What could you earn as a PT?
Move the sliders to match how you'd like to coach, and add group or online clients if you want. You'll see what you could earn once you're qualified.
Part time is up to 20 sessions a week; full time is 20+. Sessions are usually 45 minutes to an hour.
We don't recommend charging less than £40 per session.
4 people per group, so each session earns £80.
Online clients get a programme, check-ins and support through an app, so you can coach far more people than in person.
Estimates only, before tax and business costs, based on working 48 weeks a year. What you earn will depend on your clients, prices and location.

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot
PFA is a great company - high standard of communication with students, 1-on-1 tutor support whenever it's needed, and the online portal is very easy to use.
Fantastic training that was adaptable and allowed me to train at my own speed. I really loved the ease of the process and the weekly support/feedback sessions helped a lot.
From the consultation, to the secondary call as well as the onboarding call. I felt that they were there for ME. I felt valued and everything was being considered.
The course is very well structured and easy to follow. Constant support and they even have amazing events to attend and learn more from professionals and network with people in the same position as you.
