Frequently Asked Questions
Whilst some employers may include insurance in your contract, it’s always best to ensure you’re covered. The main types of insurance you should consider are:
- Public Liability Insurance – This protects you against client injury and property damage.
- Professional Indemnity Insurance – Covers you if a client feels you have given them incorrect or bad advice which has caused them injury or illness.
Other insurance policies such as personal accident, loss of earrings, and equipment coverage is also beneficial. Be sure to compare providers, in order to protect yourself legally.
In addition to this, most employers now require teachers and assessors to clear a DBS certificate.
You must hold a Level 3 Gym Instructor qualification and a Level 4 Personal Training qualification to enrol, and be at least 16 years old.
Many learners complete OriGym’s Personal Trainer Diploma first as it includes both qualifications. Keep in mind you will only be able to teach courses that you are qualified in yourself, so you may need additional training after completion.
Completing this course will see you earn two separate qualifications, one in teaching and one in assessing. During your study, you will learn how to plan and deliver lessons, in addition to evaluating and marking assignments.
This course also covers wellbeing techniques, ensuring that your classes are safe for every student. This includes developing your knowledge of the legalities, roles, and responsibilities of the educational sector.

Level 4 Fitness Assessor Course Testimonials
Sianna Lunn
OriGym Level 4 Student
“I chose a package of 4 courses to advance my knowledge within a career in the back pain industry. The packages were flexible and it was easy to build the courses to suit my own requirements. I found the response time with online chats to be almost instant and always very helpful. I love having a dashboard so I can quickly see my progress and ‘tick off’ each module section. Practical assessments are organised and professional with friendly staff. It’s been a really easy way to return to learning and the flexibility of the course suits a busy lifestyle and full time work”.
Dafydd James
Former British & Irish Lions Rugby Player
“After researching online and looking at various courses, I was happy to choose a recognised Nutrition qualification which is what OriGym offers. It was important for me to see a lot of positive reviews, as well as the course content looked thorough and in depth. I chose this course to add another dimension and skillset to my business. If I can utilise the framework provided by OriGym, I will be able to develop a successful business and educate anyone from the general public to professional athletes.”
Jessica Lee
Olympic Track Cyclist
“Although this is starting something new, it’s also building on something that I already have. I reached out to friends who have done similar courses and OriGym was mentioned as the course to go to. After I enquired, Michelle called the next day and was really organic and genuine in our conversations, whereas other providers sent a generic email where I still had to do more research myself. As an olympian a mission is to always pass on experience and knowledge. I’d look to eventually have my own company to really pass on my passion and maybe even help create a new olympian in the future!”
