Wellbeing Fitness is the leading personal training organisation in Northamptonshire. We train up to 800 clients a month and employ 13 full-time personal trainers. You will be learning from highly-qualified professionals in a real-world environment.
The UK fitness industry is worth over £2 billion and growing. Personal training sits at its premium end, with high demand, strong earnings, and a job that genuinely changes people's lives.
Self-employed PTs in the UK typically charge £30 to £65 per session. With a full client base of just 20 clients you can realistically earn £40,000 to £60,000+ a year, and more as you build your reputation.
No commute, no fixed desk, no rigid 9 to 5. Set your own schedule, choose your clients, and work from a gym, a client's home, outdoors, or build a hybrid online business alongside your in-person sessions.
You're not just counting reps. You're helping people lose weight, recover from injury, manage stress, and feel confident again. The transformations you witness every week make this one of the most rewarding jobs there is.
1 in 4 UK adults say they would like to use a personal trainer. With rising awareness of mental health, longevity, and preventive fitness, demand for qualified PTs is consistently outpacing supply.
You'll see the same people week after week, year after year. You'll learn their goals, celebrate their wins, and become a trusted part of their life. It's a career built on relationships, not transactions.
Start as a gym PT, go self-employed, build an online client base, launch group programmes, or open your own studio. Every level up is entirely in your control. Your qualification is the foundation for a business, not just a job.
