Britons are turning to personal trainers to help them get financially fit, not just physically fit, as they become confidantes for all things personal finance, love and life related.

According to research by CreditExpert.co.uk, Britons are giving their hairdresser the chop and turning to their personal trainers for personal finance advice and discussion and not just using them as a source of fitness information.

Over 40% are more likely to share their concerns and request advice during their personal training session than during their regular trip to the hairdresser – the traditional person many turn to.

Recognising this, credit report provider CreditExpert have teamed up with GymBox to help people shape up physically and financially.

GymBox personal trainers will receive information to

• help clients understand the importance of monitoring their credit report


• explain how a healthy credit score helps access to the best credit deals and protects against ID fraud.

People can get a FREE credit report on the CreditExpert website.

Richard Hilton of GymBox comments ‘People are now looking to their personal trainers to motivate and informa them in all areas of their lives.

CreditExpert’s new scheme makes use of this fact and will hopefully mean Britons are as motivated about keeping their credit score in check as they are about their fitness.’
