feeling self-conscious the last
place you want to go is a gym.

Let’s start with
some honesty!
Whichever path you choose in personal training, if you are willing to work hard and put the
effort in, it can be a fantastic profession. The demand for personal training is there but you need
to develop a strong marketing strategy, excellent client relationship skills and have a passion for
providing outstanding service if you want to succeed.
The rewards that come with a successful personal training business are certainly there,
but they are for the earning, not the taking. We will set clear expectations with you at the start
of your business to ensure that you feel confident that you can become the most successful
personal trainer you deserve to be. We will then provide the necessary support to help you
achieve your ambitions.
“I have always kept myself fit and active and was previously working in managerial positions within the
leisure industry, particularly family orientated businesses. I thoroughly loved this line of work and welcomed
the varied and high workload and the freedom I had to run my own hours. However it was not my own and I
always wanted to be completely my own boss.
Having decided to train as a personal trainer and throughout my training I wondered what would be the
best way to deliver personal training to clients and be best for me. With a fair amount of research and after
speaking to one of the trainers delivering my course, where he mentioned he’d wished he’d gone solo from
day one, I found Inspiring Fitness and can honestly say I am proud to have been welcomed by an
organisation with such professionalism.
The support structure for you as your develop your franchise is just what I needed, guidance where required
with a culture of openness and total transparency. You are told what the organisation will deliver, it does and
more. You are guided to achieve bench marks that have been established over years and are proven to build
a successful mobile personal training business, with the knowledge of other great personal trainer’s in the
organization there to help and answer questions when required.
Starting up on my own was daunting before meeting and discovering the great team driving Inspiring
Fitness, and after 4 months I have enjoyed every minute with the organisation and will be enjoying many
more. Inspiring Fitness doesn’t do it all for you, but it gives , shares and provides all the necessary skills and
support to build your successful business.”

What our personal
trainers say...
“I was so impressed with
inspiring fitness; after
being in and out of gyms,
struggling to settle and
finding something suitable.
I don’t have a boss or
manager continually calling
me. Instead, I’ve got a
business owner calling once
every week or two to see if
I’m happy, asking whether
I need any support or
if there is anything else
they can do to make my
business more successful.
I’ve even encouraged a
fellow colleague to join
Inspiring Fitness.”.

Exercise and fitness have always been a big part of my life:
I spent years going to studio classes while working as a nurse.
But at the back of my mind, I felt that I could help people
improve their health as much through exercise as by nursing.
The problem was that i didn’t
know where to start.
Inspiring Fitness offered me the
support and training i needed.
I love being part of a team that
has the same values as me, and
I really enjoy my new career”.

I got qualified 18 months ago
and then hit a brick wall, it wouldn’t have been
financially viable to work in a gym and I had no
capital or know how to start my own business.
In july 2009, after a bad day at work, I stumbled
across Inspiring Fitness by chance and it has been
an incredible journey since! I was able to start my
business part time whilst I maintained a steady
employed income and have since left my full time
job and I am doing 24 sessions per week”.

“I qualified as a personal trainer
in april 2009. Between then i had
attended a couple of interviews
with two big health centres but
didn’t like the thought of
paying expensive ground rent.
With Inspiring Fitness I was
achieving 20 sessions per week
and didn’t have the stress of
covering a massive rent each
month. The support is excellent
and the workshop weekends
that are offered for free gives you
time to talk to other trainers and
develop your skills further”
