You don’t need to “figure it all out.”
You need a proven roadmap that shows you exactly how to go from in-person PT to profitable online coach without hype, guesswork, or endless tech rabbit holes.
That’s exactly what the Online Personal Training Course (OPTC) gives you.


It’s a structured, evidence-based curriculum built from helping 1,000+ trainers and coaches move their businesses online.
You’ll learn how to:
Define your niche and create a clear online offer that sells
Build your systems and client experience using PT Distinction (or your chosen platform)
Set up smooth onboarding, check-ins, and results tracking
Create sustainable marketing that brings in consistent leads
Deliver coaching that scales without losing personal touch
Every lesson is practical, step-by-step, and designed to be implemented as you learn.



Positioning, offers, pricing, messaging, and understanding how to run a profit first online business.

Groups, programs, scheduling, onboarding flows, results tracking, resources, app experience.

Lead magnet, landing page, emails, nurture, DM/email frameworks, sales page essentials.

12-week flagship program and membership blueprint with pre-built automations & content ready to go.

Programs, forms, check-ins, calculators, Canva templates ready to add your own branding.

SOPs, client management, time blocking, retention, referrals, and simple automations.









This course is built from data and experience gathered from over 1,000 real PT businesses across different niches, ages, and tech confidence levels.
I’ve seen exactly what separates the trainers who succeed online from those who burn out.
Every system, template, and lesson here is based on what’s consistently worked in the real world.


The most successful businesses all had clear, simple systems.
Their coaching and programs weren’t copy-paste; they were structured for clients first.
Their marketing was consistent and honest, not hype driven, and they treated their coaching as a real business, not a side hustle.
The course is built from that data, not theory, not “Ash’s way,” but real-world insights across 1,000+ businesses.
It’s also why we give you lifetime access. Success isn’t built in 12 weeks. It takes time, consistency, and refinement.


















When you join PTD Ninja, you get lifetime access, including any updates we make.
Because we’re not interested in quick wins. We’re here to help you build a business that lasts.

Don’t keep guessing or collecting random tips.
Get the complete system that’s helped hundreds of trainers turn their expertise into a real online business.

PT Distinction Mastery training library — updates included
White-label assets (programs, forms, check-ins, Canva templates)

Nope. Most of our clients are not tech people. That’s why we exist. Whether you choose Course, Academy or Ultimate, we’ll walk you through step-by-step (or build it all for you).
All three options teach you how to build a professional online coaching business — the difference is how much support and setup you want.
The Course (£395) → DIY, self-paced training.
Learn everything step-by-step through our Online Personal Training Course (OPTC). You get lifetime access to the content and updates but no direct support.
The Academy (£997) → DIY with lifetime support.
Includes the entire Course plus group coaching calls, feedback, community
The Ultimate (£1,997) → Done For You + Academy + Course.
We build everything for you — PT Distinction setup, automations, funnels, sales pages, payments, and onboarding — and you still get lifetime access to the Academy and Course for ongoing support.
No. One-off payment only. You’ll never get surprise invoices from us. (You’ll just need a PT Distinction account, which is separate and paid directly to them.)
Not at all. We work with brand-new coaches, experienced trainers moving online, and even gym owners who want hybrid models. The systems adapt to you.
Don’t worry each lesson is designed to be simple and actionable, with walkthroughs, checklists, and resources.
If you ever need help, you can contact our support email for guidance, or upgrade to the Academy for lifetime coaching calls and community support.
No — all purchases are business-to-business (B2B) transactions and are non-refundable.
That said, if you ever have a technical issue or access problem, our support team will make sure it’s resolved.
The OPTC has 4 stages, 25 modules, and over 70 lessons — around 40 hours of learning and implementation.
Most trainers complete it in 8-12 weeks while still working with clients, but there’s no deadline — you get lifetime access.
Absolutely.
You can upgrade to the Academy or Ultimate at any time — and you’ll only pay the difference in price, not the full amount again.
All prices are in UK £ GBP. If you’re outside the UK, your bank or payment provider will handle the conversion. Rates vary daily, so the exact amount in your currency may differ slightly. Prices include tax's when applicable.
No, we’re not PT Distinction. We’re an independent company that specialises in helping trainers build businesses using PT Distinction. Think of us as the systems experts who make sure you get the most out of it.
PTD Ninja helps personal trainers build, launch, and grow their online coaching businesses with PT Distinction.
The OPTC is a step-by-step training program that shows you how to build, launch, and grow a successful online fitness business.
It’s based on the same systems, templates, and strategies we’ve used to help over 1,000 trainers go online successfully — from brand new PTs to established coaches, even if you’re not using PT Distinction.
It includes:
- 4 stages, 25 modules, and over 70 lessons
- Approx. 40 hours of lessons and activities
- Resources, templates, and tasks to implement as you go
- The option to submit your workbook and take an exam for certification as a Certified Online Personal Trainer
Think of the OPTC as something you do for your business — not instead of running it.
This isn’t a “pick a random lesson” program. It’s a step-by-step curriculum designed to help you progressively build, launch, and grow your online fitness business as you move through each stage.
The White Label Library is your complete collection of ready-made, fully customisable content for online coaching — all designed to save you months of work.
It includes done-for-you:
- Coaching programs and templates (flagship, challenge, and membership formats)
- Forms and check-ins (client onboarding, feedback, results tracking, etc.)
- Nutrition resources (portion guides, protein cheat sheets, habit templates)
- Canva content (lead magnets, social templates, client resources)
-Automations and sequences (email templates, onboarding flows, check-in reminders)
All files are 100% editable in PT Distinction and Canva, so you can make them fit your brand and coaching style.
We also keep the Library updated with new assets based on what’s working across our client base — so it grows with you.
You can preview a sample of the content and see how it works inside PT Distinction and Canva in the walkthrough video below.
We are always adding to the White Label Library, and as an academy member you can request for new content to be created.

