So, you might be someone who works shifts, 9 toive job. Maybe it's just a job that's not bringing you any real passion. We've all been there. Everybody in fitness industry started somewhere where they didn't want to be there anymore. And they really love fitness.

They love the gym. Maybe someone who's seen the fitness creators, Tik Tok influencers, everybody around fitness, you think, I'd love to do that. I think I've got something to add to that. And this is where we want to help you. We want to save you the trouble that all of us has been through of all the years of hard graphs, learning, pitfalls, failures and sort of give you a better path not only to get into the industry but also to stay in the industry because 80% of personal trainers that get into the industry within the first year end up either leaving altogether or just failing.

Now failing doesn't mean that they necessarily run out of money or they can't make money. Maybe it's the other end of the scale where they're undercharging. They've got too many clients. They're burning out and they don't see a way through. We want to try and avoid both of those scenarios.

And we managed to build a really good business in the past of online business of online transformations. We also run a gym. We've also been Ping for many years. So, we understand the models that need to go into it in order to make it a success. So, if you've seen PT Launch Lab before on our podcast, we basically work with all of our learners and we speak to people from the industry basically talking about how they stay in business, how they make a successful and also the main part is keeping that passion alive because you might get into something that you love.

You realize how much work goes into it and that can be a little bit of a killer because you end up trading time for money and the passion can go a little bit. But this is what we're here to do. We work with many, many learners who have gone from either coming out of a corporate business going into the personal training business or we've worked with learners who are already qualified and they need to get from A to B because they got stuck in a rut. Again, it all it all applies and it's all applicable as well. You can actually see on a couple of our podcasts that we've had learners who have done the course and now progressing in business.

We worked with a girl called Gemma who is now a online personal trainer and a gym floor personal trainer building a business. And we've also got Matty who was on the podcast as well. He's now a running coach in his local area building his business and he's going from a job that he didn't love slowly transitioning out to running and also coaching running. So maybe it starts to sound like something you might be interested in. So I'll go over the specifics.

So first of all, the price. Everybody wants to know the price. is one of the most important things to know. It was originally 2,500. That's what we originally priced at. It is now at 1599 because the business mentorship is still included.

We want to make it affordable. So, different payment options. So, we got Cler, we got pay later. We've also got putting down a deposit. We've got zero finance plans.

We've got a lot of different ways you can pay to make sure that you have the accessibility. We want to make sure you can find a way that works for you. Another one is the online thing. So basically we made our course fully online. It's accredited with NCF meaning you can train online with us.

When you get our certificate you've got access to different employers across the UK with an accredited fully qualified qualification meaning that you're not getting some hocus pocus little qualification certificate for 300 quid. You're getting the full shebang. You might still have some reserves about this entire thing. It's completely natural. You can book a call with us.

You can speak to us and actually get the full download cuz it's easy watching a video. Maybe you just want to speak to somebody. That is an important thing as well. But if you're someone who's actually ready to go, we also have an enrollment link. So, there's going to be a couple of buttons, a couple of prompts somewhere on this video.

Click it, book a call, fill out the enrollment link, and let's get started. Cuz again, it's all down to you. We want to help you get somewhere that you're going to be proud of, something you can build on, and actually just get out the grind because we've got a very short time on this planet. We might as well enjoy it.
