Pure Gym and PT Academy have launched the Pure Gym Academy.
The partnership that will see Pure Gym open up its 170 sites across the UK in order to train new personal trainers and fitness instructors.
PT Academy, founded in 2009 by Adam Kiani, has operations throughout the UK and currently has the highest number of delivery and assessment centres nationwide.
The partnership will see an increase in the number of PT Academy courses available nationwide, with Pure Gym sites used as training centres, under the Pure Gym Academy.
Courses will initially be run by over 40 Pure Gym assessors, with the opportunity for further Pure Gym staff to become assessors.
Newly qualified personal trainers, completing PT Academy level 2 and 3 courses, will have the opportunity to run their businesses from Pure Gym sites across the country.
Laura Fortune, product director of Pure Gym, said: “We’re committed to helping the public incorporate exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and this partnership will enable personal trainers to develop their skill set and pass their fitness knowledge on to members.”
Adam Kiani, Founder of PT Academy, said: “PT Academy has a genuine passion for fitness education and our tutors, mentors and assessors are amongst the best in the industry. As the leading gym operator in the UK, Pure Gym is the ideal partner to allow us to continue to roll out our personal training courses nationwide and provide new opportunities to students keen to break into the world of personal training.”
Alongside helping to open up access to health and fitness education, Pure Gym has also announced corporate partnerships this year with TomTom and Tri SUP, the alternative triathlon series, and UK Running Events to help encourage active lifestyles.
