What you’ll be certified in.

A room full of stations, a group working hard, and one instructor keeping it all moving. Circuits suit every fitness level at once, and the trainers who run them well reach clients who might never book a one-to-one.

Our course gets you certified to plan and lead circuit classes, so group circuits become something you can sell alongside your one-to-one sessions.

You’ll earn a certificate in Circuit Training. It covers planning and delivering circuit sessions using a range of equipment, circuit training principles, muscle conditioning, designing circuit layouts, the role of the circuit instructor and using music to structure your sessions.

Your certificate is issued by TRAINFITNESS.

CIMSPA recognises this course as continuing professional development. CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’.

You’ll need to hold a Level 2 fitness instructing qualification. The practical elements are hands-on.

You’ll upload your portfolio. How and where you complete your practical depends on how you study — see Three ways to get certified.

TAIT™, the first AI tutor in UK fitness education, is with you around the clock for course questions, admin and anything you want to go deeper on. Ask at 11pm on a Friday and you get an answer in seconds, not on Monday.

And when you want a person, you can reach your Success Coaches by phone, email or our Help Desk, Monday to Friday.
