A new career...
It is time to do what genuinely makes you happy. Whether you have spent your career chasing sales targets, working in human resources or putting in long hours in hospitality, it may be time to follow your heart and help people develop physically. As a trainer, you have many opportunities to help people take a meaningful step forward.
Another example is a school-leaver who has completed HAVO, started a degree that did not suit them and is taking a gap year. This is a fantastic opportunity to study the human body, training methods and nutrition, improve your own fitness and use your knowledge to help others.
Social media and streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube make it difficult to separate fact from fiction in physical development and nutrition. What is true? Do squats or hip thrusts build rounder glutes? As often happens, the truth lies somewhere in between. To offer a small insight: depending on the person's level, training volume often matters more than the specific exercise. For muscle growth, six to twelve sets a week with high resistance can be effective. Correct technique is essential: it is the foundation.
At Fundamentals PT Academy, we want to help people passionate about sport take the next step in their careers. You may want to become a better athlete yourself or pass your knowledge on to new or existing clients. We start with the basics: a solid foundation supports all further development.
You can complete this foundation course in just one quarter. During that period, we hold a weekly online Q&A, four sessions at the Fundamentals training studio, and an examination followed by the awarding of diplomas. After receiving your diploma, you are ready to start as a trainer or online coach with the grounding needed for success. Rather than simply repeating what a “gym bro” or “fit girl” reads on often inaccurate social media or sees in Game Changers, you can teach using evidence-based practice and formally approved literature research.

How to Programme Strength Training for Optimal Muscle Growth
Whether you are new to strength training or have been doing it for years, muscle growth and strength gains are not a magic trick: they come from good planning and consistent execution. Countless routines and recommendations circulate in fitness, often without clear scientific support. At Fundamentals, we want to challenge those myths and explain how training principles really work. This blog covers working sets, differences between men and women, training to failure, and adapting your programme to your age and experience.
