How is this different from other online personal trainer courses?
Most courses only give you a certification—but that doesn’t teach you how to actually get clients and make money online.
The OPTS Certificate is a business-building program designed for trainers who want to create a real, profitable coaching career online.
✅ Step-by-step business strategy (not just theory)
✅ Sales & marketing systems (no more wondering “how do I get clients?”)
✅ Practical assignments that build your actual business
By the end of the course, you won’t just have a certificate—you’ll have a fully operational online training business.
Do I need to already have an in-person training business to succeed?
No! Whether you’re transitioning from in-person training or starting fresh, this course gives you the exact roadmap to establish and grow an online business—even if you have zero clients right now.
If you already train in-person: This course will help you transition online, expand your income, and create more flexibility.
If you're starting from scratch: We’ll walk you through everything from choosing your niche to getting your first paying clients.
However, it is highly recommended that you already have a Certified Personal Trainer credential for completing the OPTS course.

✔ Social media marketing (how to attract clients without dancing on TikTok)
✔ Content that converts (posts, emails, and videos that bring in leads)
✔ Referral & networking strategies to build a steady stream of clients
If you want to use paid ads later, the course includes ad strategies that won’t waste your money.
