Danny Williams, Michael Griffiths and Reshmin Chowdhury take up TRAINFITNESS’ free PT courses

2021 has been dubbed the year of the ‘Great Resignation’, with numerous people in the UK reassessing their career path.

To prepare for new demand, award-winning personal training (PT) provider TRAINFITNESS is set to offer enrolment to its expert-led courses for free.

People with an interest in exploring a career in the health and fitness industry will have the opportunity to earn a PT qualification (or one of the 30+ other health and fitness qualifications also available) while they potentially stay in their current job.

In a bold move that is expected to shake up the PT education industry, TRAINFITNESS has partnered with cAmpus to give everyone new to PT – and those already qualified as PTs – the chance to develop and gain new skills, without having to break the bank.

PT courses can cost anywhere up to £3,000 so this is a unique opportunity to make positive changes in 2022 without significant investment.

The free enrolment to courses launched in January 2022 at TRAINFITNESS’ official website.

The courses can be completed 24/7, seven-days-a-week, in person or online.

Celebrities and PTs alike have been quick to take up a course with TRAINFITNESS:

PT Michael ‘Mac’ Griffiths added: “I’ve committed a lot of time and effort into qualifying as not only a personal trainer but as a coach allowing me to help people better their lives, so the fact I have the opportunity to further enhance my skills by enrolling on cAmpus for free is amazing.

"Doing the Level 4 Strength & Conditioning course with cAmpus and then completing my training and assessment with TRAINFITNESS to become certified allows me to add yet another tool to my skill sheet.

"The fact that their courses fit in and around my current work schedule makes my life that bit easier.”

Danny Williams, a Level Three qualified PT boasting both a VIP and celebrity client base, says he’s always looking to increase his knowledge, qualifications and offering to his clients.

“I’ve got loads in the pipeline at the moment so being able to up-skill in certain areas in between everything else I have going on has been amazing,” he says.

“Other programmes didn’t fit in with my schedule and just didn’t work for me, I needed something flexible but of a high standard and this has more than delivered.”

Television presenter Reshmin Chowdhury added: “I'm always looking to add another string to my bow, and I'm passionate about fitness, so doing a PT qualification with TRAINFITNESS has been a no-brainer.

“The fact the training is free is just the icing on the cake.”

Commenting on the fact that so many athletes want to earn a PT qualification while they’re still competing, TRAINFITNESS co-founder Steele Williams said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer enrolment for PT training or any one of our 30+ health and fitness courses to anyone that wants to pick up a new skill and enhance their own existing qualifications around their current job or work.

“We’re incredibly grateful that professional athletes and PT’s alike are jumping at the chance to train with us, and work towards their new qualifications.”
