proud of the high quality training you will receive from our tutors; we ensure you learn from the best. They are not only the top educators in fitness, but all have their own successful personal trainer and rehabilitation businesses. Therefore, they can advise you on the best career path for yourself.

 

At Discovery Learning, we have a variety of progression paths and courses to ensure you have a qualification and course that suits your needs. Our key aim is flexibility, so if you have trouble choosing a course speak to one of our careers advisors on 0208 543 1017 to help you choose the correct course for you.

Are you stuck with same old routine and bored out of your mind? Then try interval training! I had been thinking about it for long time and knew all benefits, but have never been brave to apply this type of training in to my cardio workouts.
