Fitness Professional Toolkit Course
As competition in the fitness industry increases, so do the expectations of clients and potential clients. Therefore, all personal trainers and gym instructors must continue to add new strings to their bow to improve on their current offering, which in turn will help to better the client experience and help to bring new ones on board.
To be at the forefront of fitness innovation, you’ll need Continuous Professional Development training courses.
What are Continuous Professional Development courses?
More commonly referred to as CPD courses, these help you to gain skills and knowledge in more specialist areas of the fitness industry.
This will enable you to stand out from the crowd due to acquired extra theory and enhanced practical experience. In turn, this can also help you to acquire a higher salary.
Figures show that the UK the number of fitness instructors in the UK has been growing at around 2.3% year on year between 2014 and 2019, with an estimated 57,000 active instructors in the country.
However, of these, it has been suggested by ibisWorld that 78% are missing commercial acumen, while other research has found that those who’ve undertaken CPD courses have a higher chance of promotion, or moving on to different areas within the industry.
Therefore, partaking in a CPD course at Focus Training, such as our Fitness Professional Toolkit Course could significantly help you and your clients.
