Malta’s Top 10 Personal Trainers:Celebrating Excellence in Fitness
The wait is over! We are proud to reveal the winners of Malta’s Top 10 Personal Trainers, a celebration of the talent, innovation, and dedication driving Malta’s fitness community forward.
In October last year, voting opened to highlight the trainers, studios, and community leaders who inspire and motivate us daily. After months of follow-up and review, we’re delighted to share the results with you.
Rather than compiling a simple list of the top 10 one-to-one personal trainers, we’ve categorised the awards to reflect the diversity within Malta’s fitness industry. From group training specialists to up-and-coming newcomers, and from community fitness leaders to innovative personal training studios, this approach celebrates the unique contributions that make Malta’s fitness scene so dynamic and inclusive.
The European Personal Training Institute (EPTI) is proud to have organised this year’s competition, drawing on its reputation for producing top-tier fitness professionals in Malta. With years of experience delivering accredited qualifications and shaping successful trainers, EPTI is uniquely positioned to recognise and celebrate the outstanding talent within the industry.
