REPs RegisteredCredibility

INDUSTRY-LED.Globally recognised.

CoachOne Method is provisionally registered by REPs New Zealand as a provider of quality education for the exercise industry. Graduates can register with REPs as a Group Coach, Gym Instructor, or Personal Trainer depending on which pathway they pick. Because our education is purpose built for success on the gym floor, not a textbook, REPs has created a brand new path so learners can benefit from our elite standards.

We are currently Provisionally REPs Registered as we finalise the rollout of our full personal training programme, with our Exercise Fundamentals certificate already fully live. Graduating from the CoachOne Method puts you on the direct track to full REPs registration and global portability, allowing you to unlock your fitness career in New Zealand and across the globe. reps.org.nz

AboutBuilt by coaches

Most courses tick boxes.This one builds coaches.

Most PT courses are fine on paper. They are written by qualification developers to tick every box, but they can't tell you which skills matter most, how to find clients, or how to get real results for real people. Because they've never worked the job. This is not that course.

Between us we have over 25 years of PT management experience for a globally recognised brand: running departments, hiring graduates and mentoring hundreds of working trainers to industry success. Three sport and exercise science degrees, including a Masters in Exercise Science. We've written and delivered courses for other education providers, and written exercise qualifications at a national curriculum level.

The Coach One Method is everything we know about succeeding at this job, contextualised for the real world and delivered in premium video. Three perspectives. Five pillars. Nine essential skills. One method.

ResultsFrom the coaches

THE COACHES PERSPECTIVEIn their words.

The CoachOne Method plugs the really important gaps that aren’t covered too deeply by other tertiary providers. It focuses on the personal side of personal training, while introducing robust systems and a business model that truly help coaches succeed.
Ben MontaguePT Manager, Les Mills Hutt City & Ex-Tutor
As a business owner I’ve seen plenty of aspiring PTs come in knowing a bit about the body but not the whole picture. A qualification that wraps it all into one, translating someone’s health data into behaviour change, retaining clients and getting them in the first place, means you’re genuinely prepared for what you’ll meet in the real world.
Karin PenningtonOwner of Revl
The lessons are immediately attention grabbing and engaging, whether you learn visually or by listening. Anatomically it teaches movement in a way other PT qualifications lack. By the time you finish a video you understand the movement, why you do it, how to do it, and how to adapt it for the different clients you’ll come across.
Harriet RankinPersonal Trainer
I’ve been a physio for over 20 years, working with the Black Caps and Black Sticks, and it’s vital that trainers understand how the body functionally moves. This course is outstanding in that approach. It keeps the client in the middle and gives coaches the kind of accelerated learning I’d expect from the elite trainers I work alongside.
Vijay VallabhPhysio & High Performance NZ
What I love is that it’s slick and jargon free, with practical elements that are easy to follow. So many qualifications leave you with information but no confidence and no idea how to apply it. CoachOne gives coaches the practical tools to connect, build relationships and deliver a great experience from day one.
MarieTraining & Development Manager, Revl
I’d 100% recommend CoachOne to prepare yourself for life as a personal trainer. I’ve watched these tutors give more quality in one week than others receive in an entire course. Group coaching is so important in our industry, and it’s awesome that REPs now recognise it as a role, one CoachOne qualifies you for.
Steve RickardOwner of Bodyshot Fitness
What really stands out is that every single concept taught is linked directly back to the gym floor. You’re never learning irrelevant information, it’s always connected to real exercises, which makes it so much more engaging to watch and learn.
RubyPersonal Trainer / Student
As a visual person, I loved the high-quality visual examples paired with the technical terms. Being able to actually see the concepts in action helped me understand them so much better than just having them explained text-only.

FAQStraight answers

QUESTIONS,answered.

Is this recognised in NZ?+

Exercise Fundamentals Certification (NZ$999) = the Exercise Fundamentals module, 29 lessons. It registers you with REPs as both a Group Coach and a Gym Instructor. The full PT Certification = all four areas, 80+ lessons: the complete personal trainer pathway.
What does “secure a founding spot” mean?+
Register now and you’re in the first 50, locked at NZ$2,499 instead of NZ$3,499. If you change your mind before then, you’ve lost nothing.
When does it launch?+
Both certifications launch mid-September 2026.
Do I need prior experience?+
No. The curriculum is built to take a serious beginner to a confident, employable coach. We do expect a serious attitude toward the craft. This isn’t a weekend course.
