Personal Training Business Software: Insider Blueprint

At first glance, the Personal Training Business Software may look like just a bunch of fancy spreadsheets… But looks are deceiving; it is the single most powerful piece of business software for personal trainers. If you own a personal fitness business, or are thinking about starting a personal training business, you will not want to miss out. Quite simply, for marketing fitness, there is nothing like it. To be perfectly honest, this Personal Training Business Software will give any personal trainer, whether it is someone just getting started or already established, the tools, foundation, and structure to build an awesome career as a fitness professional in the personal training industry.

 

Using this system, I was able to start making 6 figures by the age of 23, bought a home at the age of 23, and started training celebrity clients at the age of 26! (including one of my favorite personal training

clients, Jillian Michaels, from NBC’s hit TV show “The Biggest Loser”.) And I have used this system and software to coach other personal trainers to do the same in their own personal fitness business.

Spend a lot less time organizing your business.
Measure your success, create

goals, & be held accountable by the community.

Manage all of your clients information in one place.
Focus your marketing efforts on the most effective methods.
It will make it much easier to get more clients (and better clients).
It will make it easier to raise your rate.
Get reminded of your fitness clients birthdays automatically, and other key dates.
Stop worrying about financial security!

 

I am talking about building a fitness career that is extremely satisfying, so you don’t have to choose between helping people and financial stability, and can live the healthy, happy, and active lifestyle you dream about.

 

Well, the Software is actually

all built into one.

 

The fitness industry is literally exploding these days, but so is the competition out there. It’s not necessarily easy to start a personal training business, but our business system & software is full of personal trainer resources that will help you jump start your success

and make failure highly unlikely. We will show you how to get and help personal training clients, and then turn those fitness clients into referral machines for your business (while increasing retention of your existing clients at the same time). And for a limited time only, the beta version of the software is 100% free, no strings attached, while there is space on our serves for new users. So don’t hesitate to sign up! The first 4 tools out of the 7 are free with the beta version.

 

 

Well, what makes fitness clients want to stay with you is the same as what makes them want to refer you to more personal training clients: consistently exceeding their expectations and empowering them to life transforming results! This is the most valuable service a trainer can provide their personal training clients.

 

The hardest part of getting fit is maintaining the lifestyle, and a great personal trainer gives their fitness clients the tools, knowledge, support, motivation, and feedback necessary to change their lives for the better.

 

Showing personal trainers how to empower their fitness clients (by providing them with the cutting edge tools, knowledge and techniques it takes to do that) is the very foundation of our entire business system and software! This is how I run my own personal fitness training business, the reason for all my success at a young age, and you can take major advantage from my experiences.

 

 

Clients got with the Personal Training Business Software, and my Personal Training Business System, in only 11 weeks during the SLOWEST time of the year for personal trainers, showed success.

 

Amazingly, Emilio started his personal fitness business in 2008, so even newer personal trainers can use this business system and software to build an amazing personal training business too!

 

If you have been a trainer for awhile, you realize, like we all do, that at a certain point, you have to start working smarter; not harder. You can’t make a real living doing 10 sessions a day, 6 days a week! BURN OUT! We have all tried this; some of us could keep it going for a little while, but it is so draining; tired, injury prone, unhappy long days….

What’s the point of owning a personal fitness business if we can’t be living and breathing examples of what we preach!

 

Listen, there is nothing wrong with boot camps, in fact, they have some real advantages, but they have some equally real disadvantages that no one likes to talk about! While the Personal Training Business Software works great no matter what your model is (boot camp, crossfit, 1 on 1, etc), it’s really about getting such awesome results with your clients, that they refer you more fitness clients without you even having to ask. That’s how we got into the job anyway, because we love fitness and the way it changed our lives! You know it, often our energy, our happiness, our motivation, and our bodies are what inspire our fitness clients to get in shape! You can’t do this when you are burned out!

So the software will help you work smarter, not harder, which is the only way to build a fitness career in the fitness industry. And by smarter, I DO NOT mean “push all of your clients into a boot camp or group class so you can have more free time”.

 

Word of mouth! It’s the most powerful form of advertising in the world. The Fact that is, someone else talking about you is a lot more powerful and convincing than just talking about yourself. Make word of mouth part of the foundation of your personal fitness business and you are taking a HUGE step toward lasting success and an awesome fitness career in the health and fitness industry.

 

To do this, you much consistently exceed those clients’ expectations, by providing amazing services and raising the bar for your services and their performance constantly, not just lumping them all together into a boot camp because that works best for you.

 

By working smarter, I mean joining a community of dedicated personal trainers, who work together to push the limits, raise their standards, share ideas, and leverage technology and automatic systems to help more people. For instance; when you get access to the software, you also automatically become a member of our community and get access to our forums, where you will find all kinds of great information, solutions, and opportunities to share with, learn from, and teach other trainers. Our personal trainer forum is for members only, but right now membership is free AND you get the Personal Training Business Software too! It is a huge, ever growing place to find all kinds of personal trainer resources. So how do you use the software to work smarter, not harder, and provide a better service for your clients? Read on and find out!

 

Once you have signed up, the very first thing you should do is watch the “Watch this First” Video. This quick video gives you a lay of the land, shows you how to get started, and identifies the 7 tools built into the software. Each tool of the software has a video at the bottom that shows you exactly how to use that tool.

 

Near the top there is a link called ‘Forums’.

When you click on it, the forums will pop up and provide space to input information. Any and all questions, ideas, and comments you have will be addressed in the forums! Here you can stay on top of the latest, most cutting edge fitness marketing ideas & techniques. We love providing you solutions, and your forum posts add to the community and help other trainers. Just be sure to post your forum topic in the appropriate category. All posts about the Personal Training Business Software should go in that category.

