Our Story
There I was, on a treadmill in a hotel, in a place I didn’t really know. It was a Thursday evening and I was thinking about my upcoming race, so I had to train. Only this was the third night in a row and it was soul destroying! I was training for a 10k road race in the coming weeks and was on a work trip. I had to do something to keep ‘ticking over’ whilst I was away, but I couldn’t help thinking “…wouldn’t it be great if I could find a personal trainer (PT), although not just any PT, the PT for me, whilst I was here for a few days to help keep me motivated and even progress my training regime…”.
Of course, I could find a PT at home who could give me a programme to follow whilst on the road, but it just isn’t the same. The face to face and the human aspect of encouragement provides us the help we need (at least, this is what I think). The requirement I had, manifested itself as an opportunity in my mind and really made me explore options. I saw a need for a platform for ‘use anywhere’ - finding a PT at home, on holiday, on a work trip, or whenever and wherever you need, with the skills and competence that YOU are after. And even vice versa.
This is how PTBooker was born, I consider our platform the ‘Airbnb of fitness’. On one side, the fitness enthusiast and on the other side, the PT. With the PTBooker concept, both parties are mobile (not exclusively, but can do so if required or desired). Both PTs and fitness enthusiasts can find their respective match for the fitness journey they’re pursuing or for a thriving PT business.
And with all of this PTBooker is at the heart of helping, promoting, enabling and building you all up.

About Me
Hi, I’m Carl, the Founder of PTBooker, It's great to have you with us, a very warm welcome.
​A brief intro about me:
​I graduated from Coventry University in 2001 (too long ago to care for!) in Aerospace Systems Engineering and more recently from the University of Warwick with an MBA.​
I obviously have a huge interest in sports, mainly football and triathlons as well as athletics and rugby (the latter two mainly to watch!).
I’m privileged to say that I have served in the Royal Air Force as an Engineering Officer for eight years, leaving in 2013 before a 9 year career with Rolls-Royce aerospace. ​I’ve worked abroad and, for those who want to know a little more about me, feel free to get in touch.
As a teaser, I have three things in common with Sir Frank Whittle (who you may know of!), can you guess them? ​Hope you’re doing ok and look forward to your feedback on our concept and journey here at PTBooker.​
​
Thanks for reading and take care.
