Level 3 Personal Trainer Apprenticeship

We are not looking for someone that knows it all already, we are looking for someone who is willing to listen and learn from some of the best personal trainers in Newcastle. In addition, we are looking for someone who is energetic, not shy but friendly and patient with clients. It is important to have good rapport, build trust and long-term relationships with clients.

It can be really tough starting out in the fitness industry (with 80% of new personal trainers failing to make it work!). Expect anti-social hours and starting out with some of the boring jobs initially, cleaning, tidying up the gym etc. But at Roots we WILL drop you in the deep end. We will have you in real sessions shadowing a professional personal trainer and very quickly you will find yourself responsible for your own clients. This is in addition to the fully funded level 3 personal training qualification you will receive (remote learning with in-person examinations). This combination will set you up for a bright career in the fitness industry.
