If you live in Milton Keynes or anywhere in Buckinghamshire, 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.

Working as a personal trainer in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is one of England's best-known new towns, with grid roads, miles of redways and plenty of parks and lakes. It has a fast-growing population of young families and working professionals, and a growing place like this is a good market for a personal trainer.

There are gyms right across the city, from big chains in Central Milton Keynes and Bletchley to a lakeside health club and a large independent gym at Kiln Farm. Price guides put personal training in Buckinghamshire at roughly £45–£60 a session, so a few regular clients go a long way.

Newport Pagnell, Olney, Buckingham and Leighton Buzzard are all within easy reach, so you can take on clients across the area, train people outdoors, or add online coaching alongside your sessions.

Big gymsThe Gym Group at Elder Gate, JD Gyms on Snowdon Drive and Fitness First in Bletchley.
Health clubsNuffield Health on Marlborough Gate and Willen Lake Health Club.
