Specialist UK accountants for personal trainers — gym floor sessions, online coaching, group classes and digital programmes.
Whether you earn from one-to-one sessions, an online coaching platform, group classes or selling digital plans, we keep your accounts HMRC-compliant, your tax and expenses handled correctly and your Self Assessment filed on time. We understand how PT income is taxed — gym rent, coaching apps, DAC7 platform reporting and everything in between.
Most accountants see fitness income and file it as simple self-employment. We know the reality — gym licence fees, online coaching platforms, group class income, digital product sales, brand sponsorships and DAC7 reporting all need handling correctly.
Gym floor sessions, online coaching, group classes, digital plans, affiliates and sponsorships — we understand every income stream and exactly which PT expenses you can claim.
Gym floor rent, PT licence fees and studio hire are all fully deductible business expenses. We make sure every facility cost is captured correctly alongside your session income.
Coaching apps now share income data with HMRC under DAC7 reporting rules — just like eBay and Airbnb. We make sure your declared income matches what HMRC already sees, so there are no discrepancies.
Got a question between clients about whether new kit, a CPD course or a coaching app subscription is claimable? Message us on WhatsApp and get a reply within 24 hours — no extra charges, ever.
Earning over £50,000 from your PT business? MTD for Income Tax applies from April 2026. We set up digital records and handle all quarterly submissions for you.
No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. A clear monthly fee that covers everything — you know the cost from day one regardless of how your income is structured.
From your first Self Assessment to ongoing bookkeeping, VAT, limited company accounts and tax planning — we handle the financial side so you can focus on growing your client list and scaling your coaching.
PT businesses have a wide range of genuine claimable costs — and some specific rules that catch people out. Read our full guide to how personal trainers should handle tax and expenses for the complete breakdown.
HMRC does not allow claims for everyday gym clothing, even if you only wear it at work — because it could in theory be worn elsewhere. The exception is clothing that is branded with your business name or logo, or genuine protective equipment. Branded kit and shoes clearly for business use are claimable. Generic activewear is not, even if you bought it specifically for work.
Many coaching apps and platforms now share seller income data with HMRC under DAC7 reporting rules — the same rules that apply to eBay, Airbnb and Etsy. This means HMRC may already have a record of your online coaching income before you file. Read our guide to personal trainer income streams and how they are taxed for more on what to declare and when.
Many PTs start as sole traders and it is often the right structure early on. A limited company can become significantly more tax-efficient as profit grows — particularly once you are earning a consistent six-figure income from a mix of coaching and online products. Read our guide to how personal trainers can save tax through a limited company, or book a call and we will run the numbers for your specific situation.
Whether you are just starting out with your first clients or running a six-figure online coaching business, these thresholds shape how you report and pay tax in the UK.
