For all those who want to become top-notch personal trainers…
"The most comprehensive course for personal trainers in Slovenia, providing you with all the necessary knowledge for an (above-average) successful career in personal training…"
“Our mentees are both those who aspire to create a full-time career and those for whom personal training is simply a passion and an additional source of income…”
Hi!
I don’t know exactly what brought you to this page, but I know you are here for a reason…
- Maybe sport and fitness are your passion, and you've wanted to become your profession for a long time...
- Perhaps you are not satisfied with your current job or looking for new challenges (and you want to become a certified personal trainer and be your boss...)
- Perhaps you are already working as a personal trainer, but you want further to raise your knowledge to an even higher level and become an expert
Whatever your reason, you are in the right place because, in the following few paragraphs, I will present to you in more detail the COURSE, which has been training the most successful personal trainers in Slovenia for the past few years.
These personal trainers stand out because they primarily have significantly more practical knowledge, which is why they find themselves better in the fitness environment from the beginning and help their clients achieve the desired results more quickly.
This course’s students gain comprehensive knowledge that makes them desirable in any fitness…
Those who want to start their own business are ready, as the course teaches them the basics of entrepreneurship, business, and marketing.
But before that, let me introduce myself to you, in case we don't know each other yet...
My name is Aleš Potrč Alex, and even today, I find it hard to believe that I managed to stay in the personal coaching business for more than 21 years.
I am incredibly grateful that, to date, more than 3,157 clients have entrusted me with personal transformation or improving their lives.
Even more incredible is that personal coaching opened the door to the business world for me.
Ten years ago, I realized my original wish and became the owner of a fitness center – first one in Slovenia and later another in Austria.
But my beginnings in no way indicated anything like that...
I started from scratch… Like maybe you now.
I had big dreams about making a living from sports, training stars, and top athletes, like most who decide to become personal trainers.
To survive, I was looking for a regular job covering my bills. On the side, I trained my first clients for FREE.
At that time, I wanted to gain enough experience and become recognizable that people would like to work with me.
I took all the necessary courses and got certified, but I was disappointed that my knowledge was NOT ENOUGH to succeed!
I realized that many of my lecturers at the time were mere theorists who never trained clients.
I was afraid that if I followed their advice, my career would look like theirs… which was unattractive.
This was not the life I wanted for myself and my family.
At that moment, I was living the everyday life of an average employee because I didn’t have enough personal training clients yet.
Nevertheless, I made this decision and started investing in my knowledge.
And no… I am not referring here to master’s and doctoral studies in theory…
Instead, I learned directly from the world’s biggest fitness names, who were super-successful personal trainers and recognized for their expertise (not just “theory peddlers”).
I acquired knowledge worth gold, which, although it cost me a lovely house and a super Mercedes over the years, saved me a decade of mistakes and hassles.
I started working closely with the world's biggest names in the fitness industry...
And it was this brave decision to start investing in my knowledge that, after years of hard work, led me to the ownership of two fitness centers and a position that was the envy of other personal trainers in Slovenia.
More and more personal trainers have asked me for help to progress faster in their work and to learn from me.
After more than 21 years in the fitness industry, I can tell you without hesitation that personal training is the best profession in the world!
- Every day you do what you love the most ((sports activity, healthy diet, and healthy lifestyle...)
- You meet many people and make strong friendships (both with clients and with other personal trainers...)
- You help people improve their life(lose extra pounds, gain muscle mass, raise self-confidence, improve health...)
- You set your schedule (depending on when you want to work with your clients...)
- You set the price of your services yourself I show all my mentees how to raise prices and have more significant margins, which is the key to more freedom and income...)
- You don't have an annoying supervisor or boss breathing down your neck because you are your boss(But you can upgrade your business and hire other personal trainers to work for you...)
- But if you want to avoid becoming your boss, you can work in a fitness center as a personal trainer (In this case, you lose some freedom at the price of higher security...)
As you can see, being a personal trainer allows you to live the life you want.
But now you might be wondering…
"Is it even possible to build a successful career as a personal trainer these days?"
For two years, it looked like the world was falling apart. We had countless waves; you know what, and just when we thought we could catch our breath, a war appeared, which is not far away – and Europe is suffering from energy and other crises…
Many personal trainers around the world are worried about their future. They are considering how to survive when online training practically fell to the bottom… Let alone succeed?
With all the measures with which the EU governments “protected” us, I understand their fear.
But the situation is less TERRIBLE than it seems at first glance.
The opposite is true – now is the BEST time to become a personal trainer.
WHY?
Today, more people ask for a personal approach than ever before...
For over two and a half years, the nation was bombarded with fear of the disease.
During this time, everyone began to realize that a healthy diet and regular physical activity help us stay healthy. Despite all the lockdowns!
Just look at the official statistics from Great Britain (unfortunately, data for the USA is not available in this format), which shows that more people are training today than ever.
Being a personal trainer, or personal fitness coach as I call it, is a logical choice.
Since you are still with me, I assume you also want to become a successful personal trainer and help as many people as possible to get in better shape and health – while living a good life.
Your first step is to ACQUIRE THE URGENTLY NEEDED BASIC KNOWLEDGE and thus a certificate for basic competence.
Given that there are many different certifications on the market... WHY trust us?
That is a completely understandable question.
I will answer you honestly…
Since 2011, together with our partners, we have been training personal trainers worldwide. In all countries where we are present with PT Business Academy (abbreviated as PTBA) and conduct our course, we provide the most practical course for personal trainers.
Up to this moment, together with our partners, we have already helped more than 387,339 people around the world become certified personal trainers or trainers, or we have helped them acquire advanced skills with which they now allow people to live fuller (and more active) lives.
And no…
I’m not telling you this to brag.
