The partnership

Who we are

We're YOUR Personal Training (YPT) — the UK's largest and most successful personal training management company, operating since 2008. We recruit, place, manage and support the personal trainers working on your gym floor. We're your licensed personal training provider at this facility.

Your licensed provider

All personal training at this facility is delivered by YPT-licensed trainers.

On your floor

Our trainers work the gym floor and are here to help your members.

Here for retention

Members with a trainer get results, stay longer and recommend the club.

Getting started

The PT launch process

Here's what happens as trainers join the facility, so you know what to expect.

  1. Trainers launch on the 1st or 15th of each month.
  2. Each trainer completes a site induction with the leisure manager (or a relevant member of the management team).
  3. The trainer is briefed on your NOP and EAP in centre.
  4. The trainer is introduced to all staff members.
  5. The trainer's notice board or TV profile is set up in the club.

On the floor

What our trainers do

Our trainers are part of the day-to-day life of the gym. The complimentary session is how they get members started — it's the introduction to paid personal training, not a free service.

  • Working the floor and introducing themselves to members throughout the day.
  • Offering a complimentary personal training session, subject to trainer availability, to help members get started — the main USP to promote.
  • Supporting members towards their goals across exercise, nutrition and lifestyle.
  • Arranging their own bookings and pricing directly with members.

You don't need to take bookings or quote prices. If a member asks about personal training, point them to any YPT trainer on the floor, or to a trainer's in-club profile, or to yourpersonaltraininguk.co.uk/trainers.

Quick reference

If a member asks you…

How do I book a session?

Point them to any YPT trainer on the floor. Trainers arrange their own sessions directly.

How much does it cost?

You don't need to quote prices. Let them know there's a complimentary session available, subject to trainer availability, and a trainer will talk them through the options.

Who are these trainers?

They're YPT-licensed trainers in YOUR Personal Training branded kit. We're the club's personal training partner.

Can I use a different personal trainer?

Personal training here is delivered by YPT trainers only. If you're ever unsure, check with your fitness manager.

Common questions

FAQs

Tap a question to see the answer.

What does exclusivity mean?
Under the agreement with your operator, YOUR Personal Training is the sole personal training provider on site. All personal training delivered in the facility is delivered by YPT-licensed trainers. This keeps standards consistent and protects members.
What are the rules on advertising and branding?
All personal training advertising, promotion and signage in the facility should be YOUR Personal Training branded, and there shouldn't be any other personal training advertising on display. If you see incorrect marketing or branding, please report it — see Reporting below.
A trainer isn't wearing the correct uniform — what do I do?
Please speak to the trainer about it in the first instance. If it continues, email admin@yourpersonaltraininguk.com with the trainer's name, the date and the time seen, and the correct YPT manager will be made aware. Full steps are under Reporting below.
What if I see someone training clients who isn't one of yours?
Only YPT-licensed trainers may deliver personal training in the facility. If you see someone coaching or training paying clients who isn't a YPT trainer, please flag it to your fitness manager and to your Regional PT Manager. There's no need to approach anyone yourself.
Can trainers work with under-18s?
No. A trainer's licence only permits personal training for adults (over-18s). Delivering sessions for under-18s is a serious breach of the licence. If you have any concern, please flag it to your Regional PT Manager.
Can trainers use the studio or hall?
Trainers may use studio, hall or outdoor space on an ad-hoc basis only when it isn't otherwise booked, and must check with reception or a relevant member of staff first. Pre-paid and booked activities always take precedence. To book out a space, trainers follow your normal club booking process.
How do members book or find out more?
Members can speak to any YPT trainer on the floor, use a trainer's in-club profile, or visit our trainers page. Trainers handle their own bookings and pricing, so you don't need to take bookings on their behalf.
I don't think our team saw the briefing — what should I do?
No problem. This page is the full briefing and can be shared with anyone. You can ask your fitness or leisure manager to circulate it, or contact us using the details below and we'll make sure it reaches the team.
