Build Your Personal Trainer Career at Portway Lifestyle Centre, Oldbury
Portway Lifestyle Centre in Oldbury is hiring a self-employed personal trainer. You keep 100% of your earnings, start with 6 weeks rent‑free, and receive a full support package including a 24‑week business development programme to help you build a sustainable PT business from day one.
Why Work as a Personal Trainer at Portway Lifestyle Centre?
Portway Lifestyle Centre is a fully inclusive health and fitness facility with an on‑site GP practice and close links to local health services. The gym pairs Pulse Fitness cardio and strength equipment with EGYM smart training stations, a professional body composition analyser, Olympic lifting platforms and functional kit including battle ropes and sleds, alongside specialist inclusive cardio equipment. The centre also houses a hydrotherapy pool, a sports hall and 3G football pitches. For a PT interested in health‑focused coaching, weight management or supporting clients with long‑term conditions, few local facilities offer this setting.
Self‑Employed PT Package
This vacancy comes with a structured launch package to support you from your first day:
- 6 weeks rent‑free at launch, one of the longest launch periods in the UK
- 100% of your earnings retained: everything you make, you keep
- Castore PT uniform (2 tops) and a £100 marketing voucher at launch
- Health Hero lifetime wellness access
- Capped trainer numbers per centre, so client demand isn’t stretched thin
Potential Earnings
Self‑employed personal trainers working with YOUR Personal Training typically build to £2,500 to £4,500+ per month by month six, based on network data. You set your own session rates and keep 100% of what you earn, so income isn’t fixed to a salary band. For context, the average personal trainer salary in Birmingham is £30,780 per year (Indeed, June 2026, based on 71 reported salaries); the upper end of the typical self‑employed range sits well above it. Earnings figures are typical, not guaranteed.
The 6 weeks rent‑free gives you the runway to establish your client base before licence fees begin.
Support to Build Your PT Business
Every placement comes with unlimited one‑to‑one mentoring from YOUR Personal Training’s Regional PT Managers, plus a full programme of business development resources.
