So I was up early this morning for a quick five miler as I had to be Bankside gym behind the Tate Gallery where I was being assessed for the first stage of my Personal Trainer Diploma, the Certificate in Gym Instructing.
Fitness training in the UK is monitored by the Register of Exercise Professionals which has various levels of entry. Gym Instructor, which allows you to work in gyms, set up programmes for people and do most of the cleaning (!) is level two on the Reps scale, whereas a PT is level 3.
Despite some initial nerves and forgetting a couple of tiny bits, I did okay on the test, the examiner saying I was largely excellent…. my Reps card should come through in the next week or so!
