Started with no relevant qualifications after completing our extensive course Kerri now works in one of London’s leading gyms!

KeRRI’S SUCCeSS StORy

Q1 – What were you doing before you decided to become a Personal Trainer?

I was working in a school, supporting students with additional educational needs. I adored my job and got on well with everyone. I was into going to the gym and had been for a while. I was enjoying fitness because it was helping me transform my body and allow it to do things I’d never been able to do before. I also love the way it helps with mental health - I found it helped me in times of sadness and trauma and provided a form of escape. The gym had very quickly become my happy place. I love helping people - that is evident from my previous job. It seemed like the obvious future career for me would be to train to become a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer so I could help others in an environment I am extremely passionate about.

READ MORE

Q2 – Why did you choose UK Sports Training?

I worked out at David Lloyd Clubs and had seen the tutors and pupils in the gym wearing their UK Sports Training tops. It seemed like a sign that I’d been considering doing the course for a while and was unsure where to start, and here was the opportunity literally right in front of me! Everyone always looked happy and like they were having fun and the tutors looked approachable which was good.

Q3 – How did you find learning with us and what parts did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the whole course although I did get myself stressed, worrying I wasn’t going to do well! I am a natural worrier! My tutor (Denise) was brilliant. You could contact her any time and she’d get back to you as soon as she could. She was very supportive. Funnily enough, when I was younger, I didn’t like science. It seemed confusing to me. However, I really embraced the theory side of the course and flourished when learning about Anatomy and Physiology. I enjoyed the practical side too, but knew that I would because of my love of working out. I went on to obtain 100% in my Level 2 Anatomy and Physiology exam and 98% in my Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology exam which I’m extremely proud of!

From Basketball Coach to becoming one of the highest paid PT’s in the whole of The David Lloyd Gym Group.

Q1 – What were you doing before you decided to become a Personal Trainer?

Before becoming a PT, I was coaching basketball in an elite basketball program in Hertfordshire. As basketball was a big passion of mine I wanted to give back to the game that gave me a lot of life lessons. However, I knew I wanted to teach but preferred the times when I was teaching 1 to 1 rather than a big group of people. So that led me nicely into wanting to do Personal Training.Q2 – Why did you choose UK Sports Training?

One of my friends mentioned the company to me in passing during a conversation many months previous and when I was looking for someone to do my course with, I weighed up my options between Premiere Fitness, YMCA and UK Sports Training and we know how that song and dance went.

Q3 – How did you find learning with us and what parts did you most enjoy?

The learning process was fairly straight forward, very structured and was very well delivered. I put that all down to the UK Sports Team but It’s the valiant effort from Lucy, the class teacher, spear heading the show, that I have to thank for where I am. She Placed a lot of faith in me and my abilities, having someone there in your corner from the start is a big help and found her teaching very easy to follow and have it stick in my mind.

If any new students are lucky enough to get Lucy as their teacher, just know that you’re in great hands as long as you put in the work as well.

A stay at home mum suffering from mental health issues to fully qualified personal trainer!

Mel’S SUCCeSS StORy

Q1 – What were you doing before you decided to become a Personal Trainer?

I was a stay at home mum who was continuously battling a mental illness, howeverI found exercise to help greatly. After this discovery I began to take numerous classesat the gym, took up long distance running, which then resulted in a 9 1/2 stone weightloss and a passion for fitness.

Q2 – Why did you choose UK Sports Training?

I chose UK Sports Training as I was a body for a friend’s exam and found the experience as a whole to be very pleasant. The environment, staff and people there were amazing, and I came home that day inspired. After that I desired to become a PT however I lacked the confidence, due to my struggles with mental illness and still being a plus sized lady. Through talking with Denise and Kristi, they gave me the confidence and ensured me the support I needed with my mental health.

Q3 – How did you find learning with us and what parts did you most enjoy?

I thoroughly enjoyed learning with UK Sports because of the amazing people who continued to support me, who were not treating me as a burden. I loved the theory side of the course the most due to what an excellent tutor Denise had been. She gave us visuals and rhymes to assist our learning, and overall taught us in an extremely effective way. Denise and Jon were very supportive even though I made it difficult or challenging at times for them (with my anxiety attacks) yet they continued to help me. Overall learning with UK Sports has been one of the best experiences of my life.

After working as a chef for 3 years Jeffrey knew he had to follow his passion and become a personal trainer.

JeffRey’S SUCCeSS StORy

Q1 – What were you doing before you decided to become a Personal Trainer?

Before I decide to make the switch over to personal training I was working as a sous chef in central London in a Korean restaurant, I know it sounds a bit different because my past history has always been around sports. I studied sports science in college then went and done sports therapy in university so heading up in a restaurant in central London was a surprise for me too, after 3 years of that I decided I had to make the switch and a friend recommended I get into personal training as I would really enjoy it and the rest as you say is history.

Q2 – Why did you choose UK Sports Training?

A friend of mine done the course with UK sport’s and told me how good the tutors was and how fun they made it so it was a little easier to take it in and learn the course so I thought I definitely have to do it with them and also you could get it funded too so I had no excuse not to go through with it.

Q1 – What were you doing before you decided to become a Personal Trainer?

Before becoming a Personal Trainer, I worked for Transport for London (TfL).

Q2 – Why did you choose UK Sports Training?

After looking around for a few months, I chose UK Sports Training because of the variety of payment options they offered, location of the course and the days suited me perfectly.

Q3 – How did you find learning with us and what parts did you most enjoy?

I found learning with UK Sports Training very supportive, understanding and encouraging. From Jon at the office to our tutor, Denise, they were all phenomenal. I didn’t only get support in class; I could also contact Denise anytime during the week if I needed help with my work.

As a class of 10 students, Denise gave each individual the support and praise we needed which kept us pushing to achieve our goals. Denise managed to balance teaching us in such a way that the course was educational and entertaining. She is full of knowledge and good energy, this motivated us to keep going and push beyond our comfort zones.

I really enjoyed leaning new theories, techniques, and teaching points themost. I also valued getting to know my classmates as we exchanged knowledge and shared experiences.

I secured a job with DW Fitness First which I am loving and I’m also considering taking an internship to get more experience as a PT for the “be active project” in Indonesia which I was offered after receiving my PT qualification.

Q5 – What advice would you give anyone looking to start a career in Personal Training?

If fitness is your passion and you cannot think about anything else then don’t be afraid and become a PT. Don’t wait! You can help change someone’s future and that feeling is unforgettable. Do it!

Q4 – What are you doing now that you have qualified as a Personal Trainer?

I am now in my 6 month as a Personal Trainer and am currently working at The Gym Group at Chadwell Heath whom have a partnership with UK Sports Training.

As soon as I qualified I pretty much did not waste any time and used my skills that I had learnt and started my career, I have to give a lot of credit to UK Sports training that helped facilitate an interview with The Gym Group.
