IPTA and ABC Fitness Partner to Support Personal Trainers and Coaches from Certification to Career Launch

Collaboration provides personal trainer certification students with exclusive ABC Trainerize software access, education resources, and career-building tools

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The ABC Fitness, through its coaching platform ABC Trainerize, and the International Personal Trainer Academy (IPTA) have announced a new partnership designed to better equip aspiring and current personal trainers with the education, tools, and technology needed to build sustainable careers in the fitness industry.

The collaboration establishes a complete career pathway for personal trainers, from certification and education to launching a career in fitness by combining IPTA’s accredited education programs with ABC Trainerize’s coaching and client engagement technology.

The goal is to help new trainers transition more effectively from coursework to working with real clients and growing a business.

Through this partnership, students enrolled in IPTA certification programs will receive exclusive access to special offers from ABC Trainerize, including extended software trials and discounted access to the platform used by thousands of professional personal trainers worldwide.

IPTA is an NCCA-accredited certification provider offering programs such as the Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Certified Nutrition Specialist, and its recently released Bodybuilding Certification. ABC Fitness, through ABC Trainerize, provides coaching software that enables trainers to manage clients, deliver programs, and grow their businesses online through integrated fitness, nutrition, and habit coaching.

Together, the organizations aim to address common barriers that prevent new trainers from successfully entering the fitness industry.

“Our goal has always been to give personal trainers everything they need not only to get certified, but to actually succeed in the real world,” said Benjamin Rose, President of the International Personal Trainer Academy. By working with ABC Fitness and ABC Trainerize, we can help our students hit the ground running with the same tools used by top coaches in the industry, so they can build their careers faster and with more confidence.”

As part of the partnership, IPTA students enrolled in select certification bundles will receive additional ABC Trainerize benefits, including up to three months of complimentary access through IPTA MVP certification packages. These offerings are designed to accelerate the transition from education to active coaching.

“Coaches are building businesses, not just delivering workouts,” says Kelly Card, SVP Product, ABC Fitness. “We’re excited to partner with IPTA to connect education with the technology coaches need to start working with clients immediately and build sustainable careers over time.”

The partnership reflects a growing trend in the fitness industry toward combining certification, technology, and business education to better prepare trainers for long-term success.
