Welcome Gym, a new small chain of affordable, friendly gyms are currently looking to recruit a number of self-employed personal trainers to join their friendly teams.

Welcome Gym run five clubs nationwide, which all feature spacious gyms fitted with the latest equipment, airy class studios, separate spin bike studios and generous free weights areas. Some also offer a ladies-only gyms and/or swimming pool. A large variety of instructor-led fitness workshops and classes are provided each week, included in the cost of membership. Members can also purchase personal training from a bank of self-employed fitness instructors working within the clubs, and we are currently recruiting suitably qualified people to add to these teams.

Successful applicants will benefit from the chance to run their own personal training business within a very successful health club, without the investment costs and overheads associated with running a gym. A moderate rental fee is payable to the club monthly by direct debit. However, as a personal trainer based at Welcome Gym, you will benefit from a captive market of thousands of club members, and you can also bring your external clients to train in the gym. We can help with marketing initiatives and give assistance in finding clients, so you should quickly establish a profitable business, if you are prepared to work hard. We offer all new club members a free half-hour taster session with a personal trainer – an ideal opportunity to recruit potential clients.



Any income generated is yours to keep, although of course, as a self-employed person, you are responsible for paying your studio rental fee, filing your own tax returns and paying your own expenses and insurance premiums etc.

Applicants must provide Welcome Gym with the following documentation:

• Certification to prove they hold a Level 3 Personal Training qualification.
• A copy of their self-employed tax code notification from HMRC.
• Proof of valid and up-to-date £2m public liability and £1m professional indemnity insurance cover.

As part of the fitness team, you will also benefit from ongoing training and the possibility of adding to your qualifications.

If you are interested in working as a self-employed personal trainer at Welcome Gym, please email your CV and a covering letter, explaining why you would like to work at the gym, for the attention of the Club Manager. Those applicants that successfully pass the initial CV screening will be invited to attend a face-to-face interview in due course.
