Become a personal trainer: the franchise offer

 

If you want to become a Personal Trainer or start a fitness business then look no further. This page will explain why you'll succeed with us and how to take the next step.

 

Proper Qualifications

All our Personal Trainers are fully qualified with a nationally or internationally recognised level three Personal Trainer award. It is important when you become a Personal Trainer that you get the best qualifications. Thanks to our partnership with a national training provider you can get the industry-leading CYQ Personal Trainer award. If you already have a REPS level 3 PT award click here.

Our partnership means we get discounted course prices which we pass on to you. This means you can launch a whole Personal Training business for less than the cost of most courses. You have the option to become a Personal Trainer through a full-time intensive course over 5-6 weeks or to do distance-learning over 5-8 months. If you already hold some fitness qualifications these may also count towards your award.

Once you have become a Personal Trainer you will start your franchise training, which takes one week. The big advantage to qualifying with us, as well as saving money, is that we will actually start advertising for your customers while you are taking your Personal Training course. This means you will have customers ready and waiting the moment you launch your business.

The Franchise Training

Franchise training is designed to give you everything you need to start and run your business. Of course, we don't train you and then just leave you to get on with it – we will be with you every step of the way. We want people to launch successful personal training careers, not short-term businesses.

The training to become a personal trainer will last a week and covers essential business skills such as administration, book-keeping and legal requirements. It will teach you techniques to help you retain clients for the long-term, how to use the templates we give you for client records and how to trouble-shoot common Personal Training challenges. We will also show you how to use all the equipment you're supplied with when we teach you the specialist home Personal Training skills we have developed over the years. We want you to become a Personal Trainer with exceptional skills not average ones.

The Franchise Kit

We give you almost everything you need to launch your Personal Training career.  All you need are a car, computer and mobile phone.

You will get all the fitness equipment you need to train clients. We give you a fitness testing pack so you can professionally assess the health and fitness levels of your customers. You receive professionally-designed marketing brochures, headed paper and business cards. We also provide a marketing launch with an exclusive web page, directory listings, media coverage and other advertising to give your business a flying start.

Ongoing Support & Marketing

In the early days of your Personal Training career you will probably still have a few questions. We will give you intensive support and we are always on the end of the phone Mon-Fri 0900-1700. We will have scheduled phone chats to go over any problems and we will review the training programmes and fitness reports you write for your first few customers to teach you how to make them even better.

One of the biggest advantages of becoming a Personal Trainer with At Home Fitness is that we supply customers for you. The biggest challenge most independent trainers have is finding enough work. With At Home Fitness we do the marketing for you so you can get on with training customers.

Once you've found your feet, you will get a weekly support chat to help make sure you are running your business as effectively as possible. There will be regular CPD training courses to develop your Personal Training career and we also supply your insurance and REPS membership.

Armed Forces Resettlement Package

We know that people leaving the Armed Forces have unique skills which can be transferred into a civilian setting. We welcome those who are leaving the Forces or who have left in the last twelve months to join our special Resettlement Package. We will also offer you a 'try before you buy' opportunity to shadow one of our trainers and see if this is the right option for you before joining us.

We also recognise that for many people leaving the Armed Forces can present extra challenges, especially if virtually all their working life has been in the military. We understand these challenges because we already have trainers with Forces experience, or have partners in the Forces. We also know that there are many unique attributes that Forces leavers bring that can be turned into advantages in civilian fitness training. For this reason we have developed an extra day's training as part of our resettlement package.

Our Resettlement Package includes all the standard training we give a new franchisee, but adds in extra training aimed at addressing the special skills and challenges relevant to former Services personnel. We will build on your experiences of PTI training so you can offer outdoor 'Boot Camp' style fitness and clarify which of your repertoire of military exercises are appropriate for 'Civvy Street' and which ones are considered too high risk. We will also address some of the common problems faced when settling back into civilian life, with advice from our trainers with Service experience. You will also get the opportunity to shadow one of our trainers to learn from them once you have completed training and get enhanced support during the first month of your franchise.

If you haven't read the rest of what you get when you join us see our fitness franchise offer here.

If you have, give us a call on 0800 977 4154 or 0121 472 5887 or use the contact form to send us an email. What's stopping you from taking the first step of your Personal Training career today?
