Progression Routes

After completing a Level 4 Personal Training course, you’ll have reached the highest level of qualification available to personal trainers.

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, such as:

Prices for our Level 4 Personal Training 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 other providers. 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.

Just some of the post course support services available to our level 4 students include CV distribution, interview tips, and the guarantee of 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.

As well as offering flexible payment plans with 0% interest options, additional funding streams are also available through our OriGym partners.

Our partners include the MOD (Ministry of Defence), who fund current and former military personnel. We also partner with the PFA (Players Football Association), who help current and former professional footballers, and the PCA (Professional Cricketers’ Association), who can offer funding towards courses for current and former pro cricketers. Our partnership with the RPA (Rugby Players Association) means discounts for current and former rugby professionals can also be obtained on enrolment.

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



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

For our Lower Back Pain Management, Diabetes Control Management, and Obesity & Weight Management Level 4 PT 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 personal training courses, students must be aged 16 or older.



All of our Level 4 Personal Training Courses are regulated by Ofqual and recognised by CIMSPA. Our certificates are all 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 Level 4 qualifications which enable you to develop specialist knowledge in particular areas of fitness and exercise. Which course you study will dictate what you will learn. 

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 diet 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 diet planning, macros and micros, understanding how to plan diets for special populations, and how to plan vegan and vegetarian diets to aid fitness goals.

Achieving your Level 4 qualification opens numerous career opportunities by allowing you to train in a specialist area and as a result, work with niche client groups. Being able to cater to clients in a specialist area, such as weight management or diabetes control, qualifies you to apply for roles with much higher salary opportunities.

As an independent personal trainer, having advanced Level 4 qualifications allows you to market yourself as an expert in a specific area of health and fitness, and therefore charge more for your personal training services.  



As an OriGym student, you’ll receive continuous support throughout your course. All of our Level 4 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 and seminars, training manuals and PDFs, and 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 area, 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 course vary. For programmes which include examinations, these will be completed online, whilst programmes which include a practical assessment must be completed in person at one of OriGym’s 12 venues in cities across the UK.

In-Depth Course Content

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.

Olympic Track Cyclist

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!
