Can new personal trainers survive the high dropout rates in gyms like Crunch, Equinox, Lifetime, and 24 Hour Fitness? Join us as we explore this pressing question and provide actionable strategies to not only survive but thrive in the fitness industry. We’ll share the key elements of building a resilient mindset, such as gaining hands-on experience, establishing a strong educational foundation, and fostering professional relationships with specialists like physical therapists and registered dietitians. Think of it like a baseball player overcoming a slump—resilience and a positive attitude are your tools for turning passion into a rewarding career.

We also dive deep into the art of managing client expectations and forming lasting connections within the gym environment. From mastering movement assessments to setting clear and effective client goals, we’ll cover practical advice on closing sales, understanding client needs, and handling objections with confidence. Drawing from personal experiences and lessons learned from seasoned trainers, this episode provides a comprehensive roadmap to maximize your potential. Plus, get an exclusive preview of our upcoming book, which aims to build your confidence and skills without the need for expensive business coaches. Tune in to discover how to stay committed, continuously improve, and prioritize your fitness goals.
