How to become a personal trainer in Epsom

If you live in Epsom or anywhere in Surrey, you can qualify as a personal trainer without travelling to a classroom every week. Our Level 2 & 3 Combined Diploma in Personal Training is taught through a fully video-based learning platform, so you study from home at your own pace.

You get a dedicated 1-to-1 mentor, weekly live support calls and monthly workshops. Theory exams are taken online, and you can film your practical assessment and upload it, so there's no need to travel for that either.

Most students qualify in 10–12 weeks studying around 3 hours a week. Once qualified, you can work in gyms across Epsom and Surrey, or start your own personal training business.

The Epsom fitness scene

Working as a personal trainer in Epsom

Epsom is a busy market town on the edge of the Surrey Hills, famous for its racecourse and home to plenty of commuters, young professionals and families. Ewell, Stoneleigh and the surrounding villages add a large, settled population that takes its health seriously.

For a town its size, Epsom has a strong choice of places to train, from a premium health club and a 24-hour gym to boutique studios on the high street and a council leisure centre. Price guides put personal training in Surrey at roughly £35–£45 a session, and premium sessions in affluent areas can command more.

Ewell, Ashtead, Sutton and Leatherhead are all close by, so you can build a client base across north Surrey, train people outdoors on the Downs, or add online coaching alongside your sessions.
