"I’d been looking for a personal trainer for ages, but I wanted someone I could trust. I’ve got some medical issues and I work in education myself so I was looking for a trainer who’d done a professional course, not someone who was just going to give me a whole lot of exercises that would make my condition worse. Looking on the AIPT website, I found Alex who lives not far away, and I can’t praise him highly enough. He quite clearly knows his business and from everything he does and says I can tell that he’s very highly qualified."

"I finished my Level 3 Personal Training Diploma a couple of months ago (which was fantastic by the way – hard work but thoroughly worthwhile) A real bonus was that once I got my certificate, how quickly I was able to join the Association and get my insurance to practise. I’d got some clients lined up ready to go, so literally TWO DAYS after I’d qualified, I was doing my first professional PT session."

"When I was made redundant from my job, I had some redundancy money to spend to get a qualification so I set about finding a suitable course. There are hundreds to choose from but I found that most of them are taught online. I wanted one where you’re actually taught by a real person face to face – and I also wanted someone who owns a gym and is actually doing the job Finally, I discovered the AIPT website. All the people on there who run courses, are actual independent gym owners and they are all experienced and well qualified. And once I started the course, I realise that they are monitored as well – they get regular inspections so I know their standards are high."
