THE COURSE

What this actually is.

Online coaching is one of the fastest-growing areas in fitness. But most coaches struggle to make it work long term. This course focuses on what actually matters. Not programming. Not theory. The business behind it. You'll learn how to generate leads, convert them into paying clients, build systems that save you time, and deliver a coaching experience people stay for. It's designed for personal trainers, coaches and fitness professionals who want to build income beyond the gym floor and create a more flexible, scalable way of working. This is where you move from coaching sessions to building a coaching business.

IS THIS THE RIGHT COURSE

Your income is capped by the hours you can stand in a room.

There are only so many people who will pay for six in the morning and seven at night, and once those slots are full the only way up is to charge more or move. Coaching online is not easier, but it does remove the ceiling.

This is for you if

  • Your income is capped by the hours you can stand in a room
  • You already have clients and want to keep them when they move away
  • You want to build something that does not need you in a specific postcode

Look elsewhere if

  • You have no clients yet. Online is harder to start than in person
  • You want a quick route to passive income. It is a marketing job
  • You prefer coaching in person and would not enjoy the screen

ACCREDITATION

Who awards it, and what it is worth.

This is a CPD course rather than a regulated qualification. It is not awarded by an awarding organisation and it does not sit on the Ofqual framework. What it does is give you something specific you can use with clients on Monday, and a Create certificate that records it.

Awarded byCreate
StatusCPD, not a regulated qualification

You'll receive a Create certification upon completion. More importantly, you'll leave with a working foundation for your online coaching business, not just a certificate.

Why we are able to offer it

98.8% of learners rate the course as satisfactory or better. A qualification people do not rate is not worth selling, so if the course does not do what we say it does, we should not be keeping your money.

Right one · before you start 14 days to change your mind.

You have 14 days from the day you enrol to change your mind, for any reason. Fully online courses keep the full 14 days. Where a course includes in-person elements and you attend one inside the 14 days, the cancellation right ends at that point.

Right two · after you finish The Cast Iron Guarantee.

A separate promise that applies once you have completed the course. It is not a cancellation right and it is not affected by the 14 day period. Both exist, and you do not have to choose between them.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions people ask before enrolling.

Can I build an online fitness coaching business?

Yes. The course gives you the structure, systems and approach to build an online fitness coaching business from the ground up – covering how to package and price your services, the systems to grow your business, how to generate leads and convert them to paying customers, and much more. Your results will depend on how consistently you apply it, and you’ll have support from our team along the way.

Do I need to be a qualified PT before this course?

Yes. This course builds on existing fitness knowledge and focuses on the business of online coaching rather than coaching fundamentals, so you should already be a qualified personal trainer (Level 3). If you’re not yet qualified, the PT Diploma with Online Coaching combines both.

How long does the course take?

It’s self-paced with no set deadlines. It can be completed within around 2 months.

Is the Online Fitness Coaching course fully online?

Yes. All content is delivered online with no set start dates or deadlines, so you can begin immediately and study at your own pace.

What support do I get?

Our award winning support team are on hand to help 7 days a week.

What will I learn / what does it cover?

The systems and skills to run an online coaching business: client acquisition, packaging and pricing, delivery tools and client retention.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Clients who are not limited by how far you will drive.
