    Did your gym require training beyond a certification?

    Hi everyone! I could really use some help with a project I am working on. I'm looking for a list of how much in-house training different gyms offer or require (beyond certification). Here's the basics I need:

    - The gym name
    - If you have to complete any in-house training before/after working with clients (after certification)
    - If so, how many hours is it/how involved.

    If you can help, thank you!

    BTW, from my perspective:
    - I've worked at three gyms (as a personal trainer, that is)
    - One required certification. I'm not sure whether the others did or not.
    - None provided or required in-house training post-certification.

    No such list exists. There are no entities, government or otherwise, that maintain an academia statistical analysis database. You may receive 1-10 responses via this thread but that list would not be considered a scientific one, which is what you need.
    To succeed at doing what you love, you often must do many things you hate.

    Any gyms in the UK that I worked in as a PT require certification in order for us to get insurance. No certification = no insurane
