Meet our tutors

Our tutors are passionate about health & fitness and are experts in their fields. They all come from a personal training background so can offer first hand advice and guidance. Here’s what some of tutors have to say about working at The Training Room.

Melissa Skipp Head IV & Emma Norton Training Manager

Our mission statement at The Training Room is “to recruit, train, develop and manage elite Health and Fitness Professionals in accordance with the needs of the industry and our corporate partners” This is achieved through the delivery of fast track courses designed to get individuals in to the industry with a detailed level of knowledge in a short space of time. In addition we provide our students with qualifications such as Studio Cycling, Gym Based Boxing and Circuits to enable them to teach classes and given them an insight in to Sports Nutrition and Business…
In addition to our fast track course, we also offer alternative courses – we offer a blended learning course which is delivered over 7 weekends over 6 months and we have recently launched an e-learning package which is completely distance learning with tutor support – you only need come in for assessments and exams..
All of the above are delivered by a superb group of tutors – all of whom have been where you are…we have all been through the qualification and worked in the industry. So we fully understand what you are going through and how challenging everything can seem…. we will share with you how we got in to the industry and what worked for us. Whilst you are on the course we will get your CV distributed to all our corporate partners and once you have left there is on-going support. You can even come back and attend the course again if you need a refresher.
The Health and Fitness industry is one of the most rewarding industries to be in – it truly helps people achieve their goals and experience a better quality of life. At The Training Room we want you to be part of this and look forward to welcoming you in to this industry soon!!!!

The job satisfaction is truly empowering, to be responsible for somebody’s health and fitness goals.

Abdullah Ahmed Northern Regional Tutor

I qualified as a Personal Trainer through The Training Room and enjoyed helping other fellow students on my course and felt very comfortable with the layout of the 6 weeks intensive course so I followed it up by becoming a tutor with The Training Room PT to help train others to qualify as personal trainers.

Craig Upton London Regional Tutor

Through the Training Room I qualified as a PT and utilised my skills in the Fitness industry before coming full circle and returning to work for the Training room as a Tutor. Since then I have worked all over the country setting up and running many different academies and helping hundreds of other people achieve their qualifications. I have now worked my way up to a position of Regional Manager and I am responsible for the overseeing of all our academies in London and the surrounding areas.

Working within the industry provides such variety that you can’t get bored – no two days are the same! I get to meet so many different personalities, and spend my time doing something I love whilst staying fit – not many jobs offer that.
