INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
This post is all about my own reflection on how the fitness industry has evolved over the past 20 years.
When I started as a personal trainer back in 2002, most gyms had a clear imbalance, typically there would be 9 male PTs for every one female PT.
Similarly, when we first began delivering our Level 3 Personal Training Qualification in 2009, around 80% of students were men, with only 20% women.
Now in 2025, it is great to see an equal balance of male and female trainers.
Our courses now reflect this change too, with an even mix of male and female students.
It’s inspiring to see the fitness industry thriving more than ever, creating more opportunities for both men and women to achieve their individual success as fitness professionals.
