The Fitness Garage in Harrogate is an all-in-one learning and training facility with access to dedicated tutors, quality PT specific equipment; chosen and used everyday by our trainers with real clients.

You’ll have the support and guidance of a passionate and professional team of tutors, who continue to work in the industry. Collectively we have over 40 years of delivering PT and 20 years of secondary science teaching experience.

We had the idea of running training courses in 2021 following an extensive redesign of our Fitness Garage facility. Uniquely, we run a gym with no direct members – so all our efforts go into supporting and promoting our community of personal trainers and class teachers. We recognise the common areas where trainers need guidance, and support them in gaining and retaining the right clients, and staying relevant in a very competitive industry.

We realised we had all the ingredients to structure and deliver a world-class PT course and follow-on qualifications. Andy and Caroline’s background as science teachers and in pastoral care in schools, coupled with Steve’s job as a Lead Physical Trainer for cancer services in the NHS gives us extensive knowledge and experience. But equally, we know we’ll gain insights from you which we’ll take back to our PT clients and future learners.

Then we found the perfect course-delivery partner. Working with Active IQ was a no-brainer – they stand out as a provider, with high-quality teaching resources and rigorous industry standards.

So we look forward to collaborating with you in a mutually beneficial environment. We are all really excited about welcoming you and helping you get to where you want to be.
