Whether you enrol on a gym instructor course, a personal training course or a sports massage qualification, you’ll earn an accredited, industry-recognised qualification backed by 25+ years of training experience and a 94% pass rate.
Can I study personal training courses online?
Absolutely. Our fitness trainer courses online let you qualify from anywhere in the UK. You can take a fully online personal trainer course, choose online PT training with blended workshops, or fast-track in person. Online personal training courses are delivered through our e-learning platform with 24/7 access and expert tutor support, so personal trainer training online fits around work and family.
How do I become a personal trainer in the UK?
To become a personal trainer in the UK you first complete a Level 2 Gym Instructor Course, then progress to the Level 3 Personal Trainer Course. The quickest route is our combined Level 2 & 3 Diploma in Gym Instructing and Personal Training, which takes you from no experience to a fully qualified PT in one package. It’s the complete PT course pathway, with online, blended and fast-track study options.
How much do your fitness and personal trainer courses cost?
Course fees depend on the qualification and study route. The Level 2 Gym Instructor Course starts from £549, the Level 3 Personal Trainer Course from £799, and the combined Level 2 & 3 Diploma from £999. Every personal training course includes flexible finance options, 10 free CPD courses worth £1,500, and no resubmission fees, making our fitness training some of the best value in the UK.
What's the difference between a gym instructor course and a personal trainer course?
A Level 2 Gym Instructor Course qualifies you to work on the gym floor, inducting members and leading gym-based training. A Level 3 Personal Trainer Course builds on that, letting you design tailored programmes, coach one-to-one and charge higher rates. Most students take both together through the Level 2 & 3 Diploma to become a fully qualified gym instructor and personal trainer.
Do you offer fast-track fitness courses where I can qualify in a week?
Yes. Our fast-track fitness training lets you qualify quickly without compromising on quality. You can complete the Level 2 Gym Instructor Course or Level 3 Personal Trainer Course in as little as one week of intensive, tutor-led training, or take the full personal training course diploma in around two weeks. Fast-track, blended and online personal training courses all lead to the same accredited qualification.
Where are your fitness training venues located?

Prefer to study from home? Our online personal training courses and fitness trainer courses online are available UK-wide. Contact us to find personal training courses near you.
Which fitness instructor courses are best for beginners with no experience?
If you’re starting with no experience, the Level 2 Gym Instructor Course is the ideal entry point — no qualifications are needed to begin. From there you can progress onto Level 3 personal training courses, fitness instructor courses or specialist routes like Exercise to Music. Our fitness instructor courses are designed to take complete beginners to fully qualified, job-ready professionals.
Can I get a recognised personal trainer certificate online?
Yes. You can earn a nationally recognised certificate as a personal trainer entirely online. Our online PT course leads to the same CIMSPA-endorsed, Ofqual-regulated personal training certification as our in-person routes. From certificate in personal training to full Level 3 personal trainer certification, every online personal training course gives you a qualification employers trust.
Does Diverse Trainers offer online personal training and online coaching courses?
Yes. As well as our core PT courses online, we include online coaching and social media training within our CPD package, so you can attract clients and deliver online personal training as a qualified PT. Many of our online personal trainers build fully remote businesses after completing their personal trainer training online with us.
What qualifications do I need to start a career in fitness?
No prior qualifications are needed to start your fitness training with us.

If you already hold a Level 2, you can go straight onto the Level 3 Personal Trainer Course.
How long does it take to qualify as a personal trainer or fitness instructor?
It depends on your route. Fast-track students qualify in one to two weeks, blended and online learners typically finish in 4–6 weeks studying at their own pace, and everyone has up to two years to complete. Whether you choose an online personal trainer course or an in-person fitness instructor course, you control the timeline.
