Step 3: Know who you want to train

Having a niche market that you want to train is great, it will allow you to focus your efforts on attracting this specific client group, whether this is new mums, sporting individuals, office workers, obese population, horse riders etc. Understanding who you want to train will allow you to research that area, so when you qualify you have built up the knowledge and understand the client group.

It’s important to take the appropriate steps to ensure you are covered as a PT and have the best start to your career. Signing up to REPs (Register of Exercise Professionals) would be a good idea. This will give you the professional backing as a newly qualified trainer. Insurance is the next step, to cover your training sessions with your clients.

A first aid qualification is also vital as training one to one with clients you are responsible for them, and this will improve your personal development.

Consultations, taster sessions and group training are all great ways to start that process. Build your reputation and always keep learning, studying and researching. You can carry out extra CPD courses and learn new skills that work well with personal training such as the Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage. Enjoy the role and always be positive, motivational and supportive to all your clients, and you will enjoy your job!

Complete a half marathon after having low confidence and having the sense of achievement. Your clients will bring you their goals and you will push them to achieving them and surpassing them. That is rewarding!
