Our journey starts Peter Lemon, a highly established Personal Trainer since 1995. Frustrated with the complexity and cost it takes to start a fitness career his mission, put simply, was to do something about it. He founded the Academy of Fitness Professionals in 2014 and almost a decade on our mission remains the same.

“Retraining as a personal trainer from my previous career as a primary school teacher was one of the best decisions I ever made. Each day is varied and I am eager to see how business develops in years to come. The Level 3 Certificate fitted in perfectly with the school summer holidays making my new career change simple.Thanks for everything.”
“I left school without many qualifications but with a love of sport and all things fitness! I realised I could turn this into my career and trained as a Fitness Instructor. From there the sky’s the limit. Qualifying as a Personal Trainer has opened so many doors. Today I train clients inside and outside of the gym – its great doing a job that gives so much back to helping others.”
“Having switched my career from marketing to a Personal Trainer – I was daunted at first to take such a step. However, now I am working with clients and making progress I feel the sacrifice has all been worthwhile.”
My impression of the Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications are great. The subjects are thought provoking and the study book is very well explained, simple and full of interesting ideas. The English is perfect for a mother tongue as well for an Italian. Thanks a lot.
