Create a successful fitness business

TRAIN CLIENTS ONLINE
The Online Trainer Academy is a comprehensive certification program designed to show fitness professionals like you how to build and and grow an online training business for more income and freedom in a smart and strategic way.

Be one of the first in the world to become a Certified Online Trainer (OTC)

We haven’t skipped any details.

Here, you will learn exactly how to build, run and grow your own successful online training business, even if you’re starting from scratch. Best of all, it will be a business that you have total control over and can ‘ramp up’ whenever you want.

This isn’t a useless get-rich-overnight scam. The in-depth program materials have been meticulously developed with input from 28 professional online trainers, marketers and business owners.

If you’re tired of chasing tips and tricks and feel energized by the idea of finally learning everything you need to know to build your own profitable online training business and want a certification to prove it, the Online Trainer Academy is for you.

When you put in the work you will reap the rewards: a business of your design and the freedom that comes with it – whatever that freedom means to you.

What is The Online Trainer Academy?

LEARN ALL ABOUT IT IN LESS THAN 45 SECONDS
The Online Trainer Academy is an evolution of The PTDC’s successful 1K Extra program. You’ve seen on The PTDC that we don’t mess around. The systems we teach are tested, high-performing and repeatable. In the Online Trainer Academy you get an insider’s look at every single one of them.

TRANSFORMATIONAL TRAINING

A thorough certification and transformational business program that teaches you, step by step, how to capitalize on your specialities and implement specific systems to build a successful full- or part-time online training business.

CAREFULLY
CRAFTED

A program where content has been sorted into simple, easy-to-follow chapters and modules that show you exactly what to do and what mistakes to avoid.

CERTIFICATION IN ONLINE TRAINING

An academy that gives back: When you’ve finished the program you’ll receive the Online Trainer Certified (OTC) credentials to display to your prospective clients setting yourself apart in the marketplace.

 The Online Trainer Academy empowers fitness trainers everywhere to live life on their own terms by building their own successful online business.

WHAT MAKES THE ONLINE TRAINER ACADEMY

GAME-CHANGING?

Always be prepared. You get every script, worksheet, and template you’ll ever need, so you don’t need to waste any time figuring them out. Use ours as they are or individualize to make them your own.

Differentiate yourself in the marketplace. Build authority and client trust. You’re one of the good ones. By proudly displaying that you’re a Certified Online Trainer (OTC) you set yourself above the incessant noise of the online fitness industry.

Go at your own pace and work to your own schedule. Whether that means diving all-in or investing just 1-3 hours a week, you can study at a pace that fits your lifestyle. New course materials and modules unlock as you go – there’s no time limit.

Learn systems used by experts who’ve walked the talk. The reality of business is that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution that works for everybody, so learning just one person’s system makes no sense. Over 28 marketing, business and fitness professionals contributed to the Online Trainer Academy, and they held nothing back. You will learn the exact systems they use to run multiple successful online business, then implement the ones that work best for your unique situation.

Study anywhere in the world, 24/7. In addition to your online portal username and password, you’ll receive a physical textbook and workbook. This means you can access all of The Online Trainer Academy materials no matter where you are as long as you have an Internet connection. By the way, we ship worldwide for free.

Allow client fitness to dictate business (finally!). You will learn how to build a business that benefits every time your clients meet their fitness goals with the highly effective “hybrid model”.

Lifetime access. We’re here for you now and as your business grows. Review, refresh and re-learn whenever you need to with guaranteed access for at least ten years. You’ll also get all program updates, such as new ad systems or modules, the moment they’re released – we won’t ask for a cent.

Protect yourself. Get expert online training legal advice and take advantage of exclusive discounts from our worldwide insurance provider partner.

Get clients. Learn attraction marketing, top of mind marketing, effective Facebook ad marketing and how to build a powerful client-onboarding system that will work for years to come.

“Jon showed me how to leverage the exposure that I was getting through photo shoots to make more money. He then helped me develop the passive income I needed to add an element of freedom back into my life.”

– Caithleen Heffernan (WBFF pro)

This course changed my life and it could do the same for you too! To those of you getting started I will say that the OTA provides more than enough concepts to take you far in the online space.

