What you’ll be certified in.

Gloves on, pads up, and a client who’s forgotten they’re doing cardio. Padwork gives clients a session they look forward to, with no boxing experience needed, and the trainers who can run it keep those clients coming back.

Our course gets you certified to coach padwork, so it becomes a session you can sell on its own or build into the training you already run.

You’ll earn a certificate in Padwork Training. It covers programming padwork sessions, striking and footwork, boxing techniques, conditioning with supporting bodyweight exercises, myofascial release, and prehabilitation and rehabilitation strategies.

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.
