A Complete Learning Path
or a Single Step That Changes Everything

Every course in the Boutagy Fitness Institute is built on 30 years of coaching experience.

Research tested in real gyms, with real people. Whether you're starting with one course or committing to the full system, you'll gain the clarity, confidence, and practical knowledge to design programs that actually work — for yourself or your clients.

Here's how the education pathway unfolds

FIND THE RIGHT STARTING POINT FOR YOU

Whether you're new to structured training or looking to develop more advanced skills,
this pathway helps you begin at an appropriate level and build your knowledge

in a systematic way.

  • If you're new to coaching or want a stronger foundation

Begin with Anatomy of Strength Training and Training to Train (GPP). These courses develop the movement mechanics and preparation principles that underpin all effective programming.

  • If your main goal is understanding fat loss

Choose Fat Loss Fundamentals. It applies foundational training principles to fat loss in a clear, evidence-based way that works in real-world training.

  • If you're an experienced coach or lifter wanting to refine your programming:

Move to Advanced Program Mastery. This course covers periodisation, progression, and adaptation management — the methods needed to design programs with greater precision.

  • If you work with women or want research-based menopause training education:

Select The Science of Thriving Through Menopause. It provides evidence-based guidance for training through hormonal changes, suitable for both coaches and women training for themselves.

  • If you want the complete system:

Follow the full pathway:

  • Anatomy of Strength Training

  • Training to Train (GPP)

  • Fat Loss Fundamentals

  • Advanced Program Mastery

  • The Science of Thriving Through Menopause

This sequence builds knowledge in the correct order, strengthening your ability to design effective training systems over time.

THE BFI EDUCATION PATHWAY

Each course can stand on its own, but together they form a complete education in evidence-based training — from the fundamentals of movement to advanced program design.

Foundation

Anatomy of Strength Training

Most coaches and lifters skip the fundamentals and guess at what they're really training. This course builds clear understanding of muscle function and joint mechanics so every exercise, cue, and program has purpose.

Preparation

Training to Train: The General Preparation Phase

Before you chase performance, you need a base that lasts. Learn how to build strength, stability, and work capacity that make every future training block more effective and resilient.

Application

Fat Loss Fundamentals

Fat-loss advice changes every few months. This course cuts through the noise with research-backed training and nutrition strategies that deliver sustainable results in real life.

Mastery

Advanced Program Mastery

Once you understand the basics, this is where you refine them. Master periodisation, progressions, and program design so you can create confident, effective programs for any goal or client.

Specialisation

The Science of Thriving Through Menopause

Training women through hormonal change requires understanding physiology, not guesswork. Learn how to adapt programs for peri- and post-menopause using evidence-based methods that improve results and confidence.

Each course builds on the next, giving you a framework that grows with your knowledge and experience.

WHY THIS SYSTEM WORKS

PhD | 33 Sports | 70,000+ Programs | 50,000+ Educated

For more than 30 years, I've combined science and real-world coaching to refine a system that actually works. I've designed over 72,000 programs, worked with athletes across 33 sports including Olympians, Commonwealth Games, Masters Athletes and Paralympic competitors, and coached clients for decades, some for more than 25 years.

Every principle taught in these courses has been tested in both research and practice, and proven time and again in real gyms with real people.

  • Research Grounded — Reality Tested

I still read 20 to 30 research papers a week, translating the best science into methods that work in real gyms, not just labs. My PhD focused on preparing athletes for peak muscular speed, strength, and power — knowledge now distilled into every course.

  • Experience Across Generations

 I've trained clients from their teens to their 90s and educated more than 50,000 trainers through universities, conferences, and BFI courses. The lessons are built for the long game — systems that last decades, not 10-week challenges.

  • Bridging the Gap Between Science and Coaching Instinct

Coaches often have great intuition but miss the biological "why." My teaching builds both — helping you read research, filter out hype, and design programs with precision and purpose.

  • Education Built for Real People

This isn't about trends; it's about understanding the full process — from assessment to foundation work to goal-specific programs — so you can keep clients progressing for life.

Here's how you can build your complete education journey and save when you enrol in the full pathway.

Student Feedback

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

The results speak for themselves. Over the past three decades, Tony Boutagy's courses have helped thousands of coaches, trainers, and fitness enthusiasts gain the knowledge and confidence to create programs that truly work — in real gyms, with real people.

I can't give Tony's courses a high enough rating. They're pure gold — every module is packed with practical, science-backed insight.

The course material is presented articulately, precisely and methodically, and really bridges the gap between what information is available to new trainers and what they really need to know. I recommend jumping in on this course.

Tracy Welsh
Trainer

We are always looking to advance our learning and so we were really excited to do courses with Tony who is so knowledgeable. After working with him in person and online, I can confidently say that I am always learning and educating myself through his knowledge and experience.

Fantastic, I only just completed Fat Loss Fundamentals and I thought that was great but TTT was even better. So practical! Anatomy is not my strong suit but I learnt so much! I love anything rehab and this course teaches so much in that aspect. Everybody has niggles and weaknesses but there isn't much out there teaching how to fix these without studying a degree. What this course teaches is so good every personal trainer needs to do it. Also in my opinion many physiotherapists could learn something.

Katjana Dolby

The course was one of the best that I have undertaken. A wealth of knowledge in just 8 short weeks and I feel as if I learned so much. Tony's delivery made learning so easy to understand and kept me engaged the whole time.

Mila Murada

The course is outstanding. Tonys knowledge and the way he breaks down the information over the 8 weeks is just amazing. I cannot recommend his courses enough.

Evania Dunstone
Personal Trainer

The material was excellent. It was thorough, logically sequenced and with a good balance of theoretical and practical content. The lectures were engaging and the videos of movement assessments and case studies along with detailed explanation served well in disseminating the information. I really appreciate having access to the exercise library and look forward to the case study vault being loaded soon.

A. Fowler

I've been in the fitness industry for over 25 years, definitely a dinosaur. If you wanna learn how to write truly great programs and understand the process properly from beginners right through to advanced trainees, and you care about getting your clients the very best results, I highly recommend you jump on Tony's Advanced Program Mastery course. It is a fantastic course. Even after 25 years, I've learned a great deal. Connecting with Tony and, um, being part of his education modules is just a no brainer. He's a great educator and you'll get a great deal out of it. Don't think about it, just do it.

Alex Flint
Personal Trainer

Tony has made the structures of program design so accessible that I not only feel very comfortable in designing a good training program, I've also decreased the time I actually need to do so by half. This course really brings everything together and covers anything from overload techniques, cardio programming, nutrition strength programs. Training splits, volume training, and anything you can imagine, and I'm extremely grateful I could participate in this course.
