Overview
Build Your Personal Trainer Career at Eccles Leisure Centre, Eccles
Eccles Leisure Centre is hiring a self-employed personal trainer. You keep 100% of your earnings, start with 6 weeks rent-free, and get a full support package to help you build a sustainable PT business from day one.
Why work as a personal trainer at Eccles Leisure Centre?
Eccles already runs a dedicated Strength & Conditioning area and an 85-station gym, and a 2024 refurbishment added new Matrix cardio machines and a functional training space on top of it. The centre also runs its own gym-based HYROX sessions, alongside a 25 metre pool and a multi-purpose sports hall.
As a self-employed PT here, you set your own schedule and run your business entirely on your own terms.
What does the self-employed PT package at Eccles Leisure Centre include?
This role comes with a structured launch package to support you from your first day:
- 6 weeks rent-free at launch, one of the longest launch periods in the UK
- 100% of your earnings retained: everything you make, you keep
- Instructor 2 Icon soft-skills training with Ben Shephard (£300 value)
- Two CIMSPA-endorsed business courses, including the Advanced Business Course (10 CPD points)
- Health Hero lifetime wellness access
- Castore PT uniform (2 tops) and a £100 marketing voucher at launch
- Unlimited one-to-one mentoring from your Regional PT Manager
- Capped trainer numbers per centre, so client demand isn't stretched thin
How much can a personal trainer earn at Eccles Leisure Centre?
Self-employed personal trainers working with YOUR Personal Training typically build to £2,500 to £4,500+ per month by month six, based on network data. You set your own session rates and keep 100% of what you earn, so income isn't fixed to a salary band. Eccles sits within the Greater Manchester conurbation; earnings figures are typical, not guaranteed, and depend on your rates, client volume and how quickly you build your client base.

- You hold a Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification
- You're based in or able to work regularly from the Eccles or Salford area
- You thrive in a gym environment and connect naturally with members

About
UK's Largest PT Management Company Since 2008
YOUR Personal Training is the UK's largest and most established PT management company, helping Personal Trainers build thriving self-employed careers since 2008. Operating across 400+ fitness facilities nationwide, we've supported over 5,000 PTs to achieve financial independence, career growth, and work-life balance in an industry often lacking structure and genuine support.
Led by Experienced Personal Trainers
Under the leadership of directors Aaron McCulloch and James Lorey, both experienced PTs who've built successful training businesses themselves, YOUR Personal Training was created to solve a fundamental problem in the fitness industry: talented trainers with nowhere to grow. Today, we partner with the UK's leading leisure operators, including GLL Better, Everyone Active, Fusion Lifestyle, and Places Leisure, to give PTs access to busy gyms with members actively looking to train.
Industry-Leading Credentials and Expert Support
What sets us apart is our proven infrastructure. Our Regional PT Managers aren't generic business advisors: they're successful PTs who've built thriving businesses themselves and now dedicate their expertise to mentoring the next generation. We're proud CIMSPA Employer and Training Partners, Active iQ affiliates, and maintain industry-leading partnerships with NASM, Castore, Applied Nutrition, Technogym, and Myzone. These credentials ensure every PT receives professional-grade support that's recognised across the fitness sector.
Proven Results: Highest PT Earnings and Retention in the UK
The numbers speak for our commitment: we invest over £3,000 into every PT from day one, offer the industry's longest rent-free period at six weeks, and deliver the highest average PT earnings in the UK. Our trainers stay with us for an average of 30+ months (three times longer than typical gym-employed PTs) because we provide ongoing mentoring, career progression pathways, and capped trainer numbers that protect your earning potential. From newly qualified Personal Trainers to experienced PTs earning £50K-£60K+ annually, we provide the platform, tools, and community to help you define your own success.
Access to 400+ Gyms Nationwide
With locations spanning every major city and region across the UK, our extensive network of 400+ partner facilities means you can find a gym near you. Our partnerships with leading leisure operators give you access to busy, well-equipped gyms, so you can start building your client base from day one.
Building Personal Training Careers That Last
Whether you're newly qualified and launching your first PT business, or an experienced trainer at a commercial gym with no career support, YOUR Personal Training connects ambition with opportunity. We don't just offer Personal Trainer jobs - we build careers that last!
How much do Personal Trainers earn in the UK?
