Pure Series

We know that the most successful PTs are always seeking new ways of engaging their clients by bringing innovation to their fitness regimes. That’s why, this month we are very excited to be launching our ‘PURE SERIES’, a range of one day Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops.

The fitness industry is renowned for developing fresh ways to exercise but not all of them stand the test of time. However, our ‘PURE SERIES’ will identify the most popular training methods and give you the skills and knowledge to pass them on to your clients.

To celebrate the launch we’ve got a fantastic offer that will save you £50 when you book two workshops on consecutive days. Don’t miss it!

Kettlebell exercises are an excellent way to improve total body conditioning utilising momentum and gravity to challenge your cardiovascular and muscular systems.

Initially the techniques may be hard to learn but the rewards in calorific expenditure, core and total body conditioning are well worth it!

The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Personal Trainers

Success leaves clues. It’s not this great mystery and it’s not so elusive that you can’t achieve the success that you want. If you search for these clues you can learn from those who have gone before you; learn the actions, the behaviours, the strategies that will take you where you want to go.

I have interviewed and observed a number of very successful personal trainers in my search for clues and to discover what it is they do on a regular basis that is different to the average PT out there. These 7 habits I’m going to share with you now are the ones that are shared by every successful PT I know.
