Simon Birchall
Meet our Birmingham Lead Tutor, Simon Birchall.
"I have been working within the fitness industry for over 15 years. Fitness has been a passion of mine since an early age, from trying to lift my dad’s weights at 12 years old, which usually resulted in something smashing, to getting my first gym membership at 14 years old and spending most of my evening and weekends in the gym.
I studied sports at college and then qualified as a Personal Trainer where I worked myself up to being a Club manager at a Leisure Centre. Over the years I have worked on cruise ships, taught freelance yoga classes, managed other PTs and even my own cold press juices business.
Now, I am loving to help the next generation of fitness professionals find their path into the fitness sector and help them realise their potential.

Testimonials

Dean Dallas
Personal TrainerThank you for such a wonderful experience!
Before OriGym Dean was pursuing a career in football. After setbacks due to injury, Dean developed an interest in strength and conditioning and injury prevention, pivoting his career into becoming a qualified personal trainer.
OriGym really stood out to me because I was able to complete my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer qualifications in my own time without deadlines. This really took the stress off and allowed me to go about my daily schedule without interruption.
The tutors at OriGym created a great support network and provided us with practical workshops to further our development. I am now a certified personal trainer and can’t wait to help future clients in achieving their goals!

Heather Hacking
Founder of Heather Hacking PTFantastically Structured & Well Organised
As a mother of three children after spending the past nine years building her career as a solicitor, Heather made the decision to follow a life-long passion for health, wellness and fitness, and pursue a career as a personal trainer.
Studying part-time with OriGym to fit around family and work, I achieved my Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications. I found OriGym’s courses to be fantastically structured and well organised, and my tutor Andy Tsang was brilliant - he taught me so much!
After graduating I started my fitness business with the sole purpose of empowering women, both physically and mentally. My business has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Personal Trainer’ category at Northern Ireland’s Health & Fitness Awards 2019 - I am so thrilled! I am very grateful to OriGym for giving me such a great foundation to launch my business from.

Guy Thompson
Former Leicester & Wasps Rugby PlayerBefore studying with OriGym, Guy was a professional Ruby player for both Wasps and Leicester Tigers and is currently playing for Eailing. Guy chose to complete his fitness qualifications with OriGym as the option to study around his career via online learning and OriGym looked the most "simple and professional" compared to other providers.
After being in and around professional sport for 13 years, this is a natural progression after learning from World Leading S&C coaches. Becoming a personal trainer will allow me to implement this knowledge for helping people and helping people achieve their goals away from sport. I'd really want to focus on helping people in their everyday lives through both mental and physical wellbeing.
OriGym's tutors have been excellent, with great feedback and the content is perfect for someone looking to get started in the industry.
