Make money from Personal Training
Personal training is a highly competitive, but potentially a lucrative career if approached in the right way.
Technical skills and knowledge in training, nutrition and behaviour change are of course vital for getting clients results, but getting those clients in the first place and generating more income are often the biggest challenges facing PTs.
A solid understanding of marketing and sales principles is essential for building a successful business. In this webinar, we will explore what people really want from personal trainers. Paul will look at strategies to get more clients to sign up for personal training and consider ways to maximise revenue for PTs.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the difference between the profession of personal training and the product or service that clients actually buy into
- Identify how to increase the perceived value of personal training
- Identify key business principles for increasing income
