What’s involved
Becoming a sports massage therapist may be something you have considered but thought it was out of your reach – or you maybe have thought of escaping from the rat-race of nine-to-five working and setting up a business of your own.
With the huge changes that are happening in our society at the moment, with the increasing stress that many people are experiencing in their everyday lives, massage is becoming more and more popular. From being a minority interest only a few years ago, today the demand has increased massively. For example, 10 years ago at Wellbeing Fitness, we employed two massage therapists and now we’ve tripled the number and are set to increase it even more.
So if ever there was a time to retrain and do something different, it is now.

Our Director of Education, Ian Spiby spent 18 years as a Head of Department at Northampton University and so is in a perfect position to oversee the rigorous standards of the course.
Kieran Sharpe who is the Course Director has long experience and qualifications for delivering the massage courses – and was recently awarded an “outstanding” grade in an OFSTED inspection.
What our Managing Director, Ian Ryves, has to say:
“As a very practical person, I wanted to make sure that our courses were suitable for practical people – people who want hands-on experience which will actually equip them to do the job by the end of the course – not just weeks of theory which doesn’t seem to bear any relationship to real life.So with this in mind I have kept an eye on it to make sure it achieves those objectives. And I am so convinced of its practical value, that I have appointed Wellbeing staff to contribute to the course, offering their invaluable experience of the issues involved in the actual day-to-day workplace.”

Timetable
Why not train for the Wellbeing Fitness Sports Massage Diploma and be a fully qualified therapist. We are now taking bookings for the course which starts on Sunday 26th January 2025 ends on the 16th March 2025. There is a Half Term Break on the 16th & 23rd February.

Entry Requirements
To join our sports massage 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, with mature students especially welcome.
Course Study
All study material will be provided to help you prepare for the practical training. In addition, you will be required to do home study, with all materials provided via our online training hub.
Why choose this course?
Our aim in teaching you on this course is to prepare you by the end, to be as ready, prepared and confident to take your place in the industry as a sports massage therapist as it is possible to be. This could be working as an employee with another organisation, as a self-employed practitioner setting up on your own or even as part of our team at Wellbeing Fitness. To do this, we have a number of added-value extras that most other companies are unable to provide.
Unlike many training providers, including further education colleges, Wellbeing Fitness is an organisation that provides personal training and sports massage to actual clients, delivering over 100 sessions per month. So you will be trained by a company at the heart of the industry, who are offering therapies to real clients. We employ 13 sports massage therapists and personal trainers and we are always looking for talented newly-qualified therapists and personal trainers to join our team. We prefer to offer jobs to our former students before advertising more widely. As part of the course we hold regular clinics attended by our clients where under supervision you can put your new skills to the test and gain some invaluable real-life experience. Thus you will get to practise on a range of ages and body types and receive feedback from the clients themselves.
Because we are part of the wellness industry we are also able to offer opportunities for work-experience and/or shadowing our therapists in order to extend the range of your experience and expertise while engaged on the course.
