IN THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Achieving Excellence is about making choices. Whoever you are, whatever your background no longer is success determined by who your parents are, your genetics or what schooling you had.

Winners are Made not Born
Author of many books on excellence, Benjamine Bloom spent much of his career understanding what it takes to become the best. And he concluded that what one man can achieve almost any man can achieve with the correct support and desire to succeed! Success is a choice! Choose success and we will look forward to seeing you online.

WHAT IS THE ONLINE FITNESS ACADEMY?
The Online Fitness Academy is a School of Excellence for Personal Trainers and associated professionals. We offer flexible and accessible ways to stay up-to-date and supported in the expanding and exciting wellness industry.

We enable qualified and forward thinking trainers to access interesting and applied articles for download, attend a rolling virtual seminar program and engage with leading professionals in the industry via our live online courses and annual conference to train and excel as Academy Coaches and successful Personal Trainers.

 

BE PART OF THE NEXT REVOLUTION
A hundred year revolution...In the early 1900's Henry Ford developed the first mass-produced automobile. Critics claimed it would never work. There weren't any roads, how would they be fueled, there were no petrol stations and there certainly weren't any garages or driving schools. From no way came a way and by the year 2000 there were in excess of 500 million cars on the roads and a multitrillion dollar industry was born. Now that's a revolution!

A Revolution in Just 10 Years...1981 saw the coming of the personal computer and again many could not see its potential. But by 1991 this industry surpassed the US automobile industry bringing about an even bigger multitrillion dollar revolution in just 10 years. Now that's a modern day revolution.

The Next Revolution - 'Wellness'... Read Paul Zane Pilzer's The New Wellness Revolution (see our links page) and get excited about the opportunities that lay ahead in the future wellness revolution set to become another multitrillion dollar industry and perhaps the greatest revolution ever - and it won't take ten years to occur! Now that's a revolution you can be part of!

ABOUT THE ACADEMY'S EDUCATION PROGRAM
If you have the ambition we can help you achieve your dreams. Exciting opportunities lay ahead and you have the power to create your own future the way you want it...

BRINGING EDUCATION TO YOU!
As the world evolves, the more we need to move in and out of education throughout our lives. The Online Fitness Academy brings such flexibility and structure to the ongoing training and support of personal trainers and related professionals. Our unique and innovative approach brings the best of accelerated learning techniques, coaching practice and career support as well as live and recorded online and face-to-face course delivery to empower you to excel.

Think of The Online Fitness Academy as your career guide and support internship. Everyone strives to attain and everyone can do better. With support anyone and everyone can achieve greatness if the desire is there to do so. Staying motivated, inspired and fresh is, however, a challenge and often we look for sources of support to keep us focused and on-track. Be inspired to inspire others!

YOUR EARNING POWER DEPENDES ON YOUR LEARNING POWER
In a world with information in abundance it isn't lack of knowledge that is the barrier but the degree to which we can decipher the information, make meaningful summary, apply what we know and use what we glean from such information to our unique situation. As the world evolves we need to move in and out of education rapidly throughout our lives. The Online Fitness Academy offers such flexibility and convenience to your continual and progressive growth and development throughout your career.

A FUTURE VISION
All trainers will one day be as capable in exercise psychology as they are in exercise physiology, as competent in coaching principles as training principles and as aware of their role as a facilitator of change as they are advice givers.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE A LIFESTYLE-FITNESS COACH?

A lifestyle fitness coach is grounded in exercise psychology and behaviour change theory and application. Of course they understand exercise programming, correct technique instruction and fitness assessment, however, like a counsellor knows counselling and a psychologist knows the psychology of human behaviour, we believe a fitness coach must be grounded in coaching application and as such an Academy Lifestyle-Fitness Coach is an already qualified personal trainer with lifestyle coaching skills to make sure this time you achieve everything you desire.

Being fit and feeling fantastic is fantastic. You don't have to be perfect just happy with who you are. If loosing some weight and possessing more energy appeals; if being stronger and more agile is tempting; if being you only better is what you desire - maybe getting a Lifestyle-Fitness Coach is the answer?

WHY MIGHT I OPT FOR AN ONLINE FITNESS COACH?

