The Benefits of Group Training

As a workshop group you’ll discuss the benefits group training can have on instructors, class members and businesses. You’ll also cover what actually constitutes group training and what doesn’t. 

Periodisation and the Phases of Training

Here we’ll cover the three phases of group training and how the power pyramid relates to each phase. You’ll also learn the different concepts and types of periodisation to pace these sessions appropriately. 

The 16 Session Periodised Plan

This part of the workshop will cover the 16 session periodised plan designed to span four weeks of progressive training. You’ll also identify and include where combinations of exercises can fit into this  plan. 

Combinations and Fitness Tests

This practical module will teach you different combinations and tests including cardio vs clock, mini triathlons, and more. We’ll also explain the reasoning behind different choices and their effectiveness as part of the 16 session plan from the previous module.

Amazing Course & Career

After having a long-term passion for fitness and having built up her fitness Instagram page (@angfitpt) following to nearly 60k, Angel was getting messages constantly regarding her routines and workout posts. She decided to enrol onto OriGym's Personal Training Diploma and since has also started her Advanced Nutrition Qualification to offer her followers expert, qualified advice. 

Before I started the course, I was a lover of the gym, but unsure where I wanted to take my career. I was at university studying something I couldn’t see myself doing. That was until I found OriGym. I wanted to do the course so I could learn more about a passion of mine and eventually turn it into a career. I wanted the knowledge to turn my passion into my day to day life. I am now going to start working in a gym as a personal trainer, building my own business and hopefully continue to study around the subject too. I’m excited for what the future holds!

I have had such a wonderful experience with Origym. I started and completed my Level 2 Gym Instructor theory within lockdown and passed my practical after lockdown. The Origym tutors were super helpful with feedback on work. Also, the programme design had lots of information and I could work at my own pace!

Fantastically Structured & Well Organised

As a mother of three children after spending the past nine years building her career as a solicitor, Heather made the decision to follow a life-long passion for health, wellness and fitness, and pursue a career as a personal trainer.

Studying part-time with OriGym to fit around family and work, I achieved my Level 3 Gym Instructor and Level 4 Personal Training qualifications. I found OriGym’s courses to be fantastically structured and well organised, and my tutor Andy Tsang was brilliant - he taught me so much!

After graduating I started my fitness business with the sole purpose of empowering women, both physically and mentally. My business has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Breakthrough Personal Trainer’ category at Northern Ireland’s Health & Fitness Awards 2019 - I am so thrilled! I am very grateful to OriGym for giving me such a great foundation to launch my business from.