– Michael Beiter (Personal trainer) pillarcoachingservices.com

IT'S TIME TO

PLAY BIG

BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD’S FIRST
CERTIFIED ONLINE TRAINERS
Being certified puts you way ahead of the competition. It assures prospective clients of your professionalism, expertise and dedication.

Imagine there’s somebody looking to hire an online trainer. They’ve found you, a certified online trainer, and someone else who claims to be a fitness expert but lacks any real credentials. Who is the client likely to choose? It’s a no-brainer.

Why was this course created?

IN THE VIDEO BELOW YOU’LL HEAR FROM JONATHAN GOODMAN AS HE EXPLAINS
WHY HE CREATED THE ONLINE TRAINING ACADEMY

WHAT SOME PREVIOUS STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY:

“I right away knew that he (Jon) was a guy that you could trust…”

“I noticed that I was getting a little burnt out..

“I have to do it at some point, and this is the program for me.” 

“When I invested, I was doing both one-on-one and online training but really didn’t know how to deal with online training”

“I had seen things that he had done with other friends of mine that had taken the program”

“I was looking for reassurance and guidance to elevate and grow my online training so I could spend more time with my family”

What does freedom mean to you?

THE JOB TAKES PASSION, AND YOU HAVE THAT. RIGHT NOW YOU MIGHT ALSO HAVE THE ENERGY TO KEEP UP WITH ITS DEMANDS. BUT WHAT IN 5, 10, OR HECK, EVEN 20 YEARS? MAYBE YOU ENJOY THE GRIND RIGHT NOW. BUT HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF…
“What am I gonna do when I wanna spend more time with my family?”
“What if I want to travel one day?”
Or even “What if I simply want more time to myself?”

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH A CONVENTIONAL CAREER IN FITNESS IS THAT YOU'RE NEVER IN CONTROL.

A client gets sick, you don’t get paid. A client goes on vacation, you don’t get paid. A client moves out of the area, you lose an income stream.

You get sick or injured, you don’t get paid. You go on vacation, you don’t get paid. The list goes on and on.

It’s a frustrating and difficult way to live.

It’s time to take back control.

IT'S TIME TO WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER.

As a fitness trainer you’re in an excellent position to create freedom in your life. By moving online you can train clients from anywhere and keep them on track no matter what their schedule looks like.

Online training is a more cost-effective solution for your clients than conventional training. And, if you follow the systems in the program, you can provide the same (or even higher) level of service and increase your income.

AND YOU CAN DO IT FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. HECK, YOU COULD EVEN WORK FROM A BEACH IF YOU WANT.

Freedom means something to different to everybody. It might mean travelling, spending more time with family, giving back by volunteering or even something crazy like sleeping in past 6am.

Whatever your definition of freedom is, online training can get you there.

DEMAND FOR

ONLINE TRAINERS IS

HIGHER THAN EVER

GRAB HOLD OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. TAKE ACTION

There are a lot of trainers who “kind of” do online training, but only a small number take it seriously. Business is booming for online trainers, and there’s just one question you need to ask yourself:

Are you going to join the growing snowball or just throw little snowballs?

The online training marketplace is growing at a rapid rate. Most online trainers out there are throwing little snowballs, missing out by guessing at building their business and lacking real direction.

After all, The Online Trainer Academy is the very first complete program that explains exactly how to do it – this information just isn’t available anywhere else.

But are you ready to leave your competition in the dust and take advantage of this golden opportunity?

We asked over 22,000 trainers what was holding them back from training online. Everyone had their own unique story, but a few common themes came up again and again. We listened, and built The Online Trainer Academy to address each of the following issues:

TIME. You told us that you are busy. Your social life, relationships, family, and training leaves you with no time to build and market another business. You’re burnt out and “can’t possibly take on anything else”.

We listened. The Online Trainer Academy can be completed at your own pace and there’s no time limit. Dive all in or just invest 1-3 hours a week – it’s entirely up to you. And when you’ve finished the program and have your own successful online business, you’ll have way more free time to do the things you love.

OVERWHELMED. You told us that you have no idea where to begin or focus your attention. Software, marketing, package creation, pricing, client acquisition, client retention, monthly memberships… there’s so much to think about.

