    A respected personal trainer course takes the knowledge and information that a qualified personal trainer needs to have and packages it in such a way that is easy to learn and digest. The course is backed by qualified and trained educational assessors and facilitators which have knowledge in sports and fitness and who can answer any questions that students may have.

    Finally, the course and training institution will be accredited by respected health and fitness bodies. This accreditation is their stamp of approval for prospective students, telling them that when they complete the course, they will have all the knowledge that they need in order to become the best personal trainer that they can.

    Here is a list of the most respected Personal Trainer courses in South Africa

    • Personal Trainer Platinum Package
    • Personal Trainer Gold Package
    • Personal Trainer Silver Package

    It really depends on the type of personal trainer course that you choose to study. Courses such as the Gold Personal Trainer Certification Package, which is offered by Trifocus Fitness Academy, can take students between 12 and 18 months to complete. However personal training courses – such as the Personal Training Diploma – can take students up to two years to complete.

    No, it is not hard – We would prefer to say that it is challenging in a good way! To become the best at this line of work you must constantly study and practice. Becoming a personal trainer is not as easy as waving a magic wand or snapping your fingers. It takes time, dedication, and perseverance. However, if this is your life’s ambition, and it is all that you really want to do, then becoming a personal trainer is something that’s worth the hard work.

    How much you earn depends on how hard you are prepared to work. This does not just apply to your training of clients. It applies to all activities that are related to your personal training business – from how well you market yourself to how hard you train yourself. On average, Personal Trainers earn anywhere from R14,000 to R65,000 per month depending on how they structure and manage their business.

    As a starting point, you need to do an accredited personal training course. Why ‘accredited’, you may ask? If you complete an accredited Personal Trainer course, then you will be recognised in all major gyms and health facilities. Additionally, you will be able to offer your clients well researched and suitable information and exercises that they need.
