The QHotels Collection has announced a major new partnership with YOUR Personal Training, the UK's leading Personal Training management company, in a move that will transform the role of fitness and wellbeing across its nationwide hotel portfolio.
The partnership will see YOUR Personal Training deliver its full-service PT management solution across 17 of The QHotels Collection properties, recruiting, onboarding, developing and supporting high-calibre Personal Trainers to operate within the group's extensive leisure facilities.
Already renowned for its commitment to guest wellbeing through fully equipped gyms, swimming pools, fitness classes and award-winning health clubs, The QHotels Collection is taking its wellness offering to the next level by making expert Personal Training an integral part of the guest experience.
The move reflects a growing shift in consumer expectations, with health-conscious travellers increasingly seeking meaningful wellbeing experiences rather than simply access to fitness facilities.
For too long, Personal Training within the hotel sector has often been viewed as an optional extra. This partnership changes that.
Together, The QHotels Collection and YOUR Personal Training are placing expert coaching at the heart of the wellness journey, creating an environment where guests can access personalised support, structured guidance and expert motivation whether they are travelling for business, leisure, recovery or performance.
The partnership also provides a significant opportunity for fitness professionals, creating a network of Personal Training opportunities across some of the UK's most prestigious hotel and leisure destinations.
As wellness continues to evolve from a trend into a lifestyle expectation, hotels are increasingly being judged not simply by the quality of their accommodation, but by the quality of the experiences they provide.
For The QHotels Collection, this partnership represents an investment in people as much as facilities.
Because whilst great gyms and leisure amenities matter, it is the expertise, encouragement and connection provided by exceptional coaches that often makes the biggest difference to long-term health outcomes.
YOUR Personal Training will be responsible for building and developing Personal Training teams across the estate, ensuring guests and members benefit from access to knowledgeable, professional and highly motivated coaches capable of supporting a wide range of health, fitness and wellbeing goals.
Keith Pickard, Golf, Health Club and Spa Director, The QHotels Collection, said:
"Wellness is no longer a peripheral part of the hotel experience. For many of our guests, it is a key reason for choosing where they stay. We've invested significantly in creating exceptional leisure environments across our portfolio, and this partnership with YOUR Personal Training allows us to complement those facilities with outstanding coaching expertise.
What excites us most is the opportunity to make Personal Training a genuinely integrated part of the guest journey. Whether somebody is taking their first steps towards a healthier lifestyle, maintaining a fitness routine whilst travelling, or working towards ambitious performance goals, they will now have access to expert support within our clubs. We believe this represents a significant step forward for the hotel leisure sector and reinforces our commitment to delivering outstanding wellbeing experiences."
James Smith, Group Business Development Director, YOUR Personal Training, said:
"The hospitality industry is undergoing a major shift. Today's guests expect more than a gym tucked away in the corner of a hotel. They are looking for experiences that genuinely enhance their health and wellbeing.
The QHotels Collection has long recognised the importance of wellness, and this partnership represents a bold commitment to elevating that experience even further. By placing exceptional Personal Trainers at the heart of their health clubs, they are setting a new benchmark for what hotel wellness can look like.
This isn't about adding another service. It's about recognising that great coaching can transform how people engage with health, fitness and wellbeing, whether they're visiting for a weekend, staying for business or are long-term health club members."
As wellness tourism continues to grow and consumers place increasing value on personalised health experiences, the partnership positions The QHotels Collection at the forefront of a new generation of hotel wellness offerings.
By combining outstanding facilities with industry-leading coaching expertise, The QHotels Collection and YOUR Personal Training are creating a model that reflects the future of hospitality: one where wellbeing is not an afterthought, but an essential part of the experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the partnership between YOUR Personal Training and The QHotels Collection mean for personal trainers?
It means self-employed personal trainer placements in established hotel health clubs at 17 of The QHotels Collection’s hotels across England and Scotland. Each trainer runs their own business inside a QHotels Collection health club, keeps 100% of their earnings and starts with six weeks rent-free, backed by the full YOUR Personal Training support package. Because the hotels already have health club members and a steady flow of guests, trainers build from an existing audience rather than an empty gym floor. The roles suit both newly qualified and experienced Level 3 personal trainers.
Who manages personal trainer recruitment at The QHotels Collection?
YOUR Personal Training manages personal trainer recruitment and placement across The QHotels Collection. As the official partner, YOUR Personal Training, the UK’s largest self-employed personal training career platform, handles sourcing, onboarding, business support and ongoing development for trainers across the 17 hotels in the partnership. The QHotels Collection provides the health club facilities, while YOUR Personal Training provides the trainer placement and the business support around them. Trainers apply, are vetted and are supported through YOUR Personal Training, not through the individual hotels.
Why has The QHotels Collection partnered with YOUR Personal Training?
The QHotels Collection partnered with YOUR Personal Training to make expert personal training a built-in part of the experience across its health clubs, rather than recruiting and managing trainers in-house at each hotel. The group brought in YOUR Personal Training, the UK’s largest self-employed personal training career platform, to source, develop and support high-calibre trainers across 17 of its hotels. For personal trainers, that means joining a nationally recognised hotel group through an established platform that handles the business and development side, so they can focus on clients.
How do you apply for a personal trainer job at The QHotels Collection?
Applications are made through YOUR Personal Training, which manages personal trainer placement across The QHotels Collection. Choose the hotel that suits you and submit your details, and a YOUR Personal Training Regional PT Manager will be in touch to talk through the placement and next steps. A Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification is required, and if you are not yet qualified, YOUR Academy offers a route in through its PT Career Accelerator.