I want you to understand how much experience we have in this field and that we have helped many personal trainers achieve their dreams.
The best news?
We have made the process of acquiring knowledge as easy as possible and have focused mainly on the practical aspect and especially the practical part of education, which is not offered by anyone else on the market in this form.
To top it all off…
we are internationally accredited
Accreditation is a process through which an educational program is evaluated against applicable standards and is recognized as accredited if it meets them.
The PTBA course is accredited by the currently most influential institution in the European Union – Europe Active, which also manages the EREPS: European Register of Exercise Professionals and is the only one in Slovenia to boast the EQF4 standard – for a personal trainer (that is, a level higher as EQF3 – fitness instructor).
By enrolling in EREPS, you also ensure the wider international validity of your certificate. In addition to more than 24 EU member states, EREPS membership will be recognized by other registries worldwide (UAE Reps…).
To pursue a career as a personal trainer in the United States, you must meet specific qualifications: being at least 18 years old, holding a high school diploma or equivalent, possessing a CPR/AED certification, and completing a certified personal trainer course.
What exactly is the PTBA Personal Trainer Course?
(and is there really a shortcut to success...)
To be completely honest with you…
This is the most practically oriented course in Europe, and it has been prepared just for rural people like you – those who want to become excellent (and respected) personal trainers.
So…
Suppose you want to become an average personal trainer who provides only average service and is always worried about clients. In that case, closing this website and finding a more effortless and less extensive course is better.
On the other hand…
If you want to – in addition to advanced theoretical knowledge – gain much practical knowledge that you can later easily use in real life, then our course is for you.
What can you expect in the PTBA course?
Indeed, more than you currently imagine!
Through an engaging, interactive, and professional course that includes much practical input, you will acquire the knowledge and skills that every personal trainer needs.
You learn how to take clients through the training process from the first contact to their most important goals – better well-being, higher quality of life, more energy, and even a better body if they want it.
Specifically…
This course contains all the skills you need to start a brilliant career...
- Energy metabolism
- Exercise Physiology
- Strength and aerobic fitness
- Safety guidelines for training
- Basics of sports training
- Exercise testing
- Body composition analysis
- Safety, anatomy and exercise
- Training programming
- Professional documentation
- The basics of nutrition coaching
- Psychology, motivation, ethics and success
- Business basics for coaches
- Law: rights and obligations of the coach
The PTBA course also focuses on effectively, safely, and successfully leading clients through the training process and giving them good nutrition advice.
In fact, during the course, we will also give you that basic knowledge in the business field, with which you can acquire your first client (and later build a sustainable business).
We also share with you some essential views on marketing, promotion, and sales, which will be necessary to “kickstart” your independent journey.
Without this knowledge, it would be damn difficult for you!
Check out what other people think about the course our trainees...
How will it all work out?
Let me explain to you as simply as possible…
The course consists of theoretical and practical work (this is where we are unique).
This time I decided to take care of all parts of Slovenia, and therefore the theoretical part will be held live in person only on the first weekend, and all subsequent lectures will be live but online.
In this way, for all of you who do not need to drive to Maribor or Ljubljana (where we held the PTBA personal trainer spring course), we will make your work easier and save some costs.
Every live lecture is broadcasted through the ZOOM application, facilitating real-time interaction and the ability to ask questions immediately.
The practical part will take place in the well-equipped fitness center, offering an exceptional setting for skill development.

When does the next PTBA course start?
The scheduling of the live course will be contingent upon demand.
*You will receive a detailed schedule of lectures and practical workshops after registration, but you can also find it at the end of this page, where we answer the most common questions (question 9).
Oh, one more thing…
Because we want to conduct the course at the highest possible level, we have limited the number of places to 30.
Judging by how quickly spots have been snatched up before, it’s safe to say these openings will fly. Don’t wait too long – the time to jump in is now!
We've added something extra to the PTBA course...
If you decide to take the PTBA course, we add something fantastic as a bonus…
It is a course for NUTRITION COACHING, which, as mentioned, you get free in case of joining!
This means that after completing the course, you master all the key areas of personal coaching and become a true “pro.”
Oh, and one more thing…
Because I want you to succeed in the fastest possible way, I will give you another 12 months’ membership fee for ACA NUTRITION PROGRAMMING. With this, you will be able to upgrade your knowledge in nutrition throughout the year – I have never offered this before!

The PTBA Course thus consists of two individual courses...
Under other circumstances, considering all criteria for a course of this kind, you would expect it to be priced at least USD 2500. I understand how rapidly you can advance and distinguish yourself from the competition with this knowledge, especially in these times.
HOWEVER!
Given the situation where we need to come together and support one another, I’ve offered it to you at a much lower price than usual.
This price amounts to
USD 997
And yes - although that would be enough, I went one step further for you...
I added the cherry on top of the cream and let you pay in 3 installments – without any interest!
In other words, you have a unique opportunity to become a certified personal trainer and take your success to an entirely different level.
But before I even give you a chance to sign up, there's ONE more THING you need to do...
Since the number of places is limited to 30 and I want every student to “succeed,” I want to ensure that the PTBA course suits you.
Success does not fall from the sky; something must be done for it.
Therefore, your next step is to book a 30-MINUTE CALL WITH ME, during which we will discuss your wishes, goals, and experience, and together, we will determine if the PTBA course is what you need.
Let me explain why you need to book a call with me first…
The least I want is for the course to run out of room for a hard-working and ambitious (future) personal trainer just because his place was taken by someone who had no real ambitions.
And don’t worry; this won’t be a sales call, just a casual conversation.
This is it…
Now I invite you to click the button below and book your call!
The PTBA course has a remarkable track record of delivering outstanding results for numerous personal trainers, transforming their careers in incredible ways...