 

The Accountability Lab in the forum is super powerful! This is where you can share your business goals with the rest of the community. This forces the trainer to get clear about what exactly their personal fitness business goals are, forces them to commit to these goals, and allows other trainers the ability to help motivate them and provide assistance too!

 

Back in the software, you will notice an FAQ link at the top, click up there to review the most commonly asked questions and get answers. Something the software allows you to do is to grade your existing clients, something most trainers have a lot of questions about. These 5 parameters allow you to optimize your relationships with your personal training clients, so you can work with awesome people only, and so that each and every one of your fitness clients gets awesome results. The FAQ will explain how to grade your clients in more detail. For any business, managing relationships is critical, and the Personal Training Business Software will help you do that very easily.

 

This tool gives you a space to keep track of all your potential fitness clients. Put in anyone who has shown interest in your business, their contact info, who referred them (be sure to reward them), and any notes you have about that person that will help you follow up with them. By keeping track of your potential clients here, you can stay organized, and you will not forget to follow up, which will help you get more clients. Then, our Personal Training Business System goes over the 7, and only 7, ways to get more referrals into your fitness business. The software and system can be used separately, but together they are unstoppable!

 

Here is where you organize all of your client’s information, the people

5 Reasons Your Personal Chef Training Should Include Meal Plans

Ever say to yourself that perhaps you should be a personal chef? That exact same idea has occurred to a lot of people. Some went ahead and did it. Some never did their homework to get more info and so couldn’t know enough to generate a serious start.

Let’s see now, are those reasons really valid? Did they really consider the positive side? Did we look at the “pro” side or simply the “con” side? Maybe we should have a look at that. Let’s examine 5 positive reasons in favor of attempting thinking about meal plans when training to be a personal chef and see which ones ring true.

First, personal chef training has to include meal plans. I understand fully your hesitancy when considering getting started creating meal plans. Yes, this is a valid observation, but look at it this way, you are just mapping out what you do every day if you love cooking. And moreover, one should consider how easy it makes your personal chef training if you already have your meal plans created.

Second, you can easily figure out what each meal will cost so you can let your clients know. The leading benefit to doing this would be giving your clients more control over the cost of their meals.. And in addition you have a better understanding of how long each meal will take you to cook.

Third, having standard meal plans also allow you to easily advertise your costs. Plus it gives you the ability to add customizations to the standard plans for more money!

Fourth, this frees up your time on the cook date

And Fifth, this free time allows you to focus on cooking the meal. Not how much you will charge your client or how long will cooking this meal take you.

As you go through the reasons and evaluate them, I expect that you will have to admit that a persuasive case can be made for thinking of how you can create your meal plans while you are going through your personal chef training.

O.K. After looking at all that info, what do you think now? Isn’t that a strong case in favor? Maybe you really should get started creating your meal plans!

If you happen to examine the different reasons and evaluate them, you’ll have to admit that a very compelling case can be made for beginning  your planning right away!

How to Master Personal Training Sales

Feb 5th, 2010

If you were to analyze the competition in the sales world, you would clearly find that the customer is the main driver. All aspects and activities of the business cater to the customer’s satisfaction. When it comes to personal training sales, there seems to be a challenge with the conversion of potential clients to actual clients.

Personal training sales have been going through changes recently.

A trainer’s ability to close a client sale is no longer the only tool used to generate higher overall sales. In the past, customers simply looked at the product features and usefulness in making their decision about which product was ideal for them. Today, customers expect an explanation of the products quality.

They expect to be offered some sort of after-sales support/service, and they want your ideas (the seller) to be in line with their ideas (the buyer). All of these aspects are vital to a successful promotion and sale of any product, especially in personal training sales.

If a personal trainer takes all of these factors of a sale into account, he/she will have the best possibility of success and higher personal training sales. Every personal trainer knows the competition is fierce. There are limitless ways to promote your products and services, and technology today is making it even easier to increase the number of customers you are able to reach, and close more personal training sales.
Normally in sales, the sales person is not interested in why the customer came looking for a product.

In personal training sales however, the trainer should want to know the motivation behind a customer coming to them for change. This is the difference that will take the personal training sales to the next level. Not only will you make the personal training sale, but you will be able to offer a better product to the customer, and accommodate what they expect from you.

The demand from a customer for a personal trainer is the only thing that will lead to the conclusion of a sale. A personal training sale begins with initiating the buyer. The customer must feel the necessity for change to want to purchase the product/service. They must either feel the need to change their quality of life and take it to the next level, or they must be generally unhappy with the state of things now that they are driven to buy a new product. The personal trainer’s task is to find which reason motivated the customer to want a change, and result in a personal training sale.

Every personal training sale should start with the trainer really getting to know the customer. This does not mean learning about their family and job (though that is a good way to build a bond); it means finding out why they are there in the first place. Why do they want to lose those extra pounds, what their expectations are, and how dedicated they will be. This way you can provide the best personal training sale for that particular customer.

The more you know about the problem, the more likely you are to find a solution, right? The customer drives the demand for your product/ service. Knowing the customer is the best way to drive personal training sales. Period.

By realizing that the customer today is a lot more complex than in the past, each personal trainer will be able to increase their personal training sales. Customers expect a lot more out of a product/service.

There are so many different options for the customer that each trainer has to set his /her product apart from the rest to even have the chance at a personal training sale. That’s why it is so vital that the trainer get to know the customer to uncover exactly what they want.

The more the trainer knows, the better service they provide to their customers, which in turn, makes the customer satisfied. This will give the trainer the ability to retain their customers, and possibly generate more personal training sales through that customer by word-of-mouth recommendations.

Understand what is behind successful personal training sales, and your business will succeed.
