Ian O'Dwyer - Functional Movement and Strength Trainer, NOOSA - Queensland

My philosophy as a Personal Trainer has always been to keep my exercises and programming simple and intuitive. If it looks right – it probably is, if it’s seems to not be working correctly – it probably isn’t. I believe education and the training of Personal Trainers should also be just that – simple, effective and incorporating current research. PTA don’t overcomplicate things, they know what trainers need to know and with Personal Training Academy you will learn the essentials right from day one, and then build on it from there. ...Read more

Richard Boyd - President - PT on the NET, DENVER, USA

In the past 10 years with my own company PTontheNET I have stepped into literally thousands of Health Clubs in the USA, UK, South Africa and Australia, and I have seen all sorts of trainers – good, bad, well educated, even those with experience but no formal qualifications. My passion is educating trainers and Personal Training Academy is going to revolutionise the qualification and of trainers in Australia. Better still they are bringing current training practices from the worlds best presenters in fitness right to your very doorstep via their fully online virtual classroom.

Craig Harper - Founder and Director - Harper's Personal Training, MELBOURNE, VICTORIA

Having been in the industry for 20 years as a trainer, business owner, motivator, corporate presenter, strength coach, student and employer of over 250 trainers in my time, I have a sound understanding of what trainers need to know and how they need to be trained. Personal Training Academy has managed to do what no one else has been able to provide, that is, quality, convenient up to date training for trainers at a price that allows everyone to be able to gain qualifications for their entry into the Fitness Industry. A unique approach from a proactive company!

Annie Coyne - Regional Student - KYABRAM, Regional Victoria

PT Academy has provided me an incredibly convenient, informative and fun pathway into the Fitness Industry. I have been into Health, Fitness and training for years, and have always had a desire to become a qualified trainer. Until PT Academy I had no way of gaining access to quality well supported learning because of my relatively isolated location. Terrific format, excellent speakers and so easy to follow it through to the end. All of this, plus I can now stay with PT Academy for all my ongoing education as well.

Michelle Glacken - AADAKE Worldwide Manager - SYDNEY, NSW

“As the manager of an international company wanting to change careers I needed a course that was informative and well put together. After previously completing my Cert III with another organisation I had become disillusioned with the industry. I sent a brief email of interest to the PT Academy who instantly won my confidence. I have now completed my Certificate 4 in personal training through PT Academy and have learnt far more than I thought possible and in a quarter of the time. ...Read more

Richard Boyd - Founder of PTon theNet, the World's largest educational resource for qualified Personal Trainers

"Never before has any Certification course anywhere in the World had such an amazing collection of truly world-class presenters, with such up-to-date training techniques and knowledge of all aspects of the body.

PT Academy is setting new standards for Personal Training. If you want to be a success, you can't afford to choose any other course."

Kyle Janks - Human Body Workshop, Sydney

"Your online course is informative and easy to grasp. The visual and audio is of the highest quality and makes learning enjoyable.

I have been in the fitness industry for 8 years and would strongly recommend anyone who wants to become a trainer do the PT Academy course. It's well presented, professional and the materials are current and cutting edge."

Tatiana Grigorieva - Olympic Silver Medallist & Commonwealth Games Champion

"I have been as impressed by the quality and relevance of the course materials and tools I have access to with PTA as I have been with its flexibility.

As an elite athlete and a part time uni student, I have always looked for the best quality and most up to date training methods to help me do my best on the track and in the classroom...it's important to me that I continue to learn from the best."

Kristi Lees- Certificate III & IV Student, Melbourne, VIC

I’m SO glad I chose to upgrade my qualifications through the PTA – everything about the academy has really been top class and I’ve gotten so much out of the course. I've regained a lot of the inspiration that I'd lost over the years (mainly due to the nature in which most people/schools/gyms approach the body and its 'parts'). Dale was a great instructor too, was clear and made things easy to follow – as well as making the whole thing fun and informative!
