This week's TRAINFITNESS Update is out.
NICE says in print that qualified fitness instructors can deliver falls prevention exercise. It just never said what the programme should contain. The research did. Balance challenge plus three hours a week cuts the rate of falls by 39%, and neither resistance work on its own nor walking does the job. The article has the dose, four checks you can run on Monday and where your scope ends.
Offers until Sunday: an EXTRA £200 off any PT Diploma paid in full upfront, plus £50 off Exercise for Older Adults, £50 off Advanced Stretching, £500 off Pilates and £150 off Low Back Pain Management.
Also inside, Coach to Scale with Tom Trotter, the business programme for coaches who have the qualification but not yet the diary. Seven stages, 33 lessons and weekly live group coaching. Most report their first paying client within four to eight weeks.

For some clients with depression and anxiety, exercise is as effective as a pill. That is what the latest research, including a major 2024 BMJ review of 218 trials, now shows.
It does not replace medication or therapy. It works alongside them, and we are uniquely placed to deliver it.
Biggest effects: walking and jogging, yoga, strength training. The best type is usually the one your client will actually keep doing.
Our new article breaks down which types and doses work, how exercise compares with medication and therapy, and exactly where the PT fits, plus when to signpost.

This week's TRAINFITNESS Update is out.
Inside there is a research-led read on taking postpartum clients safely back to exercise. The 2025 evidence shows that pelvic floor and core training in the first year after birth lowers the odds of incontinence and prolapse and helps diastasis recti recover, and that staying active does not make pelvic symptoms or abdominal separation worse. The article covers the early work, progressing load with confidence, return-to-running readiness from around 12 weeks and the red flags that mean referring on. Plus this week's course offers.
On offer right now:
FREE Life Coaching and Exercise Referral courses worth £898 with any PT Diploma
An EXTRA £250 off any PT Diploma when you pay in full upfront
The same £250 saving and both free courses when a qualified PT upgrades to a Specialist or Master Diploma

A cancer diagnosis used to mean rest and wait. The evidence has moved on.
Structured exercise after a diagnosis, and prehab in the window before surgery or chemo, can improve fitness, protect physical function, shorten hospital stays and is linked to better survival.
Our new article takes a look at what the 2024-25 prehab evidence shows, and at where a qualified PT fits alongside the clinical team, never in place of it. Safe screening, concurrent aerobic and resistance training and clear referral pathways are the whole job here.

Got a client nursing a sore patellar, Achilles or shoulder tendon for months? The old advice was rest, then endless eccentrics, then more rest.
The research has moved on. Heavy-slow resistance training matches or beats eccentric-only loading, with clients who actually stick with it.
Heavy load to drive tendon remodelling. Slow tempo to keep it tolerable. Pain up to 5/10 that settles in 24 hours is fine. Around 3 to 4 sets, 3 times a week, over a 12-week block.
Our latest article breaks down the evidence and the practical programming you can use straight away.
