Why did you decide to do a Personal Training course with The Training Room?
Fitness has always been a passion of mine, and I decided that I wanted to help people achieve their fitness goals! I decided to do a Personal Training Course with The Training Room after some deliberation. The Training Room was recommended to me by a friend, and after speaking to the advisors at The Training Room, who were very reassuring, I decided to sign up.
+ View MoreHow did you find your tutors on the course?
The Training Room tutors were fantastic, I can't thank Amanda and Matt enough. They have always gone above and beyond what could be reasonably expected. From the onset they have been both approachable and professional, providing us with support when it was needed and dealing with any issues that we had both promptly.
How are you finding life as a Personal Trainer?
To put it simply, I love it! Going into work every day and helping other people to achieve their goals and dreams is just an incredible feeling.
What would you say to people thinking about taking a course with The Training Room?
I can't recommend The Training Room enough, and I am thankful that I booked my course through them. The course has exceeded my expectations in every respect and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Training Room. The addition of the CPD courses set us apart in our training and is a really valuable addition to the course, as it gives us a much broader skill base. If you are thinking about doing a course with The Training Room, I would say just go for it; it's definitely one of the best investments I could have made in myself and my career. The tutors, advisors and the career support that you receive are fantastic.
- View LessRobert Pritchard decided to change career, aged 20. From working as a supermarket merchandiser in Northampton to becoming a Personal Trainer. This is his story of how, with the help of The Training Room he was able to turn his love of the gym and fitness into a career.
What inspired you to become a Personal Trainer?
I am a fitness freak. Before I became a Personal Trainer, I went to the gym five times a week, as well as playing football, this is what inspired me to want to have a career in Personal Training.
+ View MoreIt's something that I enjoy doing and being able to really change people's lives attracted me to the industry. I've always been into fitness. I started running when I was 12 and have always been active. Until the age of 18 I used to play youth football for Rushden & Diamonds. My career is now what I love to do, and I've really embraced the chance of being able to do this and change other people's lives.
How are you finding being a self-employed Personal Trainer?
What I like best about running my own business is being my own boss. Everyone would love to be their own boss, and being in this industry allows you to do that. One of my favourite things about being a PT is that you can work for as many hours as you want to. If you really want to work hard and get your name out there, you should be able to work long shifts and always be on your feet talking to people, and this is exactly what I do.
It took me just a week to get my first client, and the gym I worked in really helped me get started. I currently have about 20 clients, and my goal is 40 per month!
What would you say to somebody considering The Training Room?
I would definitely recommend TTR (The Training Room). The amount of support and quality education you receive is fantastic. I found the training programme really good fun. Everyone on the course was really friendly, and the tutors are superb. They are very helpful and have good experience under their belts. There are so many doors a career in Personal Training can open, and it's really worthwhile. I am in the process of creating my own website and will soon be promoting my business on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
I love what I do and everyone has the chance of turning their passions into careers with courses like this from The Training Room.
