There are amazing PTs and educators striving for excellence out there, but there is a perception that the quality of PTs and education providers is not consistently good and that standards are dropping.

Do you think everyone has the same level of care on this?<\/li>\n<li>There are providers who are trying their best but perhaps missing the mark &#8211; how would they know what to improve on and where would they turn to get support and or guidance?<\/li>\n<li>Many people seem quick to remark on standards dropping or remaining static. It\u2019s easy to comment on the industry in a negative way &#8211; like its other people\u2019s responsibility (not ours) but shouldn\u2019t we be in this together? How can we collectively improve and not drag others down?<\/li>\n<li>What are some strategies you guys use that might be impactful for others to know about?<\/li>\n<li>Are there areas you see that need improvement straight away &#8211; if you had a magic wand what would you deal with first?<\/li>\n<li>What inspires you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/M4xUYx4VKmQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the webcast now!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"James Luscombe Webcast\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M4xUYx4VKmQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12178 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Headshot-1-copy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"the uk pt-problem with james luscombe\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fitpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Headshot-1-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fitpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Headshot-1-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fitpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Headshot-1-copy-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.fitpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Headshot-1-copy.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>James Luscombe <\/b>is the founder and Managing Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/studyactive.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Study Active<\/a> who are one of the UK\u2019s foremost Personal Training Course providers.
