Designed by Premier’s top fitness experts, the new Power Club Continuing Professional Development (CPD) qualification will allow personal trainers to become experts in what will be the fitness craze of 2011. Power Clubs are an established force in the US thanks to the work of fitness coaches such as Scott Sonnon. They have their origins in Persia and were adopted by the Indian military.

During the occupation of India, British soldiers learned and developed this training method and brought it back to England. Unfortunately interest faltered before the Second World War but now, years later, Premier is restoring it as a valuable training modality in the UK fitness industry. The reason Power Clubs have been so successful in America is that they can be built into a fitness program which moves away from the slow pace of gym machines and brings back the more dynamic movement and momentum associated with sport and activity. This means they feel more natural to use and are more fun too.

Premier view the Power Clubs as the natural heir to the popular Kettlebell training qualification and are arguably even more adaptable as they can improve movement efficiency, burn fat, build muscle, strengthen joints and correct posture. Power Clubs are suitable for all ages and either sex and, crucially, can be used indoors and outdoors in a wide variety of locations. Ben Pratt, Research and Development manager at Premier Training International, explains: “We are excited to unveil our Power Clubs qualification at LIW as we’ve invested significant time and effort in developing it, taking the best the US had to offer and applying functional human movement principles and exercise programming.”

Launching at LIW, this one day course will take physical training back to the methods that made the British military truly great, providing a high intensity and varied training regime that offers Personal Trainers and clients a more fulfilling and exciting work out experience. Ben added: “I fully expect British demand for power club training to reflect what has happened in the US and by this time next year people will have embraced this new training modality and know for themselves it is more fun and brings great results.”

Premier Training International is inviting school leavers and people looking for a career change to visit an Open Day at its London flagship academy (opposite Finsbury Park tube station) on Tuesday 27 July to find out about opportunities in the fitness industry.

The Open Day will give people the chance to meet with Careers Advisors to discuss the careers and qualifications available. They will also have a chance to take a look at the facilities available at the centre.

Matt Brown, Fitness Trainer, Premier Training International, said, “We’re looking forward to meeting people from London who are interested in careers in the health and fitness industry, no matter their level of experience. Our advisers and staff will be on hand to take them through the career options, courses and facilities available. With the recent figures on how competitive the job market is, it’s refreshing to see an industry where the demand for staff outweighs the supply – so much so that we guarantee our graduates interviews for jobs with the major health club network.”

The rise in unemployment and increased competitiveness amongst graduates is a worry for most people yet Premier Training International has seen a 48% rise in applicants for health and fitness qualifications as the sector’s labour market continues to hold firm and expand.

The health and fitness sector is now worth £3.77billion and many graduates and people made redundant are finding work in the sector – and with it, a more flexible and better quality of life.

Premier’s new flagship academy was opened by Norman Basson, founder of Premier Training International and the Mayor of Islington on 9 June 2010.

“What’s the best thing about working at your company?”
“Why has the position become available?”
“What can I expect from the company in terms of development, support and motivation?”
“Has this role been offered internally?”
“What is the possibility of promotion within the company?”
“If I was offered the job, what are the main monitors for success?”
“What does the organisation expect from its employees?”
“What behaviour is desired and rewarded (not financially) in this position?”
“What is the turnover of staff like throughout the company?”
“What elements of the job offer flexibility and variety?”
“I do like a challenge; does this role involve me being in a status where I can use my initiative?”
“If I am successful, where would you like to see me within the company in five years?”
“How does the job I am applying for fit into the team?”
“What first attracted you to join the company?”
“What is your management style like?”
“What is the working atmosphere like – relaxed, silence, word hard play hard?”
“Do people from work socialise together outside of work?”

“Why do you want this job?”
It’s the natural next step for you and this is the right organisation in which to further your career. Show off your knowledge about the business. Make all that research worthwhile.

“Where does it fit in with your career plans?”
It’s good to talk about steady progression and cementing your experience. But ambition can be good too, and there is no harm in aspiring to the boss’s job in five years’ time!

“What are your strengths?”
Ensure that these are relevant to the job. Try and relate your strengths back to the job spec and give examples of why you’re strong in these areas.

“What are your weaknesses?”
These should be positive weaknesses. Perhaps you have a tendency to work too hard or are a perfectionist for example.

“What’s been your most significant success at work?”
This is about your personal achievements and contribution. Interviewers aren’t interested in the great team you work with. If you have limited work experience, you could talk about achievements outside work. But relate them to the job you are applying for.

“What is the biggest mistake you ever made?”
We all have one, but what’s important is how you dealt with your biggest mistake and what you learnt from the experience.

“What is the greatest challenge you have ever faced?”
Keep it relevant to the job and be positive. Again, interviewers want to know how you met the challenge and what you might do differently, with the wisdom of hindsight, in a similar situation.

“How do you cope with difficult colleagues?”
It’s all about trying to understand a situation from someone else’s perspective — that’s team work.

“You’ve changed jobs three times in the past five years, why should I think you are more serious about this one?”
Great opportunities came your way and you would have been foolish to turn them down. Or, you took a job to achieve a particular goal and, having succeeded sooner than you expected, it was time to move on.

“What do you do outside of work?”
You want to appear active but not so busy that you could not get to work on time or stay late occasionally.

“What’s your current salary?”
Include all your perks and bonuses, but tell the truth. The interviewer can always contact your current employer to check.
