Being a personal trainer, it is always important to have a constant funnel of training clients ready to patronize your fitness trainer business. Without that steady flow of prospects your fitness business could very well struggle. Therefore, it is extremely important to know exactly how to create a steady flow of personal trainer prospects which you can turn into paying clients.

The biggest complaint of personal fitness trainers is they don’t seem to ever have enough clients. This should not be difficult if a well sought out game plan is in order, and is proven to attract more fitness training clients. It just seems the personal trainer who always complains about not having enough clients is the one who does not plan, or follow a proven client attraction blueprint.

Wouldn’t it be nice to own a fitness trainer business that has a continuous flow of fitness training prospects?

Below I have revealed 5 simple ways of attracting training clients to begin lining up and practically begging for your services. It would be extremely wise to incorporate some, or all of these tips in your personal trainer business marketing plan.

1. Incorporate the 3 foot, tell them all, rule.

Everyone within three feet of you has the right to know about your business. Do not keep it a secret. You are a fitness professional and run a personal trainer business. Since health and fitness should be a top priority for the people around you, they most likely need your expertise, and specialized personal training services.

Make sure you brand yourself, and your business well. Have personal trainer business cards printed up so you can distribute them to the people your encounter. I always fell putting your picture on the front of the card, and a motivational slogan on the back is a good idea.

Do not be shy! Tell people, passionately, about what you actually do, and how you can empower them.

2. Build your referral network with other health care professionals.

If you have a whole network of healthcare professionals who know you, like you, trust you, and are willing to refer clients to you, then you are leveraging your fitness trainer business. It is like having a number of advocates talking up your training services, and offering a third party endorsement. Begin, immediately, leveraging yourself with other health care professionals.

3. Seek joint ventures with fitness equipment retail stores.

When fitness enthusiasts purchase a piece of exercise equipment they generally need instruction from a qualified personal fitness trainer. Why shouldn’t that be you?

When establishing a business joint venture it is crucial to present yourself in a very professional manner. It is important to bring along professional sales literature introducing yourself, and your fitness trainer business.

4. Get in PR mode.

Educate yourself regarding PR, or hire a PR firm to aggressively market your firm. Become the celebrity expert, or go to personal trainer in your market.

Whenever you can get press coverage, take advantage of it. Another good tips is to give back to your community, and always be searching for opportunities to get your name out to your market.

Personal training public relations is the best form of advertising because it is news, and comes with a third party endorsement.

5. Incorporate seminars.

You can do monthly, or weekly orientation seminars informing potential fitness training clients about how to get fit, and a greater insight into the specific of your personal trainer business.

Share with seminar attendees how your services of fitness training can benefit them.

Attracting new clients does not have to be as difficult as it appears. It just takes a bit of action. Just do it! Do not let anything hold you back.

Focusing on acquiring more personal training clients is the key to building a highly profitable fitness trainer business. Utilize as many fitness marketing tips you possibly can to propel your training business to the next income level. With a little personal training marketing education, your business will surely grow profitable.

Shape Shifter asked:


Whatever your reasons are, your doctor suggested you lose some weight, or your having a hard time fitting into your clothes, or any number of a hundred other different reasons. You have decided to get healthy, and get in shape, and are looking to hire a professional to help you get the job done. So that means hiring a certified personal fitness trainer. Some of them are CFT’s certified fitness trainers, and some have the CPT designation, certified personal trainers, but they are essentially the same thing, fitness pros.

 

So what do you do and where do you begin. Well most people without a good referal, and I will talk about referals in a moment, well they will go on the internet, and do a search and try to narrow the feild down that way. If you happen to live in Maryland, Washington DC, or northern Virginia, try it out as I would be glad to assist you. My company is http://www.shapeshifterfitness.com , but anyway go to a popular search engine, like say google, and type in Maryland personal trainers, you will see a page of about 10 different companies, yes my company is there also, now try it for where you are.

 

The first thing you need to understand about the personal training industry, and I hope this changes one day soon. Is that really anyone can claim to be a trainer. There is no licensing, or regulatory agency governing the industry, and furthermore, there are no strict guidelines, and are currently over 100 if not more certifications out there.  So how do you know if the trainer has what it takes.

 

The first thing you want to take into consideration when looking for the right personal trainer, is where they are certified from, ACE, ISSA, NASM, those are three good ones, if they have a degree from a college, or university in a fitness related field, and more importantly try to narrow down, exactly what you are looking to accomplish by specialty. If you want to have weight loss, after a pregnancy, look for someone that has a post natal specialty. Not a body building specialty.

 

So after you do that, the next step is to figure out where you want to work out. You can exercise at the gym, at home, or the office, but most trainers charge more, for private in-home training, so it makes a difference. The good news is if you are training at home, most trainers will bring all the equipment they need to give you a great work out, I know I do.

 

Anyway, after you have narrowed down the field based on where the trainer is certified from, education, how long they have been a trainer, and where you want to work out, the next step is to contact the trainer, and arrange for a session. Now most trainers will give you a complimentary workout, so be leary if they won’t, but also remember time is valuable, I know sometimes a have made a potential client pay for an initial workout, but then I deducted it from there training package. It does very.

 

The biggest thing with the workout, is for it to be challenging, but not over the top. You want someone that you are comfortable with, and is going to care enough about you, to make sure the job gets done right. On their website, before you meet with the trainer, look for some social proof, or testimonials from other people, and then casually mention it to the trainer. Like say “do you think I can get the same result’s as so and so.

 

Finally after you do all this, maybe compare a couple other top trainers in the area. Remember that this is a person you are going to be seeing two-three times a week for two to six months, so don’t rush into a fast decision, and don’t let any trainer pressure you into buying a huge package, just relax and use your instincts.

itguru5354 asked:


Started to learn swimming last month. Have been swimming at least 3 times a week for practice. However, I can’t swim full lap cuz I get tired very easily. Why is that? I guess I still need to work on my swimming technique. I had a cramp the other day, and I’m still in a bit pain. I can’t wait to go back to the pool (I pay $68 monthly at YMCA) I’m also a bit of afraid going to deep water. The pool isn’t deep; it’s just from 4 to 6.5 ft. I just don’t know whenever I pass the 5ft line, I get nervous and my swimming style starts to fall apart. I had a private trainer for 5 days, and I was able to swim to 9ft deep (different pool).
I don’t know how to float on my back yet. Trainer taught me freestyle and a lot of basic techniques since the beginning.

DisneyBride asked:


Right now I am walking about a mile to two miles a day. I do an aerobic/cardio dvd for at least 15 minutes a day. Should I go for 30 minutes? I also try to lift weights for about 15 minutes a day but that doesn’t always happen. I am also playing Wii Fit when it is convenient. What do you think? I really don’t want to join a gym. I hate to run because of asthma.
