Affordable online personal trainer certification

The fitness industry is an exciting and vibrant industry to work in and offers many different career paths as you become more experienced personal trainer with online personal trainer certification.  In this blog, we explore what you need to look for when choosing your personal fitness trainer course.

Choose the PersonalFitness Training Courses

Depending on your current circumstances, you need to choose a course that suits your needs. The different types of personal fitness training courses available in the Spain choose any of the on-line, part time full time and residential courses.


If you need to keep working at your own place, then an on-line course may be the best option for you. You will be required to complete most of the theory modules from home with the benefit of progressing at your own pace. You will then be required to attend an academy for assessment.


Part-time courses again allow you to complete the majority of your study at home, however you may need to attend regular practical courses and assessments over the weekend and the courses the courses tend to take a long time to complete.

With full-time courses, you will have to attend a course on weekdays for up to 6 weeks. Fine if you can afford to take the time off to attend one of these “fast-track” course, but it is usually one of the most expensive options for most providers.

Finally there are also a few residential intensive courses. They can be found in the UK and also in Spain. These provide you with the “in-gym” practical time as well as the intensive learning experience on a single site. These courses also have the attraction of fostering a positive learning environment for students.

Another important consideration is to look the on-site tuition facilities. The practical element of the course makes up a large proportion of the learning, so you need to be happy that the training provider is using a gym with a specification meeting current commercial gym standards.  I would also be looking at whether there is opportunity and availability to learn personal training exercise techniques outdoors, as this can be the bread and butter work for many personal trainers.
