The Training Room is here to give you advice and guidance into what you can expect to be doing in your brand new Personal Training career.
What do Personal Trainers do - what are the five main Personal Trainer duties?
We’ve picked out our top five key duties in order to become the best Personal Trainer you can be:
- Fitness knowledge - you’ll need to be clued up on exercise practice, nutrition and how the human body works. All of this and much more will be covered during our Expert Personal Training course
- The ability to educate and motivate - it will be your duty to teach and help your clients achieve their fitness goals which will vary from person to person
- Be your own boss! - although you may be employed by a gym or fitness centre, most Personal Trainers are self-employed. This means you’ll have to use your own initiative when setting your client’s fitness plans and goals
- Safety first - it is part of a Personal Trainer’s responsibility to ensure your clients are safe during their fitness regimes. All the correct safety procedures will be taught in The Training Room’s Personal Training courses

saying about us
I’ve just completed my course via the E-learning academy and I want to thank Nick Hewett, my tutor for his exceptional guidance and support. He always responded to my emails and marked my work submissions very promptly, giving really helpful feedback. Couldn’t have asked any more of him.

I just completed my L3 PT Diploma as an e-learning course. It was the perfect option to be able to self-pace my study and coursework as I couldn’t commit to a purely weekday or weekend course, and could do my work when it suited me. The training room provides ample resources for self-study, and a tutor who is always there to help. Hasit Jethwa, my tutor, was excellent at answering any of my questions quickly and was really clear and useful in letting me know what I needed to do! Having Hasit as my tutor really added to my experience of qualifying with The Training Room. Thank you!

I’ve just received a Pass for my theory exams, so thought a review would be a good commemoration!
I took the Hybrid Course; a weekly live lecture on Zoom, coursework on Google Classroom. My tutor Hasit Jethwa is a Physio and amongst other accomplishments. He is highly knowledgeable, a self - confessed nutrition nerd, eloquent, and a pleasure to interact with. I really enjoyed my course, and have taken away so much to carry on learning.
It’s a flexible course style which fitted around my lifestyle and other commitments well. L4 Nutrition here I come.

My tutor Liz Shaw has been an absolute diamond! Her support and encouragement throughout the course has made my experience at the training room better than could have imagined. Defo lucked out with her as my tutor. Her knowledge and background in personal training and dance is strong and her teaching style is solid! Thank you Liz and big thanks to the training room!

I've just completed the L3 Diploma in Personal Training with the Training Room and would highly recommend it. I took the hybrid option which meant I could fit the work in around working full time.
The tutors were really knowledgeable and supportive throughout the course, and I wanted to give a special shout out to Mark Fox who was just amazing. Mark really knows his stuff and gave us so much help and support in the online lectures, but also any time I reached out to him. He was really quick to respond, and although I'd finished the teaching part of the course I still felt I had support whenever I needed it.
This qualification really is going to change my life and I can't wait to get going. Thanks again to the Training Room and Mark.
