Getting Qualified
Careers in the Fitness Industry
There has never been a more exciting time to get into fitness. There are more fitness facilities than ever before, and more people want to look and feel better. We can look forward to living longer and all want to enjoy life to the full. Fitness professionals play a vital part in making people fitter for life. As a personal trainer you will choose where and when you work, giving you more time and flexibility for your own training and other commitments.
If you want to prioritise your own fitness, and enjoy helping others, a career in the fitness industry has everything to offer you.

Soho Gyms has been providing quality fitness facilities and training for the last 18 years, so we have experience in what it takes to be a successful personal trainer. We work on the philosophy that a wonderfully equipped school is nothing without good teachers. We have always been passionate about providing our clients with not only the very best facilities, but also outstanding instructors and personal trainers – unique and highly skilled individuals who are able to motivate and guide people towards getting the physique and healthy lifestyle that they want.
That’s why we’ve set up the Academy. The Academy’s teachers and educators have an impressive array of qualifications and experience, meaning they are well placed to provide the top- class training and support that you need in order to successfully complete your course and graduate as a confident, quality fitness professional.
We will also be offering post-graduation opportunities such as workshops designed to give you invaluable new skills and keep you ahead of the competition (outlined in our CPD workshops section), as well as potential employment opportunities at our Soho Gyms branches.
A Thriving Industry
The fitness industry has grown rapidly over the last 15 years and today is worth a staggering £4 billion, providing a vast array of career opportunities. More recently, the health club and gym industry is estimated to have experienced steady growth of 4.5% between 2007 and 2010.
As an expanding sector, the choice of careers continues to grow: from gym instructors, through to personal trainers, specialist nutritionists, and running coaches – there has never been more demand for expert tuition.
