Trademark classes · By business type
Which trademark classes does a personal trainer need?
Most personal trainers register in class 41 (Education & entertainment).
Personal training, coaching and fitness programmes sit in the education-and-sport class, the same class as gyms and yoga studios. Trainers with their own activewear or nutrition advice add the clothing and wellness classes.

Before you file in class 41, make sure the name is free. If it's already taken, your application can be refused — and the £205 IPO fee isn't refunded. Checking takes seconds and costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
- What trademark class is a personal trainer in?
- Most personal trainers register in class 41. Class 41 covers education & entertainment. You only ever register the classes that match what you actually sell.
- Do personal trainers need to register in more than one class?
- Often, yes. A trademark is only protected in the classes you register, and you pay a fee for each one. Personal trainers usually start with class 41, then add others as the business grows.
- How much does it cost a personal trainer to register a trademark?
- Filing direct with the UK IPO costs £205 for the first class and £60 for each additional class, so a personal trainer covering class 41 pays about £205. The fee isn't refunded if your mark is refused — which is why checking the name is free first matters. See the full cost breakdown.
