Additionally, OriGym has partnerships with some of the biggest gym chains in Ireland and the UK including JD Gyms, Sports Direct and DW Fitness First, helping to place over 90% of graduates into work within weeks of qualifying. Additionally, we run the academies for these companies as well as partnerships with the MOD (Ministry of Defence) and QMU University all whom trust OriGym with their training, so you know you can too. 

At OriGym we believe in making affordable training available to all. We do not apply or include fees for exams, re-sits, registrations, certifying or apply admin fees that are rife with our competitors. Additionally, we own many of our own training centres, thus cutting out venue hire costs that other providers place upon their students enabling us to offer the most cost-effective courses in Ireland. 

Yes, OriGym has supported many students in the past and present that have some form of physical disability. We deliberately partner with gyms and venues that have disabled access to not disadvantage such students.

OriGym will determine at point of enrolment the extent of your physical capabilities to ensure the course is a good fit for you. If we do not deem the course a good fit, we have the right to decline the enrolment on the grounds of being in the student’s best interests.

OriGym prides itself on not just being a course provider but offering a comprehensive post course support programme that is unrivalled by any competitor both in Ireland and Internationally. 

As soon as you complete your course, OriGym's recruitment team will arrange a career consultation with you, help you construct your CV, giving you templates to work with and then manual review it for you and providing feedback to ensure its spot on.

Then we will distribute your CV in accordance to your post code to secure interviews whether that being for gym instructing, personal training or sports massage positions. OriGym has the largest network of corporate partners in Ireland and can guarantee interviews at most of them.

We will even provide you with interview support over the phone or email in addition to giving you some useful resources that you can use that will help you during the interview process.

When attending a full-time course, you will learn through a combination of hardback material for your leaner achievement portfolio and have some access to the learning portal for supporting resources. Full time courses are taught by qualified teachers, assessors and fitness professionals to guide you through the course, face to face.

You must be aged 16 or over to enrol on the Level 4 sports massage course. There are no other prerequisite qualifications required to get started.

OriGym's Level 4 Sports Massage Therapy is accredited via Focus Awards, regulated by Ofqual and recognised by CIMSPA (Chartered Institute of Sport and Physcial Activity).

OriGym's Level 4 Sports Massage Course covers a comprehensive range of both practical and theoretical learning to ensure you qualify with all skills and knowledge to become a sports massage therapist of the highest standard. 

Topics include human anatomy for sports massage therapy, understanding soft tissue dysfunction, the effects of exercise and nutrition, client treatment goals, advanced massage techniques and how to monitor post care treatment.

The demand for sports massage therapists is at an all-time high in Ireland and the Level 4 course in sports massage is the key qualification to working for resorts, clinics in massage and rehabilitation, spas and health clubs as well as both professional and amateur sports clubs.

The average sports massage salary is 38,000 Euros in Ireland with many graduates opting to mix employed and self-employed routes to maximise their earning potential. 

Becoming a sports masseur on a freelance basis is another route to consider with an average £38 euros per hour freelance rate. It is a qualification that really compliments personal training as the client demographic is the same and can increase client growth for both your Sports Massage and PT business simultaneously.
