Further Progression 

For a personal trainer, Level 4 courses mark the highest level of recognition, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to build on your knowledge. As well as considering other fitness courses at level 4, Fitness CPDs are also perfect for industry professionals seeking to expand their expertise in specialist areas of training.

However, your education doesn’t have to stop there! OriGym provides a wide range of CPD Fitness Courses tailored for industry professionals seeking to expand their expertise in specialist areas of training.

Prices for our Level 4 courses start at just £699. All of our courses are available with flexible, 0% interest payment plans. We also offer packages which include multiple advanced qualifications at a discounted rate when booked together.

We believe courses and education should be obtainable and affordable for anyone who wants to start a career within the fitness sector, which is why our prices are cheaper than providers of other Level 4 PT courses. We own a vast majority of training venues through our sister company, which allows us to charge less thanks to reduced overheads. We also do not apply unnecessary admin fees, certification charges or exam fees that many of our competitors apply.

Some of the post-course support services available to our level 4 personal trainer students include CV distribution, interview tips, and support in landing a job interview on completion of your course.

If your goal is to start or expand your own personal training business, we can also provide you with a range of free business and marketing resources to set you up for the best possible start in the industry. Our dedicated post-course support team can even offer free business consultations!

At OriGym, we also have a huge student alumni system made up of over 250 brands. As an OriGym graduate, you’ll be able to get discounts on career essentials such as software and equipment from some of the world’s largest fitness brands and services.

Every level 4 fitness qualification that we offer can be paid for by setting up a flexible payment plan with 0% interest. 

Additional funding streams are also available through our OriGym partners.

Our partners include:

  • The MOD (Ministry of Defence) which funds current and former military personnel.
  • The PFA (Players Football Association) which helps current and former professional footballers.
  • The PCA (Professional Cricketers’ Association) which can offer funding towards courses for current and former pro cricketers.
  • The RPA (Rugby Players Association) which provides discounts for current and former rugby professionals.

Evidence of affiliation with these organisations is obtained before enrolment and is subject to check from each respective organisation.

Depending on which Level 4 fitness course you wish to study, you may need prior qualifications.

For our Lower Back Pain Management, Diabetes Control Management, and Obesity & Weight Management courses, you’ll need to hold a Level 3 Personal Training qualification or an equivalent Level 3 certification such as Exercise Referral.

There are no prior qualification prerequisites for our Level 4 Nutrition for Sport and Exercise course.

For all of our Level 4 Fitness courses, students must also be aged 16 or older.

All of our Level 4 qualifications for personal trainers are regulated by Ofqual and awarded by Focus Awards, one of the UK’s leading awarding bodies. This guarantees our qualifications are fully recognised by all fitness industry employers and professionals.

OriGym offers a range of different fitness courses at Level 4 which enable you to develop specialist knowledge in particular areas of fitness and exercise. Exactly what you will learn depends on the course you choose to study. 

Students on the Lower Back Pain Management course will cover topics such as the types and causes of back pain, posture and movement, assessment techniques and activity planning to aid treatment. 

The Obesity & Diabetes courses cover various aspects of nutrition and meal planning for individuals managing their weight loss and diabetes, including understanding the long-term behaviours of such individuals and how to develop programmes to support them. 

Finally, the Nutrition for Sport & Exercise course covers multiple aspects of nutrition including macros and micros, understanding how to plan meals for special populations, and how to create vegan and vegetarian meal plans to aid fitness goals.

Once qualified as a Personal Trainer with Level 4 status, you will be able to pursue numerous advanced career opportunities. For example, with this training under your belt, you will be able to work with clients in specialist populations such as those with medical requirements like diabetes or obesity, rather than just the general population.

In addition to this, if you're a self-employed personal trainer you will be able to begin marketing yourself as an 'expert' in a particular field. As such, you can then charge more for your expertise in said area. 

As an OriGym student, you’ll receive continuous support throughout your course. All of our Level 4 fitness qualifications are studied exclusively via our award-nominated e-learning platform, which is made up of a range of resources including e-books, interactive resources, online lectures, training manuals and so much more.

You’ll also have the full support of our expert tutors, who are available over the phone, via email and using our instant chat box service. This support is available 7 days per week, including evenings, to ensure we accommodate all students. As professionals in their specialist areas, tutors will be able to answer any questions and help guide you through the course, ensuring your success.

Also, as you’re able to study the course at your own pace and in your own time, there’s no pressure and no stress to stick to difficult deadlines.

Depending on your subject pathway, assessment methods for the level 4 courses do vary. All of our courses involve online assessments and some will require you to complete one practical assessment. This practical will be completed in person at one of OriGym’s many venues in cities across the UK.

How long it takes to become a Level 4 Personal Trainer depends on how frequently you study. This is because these courses are self-paced with no deadlines, meaning you can work through the content and assignments as quickly or slowly as you like.

On average, students take 10 weeks to complete the Lower Back Pain Management, Obesity & Weight Management Control, and Diabetes Management Control courses. 

Whereas those on our Level 4 Nutrition Course take an average of 12 weeks to complete.

Dafydd James was a Rugby player who played 48 times for Wales, scoring 15 tries and toured with the British & Irish Lions. He played for Sale Sharks, Harlequins and Cardiff Blues amongst other prestigious clubs, making over 300 club a during his professional career.

I want to advance myself, refresh existing knowledge and I'd like to develop a business utilising this Nutrition qualification that can help other people.


After researching online and looking at various courses, I was happy to choose a recognised qualification which is what OriGym offers. Additionally, it was important for me to see that there is a lot of positive feedback from reviews, as well as the course content looked thorough and in depth.


I chose this course as I'm looking to add another dimension and skillset to my business. If I can utilise the framework provided by OriGym, I will be able to develop business opportunities and educate anyone from the general public to professional athletes. Not only this, but I'm looking to personally develop and create a successful business using support from OriGym.

The Best Course Provider

Jessica is a track sprint cyclist specialising in the keirin and has represented her country at the Asian Games and recent 2020 Olympics. Jessica choose OriGym to study her Personal Training course and specialist Level 4 in Nutrition course after being recommended by friends.

 

From a sports background I have always been passionate about sport, for every elite athlete passing on knowledge and expertise is a good continuum from what I've already achieved. Although this is starting something new, it's also building on something that I already have. 

I reached out to friends who have done similar courses and OriGym was mentioned as the course to go to. After I enquired, Michelle called the next day and was really organic and genuine in our conversations, whereas other providers sent a generic email where I still had to do more research myself.

As an olympian a mission is to always pass on experience and knowledge. I'd look to eventually have my own company and client base to really pass on my passion and maybe even help create a new olympian in the future!
