What you’ll be certified in.

The trainers with the busiest weeks aren’t limited by the gym floor. They take sessions outside, run groups in parks and open spaces, and give clients a workout they look forward to.

Our outdoor fitness course shows you how to plan, programme and deliver safe, effective group sessions outdoors. So you can add bootcamps and outdoor classes to what you sell, with a whole group booked into the same hour.

You’ll earn a certificate in Outdoor Fitness. It covers outdoor health and safety, adapting exercises to the training environment, choosing the right type of session, and running and marketing your outdoor classes.

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 record your practical on video and upload it with your portfolio.

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.
