The people behind Impulssi have been influencing the personal training industry as coaches, trainers, and developers for over 25 years. During that time, the world has changed a great deal. Training courses, however, have barely kept up.
The Impulssi Personal Trainer Course has been developed to meet today’s and tomorrow’s lifestyle and health challenges. Our course addresses the biggest challenge in the sports and wellness sector: lifestyle coaching for sedentary individuals and those with a high risk of or already suffering from lifestyle-related diseases.
Our goal is to teach resource-based coaching and training that takes total load management into account. The most common problem in programmed training is that life’s other stressors are not sufficiently considered in the coaching plan. The Impulssi philosophy is therefore grounded in pursuing a better stress balance.
Our high-quality curriculum, strong relationships with employers in the sports and health sectors, and our continuous learning model help you find employment, continuously develop yourself, and increase your market value in the eyes of clients and employers.
“I have worked in personal training for 25 years. During that time the world has changed a great deal. It is no longer enough for a PT to master coaching healthy individuals, since every second working-age person has some lifestyle-related disease or at least an elevated risk of illness that must be considered in coaching.”
For us at Impulssi, it is important to advance our beloved field from the starting points we ourselves strongly believe in: Training practices based on evidence and extensive field experience, combined with modern training methods and a resource-based coaching philosophy, form the foundation of our goal to help people feel better.
I want to welcome you to our courses and our network, which our entire team is committed to supporting – even after your studies have ended!”
Riku Aalto, CEO and Founder, Trainer

As our client, you gain access to our continuously growing online learning environment, where we produce micro-courses, webinars, articles, coaching content, and podcasts. Learning does not stop after the first round – it continues far into the future, building on what you have already learned and deepening your knowledge.
You can study wherever and whenever you like. Micro-course topics include client acquisition and retention, building lasting client relationships, personal branding, effective communication, better interaction skills, conceptualising successful products, improving client satisfaction, building a successful business, and continuous development as a coach.
Our collaboration with sports and health sector operators offers excellent employment opportunities, so the channels are open both from an employment and a partnership perspective.
Our PT course includes a comprehensive study material package in our learning environment, high-quality recordings from every training session as well as excellent materials to support your studies and work as a personal trainer. With us, you are never alone – we support and assist you both during and after the course.
Our personal trainer course is delivered as a hybrid solution, in which theoretical studies are carried out as instructor-led online sessions and as independent, recording-based study. During on-site sessions, what has been learned is swiftly put into practice through various functional exercises, pair and group assignments, and insightful clinics.
The actual coaching studies of the Impulssi Personal Trainer Course begin with the fundamentals of physical training and the structure and function of the body. Functional anatomy and movement science are brought into practice through insight-generating exercises during the gym training module, where coaching skills are also developed through guidance of training exercises.
In addition to safe and results-driven coaching, important tasks for personal trainers and coaches include marketing and advancing client acquisition. Understanding the demands of modern client work and strong interaction skills are also addressed in the course content.
Personal trainer, gym coach, or coach are not protected job titles in Finland.
To help consumers and clients make an informed decision when choosing a responsible and qualified personal trainer, the Finnish Association of Fitness and Health Centres (SKY ry) has developed quality standards for trained personal trainers.
SKY ry administers the register of authorised personal trainers in Finland, the APT® directory, which allows consumers and employers to identify coaches who have completed training at a quality-certified organisation in Finland. The APT® mark is a registered trademark and may only be used by authorised training organisations and the personal trainers they have certified.
The Finnish Association of Fitness and Health Centres (SKY ry) is a sports sector advocacy organisation whose role is to assess the quality of training providers and maintain their authorisation in Finland. Its goal is to develop operations in the sports sector and represent the interests of the field in various working groups.
The personal trainer course audit committee operating under SKY ry reviews the content, delivery method, and for example the customer service process of authorised personal trainer courses to ensure they meet the quality requirements set by SKY ry.
SKY ry also administers the register of authorised personal trainers in Finland, the APT® directory, which allows consumers and employers to identify coaches who have completed training at a quality-certified organisation in Finland.
All personal trainer courses authorised by SKY ry are based on the same requirements set for the qualification. These requirements are grounded in international (e.g. EuropeActive) personal trainer course standards, but the Finnish personal trainer course standards set by SKY ry are in many respects more demanding, for example regarding practical teaching.
Although all Authorised personal trainer courses share the same criteria and quality standards, training organisations do differ. For example, Impulssi has a resource-based coaching philosophy that we teach in our course, and our main focus is on building lifestyle coaching skills (while not neglecting performance coaching).
We also dare to claim that the Impulssi trainer team is the most experienced in Finland, and we are very active in serving our clients even after the course. Evidence of this is our excellent course feedback.
The Impulssi personal trainer course receives excellent feedback from participants for its relevance and resource-based coaching philosophy.
Impulssi’s background team and trainers are all highly experienced and/or highly qualified sports and wellness professionals. Our trainers also continuously do coaching work themselves, so in addition to theoretical knowledge you will gain tools that truly work in practical coaching.
Our course always includes very comprehensive course materials.
The curriculum, content, and scope of the Impulssi Personal Trainer Course meet the quality standards of SKY ry.

6 syytä kouluttautua personal traineriksi
Personal trainer -koulutus on erinomainen investointi oman hyvinvointiosaamisen kehittämiseen. Se, miten hyödynnät koulutuksen tuomaa osaamista, riippuu omista tavoitteistasi ja elämäntilanteestasi. Mahdollisen alanvaihdon tai uuden
Personal trainerin tärkein tehtävä?
Personal trainerin työ yhdistetään harjoitusohjelmiin, toistomääriin ja fyysiseen kehitykseen. Puhutaan periodisaatiosta, progressiosta ja teknisestä osaamisesta. Ne ovat toki ammattitaidon perusta. Mutta ne eivät ole
Kestävä kunto rakennetaan terveyden perustalle
Liikunta- ja terveysvelka uhkaa kasvaa hallitsemattomiin mittoihin. Sitä on kertynyt viimeisten vuosikymmenten aikana yhä kiihtyvällä tahdilla, ja seuraukset näkyvät jo nyt suomalaisten arjessa, toimintakyvyssä
It is not difficult for any trainer to put clients through grueling workouts or make a trainee’s muscles sore with a gym program.
Instead, it takes considerably more skill to build a trusting coaching relationship, uncover the client’s true needs for change, align their values and time use, embed “winning” wellness routines into their daily life, and support them on a successful journey of change.
