    Hey im doing a level 2 gym instructors course which will lead to doing a level 3 personal trainer course once i pass my exams in Jan... I am doing it with a company called Focus Training. Their HQ is based in Bolton but do it all over the country i believe....

    So far they have been fantastic... The course cost £2500 give or take a few hundred cant quite remember now as my employer paid for 80% of the course for me...



    My advice would be go for it! I am also a spin instructor too and the more courses you can do the better it will be in the long run



    Have fun!

    I would also approach a local gym/leisure centre & see if you can shadow an instructor for a few sessions to get a taste & help to develop your 'style'..plaese don't become the 'counting instructor'...I threaten the sack to anyone I hear saying '8, 9....teeeeen..one more one more' more than once as session, or send them on a trip to buy an effective coaching book.
