How to become a personal trainer in Rugby

If you live in Rugby or anywhere in Warwickshire, 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 Rugby and Warwickshire, or start your own personal training business.

The Rugby fitness scene

Working as a personal trainer in Rugby

Rugby is one of Warwickshire's biggest towns, with around 115,000 people in the borough and lots of new housing bringing in young families and commuters. A growing town is a good place to start out, because new residents are often looking for a gym and a trainer.

The town has gyms to suit everyone, from budget chains to premium health clubs with pools, a council leisure centre and independent gyms. Price guides put personal training in Warwickshire at roughly £30–£40 a session, so many trainers combine one-to-one sessions with small groups and online coaching.

Coventry, Lutterworth and Daventry are all within easy reach, so you can build a client base across the area rather than relying on one gym.

Budget and big gymsJD Gyms on Newbold Road and Everlast Gyms on Webb Ellis Road.
Health clubsDavid Lloyd at Clifton upon Dunsmore and Nuffield Health at Junction 1 Retail Park.
Independent gymsXtreme Fitness on Paynes Lane, Fitness Worx on Cottage Leap and No Limits Gym on Hillmorton Road.
Leisure centreThe Queen's Diamond Jubilee Centre on Bruce Williams Way.

Examples of where a qualified PT could work in and around Rugby. Pro-Fitness Academy is not affiliated with these gyms.
