Frequently asked questions

Which fitness trainer certification is right for me?

With no prior experience, start with the C Certification (free). For gym and trainer roles, the B Certification is the job-qualifying step. Specialisations (A Certifications) come afterwards.

How does training at Grow Fit Academy work?

You learn module by module in the app: theory, practical example, mini questions, XP. Exams are online (C written; B additionally an AI oral part). You set the pace.

Which certifications do I need to get started?

The C Certification is enough to begin. Most gym jobs and personal training expect the B Certification. Current modules and SC are shown in the course grid below.
