Starting a Personal Training Business

Copy of Copy of IMG_0054.JPGIf you’re starting a personal training business, there’s some advice I’d like to give you right now before you spent countless hours of your life in the gym training clients and studying for useless certifications.

It doesn’t matter how good of a trainer you are, how many functional exercises you can take people through, how many certifications you have, how good you look or how cool you are… it really doesn’t.

It all comes down to how good of a marketer are you.

If you’re just starting out, there are some things I suggest you do right away. ..

Starting a Personal Training Business 101

The first one is to come back to this website on a regular basis and learn the things that have worked for me and many other highly successful trainers from all around the world.

The next thing I suggest you do is leave your name and email in this box below so I can send you to a video and put you on my blog update list… full of all kinds of tips and strategies for a starting a personal training business

Just leave your name and email right here:

Also, you’re definitely gonna want to get this product to help start your business.. it’s called the Fitness Profits Blueprint

and it’ll take you step-by-step through what you need to do… especially when you’re just starting out.

This program is for anyone who wants a six-figure personal training business… it covers the basics of EXACTLY what works, and will tell you about what doesn’t ( most personal trainers do things all wrong… and that’s why most never hit six-figures… if you do it right you can make a KILLING)

Even if you have little or NO clients of your own right now.

Even if you aren’t even certified or have never trained anyone in your entire  life… this program will give you the tools you need to easily build a six-figure personal training business in hardly no time at all.

Another piece of advice is to go out and get your hand on as many Dan Kennedy books, courses, and teachings as possible.  Dan Kennedy is the best when it comes to teaching direct response marketing, and direct response marketing is the kind of marketing you’re going to want to be doing.  You’re not going to want to worry about brand marketing, you’re not going to want to worry about interruption marketing; you’re going to want to become a direct response marketer… it’s all about direct response when your starting your business.

Also, go out and take a bunch of people on for free and train them and don’t charge them a thing.  Train them in groups, anywhere from four to six people at a time, train them for free, and ask them to pay you with referrals.  I guarantee you, if you train 25 people twice a week for free, within the next three months you will have a full-time personal training pay from the referrals that those people will be bringing you.

Most trainers aren’t willing to do this… not even when they’re just starting out and are hungry.  As a matter of fact, probably less than 1% of the trainers out there are.  But, if you are and you’re a big-picture thinker, before you know it you’re going to have a slamming personal training business because of all the referrals those people are going to get you.  It works on multiple levels.  There’s other articles on this site that get into depth on exactly how to do that.  But, just remember, if you go out and help a bunch of people get what they want in life, you’re going to get what you want in life.

One other thing you should also know before you start your personal training business is that you’re going to want to put people on automatic payments coming out of their bank account every month.  Don’t sell packages, don’t sell sessions, don’t do cash or checks.  Do automatic debit on contracts, ideally of at least three or four months, if not six months or a year.  Your bank account will thank you for it.

Ahhh, the business of personal training.

And remember, don’t forget to come back to this site on a regular basis and study the content and apply what you learn.

Starting a personal training business is one of the smartest things I’ve ever done in my life… I hope you have a similar experience.

    Chris and fellow Trainers I have a question for you about this and looking for your feedback

    I recently obtained my PT certification however its not as well known as ACE/NASM and other national certifications.

    Here’s my dilemma, after receiving my certification we moved back to our home state. However after having been here 1 month I still haven’t obtained a personal trainer position. I have spoken to gyms in the area and had interviews but still haven’t landed a position.

    I am starting to wonder if I should attempt to do in home training, however I wonder if I have the experience to do this kind training being so new to the industry. Our funds are limited and I want to start training but having a hard time finding someone to give me that initial starting ground. In this situation what would you do, and more importantly how would you go about doing it.

    Any suggestions and or assistance would be hugely appreciated

    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi Mark, I'd just start your own biz instead of working for someone else and I'd use this tactic as my first way to get clients:

    Just starting my first bootcamp tonite! I have been reading your posts for the past couple of weeks. I love all the information. I have one thing that I would love to do but not sure how to go about it. How do you set up the auto-debit?

    Thank you for all you do.