Trainers who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or confused about moving their business online — whether new, experienced, or hybrid coaches.
Clear systems, PT Distinction expertise, transparent pricing, and lifetime support — no fluff, no fake scarcity.
No, all services are single one off payments and include lifetime access. All services are B2B and do not offer any credit options, though you can opt to split the payment into 3 installments. If you decided to arrange credit from a third party to pay for these services you are responsible for the payments and regardless of how the funding is source, this service remains a B2B service and consumer rights do not apply.
It’s 100% self-paced.
You can start anytime and complete it at your own speed.
You’ll also receive any future updates for free, so you’ll always have the latest tools and lessons.
Yes — you’ll have lifetime access to the full course and any future updates, so you can revisit lessons as your business grows.
Yes — you can complete the optional workbook and final exam to become a Certified Online Personal Trainer at no extra cost.
It’s ideal for continuing education and can normally be used for CPD points (depending on your provider).
No, but you’ll get the most value if you do.
Many of the demonstrations are shown inside PT Distinction (because it’s the best platform for online coaching), but the business systems, marketing, and setup processes apply to any software.
This course is perfect for:
- Personal trainers who want to move online but don’t know where to start.
- Coaches who’ve already tried going online but feel stuck or overwhelmed.
- Anyone who wants to build a professional, systemised business that runs smoothly and looks great.
You don’t need advanced tech skills — if you can use email and social media, you can do this.
Compare with our other services
*We will integrate into your existing website or funnel builder. If you don't have a website or funnel, you can sign up for one after purchasing, OR we can help you build a full website for an extra fee, OR we can use PT Distinction's mini site and create branded offer docs using Canva for you to use to sell your services.
**We can only work within the limits of your payment systems, and to make some systems work, other third-party cart or automation services may need to be purchased at your expense, or you may need to use another payment system. Due to the secure nature of most payment systems, there will be some parts of the connection and setup process that will require steps to be completed by you.
***Branding will be added when possible. Branding and website integrations in PT Distinction require a Pro or above subscription. Email branding will be limited to emails sent via the PT Distinction software; website branding will be limited to the website or funnel builder you use.
****Weekly support calls are offered 2 times per week over a total of 46 weeks during the year. These calls are run by Ash directly, but are sometimes covered by other team members. Times and days will vary and are changed at regular intervals to account for the different time zones.
† Optional extras can be selected during the onboarding process or can be purchased in the future. These are only available to Ultimate DFY clients
