Backed by the Factory Weights PT Academy
Industry Network to Help You Land Work
Expert Tutor Support at Every Stage
You know fitness is your calling. You just need the qualification to prove it.
Maybe you've transformed your own health and want to help others do the same. Maybe you're tired of the 9-to-5 and ready for work that actually means something. Or maybe you just know, deep down, that you were built to coach people.
The problem isn't passion. The problem is knowing where to start, what qualification is actually worth having, and who will support you once you've got it.
That's exactly why we built the Factory Weights PT Academy.

"I had no fitness qualifications and no idea where to start. Within three months I had my Level 3 and my first paying client. The tutor support made all the difference."
"I'd been going to the gym for years and always thought about becoming a PT. The Factory Weights Academy made it actually happen — the online format meant I could study while working full-time."
"What I didn't expect was the network. The connections I got through Factory Weights are what helped me land my first gym role."
Questions we get asked a lot
Do I need any prior experience or qualifications?
None at all. Our course is designed to take you from complete beginner to fully qualified PT. If you have the drive, we have the programme.

It depends on how much time you can put in, but most students complete both qualifications within a few months. There's no fixed deadline — you study at a pace that works for you.
Is the qualification actually recognised?
Yes. Both the Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications are fully accredited and recognised across the UK fitness industry, including by gyms and major health clubs.
What support will I get while I'm studying?

Will I be able to get a job after qualifying?
