FAQs

Is this workshop right for me?

If you have a passion for fitness and helping others, yes for sure! It doesn’t matter your age or stage, if you care about these two things you can make a great coach. We get a lot of career-changers studying with us because they want a new, active career in which they can set their own hours and control how much they earn. This program will give you all the skills you need to be a career coach set for long-term success.

What will I learn?

As well as the fitness and exercise expertise that personal trainers require, you will learn how to coach people to influence their behaviours, as well as the business, sales and marketing skills that you usually need to be a PT.

What are your payment options?

We take a small deposit when you begin, then a payment won’t be taken for 7 days, so if you decide the course isn’t for you within that time, you can withdraw your enrollment free of charge (and have the deposit refunded). We like to provide flexibility when it comes to payment options, to make the course accessible. We have payment plans that range across 10 weeks to up to 35 weeks, giving you access to the course for less than $150 per week.

Why is this program is the best way to get started as a trainer?

We equip students with the practical skills they actually need to be great coaches, not just theoretical fitness knowledge. Studying at Fitness Playground Academy also guarantees you a job interview with Fitness Playground, which is continuously recognised as being one of the best places to work in Australia.
