Your Course Is Led By A Coach Who Has Done It — Not Just Taught It
I'm Alex Potrc, founder of the PT Business Academy and a certified personal trainer with over a decade of experience training clients and building fitness businesses across Europe and the UAE.
I built PTBA because I was frustrated with certifications that looked great on paper but left trainers completely unprepared for the real world. No client acquisition skills. No business knowledge. No practical confidence.
The August Intensive is the course I wish I had when I started. Every module, every workshop, every bonus lecture is designed around one question: "What does a trainer actually need to succeed in the UAE?"
You will not just leave with a certificate. You will leave ready to work, ready to earn, and ready to build a career you are proud of.
Why This August Intensive Is Different From Anything Else In The UAE
Every session is designed for real-world results. You leave with skills, certifications, and a business head-start — not just a certificate on the wall.
6 Full Days of In-Person Practical Workshops
Over 40 hours of hands-on, in-gym sessions at Troon FIT, Dubai Sports City. You don't just learn how to exercise — you learn how to train clients and get real results. UAE REPs compliant with 100% attendance required.
Brand New Course — Completely Rebuilt for 2026
We've rebuilt the entire curriculum from the ground up. New materials, new practical modules, new add-ons, and updated content reflecting the latest in fitness science and coaching methodology.
Bonus Live Lectures — Mon to Thu, 7–9 PM Dubai Time
Each weekday evening (except Fridays), join 2-hour live bonus lectures with expert coaches. Real-life scenarios, practical insights, and live Q&A to deepen your understanding before each workshop day.
Business & Marketing Included — Build Your Career From Day One
Most courses teach you how to train. We teach you how to build a business. You'll learn how to attract clients, set your pricing, and run a profitable PT career from the moment you graduate.
Nutrition Coaching Certification — Included Free (Worth 3,997 AED)
Automatically enrolled in our full Nutrition Coaching Certification at no extra cost. Become a dual-certified fitness professional and stand out from every other trainer in your market.
