The fitness industry continues to boom and in the UK alone it’s worth over £5bn. The story is much the same in other countries and continents too. Worldwide, people are engaging with fitness like never before, it truly is a golden age.
All of this demand has created an immediate need for qualified fitness professionals, whether that’s personal trainers, yoga teachers, Pilates instructors or any other of the many disciplines available.
If this turbulent year has taught us anything it’s that utilising online platforms and systems can really enhance our lives and make things feel a little bit more ‘normal’. That goes for shopping, connecting with family and friends and certainly education.
For those thinking about a change and pursuing a career in fitness, the old cliche of ‘there’s never been a better time’ rings very true. Here are a couple of great reasons while studying an online fitness course with HFE could be for you…

You get to study from home…
…or your local cafe, library et al. Perhaps something of a no-brainer but it’s worth pointing out all the same. With leading fitness training provider HFE, all the online and theory assessments can be done exclusively online. So, providing you have an internet-connected device to hand (and you feel you can concentrate), you can study wherever you are in the world and whenever it suits you. If there are practical elements involved, like with HFE’s online personal trainer course, then these can be filmed by the comfort of your local gym.
Flexible pace
Unlike formal college or university education, there aren’t set times or days when you need to be studying. If you currently have a job, family commitments, hobbies or anything else that fills your calendar, an online fitness course is a great solution. If you study best in the evenings, first thing in the morning, or the weekend, you absolutely can do that. Do what works for you.
Extensive learning resources
One of the fears many people have about studying online is that they won’t be supported with their learning or have all the resources they need… essentially, they’ll just be left to their own devices. Now, that may be the case with some providers but certainly not HFE.
They’ve invested considerable time and effort creating a whole suite of physical and digital resources. These range from video lectures presented by industry experts, bespoke learning manuals, mock quizzes, an online student portal that can be accessed 24/7 and in the case of their yoga online yoga teacher training, step by step breakdowns of yoga poses.
Internationally-recognised qualifications
Choosing the right online fitness course from the right provider means you’ll achieve a qualification that’s internationally recognised by employers. For example, if you’re in the UK but have plans to open an international retreat, that’s something you can absolutely do.
Unlimited support
Just because you’re studying online at home doesn’t mean you’ll simply be left to your open devices. HFE’s online fitness courses come with unlimited tutor support as standard. If you have a question or you need revision tips or if you’d like a bit of career advice, you can get it. All you need to do is pick up the phone or send an email.
