 | FAO all personal trainers advice needed Hi everyone am after a bit of help. I've just qualified as a reps level 3 personal trainer and am looking to start on my own. I worked at a comerical gym as a p/t but is wasn't what it said on the tin so am looking at going alone. I have a gym where the guy who owns it says I can train people there just have to give him a fiver for their enterence which is good i think so I have a nice fully equiped gym to train clients. I wanted to know how people who train people like this at a non commercial gym go about getting clients. I'm gonna design loads of leaflets and do some serious flyer drops in all the surrounding area's and get a web-site built. Also put posters in the tanning shops and places like that around the area. Is there anything else I can do? How lond did it take before you got going? Any other advice you can give me? thanks in advance I really want to make this work so all your help and advice is most appreciated.

   | Re: FAO all personal trainers advice needed SPeak to Lorian about a website, he does that for a living. Make sure you have suitable insurance flyer drops in houses will probably not get you much return better off helping out at the gym doing free inductions and then getting the clients that way.

  | Re: FAO all personal trainers advice needed In the first instance any and every bit of marketing possible, then word of mouth takes over once established Paer ads worked well for me, but i was lucky i think..............once you have advertised once or twice approach paper and write articles for them, this gives you credibility in you area web site also got me good clients too leaflets gets you out there and and the name known/remembered do a talk for local womens groups....if you specialise in pre/post natal, then pregnancy groups hand out business cards to everyone you meet I still have people now (in UK) asking for training ............ i left UK 5 years ago people hang on to cards for a long time get on every PT register there is too hope that helps |