We listened. The Online Trainer Academy is strategically organized into chapters and modules, allowing you to focus on just one thing at a time. All complex information is presented in a simple, easy-to-understand way. We show you how to move forward systematically, building your business and systems as you go.

CAN’T GET CLIENTS. You told us that you tried to get clients and it didn’t work.

We listened. The Online Trainer Academy includes a whole host of proven client-acquisition systems. They’re all honest, ethical and get outstanding results. Most don’t cost a dime.

ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. You told us you’ve conducted in-depth research, but still don’t know which are the best systems for you and your situation. You’re “suffering from information overload”.

We listened. Every fitness business is unique, so there isn’t just one system that will work for everyone. In addition to learning the systems used by over 20 business owners, marketers and fitness entrepreneurs, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your business. You will then use your workbook to guide you as you choose the systems that work best for your individual situation.

CAN’T TRAIN ONLINE. You told us that you only know how to train in-person. You’re daunted by the idea of moving online.

We listened. Training online is different to training offline, but the concept is still the same. You’re still helping clients smash their fitness goals, but making more profit to boot! The Online Trainer Academy shows you how to be an awesome online trainer by using your existing skills and new online-specific systems for assessing, delivering programs, and empowering clients to keep going with their workouts.

NOT ENOUGH ONLINE PRESENCE. You told us that you don’t have enough followers, likes or subscribers to promote an online business.

We listened. In The Online Trainer Academy, we show you step-by-step how to build a profitable online presence, even if you’re starting from zero.

INSTRUCTOR

JONATHAN GOODMAN

Jonathan Goodman is the creator of the world’s largest free collaborative community for trainers, the Personal Trainer Development Center (PTDC) and author of Ignite the Fire and Viralnomics. His books are used by individual trainers, gym owners, mentorships, and colleges around the world. Jon has spoken about online training in Canada, the United States, and Europe at Universities and for certifications like the NSCA.

He is an advisor to online trainer software companies like Trainerize and Exercise.com and has been featured in Men’s Health, Muscle & Fitness, and Schwarzenegger.com. Forbes called him, “one of the industry’s best examples of trainer/social media crossover.”

But learning from just one person, no matter how successful they are, is limiting.

That’s why over 27 online business, marketing and fitness experts have contributed to The Online Trainer Academy’s curriculum. This means that you’ll be exposed to a hugely varied range of systems – and every single one is proven to work.

“Learning from just one person, no matter how successful they are, is limiting.”

THE THREE PILLARS OF

ONLINE SUCCESS

THE ONLINE TRAINER ACADEMY HAS BEEN BUILT AROUND THE FOLLOWING THREE PILLARS. EACH ONE IS CRITICAL TO RUNNING A TRULY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

PILLAR #1

Systems

Build a smart business that works for you, not against you. A smart business will buy you time, operate in a manner that you dictate and improve as time goes on. Operational systems aren’t sexy, but they’re your foundation. Without them you will topple and fall.

Jon Goodman is an expert in building online training models

– Adam Bornstein (Born Fitness, NYT bestselling author)

PILLAR #2

Marketing

Use savvy, high-integrity marketing. You’ll learn how to get your business seen and acquire clients quickly as soon as you’re ready. You’ll also see how to build a network of ideal clients who know, like and trust you. When they’re ready for an online trainer, they come to you – it takes just 10 to 20 minutes of focused efforts each day. All the marketing systems and scripts are ready for you to edit and use.

With Jon’s marketing help we tripled the number of clients we signed up during our enrollment period from the previous. He’s the man!

– Molly Galbraith (Girls Gone Strong)

PILLAR #3

Service

Delight your clients. You’ll learn how to acquire the right long-term online clients for you. We’ll show you how to “activate” them to get the initial buy-in, apply the psychology of adherence to improve their training and accurately assess their progress to create insightful reports. They’ll be delighted with your service, crush their fitness goals and refer others.

Jon knows what it takes to ensure that your online clients get great results, and we’re all fortunate that he’s willing to teach it to others.

