Take the first step in Personal Trainer career
ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW REWARDING CAREER
AS A PERSONAL TRAINER?
Let me take a few guesses to see if we’re on the same page.
Fitness has become your thing, in fact getting into the gym and training has kinda put the rest of your life into perspective.
If you have an office job right now all day all you can think of is “Is it gym o’clock yet?? “
like I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard people say “I watch the clock all day in work until it’s time to hit the gym”
Sound about right?
Now there is a good chance that many of the people who used to pass judgement on the way you eat are now asking for advice.
Maybe your family are inspired by your motivation, dedication and, results that they’re asking how they should start looking after themselves.
Everyone down the gym sees you as the go-to person to ask for advice or to train with and pick up a few tips.
You’re probably getting a few DM’s and comments daily from people who you inspire, saying they wish you would take all this more seriously cause they’d love to work with you.
The best thing about all of this is
- Helping people grow by sharing what you know feels amazing.
- You feel like a brand new person doing it.
- It feels good to know that what you’ve learned to this point can help people even if it’s just in some small way.
- You get excited by the idea that you can help people make healthier choices, you’re helping them get in shape and look after themselves better
That’s when you start thinking that this hobby could be more.
See taking control of your fitness and health can show you how much potential you have to change things in your life, to be happier to find meaning and purpose. To make a difference
And so, you start to imagine what life would be like if you were doing this full time….
Like what if every day you got up, and while everyone else was heading to the office to sit all day in front of a computer screen, you were heading to the gym to take the morning sessions with your clients
Wouldn’t that be awesome? You’re thinking to yourself.
That’s cause to people like you and I this is a hobby.
All you have are questions and not a lot of concrete answers
- “Like how do I even start?”
- “DO I need to spend 3 years doing a degree course before I’m ready?"
- “What’s these Personal Training courses for what’s all this about REPS Ireland ?”
- “What about Strength and conditioning I heard that was important.”
- I totally get it cause I had the exact same questions and worries when I started

Maybe a better question to ask here would be what kind of trainer do you want to be?
Do you just want to hang a cert on your wall so you can call yourself a PT on Facebook?
If so, you can gain a cheap online cert from numerous places and save yourself a tonne of effort and money.
However, if you want certainty in your ability to actually do what it says on there?
Then you’re going to need more than a piece of paper with your name on it. You’re going to need real hands-on experience and hours of coaching immersion. I.e. actually coaching in a live gym with real people under the eyes of a master coach.
That is the only way to create the learning opportunity to grow into the trainer or coach you want to become. This will make investments of energy, time and money for you to gain.
If that’s what you want. You’ve come to the right place. The Elite coaching certification surpasses anything on the market today because the education is taken directly from a client tested and results proven facility with a decade of experience.
================================================
Elite Fitness & Performance Academy courses are recognized in the EU, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and UAE. REPS Ireland is aligned to the European Qualification Framework and REPS Ireland is a part of the ICREPS organisation that connects exercise professional registers in UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and UAE.
The certificates for our short continuing education courses have CPD points assigned to them, and as such, you can also register them on the REPs website.
If you travel to work in another country, you can apply to register in the REPs organisation of that country by enquiring to REPs Ireland on reps@ilam.ie. They will guide you through a transfer to another country’s register.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work, beyond any initial training. It’s a record of what you experience, learn and then apply. The term is generally used to mean a physical folder or portfolio documenting your development as a professional and is the means by which people maintain their knowledge and skills related to their professional lives.
The CPD accreditation on our courses show that you have continued with a line of study beyond your initial study to meet the guidelines outlined by a certain body.
Elite Coaching certification is delivered in a blended learning style
Meaning you can gain access to the material once you’re application has been approved and begin your learning journey right away.
You will have a course mentor assigned to you who can see your progress and can help support and direct you all along the way.
Once you’re ready, you can book the practical coaching delivery of the course using the course dates on the website.

No previous experience is required. However, physical fitness is required, and training experience will be beneficial. We expect students to fully complete all practical sessions and be ready to go.
All of our courses require physical exertion and individual participation is essential. Therefore a degree of physical fitness is necessary. There is also an element of communication (discussing, presenting, reading and writing) involved, and candidates should have basic skills in communication.
If you fail a theory exam you can repeat it 1-2 times depending on the module. A fee of €35 applies. If you fail all attempts you will need to resit the whole module again on the next available course. This must be done within 2 months
If you fail a practical exam you can repeat it twice. A fee of €100 applies.
All repeat exams need to be scheduled with the Course Coordinator. Payment must be made before the repeat exam date.
A pen/pencil and notebook. Your manual will be supplied on the day. Some people complain they do not know how to structure classes after their training has been delivered and these people are the same ones who come without pen or notebook and don’t take notes.
There will be a lot of material covered on courses that will require complete concentration and effort to gain the most from the course, so you will need to take plenty of notes to look back on!
Surgical/hockey tape (only for Kettlebell Courses): This is to protect your hands from minor tears or abrasions. This can be bought in any chemist for a few euros so please purchase and bring this small but very useful piece of equipment. It will save your hands after two days of lifting.
