Success Stories

“After nearly 44 years in the railway industry, I qualified as a Gym Instructor and PT with OriGym at the age of 60. I then started working at Fusion Leisure Centre in Halstead at the beginning of March (2024).

The course is a fantastic basis to start and I refer to my notes constantly. The most important thing though, you have to be approachable and engage with people and listen. Now studying the Level 3 GP Referral which I know will be invaluable going forward”

“Leaving behind my 9-5 corporate job was a scary decision, but deep down, I always knew I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. Helping others feel healthier, happier and more confident has always been my goal and I’m so excited to be able to pursue it full-time! Fitness isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s my passion. I can’t wait to start this journey; helping people make a positive change. I know from my own experience how much of an impact exercise can have on your physical and mental health, and so I have plans to start my own 1-to-1 coaching business, offering classes and building a community so that others can experience this too.”

‘Since becoming a qualified level 2 gym instructor and level 3 personal trainer through Origym, I have started working at David Lloyd’s gym. At David Lloyd I work on the gym floor where I take various classes, one of them being a circuit training class. As a personal trainer I help with inductions to the gym, helping people with technique and form and also 1 on 1 personal training sessions.’

“OriGym has helped me build confidence so much, not believing in myself was my biggest struggle for so long. Thanks to their Level 2 & 3 Personal Trainer course I was able to meet incredible people and the fear I had disappeared. Now I’m a self-employed successful personal trainer doing sessions with my clients, helping them achieve their goals and become confident. I do as many hours as I want, where I want and how much I want. I know it will get better and better that’s why I want to build up my knowledge and hopefully in the future I can open my own gym!”
