Training provider, Premier Global NASM, has collaborated with PT management company, Your Personal Training (YPT), to deliver a streamlined career pathway from qualification to application as a personal trainer.

Strategically, the partnership aims to continue to professionalise the role of the personal trainer and to develop career sustainability and advancement. Aspiring fitness professionals will be able to access training and certification through Premier Global NASM, including the Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training, and follow this with Your Personal Training’s career, business and marketing CPD programmes, enabling newly qualified personal trainers to onboard with a YPT role immediately.

James Lorey, Operations Director, Your Personal Training, says: “This partnership is the coming together of two PT industry greats, and we’re excited about the opportunities available for newly qualified PTs powered by Premier Global NASM.

“The partnership will give potential PT’s, thinking of completing Premier Global NASM’s training, the confidence that their qualification investment will be worth it, as there will be a guaranteed role, a community, career support, and the best PT’s salaries in the industry available to them on completion.

“Following their qualification, YPT’s onboarding programmes will be offered upfront and at no cost to the PT, allowing us to onboard PTs straight into clubs, but more importantly, offering career support that will ensure the PTs feel valued and stay at their club. We know this investment in our PTs works, as we have the highest duration of stay in a club at 28.5 months compared to an industry average of just six months, with our PTs also earning 38% more than similar industry roles.

“As well as offering PTs the opportunity to run and manage their own PT business, Your Personal Training also offers a proven career progression pathway, with many trainers progressing to PT managers, master trainers or even company directors.

Dan Rees, Managing Director, Premier Global NASM, says: When committing to a qualification, many learners seek reassurance that their investment will lead to job and career opportunities. By teaming up with Your Personal Training, the UK’s largest PT management company with work placement opportunities up and down the country, our learners are provided with the confidence and support they need to start and build a lifelong career in the fitness industry. At Premier Global NASM, our aim is always to support our learners way beyond the classroom and this latest partnership is a great example of how we are achieving this.”
