Personal Training 101: Growing Your Business





Social media plays a huge role in the success of any organization. But like most things in business, half the battle of a growing and prospering is to first get your name out there. It is important to get potential clients interested in your company or line of work. The fitness world has become big business, so as a Personal Trainer you must learn to focus on your business!
As a Personal Trainer, the only way to develop a good clientele is to get your name out there.  Ask your current clients to use social media to Tweet or Facebook post their success stories for others to see.  It is motivating to witness the successes that they have achieved in your program.  Client satisfaction is a sure-fire way to promote your business.
Social media is also a great way to advertise your Personal Training business.  Post sample workouts that might entice future clients.  Post photos of meals that recommend; this could easily be the difference between growing a healthy clientele.
Client referrals are key to growing a Personal Training business. One of the main goals every personal trainer should have is to make sure current clients are happy so when their friends and family ask them questions about how they look they can give them a report that reflects upon you in a positive manner. This in turn will help others make the decision to use your services as well.
In order to be successful, I must figure out a way to let people know what sets my Personal Training program above the rest. I must stay current with all the new trends that are exploding in the fitness world. Again, social media is a great way to let potential clients know about new trends; I often post various articles about a particular trend and let my audience know new and fun ways for them to reach their fitness goals.
Social media can play a huge role in the success of your business or training programs. Over half of Americans are on social media and the way you present you and your business can be the difference between failure and success. Staying on top of nutrition and workout trends is a great way to keep your programs better than the rest.

I am getting certified as a personal trainer in December so i will keep this blog in mind and refer to it so I can get my "name" around. This is very true too because I follow a few trainers and they share their clients and their success/progress.

  2. This is great advice for those that are interested in becoming a personal trainer. Being one is not just working out but also knowing how to use social media and the internet to your advantage. Social media works also as a motivation by posting pics and transformation processes then receiving comments on your hard work.

  8. I've actually witnessed a trainer first hand, bloom in his success just because of social media. One of his clientele had post a progress photo of his personal physique and shout-out his trainer on instagram. From then on, he steadily increased in his number of clientele.

  11. I am somewhat aware of how important advertising is to a business. I was a solar salesman before coming to Tarleton. This person has the right idea about making sure his name gets out there in order to be successful.

  12. This is another great use for social media, to get your name or business out in the open so your cliental grows. Especially with personal trainers who are most likely to be contacted using social media or by phone. The hardest part for a personal trainer though is how to keep their clients interested and to help with referrals.
