Am I too old to become a Personal Trainer?

The simple answer is no, but that would be a short introduction to Evolve Beyond Training!

As the founder of Evolve Beyond Training (at 51 years old) myself and the team are passionate about working with the more mature learner and discuss how to become Personal Trainers. With the average age of a Personal Trainer regardless of gender currently at just under 40 years old, there is now more than ever, the need for qualified older personal trainers.

#PersonalTrainers with interpersonal skills honed through years of life experience and varied interactions result in meaningful communication, genuine attention and empathy to assist their clients in reaching realistic goals . And I'm sure you would agree the health and fitness industry would benefit from this absolute gold dust of a skill set, to be sprinkled throughout it!

Through many years of working within the health and fitness industry in various roles (PT, Assessor, Tutor, IQA, EQA, Owner of a Training Provider) within the UK and Internationally I have interacted with hundreds of learners with the most compelling back stories as to why they have embarked on a Personal Training Qualification.

Whilst all learners at any age bring their own unique skill set to the classroom, having personally engaged with many 40 & 50 years + learners the journey from the initial conversations of 'can I achieve this', and 'am I doing the right thing', then fast forward to receiving certification is the most fulfilling experience. However, receiving the certificate is really just the start of the process as the now fully qualified Personal Trainers can chisel out their niche and empower others to succeed.

The initial conversation with a learner usually reveals the individual's reasons for wanting to pursue this career, perhaps they made a change within their lifestyle due to health complications or they achieved a goal that hasn't been plain sailing.

This has then sparked their genuine desire to help others, understanding there can be barriers, challenges and set backs however, they know that with the right guidance, empathy and technical knowledge, realistic goals can be achieved.

So fast forward to 2024 and Evolve Beyond Training has been born! We specifically work with mature learners to study Personal Training qualifications. We understand the need to listen to your requirements to study and achieve the qualification. We realise it's not a one approach fits all due to many current lifestyle factors.

Therefore the first thing we ask of you, our potential learner is to have an informal chat with us to see if #PersonalTrainingQualifications would be the right fit for you.

I'm fully aware of many many reputable training providers available to study Personal Training qualifications with (I've worked with many of their staff!) and the amount of choice can be confusing. Evolve Beyond Training is the right choice for you if prefer the flexible approach to learning to fit in with your busy lifestyle. We understand that everyone has unique educational needs, which is why we listen to your requirements and create a personalised study schedule that suits your learning style and lifestyle.

Let's start with a conversation!
