Premier Training International has teamed up with fitness brand Pure Gym to provide its graduates with guaranteed employment, giving students a definitive pathway into the working world.

The Pure Premier Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training package allows graduates the opportunity to become a freelance personal trainer with Pure Gym, the UK low-cost fitness chain currently in the process of merging with The Gym Group, giving them the opportunity to build their personal training client base and gain hands on experience in the sector.

The package includes a Premier Diploma in Personal Training, one-day studio cycling course and an online total pad-work course.

There is a full-time and part-time option for completing the course – the full-time lasts a maximum of six weeks and the part-time option runs 16 weeks.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for people wanting to enter the industry as it enables them to follow a specific employment pathway straight into work with Pure Gym,” said Paul Dorkings, sales director at Premier Training International.

“It is a pleasure to be working with Pure Gym and we’re really looking forward to watching our graduates grow into exceptional fitness professionals.”

Pure Gym has more than 60 health clubs across the UK with plans to expand to over 100 during 2014. Premier graduates will work on the gym floor and take group exercise classes as part of their license agreement as a freelance personal trainer.