Personal Trainers in the UK earn an average advertised salary of £30,700 a year, according to data published by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), the UK chartered body for the fitness profession. The figure reflects full-time employed roles; the UK government's National Careers Service describes Personal Trainer earnings as "variable", with most UK Personal Trainers self-employed and earning significantly more. Trainers who work with YOUR Personal Training earn an average 38% above the CIMSPA figure, with established Personal Trainers exceeding £50,000 and top performers reaching £60,000+ through our business mentoring and capped trainer model.
What does 'self-employed PT' mean?
A self-employed Personal Trainer keeps 100% of their earnings and runs their own business. Unlike salaried gym employees, you set your own rates, choose your hours, and build your own client base. With YOUR Personal Training, you get the best of both worlds - complete financial independence while working within established gym partnerships. You're essentially a business owner operating in professional fitness facilities, with full support but none of the traditional employment restrictions.
What qualifications do I need to become a Personal Trainer?
You need Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications (both CIMSPA-endorsed). YOUR Academy offers the PT Career Accelerator programme for just £500 - saving you £1,500+ compared to other providers. The programme is completely flexible, letting you qualify in 2-12 months to suit your schedule. Best part? You get a guaranteed job placement with YOUR Personal Training upon completion, so you're earning while you learn.
How long does it take to become a Personal Trainer?
You can qualify as a Personal Trainer in 2-12 months depending on your study pace. YOUR Academy's PT Career Accelerator programme is completely flexible - study part-time around work commitments or full-time for faster completion. Once qualified, you can start earning immediately with our guaranteed job placement programme. Most of our trainers are working with clients within 6 months of starting their studies.
Can I become a Personal Trainer with no prior experience?
Absolutely. You don't need gym or fitness industry experience to start. However, you must have CIMSPA-endorsed Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications before working with clients. YOUR Personal Training provides comprehensive support for newly qualified trainers through expert mentorship, business development coaching, and proven systems that help you succeed from day one. Our structured onboarding ensures you feel confident and prepared, regardless of your background.
What does 'hybrid' Personal Trainer mean?
Hybrid Personal Training combines part-time employment with self-employed PT work. You'll work some paid gym-floor hours as a Fitness Instructor (providing steady income and member contact) while building your personal training client base. It's perfect for new trainers who want financial security while establishing their business. YOUR Personal Training offers hybrid roles nationwide - giving you the confidence to transition into full self-employment when you're ready.
What's the difference between employed and self-employed Personal Training?
Employed PTs earn fixed salaries (typically £15,000-£30,000) with set hours and limited earning potential. Self-employed PTs keep 100% of their earnings, set their own rates, and choose their schedule, but handle their own taxes and business admin. YOUR Personal Training bridges this gap - you get self-employed earning potential with comprehensive business support, making it easier to succeed than traditional self-employment.
Are there any upfront costs to join YOUR Personal Training?
You don't pay any joining fees, setup costs, or rent to get started. We give you a structured launch, six weeks rent-free, and access to our training, mentoring, marketing tools, and support systems from day one — so you can focus on building your client base before any monthly licence fees apply.
Do I need insurance to work as a Personal Trainer?
Yes. Public liability insurance is mandatory for all Personal Trainers working in the UK.
As part of onboarding, you'll be guided through the process and directed to a recommended insurance provider to ensure you have the correct cover in place before working with clients.
How does YOUR Personal Training help me find clients?
YOUR Personal Training gives you the tools to grow your client base fast. You'll have a professional online profile with instant bookings, in-gym digital TV exposure, and exclusive access to our lead-generation systems. Every trainer also receives 1-to-1 business mentoring from experienced Regional PT Managers who've been exactly where you are — helping you convert leads, retain clients, and build a fully booked diary quickly.
How many clients do I need to succeed as a Personal Trainer?
Most successful Personal Trainers need 20-30 committed clients for a full-time income. With YOUR Personal Training's capped trainer model, you'll never compete with too many other PTs for the same members, dramatically improving your chances of building a full client base quickly. Our business mentoring and proven lead generation systems help you reach this target faster than going it alone.
Is it too late to become a Personal Trainer?
Not at all. Many of our most successful trainers joined YOUR Personal Training after careers in completely different fields — from finance and teaching to healthcare. Whether you're 25 or 55, it's never too late to turn your passion for fitness into a fulfilling career. YOUR Personal Training's mentoring, business support, and hybrid options make it possible for anyone to start strong and thrive, regardless of age or background.
