Personal Trainer Schema
Schema.org `Person` structured data for personal trainer bio pages — covering `hasCredential` for PT qualifications, `knowsAbout` for specialisations, `worksFor` for the training business, and `aggregateRating` for review display.
Definition
Personal trainer bio pages benefit from `Person` schema declaring the trainer\'s professional credentials, specialisations, and employer. There is no specific `PersonalTrainer` type in schema.org — the combination of `Person` schema on the bio page and `LocalBusiness`/`SportsActivityLocation` on the business homepage provides the closest semantic approximation. `Person` schema for a personal trainer: `@type: "Person"`, `name`, `jobTitle: "Personal Trainer"` or `"Fitness Coach"`, `image` (professional headshot URL), `url` (trainer bio page URL), `sameAs` (professional social profiles — LinkedIn, Instagram), `knowsAbout` array of specialisations: ["Postnatal fitness", "Strength and conditioning", "Weight loss", "Sport-specific training for runners"], `hasCredential` array: [{"@type": "EducationalOccupationalCredential", "name": "Level 3 Personal Training Certificate"}, {"@type": "EducationalOccupationalCredential", "name": "REPS Level 3 Registration"}, {"@type": "EducationalOccupationalCredential", "name": "Pre and Postnatal Fitness Specialist"}], `worksFor`: the `LocalBusiness` or `SportsActivityLocation` the trainer works with or runs, `aggregateRating`: client review aggregate if reviews are displayed on the bio page.
Why it matters for SEO
Personal trainer Person schema enables the trainer\'s bio page to carry explicit E-E-A-T signals — credential declarations (`hasCredential`) and expertise areas (`knowsAbout`) that Google can parse and use in quality assessment. For online coaching where the trainer\'s personal brand and authority drive purchasing decisions, well-implemented Person schema supports both AI Overview citation and organic search visibility for the trainer by name.
