The Hello Fit Personal Trainer Diploma is a Combined Level 2/3 qualification from Wellbeing Fitness Education Centre. It is designed for practical people who want hands-on experience that equips them to do the job from the day they finish, not just weeks of online theory with little connection to real life.
The course is delivered by Rich and Katie Mitchell, both working coaches who understand exactly what clients and employers want from a newly qualified PT. Every session is grounded in real practice, delivered inside Hello Fit’s award-winning gym.
You do not need any prior fitness qualifications to enrol. Designed to take you from enthusiast to qualified PT, whether you are entirely new to the industry or already working in a gym.
Sessions are taught once every other week so you can study alongside your current job or family commitments. The ten-week structure gives you time to absorb and practise what you learn between workshops.
Payment plans are available on request, making the diploma accessible regardless of your current financial situation. Contact us to discuss the options when you request your prospectus.
Complete the diploma and you can start working as a PT the same day. You are guaranteed professional insurance on completion and your qualification is accepted at any gym in the country.
How the body works: the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, energy systems and how they respond to exercise. The essential foundation for effective programme design.
How to coach fundamental movement patterns safely and effectively. You will practise instructing resistance training, cardiovascular exercise and functional movements with real participants throughout the course.
How to design progressive, goal-specific training programmes for a range of clients. Periodisation principles, adaptation, overload and recovery all covered in practical detail with real programming exercises.
PAR-Q forms, lifestyle questionnaires, fitness assessments and postural analysis. How to gather client information professionally, identify risk factors and design appropriate interventions.
Macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, energy balance and how diet interacts with training. Understanding enough to support client nutrition within your scope of practice as a qualified PT.
Self-employment basics, insurance, finding clients, setting your rates, online and in-person PT, client retention and professional practice. Everything you need to start earning from day one.
Whether you’re training for strength, fitness, sport or just feeling better, Hello Fit has the space, kit and expertise to get you there.
“As hands-on coaches ourselves, we want to make sure that our personal trainer course is also suitable for practical people: who want an experience which will actually equip them to do the job by the end of the course, not just learn weeks of online theory which doesn’t bear any relationship to real life and what many educational providers offer. Our industry-experienced tutors give you full support from start to finish.”
“I want every student on this course to leave feeling genuinely confident in their ability to coach a client, design a programme and build a business. We give you everything you need: the theory, the practical skills, the industry contacts and the ongoing support to succeed the moment you qualify.”
Here is exactly how the course runs from requesting your prospectus to the day you start working with your first client.

A PT diploma opens more doors than most people realise. Here are some of the paths our graduates take after qualifying.
Work as a PT or gym instructor in any gym in the UK. Your Level 2/3 diploma is the industry standard qualification required by virtually every employer in the sector.
Set up your own personal training business. Work in clients’ homes, hire gym floor space, use outdoor locations or run sessions online. Build your own hours and rates from day one.
Build a client base entirely online. Design programmes, track progress and coach via video call. Many qualified PTs now run fully remote businesses alongside or instead of in-person work.
Lead group fitness sessions in gyms, leisure centres, sports clubs or independently. Your diploma qualifies you to design and run small group training as well as 1-to-1 coaching.
A growing sector. Work with businesses to deliver wellness programmes, fitness sessions and wellbeing initiatives for employees. Excellent earning potential and a rapidly expanding market.
Use your Level 2/3 diploma as a foundation for further specialisms: sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, corrective exercise, yoga, Pilates and more.
No. You do not need any prior fitness qualifications, degrees or experience to enrol on the Combined Level 2/3 PT Diploma. The course is designed to take you from complete beginner to qualified personal trainer. A genuine passion for fitness and helping others is all that is required.
Yes. The Combined Level 2/3 diploma is validated by Focus Awards, regulated by Ofqual and recognised by CIMSPA, AIT and Thinktree Hub. It is accepted at any gym or fitness facility in the UK and internationally. You can use it to apply for employed roles or to set up your own business anywhere.
Over the ten-week course you attend approximately five practical workshop days, held every other week. Between sessions you complete coursework through the student hub at your own pace. This means a typical week alternates between a workshop day and an independent study week, giving you time to absorb and practise what you have learned.
The next course starts on 26th September. Places are limited to keep groups small so we recommend enquiring as soon as possible. Download the free prospectus or email us directly at personaltrainingacademy@hellofit.co.uk to check availability and reserve your place.
All practical workshops are delivered at Hello Fit in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Free on-site parking is available. The gym setting means you train in a real professional environment from your first session.
