How much does shipping cost?
The Academy is a digital program and comes with the textbook in digital format. You have the option of purchasing a physical textbook at checkout. If you opt for the physical textbook, shipping is free to the USA and $25 for international orders.
Can I enroll later?
You can. We don’t close enrollment.
But haven’t you already waited long enough?
My situation is different/unique … will this work for me?
With thousands of students from all walks of life in 80+ countries odds are that somebody in a similar situation to you has enrolled into OTA before you. That said, we’re happy to chat. Feel free to email us at [email protected] to speak about your specific 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 get access to the program all at once? / Can I just buy one part of the course?
The Online Trainer Academy experience is only available in full. From the textbook to all elements of the digital portal, all elements have been crafted to work together and are not available for individual sale.
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?
The Online Trainer Academy has students and grads in 75 different countries
The fundamentals are the fundamentals, no matter where you live and the systems were designed to work with all fitness professionals around the world.

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 red ‘buy now’ button for the payment plan.
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.
Does this come with Continuing Education Credits (CEC/CEU’s) for my certification?
The Online Trainer Academy Certification and business development program is trusted worldwide. You are guaranteed to receive CEC’s / CEU’s with your certifying body. Please note that this may require a petition on your end.
Upon passing the test and graduating you will get your certificate in the mail. This certificate, along with the detailed guidelines we provide in our Continuing Education Credits Approval Information guide that you can access within our student member portal has everything that you need.
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” and spend 5-10X what you’d invest into the Academy.
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.
Who is the Online Trainer Academy not for?
OTA is not for everybody
If you fit the following situations than OTA is not right for you.
- You want your hand-held. While we offer unlimited business coaching, we’re not going to babysit you. If you need direction and support at any time, we’re here for you but we aren’t going to be checking in with you to make sure that you did the work. Doing this would be a disservice to you. We’ll help you every step of the way but we won’t always be around. At the end of the day, you’re responsible for your own success.
- You are an 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.
- You’re brand new to the fitness industry. If you feel confident programming and in looking after your people, then you’re good to go. If not, then I suggest getting in-person experience first and come back to OTA later. So this is a time where you have to be honest with yourself. You can absolutely build a killer online training business with no in-person experience as long as you feel like you can take care of clients well. If you’re unsure, then best to give OTA (and online training) a pass and come back later.
- You hate social media. It’s possible to make it work without using social media but it will be a lot harder. If you absolutely hate social media you can still enroll in OTA but know that it will take you a lot longer to get going with clientele.
- You’re looking for a quick-fix, overnight solution. This is not a ‘get-rich quick’ program. It’s a ‘build a perfect business that grows with you’ program. That said, most of our students do begin getting their first few clients quickly.
What happens right after I enroll?
Immediately after enrolling you’ll be sent an email with login instructions for the Digital Portal.
Upon logging into the student success center (our digital portal) you will first enjoy a short onboarding module that includes a study plan and your downloads. From there, you’re off to the races!