– Dr. John Berardi (Precision Nutrition)

“I feel that I owe Jonathan Goodman. He is one of the very few people associated with the fitness industry who I would discuss strategic business issues with, and he is pretty much the only person whom I have taken any business advice from in the last 2-3 years that I’ve wanted to then go out and execute on behalf of UP. He is clearly smart, he is generous with his time and knowledge.

I believe that he is one of the rare as rocking horse s**t few in “fitness marketing” who isn’t just regurgitating the same old pile it high, talk a load of BS trip that’s prevalent in the industry today.

All of Jonathan’s stuff, be it this program or his books are thought provoking, great value for money, and come with my personal endorsement.”

– Nick Mitchell (Ultimate Performance Global)

– Charles Bell (Personal trainer and nutritionist in Arkansas, United States) firstklassnutrition.trainerize.com

THE ONLINE TRAINER ACADEMY ENROLLMENT PERIOD ENDS MARCH 2

THERE’S A SPECIFIC REASON WHY THE ACADEMY IS ONLY OPEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

I like spending more time serving online trainers than promoting to trainers. So like a college or university, enrollment is only open for a short period of time.

After enrollment closes I shift focus to supporting and helping members of the Academy thrive. That’s why it’s important you know that the registration period ends at 11:59pm EST on Thursday, March 2nd. You must register before this time.

There will be no exceptions.

There will never be a better time than today because if you do nothing today, how do you expect tomorrow to be any different.

WE GUARANTEE WORLD CLASS QUALITY

From the textbook, to the workbook, to the easy-to-use Digital Portal: love, care, and painstaking attention to detail was put into every part of the Academy. We’re there for you every step of the way. Our online support ensures you successfully create the perfect online training business for you.

WE GUARANTEE CLARITY

You will gain a much deeper understanding about your business and about how to market your services effectively. When you implement the systems taught in The Online Trainer Academy and display your Online Trainer Certification you will stand out from the crowd – even if you’re starting from scratch.

WE GUARANTEE MORE FREEDOM

All five Online Trainer Academy modules are built around one fundamental theory: time is your most valuable asset, and you should do everything in your power to buy it back. Once you do, you’re in control. In six months to a year, you will look back at the Academy as a major turning point in your life.

90-DAY MONEY BACK ZERO-RISK GUARANTEE

If you don’t feel like we’ve delivered on our promise after going through the course materials, send us an email within 90 days of your enrollment. So long as you’ve submitted all of your snapshot worksheets in the Digital Portal, we’ll refund 100% of your investment minus a 10% restocking fee. We insist that you submit your worksheets because the systems we give you work – but only if you put them into action. Your worksheets are proof that you’ve worked through the program materials and put them into action.

HEAR IT STRAIGHT FROM 138 TRAINERS WHO HAVE HAD SUCCESS

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO

GET CERTIFIED?

“INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.” – ALBERT EINSTEIN

We know you’re busy. That’s why we created The Online Trainer Academy – because freedom is just as important as profit, and we want to show you how to get more of both.

Think about it. If you’re overwhelmed and unhappy with your business now, what the heck does the future hold?

BUT HERE’S THE THING… IF YOU DO NOTHING TODAY, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TOMORROW TO BE ANY DIFFERENT?

If you want more freedom, you’ve got to make a change. Waiting until you have more time isn’t the answer, because there will never be a “perfect time”.

If you never get started, you’ll never reap the rewards of success. Goals and dreams are just pie in the sky without a solid plan to achieve them.

The truth is, you will probably never feel really ready to take that leap. Now is the time to begin. At the end of module one is a system you can apply to get a few new clients. Once that’s in place, you’ll have bought back a little more time to invest into The Online Trainer Academy.

The Online Trainer Academy materials are there for you, on your schedule.

You can go at your own pace and there’s no time limit. You could complete all materials within a few weeks of full-time study or you can work through it over many months. It’s totally up to you.

The materials are accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world. Study any time, from anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection.

How long it takes to complete the program depends on how much time you can invest in studying each week. If you can dedicate 3 – 5 hours each week it should take 8 – 12 weeks to complete. If you don’t have that much free time, no worries – there’s no time limit. You really can go at your own pace.

