What is the Online Coaching Certification?
THE FITNESS MENTORS CERTIFIED ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINER CERTIFICATION COURSE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO TRAIN CLIENTS ONLINE, GET NEW CLIENTS, SCALE YOUR BUSINESS, AND INCREASE YOUR PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
PERSONAL FREEDOM
FINANCIAL FREEDOM
The trainer of the future, and thanks to our COPT, the present, can learn to leverage six different methods of online training and create money-making opportunities for themselves while still serving clients. The way that an online trainer sets up their business will determine the amount of reach and the number of clients they can have. Making online income as a personal trainer can be done in many different ways and being at the forefront of exciting new methods will set you apart from the field.
SERVICE & ALTRUISM
What makes a personal trainer so unique as a fitness offering is the ability to earn the trust from clients looking to improve their health. This “personal” element of your service creates a connection between you and the client which satisfies a basic human need. When you build trust with clientele you are able to offer new online services to continue growing your business, while satisfying the thirst for your client’s interaction. The client will trust you to ensure they remain fit regardless of where or how you train.
JOB SECURITY
In a world where the fitness industry is overcrowded with thousands of different opportunities to get in shape, and dominated by large fitness companies, how does the personal trainer stay relevant? The answer is accessibility and trust. Taking your service online allows you to adapt to this change by being able to provide workouts and advice at any location in the world, at any time.
Learn Six Ways to Monetize Your Personal Trainer Business Online
THE FITNESS MENTORS CERTIFIED ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINER COURSE IS SETUP TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE MANY OPTIONS YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE VALUE TO YOUR CLIENTS AS AN ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINER AND HOW TO MONETIZE ALL OF THEM.
Learn how to structure business models for all the below:
- Private Personalized Online Training
- Non-Personalized PDF Fitness Programs
- Non-Personalized Video Fitness Programs
- Hybrid Online and In-Person Personal Training
- Live Video Streaming Workouts Online

You’ll learn how to create and offer these services as options for your clients and how to customize them into a business model that creates personal and financial freedom. Additionally, you’ll learn about other value-added services that can create lasting client relationships and increase goal achievement all while adding dollars to your pocket.
Here are a few of the additional services you’ll learn how to offer and monetize in our course that will set your business apart from other online personal training businesses:
- Nutritional Programs

The Future of Personal Training is Online Coaching
We built this course to teach you what you need to know to be a part of the evolution of the fitness industry. Don’t get left behind.
BUT I DON’T HAVE THE TIME.
The course is entirely online so you can sign on and complete modules at your leisure. If you only want to work a few minutes a day or a couple hours a week, this course works at your pace. Plus, the course is intended for you to actually free up more time while making more money, so you’ll be able to get any time you invest in the course back, and more.
BUT I DON’T WANT TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER EXAM.
This course is 100% online and contains a 100% online certification exam. Don’t leave home to study or take the exam if you don’t want to.
BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING BUSINESS TO START.
After you take this course you’ll be familiar with the pros and cons of six different online training business models as well as dozens of different services you are sure to resonate with. You’ll have an idea of what works best for you and you’ll have access to our coaches and mentors who can help you make critical decisions.
BUT I DON’T WANT ANOTHER RE-CERTIFICATION FEE.
Unlike other personal trainer certifications, the FM-COPT has no recertification necessary.
BUT I HAVE NEVER DONE TRAINING ONLINE.
Sure, online training is not the same as in-person training but the accomplishments you set for your clients are the same. The only difference is the medium is one that works better for you and the client. We’ll guide you step-by-step how to structure your business, work with clients, and generate more clients all online.
BUT I DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE OR SOCIAL PRESENCE.
We built this course from the ground up understanding that many trainers will have zero experience with the online world. Our easy-to-follow material and access to real instructors provide you with all the tools you need to create a business model, set a strategy, and start driving online sales through various online mediums like your website or social accounts.
