Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Everyone Active are looking for a determined and passionate individual to do their Enhanced Personal Trainer L3 Apprenticeship.

The Personal Trainer Level 3 programme will allow you to demonstrate industry leading professional practice, providing specialist tailored advice and guidance to customers.

Within the gym you'll be getting hands on practical experience and planning member inductions as well as being responsible for maintaining high standards of cleanliness in the member's area.

As an Apprentice Personal Trainer you will ensure that you and your team provide a stimulating environment for current members, whilst integrating new members.

You will also learn how to:

Reflect on and develop on your own ability to instruct exercise and physical activity
Promote health and safety and welfare in the gym environment
Work with clients to help them exercise effectively
Plan and prepare gym based exercise
Instruct and supervise gym based exercise

What your apprenticeship includes:

A mixture of face to face and remote catch ups every 4 - 6 weeks
A mixture of on and off the job training, including workshops and webinars
Reviews every 12 weeks with the Apprentice, Line Manager and Lifetime Trainer
Feedback sessions to discuss progress
Obtain Functional Skills in English and maths (if you don't already have GCSE or equivalents)
16 hours paid work every week

If you don't already hold a Gym Instructor Level 2 qualification, we offer an enhanced version of the Personal Trainer Level 3 apprenticeship that includes the IAO Certificate in Gym Instructing Level 2 qualification.

Progression within the company is a core value, and on completion of your apprenticeship you will have plenty of opportunities to progress and develop within the company.

This is a part-time position, and you will be required to work a minimum of 16 hours per week on a shift basis at your designated centre. You will receive on-going training and benefit from free use of the gym and swimming pool.

At Everyone Active you will work towards your Enhanced Personal Trainer L3 apprenticeship qualification over the course of 18 - 24 months.
