    I had a really positive experience doing my Level 3 Diploma Practitioner in Personal Training with Summit! The course gave me a lot of insight into the fitness industry as a whole, as well as human anatomy and more scientific information on how exercise has an effect on the body. I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in wanting to work in the fitness industry.

    After attempting to complete the PT course with another company and unfortunately being forced by the unorganized structure, confusion and weak content knowledge, to leave it half way; I did a deep online research and compared all the available options, I found Summit Fitness and decided to give it a try as everything pointed at being the best one.

The level of knowledge, the smoothness of the learning system and the support were over the top. They overdelivered and exceeded my expectations.
The information is updated and relevant. I completed it in about 5 months and I feel I haven’t just studied and practiced to “pass a test” ot get the certification, the knowledge stayed and provided a terrific base to continue to build up from it.

The course is detailed, easy to navigate, organized and the support from tutors is always there.

I fully recommend this course over all the others on the market.

    Tom was very encouraging and was always there to help even after working hours as i maintained a 9-5 job so it was hard to speak to them during the day, John my tutor was the same, always there to help and gave me all the time i needed to get things correct, he would explqin questions and help me to see it a different way, in regards to the help and support it was A+++ really great.

The coursework did have many spelling mistakes and som of the answering boxes had the wrong or different format which made it hard to scroll back to look at previously typed answers, there are some issues with some questions where they would mirror the answers from the previous questions! These are minor things compared to how much information was given in this course!

I learnt so much and had a great time doing so, it was a lot less stressful than anticipated and i could work at my own pace which was nice!

    I have really enjoyed completing my personal training qualifications with Summit Fitness. The course provides a great mix of videos, tasks , assignments and practical examinations to progress through. Therefore when you finish the course you have built up a real strong base of knowledge which will only help you progress as a personal trainer in the future .I found it really helpful that the course was online and I was able to progress through it at my own pace along side working another job. Tom Williams as course leader and John Griffiths as my personal mentor were always on hand to provide me with any support and advice throughout. John was able to give me constructive advice after marking my assignments on what I did well a  how I can improve which is essentially for me to utilise going forward. A fantastic course with fantastic mentors supporting you. I urge anyone who is thinking about completing there personal training qualifications to do so with Summit.

    Tom and his team were very friendly and approachable with any questions I had during my course and there are a number of resources made available to you once qualified.  The content was very in depth and covered all the topics needed to ensure future clients get the best support to reach their goals.

Highly recommend Summit to anyone thinking of undertaking their Personal Trainer qualification.

    I can’t recommend Summit Fitness enough for completing your PT qualifications. It is extremely reasonably priced and monthly payments make it easy for anyone to begin the course. I took my Level 2 & 3 with Summit Fitness and every second was clear, approachable & fun! Tom, John and the rest of the team at Summit are so helpful and we’re super understanding and patient when things had to be delayed for myself. They guidance when work wasn’t quite what it needed to be was super, and you never felt silly for getting things wrong. They respond to any question / query super quickly and want you to pass and succeed just as much as you do! Overall, a really great experience and I would recommend them to anyone.

    The standard of coursework was excellent overall. I found the teaching sessions the easiest way to retain information, but that depends what teaching method suits you as an individual. The tutor, Tom was responsive to all queries, he gave full explanations, regardless of how many times he had to explain . It is a big piece of work but because it is interesting, easy to follow and set at a good level, it is enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Summit fitness. Thank you Tom.

Careers and Progression

Our PT Mentorship programmes are designed for qualified Personal Trainers who either want to work for themselves on a freelance basis, or currently do. This means that you’re the boss; you say when you should or shouldn’t work, decide when to take holidays and days off, and keep ALL of the profits your business makes.

The 1-1 business mentorship with Tom Williams is where we recommend you start. This 1-1 fitness business consultancy with your mentor can be supplemented by our unique e-learning platform, where you’ll have access to exclusive programme content, which includes includes theory, tutorial videos, tasks to ready you for business. Together, we give you the tools, knowledge and individualised 1-1 support from an experienced mentor who’s been where you are today, and has made the mistakes, so you don’t have to.

You’ll check in regularly with your mentor as you progress through the programme. Together, we’ll set your business up for success. The personal support calls are your chance to pick the brains of an experienced fitness professional who’s been in your position, setting up their own fitness business.

So much of life is what and who you know. So, if you know exactly how to or, conversely, how not to do something relating to setting up and running your business, you’re in a much better position; this will save you a heck of a lot of money, time and energy, which can otherwise be spent on growing your business.

Using our tailored needs analysis, we’ll be able to see where you and your business need the most assistance. We’ll then map out a clear roadmap for your success in the fitness industry.

Building a Personal Training business involves much more than delivering great training sessions. Our PT Mentorship programmes cover the practical business skills needed to develop your services, attract clients and manage your business with greater confidence.

Business planning and goal setting

Develop a clearer understanding of your business vision, target audience and long-term ambitions. You’ll explore how to set realistic goals, identify opportunities and create an actionable business plan that supports your development.

Branding and marketing

Learn how to position your Personal Training business, communicate what makes your services different and reach potential clients. Topics include identifying your niche, creating engaging content, social media marketing and building a recognisable fitness brand.

Client acquisition and sales

Understand how to generate enquiries, communicate the value of your services and turn prospective clients into paying customers. You’ll explore practical sales techniques, referral opportunities and ways to develop a consistent approach to finding new clients.

Client experience and retention

Discover how to create a professional experience from the first enquiry through to onboarding, regular check-ins and ongoing coaching. You’ll learn how effective communication, client support and service delivery can help build stronger relationships and encourage long-term retention.

Business systems and productivity

Explore the tools, processes and systems that can make your business easier to manage. From organising client information and managing your time to understanding financial responsibilities, you’ll develop practical skills to support day-to-day operations.

Online coaching and business growth

Learn about the opportunities and challenges of delivering Personal Training services online. You’ll explore remote coaching, digital communication and ways to develop your services as your business grows.

Throughout the programme, you’ll have opportunities to apply these topics to your own circumstances, helping you turn business knowledge into practical actions.

As this CPD (continued professional development) course is designed to ready you for success in the fitness industry from a business sense, there are no assessments. There are, however, tasks for you to complete as you progress through the programme, which is designed to get you thinking about the various aspects of setting up your business for industry success.

After completing the Personal Training Mentorship Programme, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to start your freelance personal training business with confidence. You’ll not only be a fully qualified trainer but also know exactly how to accelerate your business growth and ultimately develop a successful career within the fitness industry.

Once qualified, you can explore opportunities within commercial gyms, health clubs, fitness studios and other training environments. You may also choose to work independently, develop your own client base or explore online coaching opportunities as you gain experience.
