GLL, operating under the Better brand, is the largest public sector leisure provider in the UK, managing over 250 gyms, leisure centres, and sports facilities nationwide. As a social enterprise, GLL reinvests profits back into community health and fitness, making its gyms accessible, well-equipped, and welcoming to all.

With a mix of state-of-the-art gym spaces, swimming pools, sports halls, and specialist training zones, GLL’s Better facilities cater to a wide range of fitness levels—from casual gym-goers to competitive athletes. This makes it an excellent place for personal trainers looking to work with a diverse clientele.

As a personal trainer at a Better gym, you’ll operate on a self-employed basis, giving you full control over your business while benefiting from GLL’s large and varied member base. With affordable, community-focused memberships, Better gyms attract a steady flow of new members, increasing your opportunities to gain clients.

Many locations also offer a hybrid model, where PTs can reduce their rent by working a few hours per week as a Fitness Instructor, assisting members, delivering inductions, and running classes. This allows you to build relationships with members and secure more PT clients.

GLL’s Better Health programme and various community initiatives also provide unique opportunities to work with special populations, rehab clients, and older adults, expanding your potential client base beyond just typical gym members.
