Lifetime Training pairs with PTA Global for advanced personal training course

Lifetime Training has partnered with FitPro affiliate PTA Global to create a new Level 3+ personal training course for instructors who wish to take their knowledge base to an advanced level.

The new Lifetime PTA Global Maxima course combines two flagship qualifications: Lifetime’s Level 3 Personal Training Diploma and PTA’s Global Advanced certificate. The PTA Bridging Course certification, also included within the course, is designed to provide the foundation knowledge, techniques and insights to take personal trainers beyond Level 3.

Designed to help managers and studio owners develop their personal training team’s capabilities, as well as for self-employed personal trainers, the new course covers ‘soft’ skills such as communication, behaviour change and client motivation techniques, as well as teaching in depth scientific understanding of the body and brain.

According to Lifetime, which scooped Apprenticeships & Traineeships Provider of the Year at the 2014 Active Training Awards, teaming up with PTA Global has helped to create a course developed by two “powerhouses" of the industry.

“This new course provides fitness facilities with the skills and knowledge to develop personal training teams and propel these individuals to the top echelons in the industry,” said Mike Jones, commercial director at Lifetime Training.

“The Maxima course has been designed to develop talented personal trainers and take them to the top of their profession so that they can lead the way in the health and fitness industry.”
