1 REP MAX, STRENGTH, HYPERTROPHY OR ENDURANCE… do you know the difference? 👀

If you’re learning to become a Fitness Coach or Personal Trainer, this is something you NEED to understand.

🏋️ 1 REP MAX (1RM)
This is the maximum amount of weight you can successfully lift for ONE repetition with correct technique.

Your 1RM can then be used to help determine appropriate training intensity depending on your client’s goal.

⚡ MAX STRENGTH
The goal = increasing the maximum force a muscle can produce.
Think heavier loads, lower reps and longer recovery.

💪 HYPERTROPHY
The goal = increasing muscle size.
Think appropriate resistance, sufficient training volume and progressive overload.

🔥 MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
The goal = repeatedly producing force and resisting fatigue.
Think lighter loads, higher reps and shorter recovery.

And THIS is why programming isn’t just:

“3 sets of 10.”

A great coach understands WHY they’re choosing the reps, sets, load and rest period.

Your client’s goal should determine the programme — not your favourite workout.

I’m looking for 5 women. 👀💛🖤

Women who LOVE the feeling that fitness has given them… and now want to give that feeling to somebody else.

You do NOT need to be the fittest person in the room.

You don’t need abs.
You don’t need years of experience.
You don’t need to look a certain way.

You just need that fire in you that says:

“I want to help other women feel stronger, happier and more confident in themselves.”

Because some of the BEST coaches aren’t the people who have always found fitness easy.

They’re the people who understand what it feels like to walk into a gym nervous.

To lack confidence.

To start from scratch.

And then discover what they’re actually capable of. ❤️

I want 5 women who are ready to turn that passion into a qualification and learn how to help other women do the same.

We’ll teach you the coaching.

We’ll teach you the knowledge.

We’ll help you build the confidence.

You bring the passion. We’ll help with the rest.

If you just read this and thought “That sounds like me…”

I want to speak to YOU.

5 women. Let’s do this. 🔥

This is probably the most personal post I’ve shared.

People see me assessing learners, internally verifying qualifications, coaching and running Make Me A PT…

But they don’t always know how I got here.

I studied Motorsport Engineering because I thought that’s what success looked like.

I got the degree.

I got the career.

But every spare moment I was thinking about training.

The gym changed my confidence.

It changed my mindset.

Eventually it changed my entire life.

Walking away from engineering wasn’t easy.

There were plenty of people who thought I was making a mistake.

Today…

I’ve coached hundreds of people.

Co-own AK Active.

I’m the Internal Verifier at Make Me A PT, helping ensure future Personal Trainers meet the standards expected by Active IQ before their work is submitted.

Looking back…

I’m grateful I listened to my passion instead of staying comfortable.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking…

“I’d love to become a Personal Trainer one day…”

Don’t ignore that feeling.

It might just be pointing you towards the career you’re supposed to have.

THIS COULD BE YOU. 👀

The next generation of Fitness Coaches & Personal Trainers is already being created… and there’s absolutely no reason you can’t be part of it.

Every person in this picture started in exactly the same place:

They had an interest in fitness.
They had doubts.
They had things they didn’t know.

But they started.

You don’t need to already know everything.
You don’t need to already feel confident.
You don’t need to wait until the “perfect time”.

That’s what the qualification — and our support — is for.

We’ll teach you.
We’ll coach you.
We’ll build your confidence.
And we’ll help you get qualified.

Stop watching other people do the thing you keep saying you want to do.

This could genuinely be you next. 💛🖤

How many times have you thought…

“I’d love to become a Personal Trainer… but…” 🤔

After speaking to hundreds of aspiring PTs across the UK, the same three reasons come up again and again.

❌ “I’m not fit enough.”
❌ “I can’t afford it.”
❌ “I’ll do it when life settles down.”

Here’s the truth…

👉 Your clients don’t need you to have the perfect physique. They need someone who can guide them.

👉 A Personal Trainer qualification isn’t just a cost—it’s an investment in a career that could completely change your future.

👉 And if you’re waiting for the “perfect time”, you’ll probably be waiting forever. The best time to start building your future is the moment you decide you’re ready.

Every qualified Personal Trainer started exactly where you are now: with an interest in fitness and the decision to take the first step.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Personal Trainer in the UK, whether that’s through a Level 2 Gym Instructor, Fitness Coach, or Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification, don’t let these excuses keep holding you back.
