WHY TRAIN WITH THE PT ACADEMY?

Hey, I’m John, founder of The PT Academy, and someone who knows what it feels like to love fitness… but have no idea how to turn it into something more.

Years ago, I owned two gyms that were packed with people, and constantly short on great coaches.

Not because there weren’t passionate people out there.

But because most PT courses only taught how to pass a test… not how to coach real people or build a career with confidence.

That’s when I realised something had to change.

I didn’t want to just hand out certificates. I wanted to build coaches - confident, capable, real-world-ready coaches who could walk into a gym and actually help people.

So I created The PT Academy - a 16-week course designed to give you everything I wish new coaches had when I was hiring.

We’ve now helped over 1,000 people from all walks of life get certified, start coaching, and build a career doing something they love - even if they’d never coached before.

Because when you do something you actually care about, everything else gets better.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have no experience. Can I still become a PT?

Absolutely. Most of our students have never coached before. If you’re passionate about fitness and love helping others, we’ll give you the skills, knowledge, and support to become a confident, qualified coach.

Is this course fully online?

It’s mostly online, designed to fit around your life. You’ll study through our flexible online platform, and you’ll also attend 4 in-person practical workshops so you can gain real-world coaching experience in a gym setting.

How do the workshops work?

We run practical workshops regularly in real gyms. You’ll get hands-on experience coaching, programming, and working with real people, so when you graduate, you’re not just certified, you’re confident.

Do I really get a guaranteed job interview?

Yes, once you complete the course and pass your assessments, you’ll be booked in for an interview with one of our trusted gym partners. Many of our students land their first coaching opportunity straight from that interview.

Is this qualification recognised?

Yes, your certification is fully recognised and industry approved, allowing you to work in gyms, online, or freelance as a personal trainer across the UK and Ireland.

What if I’m already working full-time?

That’s exactly who we built this for. The online modules are flexible, so you can study in the evenings or weekends. The 4 in-person workshops are spaced out and scheduled with plenty of notice.

Do I need to be super fit to become a PT?

Not at all. Being a great coach isn’t about having a six-pack, it’s about understanding people, coaching confidently, and helping clients reach their goals. You’ll build your knowledge and confidence throughout the course.
