About UK's Largest PT Management Company Since 2008 YOUR Personal Training is the UK's largest and most established PT management company, helping Personal Trainers build thriving self-employed careers since 2008. Operating across 420+ fitness facilities nationwide, we've supported over 5,000 PTs to achieve financial independence, career growth, and work-life balance in an industry often lacking structure and genuine support. Led by Experienced Personal Trainers Under the leadership of directors Aaron McCulloch and James Lorey, both experienced PTs who've built successful training businesses themselves, YOUR Personal Training was created to solve a fundamental problem in the fitness industry: talented trainers with nowhere to grow. Today, we partner with the UK's leading leisure operators, including GLL Better, Everyone Active, Fusion Lifestyle, and Places Leisure, to give PTs access to busy gyms with members actively looking to train. Industry-Leading Credentials and Expert Support What sets us apart is our proven infrastructure. Our Regional PT Managers aren't generic business advisors: they're successful PTs who've built thriving businesses themselves and now dedicate their expertise to mentoring the next generation. We're proud CIMSPA Employer and Training Partners, Active iQ affiliates, and maintain industry-leading partnerships with NASM, Castore, Applied Nutrition, Technogym, and Myzone. These credentials ensure every PT receives professional-grade support that's recognised across the fitness sector. Proven Results: Highest PT Earnings and Retention in the UK The numbers speak for our commitment: we invest over £3,000 into every PT from day one, offer the industry's longest rent-free period at six weeks, and deliver the highest average PT earnings in the UK. Our trainers stay with us for an average of 30+ months (three times longer than typical gym-employed PTs) because we provide ongoing mentoring, career progression pathways, and capped trainer numbers that protect your earning potential. From newly qualified Personal Trainers to experienced PTs earning £50K-£60K+ annually, we provide the platform, tools, and community to help you define your own success.

Building Personal Training Careers That Last Whether you're newly qualified and launching your first PT business, or an experienced trainer at a commercial gym with no career support, YOUR Personal Training connects ambition with opportunity. We don't just offer Personal Trainer jobs - we build careers that last! How much do Personal Trainers earn in the UK? Personal Trainers in the UK earn an average advertised salary of £30,700 a year, according to data published by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), the UK chartered body for the fitness profession. The figure reflects full-time employed roles; the UK government's National Careers Service describes Personal Trainer earnings as "variable", with most UK Personal Trainers self-employed and earning significantly more. Trainers who work with YOUR Personal Training earn an average 38% above the CIMSPA figure, with established Personal Trainers exceeding £50,000 and top performers reaching £60,000+ through our business mentoring and capped trainer model. What does 'self-employed PT' mean? A self-employed Personal Trainer keeps 100% of their earnings and runs their own business. Unlike salaried gym employees, you set your own rates, choose your hours, and build your own client base. With YOUR Personal Training, you get the best of both worlds - complete financial independence while working within established gym partnerships. You're essentially a business owner operating in professional fitness facilities, with full support but no
