More and more personal trainers we know were doing longer and longer hours and they were left drained by it all by the end of the day. Increasing numbers of them were also being asked for more and more money just to be able to work in the premises.
Now though more of them are running Group Octathalon training sessions and at the end of the day they are running through an Octathalon course themselves just for the fun of it. In addition to that they are all earning far more than they used to.
Why & How …you may well ask.
Having 12 or more people in a group, where people work in pairs and the trainer walks around as a facilitator, is actually much easier than 1:1 personal training. It gives you a higher hourly rate and it taps into a bigger market as more people can afford your services. People really like working together and they like encouraging each other especially if it is towards a common, and easily measurable, goal like an Octathalon event. The fun atmosphere is enjoyed by the Octathalon trainers and that goes on to invigorate them in their work. We really do find our trainers going on to do their training at the end of a long day.
In addition to that, our Octathalon trainers have found that some people who are doing these sessions go on to ask them to do some 1:1 work with them as well.
Why not have a look at the trainer section on this website. Joining is easy and is a one off cost of £25 for which you get a full license and a guidebook to help you start. Go on to form your own online group and you can earn even more. We have lots of free marketing support on this site to help you get started.

Why it is worth me going up the license colours as a Trainer?
- You do not have to extend your license beyond the yellow level. The licenses and their associated colours do not intend to make any statement as to how good you are as a trainer – just on what you are licensed to do as an Octathalon trainer. Many of our trainers are happy to just run local in house Octathalon events and to run group training sessions.

How can I get a higher level license?
- You automatically start on the yellow license when you register as a Trainer.
If you want to move up to the Orange level you need to purchase the Orange license training package from the shop. You will then receive a distance learning pack that outlines what you have to do. Essentially it is an evidence based assessment where you have to provide evidence of how well you are running the group training sessions and the events via feedback from your members and your own self assessment.

How can I own the rights to running the Octathalon in my Town/City?

All they have to do is email us their interest and we will record this and promote them on this site. All other trainers from that area wanting to start running Octathalon events or Group training sessions will have to sign up and join that initial trainers team before they can start growing their own teams. Any member or trainer expressing an interest in the Octathalon in that area will be sent contact details of the Octathalon Trainer running the Octathalon in that area.
