 So, you’ve decided that you want to become qualified in Personal Training, 
and want to get the certification so that you can legitimately train somebody 
on a 1-to-1 basis or instruct group sessions. What is your next step? You will 
need to choose a legitimate course that fits well with your lifestyle.
 WARNING – there are many fraudulent courses out there claiming to run 
recognized courses. We promise that if you stick with the following rules 
when choosing a course, you shouldn’t have any issues:
Rule 1: Will this course let me achieve a recognised 
qualification?
 This is the number one and most important rule of all. The 2 most recognized 
awarding bodies for Personal Training courses in the UK are Active IQ & YMCA 
Awards, therefore to be extra safe and avoid scams only select courses that 
run their courses through the 2 aforementioned awarding bodies. 
We use Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Traini
ng
 not only because their content is the most concurrent with today’s science, 
but their customer service is brilliant which means we can get our student 
their certificates quickly.
Rule 2: Do they have reviews online WHICH AREN’T 
on their own website?
 Be sure to check reviews of a company before going ahead with them. Also do 
not judge them based on reviews on their own website, because that can 
easily be edited by themselves. Look for reviews on independent platforms 
such as Trust pilot, Facebook or Google reviews. If they do not have any 
online to see, then they may be trying to hide something. When searching for 
personal training course London and gym instructing course, always check 
reviews!
Rule 3: Do I need to travel far for my practical 
assessment?
 A lot of fake promises are also made by companies. They’ll claim to be 100% 
online but realistically you will need to go to a Centre near to you to sit your 
multiple-choice theory tests. Remember, there are two for level 2 Gym 
Instructing and two for level 3 Personal Training which, for most people, is 
not achievable in one day. Recently we were speaking to somebody who lived 
in London but needed to travel up to Birmingham for the assessments. This 
individual was told it can all be done in one day however she then found that 
it was £100 per resist, and there were only 2 available assessment dates per 
year. She transferred her course to us immediately and completes all her 
Personal Training course in London.
