PT Academy

Founded in 2009, PT Academy was, and still is, the only fitness education company to use active personal trainers as part of its expert delivery team.

From the beginning, our philosophy has always been that our students learn best from qualified personal trainers. Personal trainers know exactly what it takes to grow a successful personal training business as they’ve done it themselves.

This firm belief has resulted in the development of our flagship learning method, the Flexi-Learner programme, where students are assigned an active personal trainer in their local region who guides them through their Level 2 and 3 personal trainer qualifications.

The success of the Flexi-Learner method has meant that in just a few years our team has expanded. We now have over 200 active trainers across the UK and the highest number of assessment centres, making PT Academy the largest fitness education provider in the UK.

For Trainers, By Trainers…

We are PT Academy.

9 years on and having partnered with several gym chains including: The Gym Group, Bannantynes, Xercise 4 Less, Virgin Active and many other gym chains - Personal Trainer Academy is now the largest and fastest growing fitness education company in the UK.

Recognised as the UK’s leading fitness and personal training course providers, we have the largest number of assessment centres and venues than any other UK training provider. We are the first education company to use active trainers as mentors, assessors and tutors of our courses.
