Career Profile - Personal Trainer


Career Profile


Personal Trainers help others to achieve their fitness goals. It’s an ideal career for anyone who is passionate about staying healthy

A personal trainer creates one-on-one fitness programmes for their clients, motivating and guiding them to achieve their goals.

Clients may wish to lose weight or gain muscle, and as a personal trainer you’ll teach and help them to exercise properly using workouts and specific plans. You’ll instruct and advise clients, using a range of fitness machines, classes or weights.

Similar roles include fitness instructor and gym instructor, but a personal trainer holds more fitness qualifications, meaning they’re able to provide clients with tailored health and exercise advice. It’s not uncommon for those new to the industry to train as a fitness or gym instructor first before qualifying as a personal trainer.

You’ll work in a gym or a similar setting but can take sessions outdoors or to other venues.

Responsibilities
As a Personal Trainer, you’ll need to:

* conducting fitness assessments to establish client fitness and skill level
* holding one-on-one or group sessions with clients
* identifying goals and creating tailored exercise plans
* monitoring your clients’ progress
* providing advice to clients on health, nutrition and lifestyle changes
* educating and advising clients to maintain or reach their fitness and health goals
* keeping up to date with the latest personal training techniques and best practise
* helping clients with their workouts
creating and maintaining positive, professional and trusting relationships with clients
* providing innovative and challenging exercises to keep clients engaged and motivated
* proactively seeking and providing feedback in a manner which suits each individual client
* assisting with membership retention strategies for existing clients
* accurately recording your clients’ training sessions and tracking relevant paperwork
* communicating with clients in a professional and courteous manner
* acting as a positive role model for all clients
making the best of the environment in which clients are exercising
* analysing information relating to individual clients
* marketing your business to increase your client base
* maintaining an online presence through your personal website, blog and social media.

Salary

A large proportion of personal trainers work freelance (self-employed) and are therefore paid by the hour for each session they undertake.

* Freelance instructors can expect to earn between £20 and £40 an hour. This could be much higher, £50 to £100 per hour in some locations and if you’re working with high profile clients.
* For those employed by a gym or similar, expect to start on a salary between £14,000 and £16,000, rising to between £20,000 and £30,000 with experience.

Working Hours

Working hours vary considerably and will depend on whether you’re employed by a gym or if you’re self-employed. You’ll need to be flexible in order to meet the needs of your clients, so you’ll probably work in the evenings, early mornings and weekends. While you’re building up your client base, it’s not uncommon to work 12-hour days, which will include working with existing clients while also trying to recruit new ones.

What to expect

* Personal training is not a 9am-5pm office job. Where you work can be incredibly varied. This could include client’s homes, a local gym, a park or even on a cruise ship or holiday resort.
* Personal trainers are often viewed as positive role models by their clients. It’s essential that you look after your own health and wellbeing in order to promote a healthy lifestyle to others.
* Keeping up to date with developments in the fitness industry is essential as is the continuous development of your own skills, knowledge and qualifications. This will enable you to offer a varied service to your clients that is tailored to their individual needs.
* As a freelance or self-employed personal trainer you’ll be expected to have public liability insurance.

Skills
You’ll need to have:

* the ability to inspire clients
* a friendly and outgoing personality
* excellent people skills to enable you to work with a range of individuals with different backgrounds and motivations
* a good understanding of the human body and nutrition
* a love of health and fitness
* excellent time keeping and organisational skills
* the ability to deliver a high level of customer care
* excellent oral communication skills
* awareness and understanding of safeguarding practice and policy
* high levels of enthusiasm and drive
* problem solving and stress management skills
* the ability to use information technology for a range of purposes including record keeping, class scheduling, session reminders, sales and invoicing, client and group management and analysing your clients’ progress.

Career prospects

After you’ve qualified it’s possible to start your own personal training business straight away, but many trainers choose work for an employer first and then branch out once they’ve gained a good client base.

According to the 2017 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, the UK health and fitness industry has grown significantly in the past few years and is continuing to do so, with 2020 being potentially cited as ‘the golden age of fitness’. This outlook is a reassuring one for anyone wishing to start their career as a personal trainer.

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?


  Course Qualifications


This is a dual-certification course and you will therefore receive two qualifications. This course is certified by Open Learning College via the Open Pathway Accreditation Programme.

This course leads to a Level 3 for successful learners. This means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) for England.

This qualification has been developed by Open Learning College to meet the specific needs of our learners and has been accredited by QLS demonstrating the learning activity has reached the required Quality Licence Scheme standards and benchmarks.

The Quality Licence Scheme recognises a provider’s commitment to high-quality courses in the non-regulated sector, by evaluating quality processes and endorsing an organisation. This demonstrates to the people you work with that there is a commitment to delivering a high quality of learning and learners are able to receive an endorsed Certificate of Achievement upon completion of their course.

Open Learning College have undergone external quality checks to ensure that the organisation and the courses’ it offers meet a high standard. Regular reviews of our courses are carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The course depth and study has been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual.

1. You will receive your accreditation directly from QLS, once you have successfully completed your course (certification fees are included in the course fee).

2. You will receive the Open Pathway Accreditation Diploma (OPA.dip) from Open Learning College.



Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
