Online personal trainer courses are the perfect way to learn due to the flexibility of the course structure. You get all the benefits of a face to face course i.e. real life tutors in virtual classrooms, practically focused courses, one-to-one feedback on your practical and theoretical skills; but you will also receive recorded sessions of the classes you’ve attended to watch over and over again to ensure you really understand what you’re learning and how to correctly apply that knowledge.

Once you have completed all your personal trainer course assessments online, you can choose to work as an Online Personal Trainer, an in person Personal Trainer, or a combination of both, opening up un-tapped earning potential.

All THFI personal trainer courses and qualifications are accredited by either Active IQ, YMCA Awards or Transcend Awards.

The courses are delivered with a mix of live webinars, online learning, group sessions and assessments are conducted using video.

There are many providers that offer in classroom only, and blended learning in-person and online. It is not the method of delivery that matters, it's the engagement and time with the course tutors that truly makes a difference.

It is our belief that you will be better equipped to learn at your own pace, in your own way with the ability to ask more questions and absorb the extensive knowledge required to be a good Personal Trainer by completing an online PT course with THFI.

You can complete your Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing and your Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma online within 16 weeks with THFI.

Other providers offer crash courses and shorter time frames to deliver their courses, but given the extensive nature of the course, and how "hands on" you need to be with your future clients, they deserve more from you.

Your education will only set you up for success if you take the time to fully absorb the learnings available by learning online with THFI.
