Frequently asked questions

How do I become a fitness trainer?

1) Complete the C Certification fundamentals for free. 2) Take the B Certification including the exam. 3) Optionally add an A specialisation. In parallel: gather hands-on experience in a gym or as a career changer.

How much do fitness trainers earn?

Salaries and fees vary widely by region, gym model and whether you are self-employed. The certification itself is no income guarantee – it gives you the professional foundation for employment or independent coaching.

What are the first steps?

Create an account, start the C Certification, work through your first modules and quizzes. Then move on to the B path and exam prep – our AI advisor helps you sequence it.
