Our next L3 Diploma in Personal Training kicks off in January and we couldn't be more excited about it.

Since 2021, we've been kicking off each New Year by welcoming a new cohort of L3 PT Diploma students into our gym, Improve Glasgow.

Our graduates are now sprinkled amongst most gyms in Glasgow, with one lucky devil just landing her dream job in Melbourne, Australia.

If you're looking for a change of career as we march into 2025, or you just want to develop your understanding of training and nutrition to help your own training, our L3 PT Diploma could be a winner.

Check out the slides for a few reasons you should study with us.

What could you do with your PT Diploma?

Here’s a snippet of what a few of our graduates are up to now ⤵️

💻 Jamie is an online coach, specialising in working with busy dads

🙌 Igor started his own 1-to-1 business in Pure Gym

🏋️‍♀️ Phil works in a private gym that offers 1-to-1 and Small Group PT

💙 Phil joined (and has thrived) in his coaching role

The world is your oyster with a Personal Training Diploma. Our next course kickstarts on the 25th February - don’t miss out!

DM us for more details.

Do you enjoy your job but don’t feel totally fulfilled? Or perhaps you hate it but can't afford to give it up (yet).

We might have your answer.

Our upcoming Personal Training Diploma is delivered in a hybrid model, which means you can continue working full time whilst you follow your passion and gain a new qualification.

Sound good? Our next course starts on Saturday and there’s only two spaces left.

Drop us a DM to secure your spot.

At the Improve Academy, our tutors have over two decades of combined coaching experience.

We've, quite literally, trained thousands of people to improved health and fitness; from 13-year olds to 80-odd year olds, from first time gym-goers to professional atheletes, from those looking to gain tens of kilos to those looking to lose tens of kilos.

Now, as well as continuing to train our members at Improve Glasgow on a daily basis, we pass on our knowledge to our Academy students who want to go on to make positive impacts on peoples' lives themselves.

You can rest assured that, with us, you're learning from those who have not only been there and done it, but are still here doing it.

What you'll learn is current, practical and applicable immediately so as you can get off to the best possible start in your own professional fitness journey.

There are less than two weeks until our next Level 3 PT Diploma kicks off. Head on over to www.theimproveacademy.com/courses/level-3-pt/ to learn more.

"Gutted I can't do this course all over again!"

Our weekly practicals quickly become the highlights of our students' weeks when our Level 3 PT course is up and running.

So much so that the nostalgia has one of our former students pining to do it all over again.

We offer a great opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding in a positive and supportive environment, alongside a group of likeminded individuals.

Not only that, but our hybrid format makes us the perfect fit for aspiring personal trainers who are currently in full-time work/education.

Our next course kicks off on the 25th of February and you can learn more about it over at www.theimproveacademy.com/courses/level-3-pt/.

Our next Level 3 Personal Training Diploma kicks off in 18 days time, and we couldn't be more excited about it.

Our hybrid course is run over 10 weeks with weekly practicals in Improve Glasgow (on Saturdays from 1pm-5pm) and theory work done at home in your own time.

This format makes our course perfect for the fitness enthusiast who is in full-time work/education and wants to add a personal training qualification string to their bow; whether that's to start a side-hustle or to completely change career.

Head over to www.theimproveacademy.com/courses/level-3-pt/ to find out more and be sure to drop us a line if you'd like to chat it through.

And that’s a wrap!

Today was the last practical session for our latest crop of Level 3 Personal Training students.

The quantum leaps in confidence and competence over the last ten have been a joy to watch and a pleasure to have been a part of.

From the first day covering the basics of exercise technique to dominating the gym floor in their practical assessments today - it’s been amazing.

Thank you to all involved for a thoroughly enjoyable last few months.

We’re looking forward to watching you all go out and make your own waves in our industry.

Our next intake kick off on the 1st of May and our super early bird rate is available until March 31st.

The next group have got a lot to live up to in the banter stakes…
