Exciting Times Ahead!
Hey everyone! We’re on the home stretch—just 70 hours left until our next course begins!

There's still time to slide into our DM's and secure your spot for this action-packed, compact course.

What to Expect… 👀
Group Discussions: This is a fantastic opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with your tutor and fellow students. These discussions will also boost your confidence when interviewing potential personal training clients and help you navigate PAR-Q forms and health and safety compliance.

Hands-On Sessions: No, not like that! We’re talking about gym equipment - understanding the various machines, their settings, and the muscle groups they target. Exciting stuff!

Practicals: You didn’t think we’d let you leave without demonstrating your knowledge, did you? Don’t worry; our practicals align with your coursework. As long as you pay attention, it’ll be a walk in the park!

Digital, Written, and Verbal Coursework: That’s right! We use all three formats because everyone learns differently. You’ll need to gather information from various sources, whether it’s through verbal discussions, apps, online data entry, or even the traditional written word. But fret not—it’s not all chalk and slate anymore! Feel free to bring a pen, notepad, and/or laptop.

Spaces are limited, as in rare - so slide into my DM's ASAP!

I'm waiting.......

You know we’re all about lending a hand and helping others here at D1 Fitness and Education, especially since some of our team work externally in charity fundraising, fitness, and education.

This academic year, we're sure to get tails wagging with excitement as we raise funds and collect food, treats, and cosy beds for the deserving pups at The Dog's Trust Darlington. This re-homing haven is pure magic, and we’re pawsitively thrilled to kick off our first drop off.

We're really excited for the coming year, so let's make it a great one!
The term starts a little earlier this year on August 30th 2025, but that means a longer Christmas break! Win!

The fitness industry isn't dying, there's close to 100 fitness job vacancies right now (within 25 miles of Durham) however, if you're in retail, you'll know that it's a scary time, hours are being cut, companies are closing down, or giving up costly leases and slashing overheads!

So why not make the switch with our easy to follow 12 week course? You can even study some of the course from home, making it ideal to fit in around work/life or family commitments. If you're coming from a retail background you'll already have customer service skills, giving you a great head start.

No experience whatsoever? No problem, our course covers EVERYTHING that you'll need to know to get your fitness journey started.

There's never a better time to add another string to your bow, increase your income opportunities or to start a side hustle.