An Online Fitness Coach is a Lifestyle-Fitness Coach with training to deliver their support and guidance virtually via a live consultation suite just for you and your coach. Such flexibility combined with coaching expertise means we are accessable and able to keep your program 'on-track' through weekly and monthly meetings helping goal-set, support, guide and nurture your new habits through both the good but also more challenging times - which there will be!

TAKE ACTION NOW!

WHY? Because you're worth it and you know to trust your instincts - if this feels right, run with it. The sooner you start, the sooner you will achieve results in fitness.

OUR CORE MESSAGE

Personal Trainers and other health and fitness professionals may now upgrade their skills and learn to better facilitate new habit formation of their clients, helping get serious about making sure every client achieves results through expert coaching and support.

Whether integrated into normal face-to-face operations or used as an online coaching tool to enable current clients to ease away from Personal Taining but keep professional contact through your virtual PT service, becoming a Lifestyle-Fitness Coach is your next logical progression if you really want to positively influence the lives of many.

Members of the public need not swap and change trainers. Those fearful of the gym environment need not battle with the gym-thing any longer. Virtual Personal Training or Online Fitness Coaching offers a chance to access professional help easily and without apprehension. Every first session is free so why not taste what you could be experiencing to help fight the inevitable in today's society and instead feel fitter, look great and be proud of what you can achieve when you put your mind to it!

Good luck in whatever you choose.

 

EXCELLENCE IN FITNESS EDUCATION AND SUPPORT

Making Continueing Professional Development a Habit

EMPOWERED TO EXCEL

ACADEMY COACHING
We coach YOU to excel at coaching clients toward achieving their results not just sometimes but every time.

WHY DO WE EXIST?
To empower excellence; to offer much needed support to succeed at the highest level. Because there is a distinct absence of the support you need to become the best you can become we offer a bridge between PT practice and professional career support.

WHO ARE WE?
As leaders in the fields of sports science, exercise counselling, personal training and business coaching we are fundamentally educationists experienced in PT and exercise support services offering an opportunity for you to excel.

HOW DO WE DO THINGS?
We offer live online and recorded online video/audio conferencing, live face-to-face workshops, a virtual reference library and flexible approach to ongoing continuing professional development to make it easy to stay current and focused on what you need to succeed.

WHO SHOULD USE IT?
All personal trainers, sports science graduates and allied health professionals involved in helping people make permanent and meaningful lifestyle changes should consider applying to become an Academy member.

Members of the public looking for personal and flexible guidance toward becoming fitter in mind, body and spirit should look into how an online fitness coach might provide the support you are looking for.

WHY WOULD MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SEEK AN ONLINE FITNESS COACH?
The reality is people desire change (changes in appearance, health status, fitness, weight and happiness) but change is notoriously difficult. The academy addresses this quandary head-on by offering online and telephone mediated support to those wishing to improve their health and fitness but without the necessity to commit to the regular traditional personal training paradigm.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONAL TRAINING AND LIFESTYLE-FITNESS COACHING?
A personal trainer’s education and training paradigm is grounded in principles of fitness and instructional intervention. A lifestyle-fitness coach is facilitative in their approach and collaborative in their support. They are trained in motivational theory and able to apply principles of behaviour change to personal training practice.

WHAT I.T. SKILLS DO I NEED?
The software does the work so you don’t have to. It is as simple as one download and buying a head set and microphone – you are then ready to rumble. No superior IT skills are necessary.

HOW IS THE ONLINE FITNESS ACADEMY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MEMBERSHIP GROUPS AND REGISTRY BODIES?
We are not about vocational or entry level qualifications, registrations or standardising the industry. We offer unrivalled support and guidance to the career minded fitness professional to succeed at the highest level.

IS THE ACADEMY ONLY ONLINE?
No, whilst there is much that is online we also offer stand-alone face-to-face workshops to help you up-skill and grow your business.

WHAT DOES THE ACADEMY OFFER QUALIFIED TRAINERS?
Only inspired and inspiring trainers need apply. And motivated trainers will already value ongoing education and support. The academy offers great opportunity for all of us to share ideas and examples of good practice. The PT industry is only relatively young – the Academy offers a unique and innovative opportunity for everyone to benefit. We invite everyone to a virtual seminar to take a look.
