In today’s fast paced industry, driven by rapid changes in technology and education, it’s crucial for training providers, fitness professionals and fitness business personal to invest in themselves and their team’s with continual professional development so business’s can remain competitive meet the needs of their clients.

The personal training market is expanding year on year, the number of personal trainers in the UK has grown to nearly 24,000, an increase of 1.8% from 2022. This average has been pretty consistent, there has been a steady increase of personal trainers by 1.8% year on year over the past 5 years in the UK.

Over 80% of personal trainers are self employed freelancer’s or operate their business through their own limited company. It’s therefore crucial for fitness professionals to take ownership and control of their own development, remain competitive and grow their business through continual professional development and specialised certifications, like our Level 4 Strength and Conditioning Qualifications.
