How listing works
PersonalTrainers.co.uk is a directory where potential clients search by location, specialism, and price. Your listing puts you in front of people already looking for a trainer like you.
Here is how it works from start to finish.
1. Create your profile
Sign up at login.personaltrainers.co.uk and fill in your profile. The more complete your profile, the better you will perform in search results. Key fields include:
- Name and photo — clients want to see who they are going to be working with
- Bio — a short background and a description of how you like to train
- Specialisms — choose from our fixed list (Weight Loss, Strength & Conditioning, and more) so clients can filter by what they need
- Areas served — the towns or areas you cover, which determines where you appear in location-based searches
- Venues — whether you train at a gym, outdoors, at home, or online
- Price per hour — clients can filter by budget, so setting a price helps you appear in more relevant searches
2. Get discovered
Once your profile is live, you appear in three places:
- The main trainer directory at /personal-trainers/, searchable and filterable by location, specialism, price, and venue
- Location pages for each area you serve — for example, a trainer covering Wanstead appears on /by-location/wanstead/
- Specialism pages — if you list Weight Loss as a specialism, you appear on /by-specialism/weight-loss/
Clients browsing any of those pages can see your photo, price, specialisms, and a short summary before clicking through to your full profile.
3. Clients contact you directly
There is no booking system, no middleman, and no commission. When a client wants to get in touch they use the email address or phone number on your profile. All enquiries go straight to you.
Free and Standard listings
Every trainer can list for free. A free listing includes your photo, bio, specialisms, venues, qualifications, and up to three areas served.
Upgrading to Standard (£8 per month + VAT) unlocks the full profile: up to five areas served, your website and social media links, a photo gallery, and training packages with pricing. Standard members also qualify for sponsored placement (see below).
Sponsored placement
Standard members can pay to appear at the top of a specific location page, pinned above all standard results. Up to three sponsored spots are available per location per month, and pricing varies depending on how popular that location is.
Sponsored placement is ideal if you want to dominate a particular area and be the first trainer a potential client sees. Get in touch to find out the rate for your area.
