We continue to operate as normal and lead the industry from the front. PT Academy is the leading fitness education company in the UK and over the last three years we have invested heavily in the use of digital technology for our learners to use. This has enabled us to pioneer new exciting pathways all of our learners can benefit from.

PT Academy benefits from over 150 mentors nationwide and a team of 20 in head office who all support our learners. Please visit our meet the team page to see who they are.

The CPD courses in no shape or form effect the level 2 gym instructing or level 3 personal training qualifications which can be done 100% online at home.
We are working with partners to enable access to some courses for example we have teamed up with TRX to offer our learners a complimentary place on the online TRX course.
