What we are
We're not a gym. We're not a franchise. We're a platform.
Motivate connects great self-employed personal trainers with women who want long-term, expert training in their homes or online.
Our clients are busy professionals, new mums, women returning to exercise, and those navigating pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and menopause.
We bring in the clients. We do the admin. You focus on what you love, which is training. You get paid.
Why our trainers stay.
We're building the most talented and inspiring team of fitness and nutrition experts who want to work for themselves but have the support of a brand behind them.
You keep what you earn
No franchise fees. No rent. No platform cuts beyond what's transparent up front.
No invoicing. No admin.
Sessions tracked in the app. Show up, deliver, check it off. We handle bookings, payments and matching.
You're not alone
Join a team of 20+ specialist trainers across London. Real support so you don't have to go it alone.
Get paid, no friction
Paid monthly via the app. No invoicing. No chasing clients for money.

Who we're looking for
The personal trainers who thrive with us.
We're not for everyone, and that's deliberate.
You'll thrive at motivate if you're:
- Genuinely interested in women's health: pregnancy, postnatal, menopause, midlife strength
- A relationship-builder. Our clients stay for years, not weeks
- Reliable, professional, communicative
- Holistic in your thinking. Fitness is one part of wellbeing, not the whole story
- Calm under change. Life happens, sessions reschedule, you adapt
Probably not the right fit if:
- You're building a personal brand on Instagram
- You want to film barbell content all day
- You prefer short, transactional client relationships
- You want a fixed salary, not self-employment

Questions trainers ask
Honest answers.
Do I need to be self-employed already?
No. We'll guide you through registering as a sole trader before your first session. It takes about 10 minutes.
How quickly will I get clients?
Most trainers receive their first client match within 5–10 days of onboarding, depending on your area and availability.
Do I have to commit to a minimum number of sessions?
No fixed minimum. You set your availability. Most active trainers deliver 10–25 sessions a week.
Where do sessions take place?
In clients' homes, local parks, or online. We match based on your London area and preferences.
Do I have to pay franchise fees or a platform cut?
No franchise fees, no rent, no hidden cuts. Your per-session rate is transparent up front.
How do I get paid?
Monthly via the Motivate app. Sessions are tracked automatically — no invoicing, no chasing.
Can I keep training my own private clients?
Yes. Many of our trainers run a mix. We just ask that Motivate clients aren't poached off-platform.
What if a client cancels last minute?
Late-cancellation fees are paid to you under our policy. You're not out of pocket for client no-shows.
Do I need pre/postnatal certification?
Not required, but strongly preferred. Many of our clients are pregnant or postnatal, and specialist trainers earn a premium.
