Our aim is to get you ready for that first client after your course. You will be ready, equipped and confident to join and add value to the fitness industry. You may want to be self-employed, training people at home and outdoors. You may be an online PT. You may be employed at another gym or club. You may even want to be part of our team at The Hogarth, now that you’ve got your foot in our door, you may be writing your own chapter in our illustrious history. The benefits of plying your trade here are what make our trainers successful.

Our members, unlike many other club, get regular inclusive sessions in their membership. As an employed trainer who is newly qualified this is a massive opportunity to put you knowledge into practice and meet diverse members with varying issues and needs, each one a puzzle to be solved. That experience is invaluable and you never stop learning new things.

We employ 12 trainers who work together and share experiences. They are not in competition and there’s further opportunities to earn extra with freelance personal training on top of your employed hours. It is not a salesy environment, you will pick up clients just be doing your day job well and being approachable.

You may also want to teach classes which can be added to our timetable and we have a clinic with therapists such as physios, sports therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and acupuncturists all onsite for you to have to hand, who may help you look after your clients and help you grow.

You’ll receive a nationally recognised qualification, validated by the international validating body, Thinktree Hub. The Hogarth is a leading Health club which provides personal training to over 400 clients a month. You will be learning from highly qualified professionals in a real-world environment.

To a certain extent this depends of course on the experience and previous knowledge of the student but we estimate on average around 4 hours a week. For those in full time jobs an hour a night should be more than enough to get you through.

Almost always, someone will have to miss one of the dates through no fault of their own and the course has been designed to accommodate this. Because the course has competency-based assessments rather than set examinations, this allows for flexibility.

To join our personal training course you must be over 16 years old, physically able to do the work and have good communication skills. There is no upper age limit, mature students are especially welcome. No pre-qualifications are necessary.

The course leader is The Hogarth Health and Fitness Manager Vojin, the course is taught by him and his team of experienced and engaging trainers with one clear goal - to make sure you pass and are comfortable and confident delivering personal training sessions one to one or in a group. “I’ve worked in the industry for 19 years, you will be literally downloading my brain as I show you every inner working of how to coach and help people change and get results with fitness, nutrition and lifestyle.”

The cost of the course is £1981.00, which will include all your registration and tuition. We offer a 25% deposit of the full price and then up to three further instalments spread throughout the duration of the course.
