How to Start Your Own Boot Camp – Some Tips

Whether you want to streamline your sessions with your clients or earn more, starting your own boot camp is the way to go.

The great thing with having a boot camp is that you can train several people at once. It saves you time, it lets you earn more by working less compared to working with people one on one. How does it work? Let’s say you charge $60 for an hour of a one on one session and you work 6 hours a day. That means you earn $360 everyday.

Now look if you have a boot camp. You charge people $40 an hour to join your boot camp. If you get 5 people for a session, you earn $200 for an hour’s worth of work. Again, if you work for six hours every day, you earn a total of $1,200 every single day!

When you look at the prospects of earning more through boot camps, it’s natural that you’d want to have this in your personal fitness business. So let me show you some tips on how you can do it.

1. Work with a particular group of people. Alright, since you want to earn more, it might be tempting to get in as many people as you want into your boot camp. However, taking that approach may cause more harm than good to your clients because they may have very different fitness goals which your one-size-fits-all approach couldn’t address.

So instead of doing that, target a certain group of people that you want to train in your boot camp. You may target people who want to experience a real military boot camp. Or how about mothers who want to stay in shape? It’s all up to you. Just be sure that you target a specific enough group of people.

1. Create a system for your boot camp. Now you may not be the type of guy who wants to work under a system. But if you want your clients to be successful, you must have a system that will help them progress throughout the sessions until they reach their fitness goals.

For example, if you’re working with non-athletes who simply want to stay in shape take a gradual approach. Help them build their fitness first and eventually increase the intensity of their workouts as they progress.

1. Choose an ideal place to hold your sessions. The great thing with having a boot camp is that you can choose to hold your sessions outside the gym. Besides, the gym may be too small to hold all your members especially for larger groups.

That’s why you must find a place that will be ideal for the type of session that you want to hold. So if you want a military-style boot camp, find an area with rough conditions that will simulate military boot camp situations. And when winter comes, you must also find an ideal indoor location to hold your boot camps.

Just a word of caution. Although it’s fantastic to hold your boot camps outdoors, always ensure your members’ safety. Make sure that it’s safe to hold boot camps in the area of your choice in the first place. And don’t forget to have a first aid kit ready when you hold your sessions.

To sum it up, when you’re looking to start your own boot camp, it would be better if you focus on a particular group of people to work with. You help them achieve their fitness goals better that way. Aside from that, create a system for your boot camp to let you gauge the success of your boot camp and ensure that your members are actually achieving their fitness goals. Finally, look for an ideal place where you hold your boot camps. Just ensure your members’ safety throughout the sessions.
