Who is Kore Sandwell?
Kore is the trading name of Sandwell Leisure Trust, the registered charity that has operated public leisure centres across Sandwell, West Midlands for over 20 years. The trust rebranded as Kore in 2026 and runs its centres on behalf of Sandwell Council, including Sandwell Aquatics Centre, the venue built for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Kore is a community leisure operator rather than a commercial gym chain, with a stated mission to help more people move better, feel stronger and live healthier lives. YOUR Personal Training delivers the personal training service across Kore's centres.

Yes. YOUR Personal Training has self-employed personal trainer placements at five leisure centres in Sandwell, covering Smethwick, Wednesbury, Tipton and Oldbury. Sandwell sits between Birmingham and the Black Country, and Sandwell Aquatics Centre in Smethwick is within easy reach of Birmingham city centre. If you live in Birmingham, Dudley, Walsall or West Bromwich, these placements put a five-centre client catchment on your doorstep. You can browse and filter every current opening above.
How much do personal trainers earn in Sandwell?
Based on YOUR Personal Training's network data, self-employed PTs typically reach £2,500 to £4,500+ per month by month six, and placements at Kore Sandwell's leisure centres follow the same model. Because you are self-employed and keep 100% of your earnings, income depends on your session rates, client volume and how quickly you build your client base. The 6 weeks rent-free at launch removes income pressure while you get established, and capped trainer numbers at each centre mean client demand isn't stretched thin. Earnings figures are typical, not guaranteed.
Are leisure centre personal trainers self-employed or employed?
Personal trainers placed by YOUR Personal Training at leisure centres, including all Kore Sandwell sites, are self-employed. You run your own PT business inside the centre under a licence arrangement with YOUR Personal Training, set your own session rates and hours, keep 100% of what clients pay, and manage your own tax through self-assessment. Leisure operators like Kore also advertise employed roles, such as gym and fitness instructor positions, on their own websites. Those are different jobs. The personal trainer placements listed on this page are self-employed and managed by YOUR Personal Training.
What qualifications do I need to work as a personal trainer?
You need a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification to apply for any role through YOUR Personal Training, including all Kore Sandwell placements. The qualification must be CIMSPA-endorsed and awarded by a recognised awarding organisation. Both newly qualified and experienced personal trainers are welcome to apply. If you are not yet Level 3 qualified, YOUR Academy offers a direct route into a PT career through the PT Career Accelerator, which guarantees a PT job on completion.
What support does YOUR Personal Training provide to self-employed PTs?
Every YOUR Personal Training placement comes with a full support package, and Kore Sandwell placements include all of it. You start with 6 weeks rent-free and a £100 marketing voucher to launch your business. You receive Instructor 2 Icon soft skills training (valued at £300), Forward by YOUR PT (a 24-week business development programme), and the Advanced Business Course (CIMSPA-accredited, 10 CPD points). On top of that, you get access to YOUR PT Hub, Health Hero lifetime wellness access, a Castore PT uniform, and unlimited one-to-one mentoring from Regional PT Managers. Trainer numbers are capped at each centre so client demand is never stretched thin.