FAQ

SINCE INTRODUCING THE ONLINE TRAINER ACADEMY, WE’VE BEEN INUNDATED WITH EMAILS THAT LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

'Hi, how's it going? I’d love to be a certified online trainer - the Online Trainer Academy sounds great!
But, I'm not sure it's right for me or my situation...'

We want you to make the right choice for your situation. So let’s take a look at some of the common questions we receive:

How much does shipping cost? Isn’t it expensive?

Yes, shipping is very expensive. But we include free worldwide shipping, so nothing to worry about there.

Can I enroll later?

Enrollment will be open again in November. So, you can enroll later, but we’ve got a better idea.

If you’re interested in the program but don’t have time to do it right now, enrolling today means you have access to the program whenever you’re ready. If you don’t enroll now, you’ll have to wait until next time it opens and there’s no guarantees that the price will stay the same. Once you’ve enrolled, you get lifetime updates at no additional cost. So even if you’re not ready now, but know you will be soon, take advantage and simply start when you can.

My situation is different/unique … will this work for me?

The beautiful thing about online training is that it doesn’t matter what type of clientele you work with, what your personal situation is right now, or where you live in the world. We’ll show you how to build the right kind of business for you from the ground up, regardless of your situation.

I don’t have much time, I have kids, a busy training job, another job, etc.

The Online Trainer Academy is completely streamlined and engineered for rapid, profitable implementation. It’s not just theory and training – you’ll be spending as much time doing as you will learning, building and growing your business as you go. All fluff is eliminated and (so long as you put in the work) you’ll start seeing a Return on Investment and a Return on Time real soon – not in some distant, nebulous future.

You can spend as much or as little time working through The Online Trainer Academy materials as you wish. If you invest 3 – 5 hours each week, the program should take 8 – 12 weeks to complete. In six months to a year you’ll have more free time than ever.

Can I talk to Jon? How much support do I get?

We’re there for you every step of the way. While Jon isn’t available for any 1-on-1 calls, we do have an incredible support community hosted on Facebook and you’ll be matched with a coach for email support. You’ll get answers from other students, fitness entrepreneurs, and successful online business owners.

Can I get access to the program all at once? / Can I just buy one part of the course?

Upon enrolling you get access to introductory materials to work on before your textbook and workbook arrives free in the mail. Entering the password from the textbook into the Digital Portal will unlock the first module. As you complete each module, the next will unlock.

We decided to build The Online Trainer Academy this way so as not to overwhelm you with too much information at once. You’ll get access to materials precisely when you need them as you build your online training business. Once you pass the test, graduation materials become available. You have lifetime access to all materials to review whenever you like – we guarantee at least 10 years.


The Online Trainer Academy experience is only available in full. From the textbook to all elements of the digital portal and workbook all elements have been crafted to work together and are not available for individual sale.

What happens right after I enroll?

Immediately after enrolling you’ll be sent an email with login instructions for the Digital Portal. You can complete the introductory materials while waiting for your textbook and workbook to arrive. Your textbook contains a password that unlocks module one in the Digital Portal.

Is my credit card information secure? Can I use PayPal?

You can use Paypal or any major credit card. All transactions are processed on a server secured with 256-bit ssl – the industry standard for encryption of data online. We never store credit card information.

What if I live in the UK, Europe, Australia, or anywhere other than North America?

Yes, we have graduates all around the world from India to Australia to all over Europe and North America.

The fundamentals are the fundamentals, no matter where you live. How you apply the systems and techniques will change but it has less to do with location and more to do with the individual. Don’t worry though, you’re walked through every step of the way to building the right kind of online training business for you.

Do you have a payment plan?

Yes. Click the red ‘Enroll Now” button top right of your page to get to the purchase widget and click the big green button for the payment plan.

Can't I just learn this online for free?

Probably. There’s a seemingly endless amount of information for free on every topic, even one as new as online training, available online if you’re willing to look long and hard enough.

The Online Trainer Academy is not about ‘secret’ tactics, hidden videos, or magical systems. It’s an experience. Our materials have been carefully improved upon since 2013 with help from the feedback of thousands of students before you. What we’ve built for you is a curriculum, start-to-finish, not a whole bunch of haphazardly and random information.

