First Aid Training for Gyms & Fitness Instructors

Accredited first aid training for gyms, personal trainers, yoga and Pilates instructors — practical, confidence-building courses delivered by clinically qualified trainers. Ideal for anyone responsible for client safety in a fitness or wellbeing setting.

Fitness environments involve real risk: collapse, cardiac events, asthma, choking, falls and injuries during exercise. Knowing how to respond quickly and calmly — including CPR and AED use — is essential for public trust and professional standards.
