Unlock the secret to becoming a successful personal trainer and navigate the path to career advancement with us. This episode of the Show Up Fitness Podcast is packed with practical insights and strategies from the just-launched Volume 2 of our comprehensive guidebook. Discover how to acquire clients outside the confines of a gym and establish sustainable revenue streams using the innovative 60-30-10 financial split. We also shed light on the challenges facing new trainers, the importance of mastering people skills, and how to effectively prepare for interviews at top-tier gyms, challenging the standards set by current personal training certifications.

We tackle the industry's systemic issues, questioning why many trainers are thrust into demanding gyms without sufficient preparation, resulting in high turnover rates and impostor syndrome. Learn how networking, sales expertise, and robust people skills can lead you to success amidst these hurdles. If you're contemplating transitioning from a large gym to opening your own facility, our discussion on financial management, client retention, and the benefits of commanding premium rates will provide the guidance you need. The conversation highlights the pressing need for a paradigm shift in the training and support systems available to trainers.

This episode is packed with creative strategies for clientele building, especially during challenging times like the recent pandemic. From using apps to bid for clients to networking with related professionals for mutually beneficial relationships, we cover it all. We share personal stories and insights on leveraging local resources like coffee shops and apartment gyms to establish a community presence. Finally, listen to our chat with Tricia Lynn about the journey of starting your own gym and remember, the cornerstone of success is persistence—just keep showing up.