Does this come with software, is software necessary, or what if I already use software?

The Online Trainer Academy does not require any software installation. All study is completed in our online learning environment, the Digital Portal. To access your course simply open your favorite browser and log in to the Portal.

You don’t have to invest in software to use the business systems we teach – we give you free workout templates to send to your clients via Google docs. However, we do explore some professional software options that will enhance your business. Whether you choose to use the software is up to you. We’ll show you how to make your business succeed either way.

I’m moving to a new area / in the military where I’ll have no existing client base. Will this work for me?

Moving to a new area as a trainer is not an easy thing to do. But breathe easy, The Online Trainer Academy will work for you. First, online training will allow you to keep some of your existing clients. Secondly, if you don’t have an existing client base right now, we’ll show you the exact steps to grow a brand new one faster than ever before.

Does this come with Continuing Education Credits (CEC/CEU's) for my certification?

Almost every certifying body has a process to submit a summary of a program for review to gain Continuing Education Credits. We’re currently in the process of getting preapproved for CEU’s with many of the major governing bodies. But even without preapproval status, odds are very high that you’ll get credit through your certifying body’s petition process. We have never had a student get turned down for CEC’s or CEU’s from any certifying body anywhere in the world.

Upon passing the test and graduating you will get your certificate in the mail. Within the digital portal we have included details of how to petition for CEC/CEU’s from all major certifying bodies for you to follow. If you need assistance in this process, we will help you navigate it.

What qualifies you to teach a program / offer a certification like this?

The Personal Trainer Development Center (PTDC) is in a very unique position in the worldwide fitness industry. It’s the largest independent collaborative community in the world, dedicated to finding and curating the best information available without any ulterior motive or outside influence. We’ve done a tremendous amount of research through surveys, phone calls and the experiences of the previous 1,000+ students of the Online Trainer Academy and the 1K Extra course that it evolved from since 2013.

In addition, The Online Trainer Academy isn’t just the work of one person. The 28 program contributors are marketing professionals, efficiency experts, successful online coaches and trainer-business coaches. They…

  • Have written NYT Bestselling books in health and fitness
  • Own 7-figure online coaching businesses
  • Co-founded health startups with one million+ users
  • Grown the fastest-growing single-author blog of all time

We believe that learning one system from one person is not enough. The PTDC’s unique position has allowed us to curate the best from around the world to craft The Online Trainer Academy and Online Trainer Certification.

How does the Academy compare to other options?

There aren’t any other serious options. If you’re interested in building the perfect online training business for you then then Online Trainer Academy is the most actionable, easy-to-follow, thorough and best-researched program on the market.

You could learn one system from one coach, but if that doesn’t work for your situation you’ve wasted a lot of time and money. You could also enroll on a program that promises to somehow, magically, teach you how to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars while sipping cocktails on the beach with your business on “autopilot”.

Maybe you’d gain some useful information, but no other program shows you the inner workings of multiple proven systems like The Online Trainer Academy does.

We’ve been teaching and improving our systems since 2013 – in fact, we were one of the first to ever teach online training. If you found your way here you’ve probably followed the PTDC or Jonathan Goodman for a while now, and you know that we don’t mess around.

Is The Online Trainer Academy accredited by a national education board?

No, the Academy is not accredited. It is strongly recommended to view the OTC designation as a supplement to an accredited personal training certification in your region.

Who is the Online Trainer Academy not for?

It’s not for those looking for a one-on-one business coach.

The Academy is also not right if you consider yourself a fairly advanced online fitness marketer. If you are looking for guidance on complicated paid advertising techniques, split testing, or building out automated funnels, this program is not for you.

If you are a brand new trainer it’s recommended that you gain at least one year of in-person training experience before training clients online. If you don’t have any online training experience but have already been training in-person then no problem, you’re in good shape for this program.

This program is not for people who don’t want to do any work. You will be guided the entire way but if you’re not willing to put in the work or take action, then we suggest you give it a pass.

Finally, the Academy is not right for people who are looking for overnight solutions. This is not a ‘get-rich quick’ program. It’s a ‘build a perfect business that grows with you’ program.
