In this episode of the Sorta Healthy Personal Trainers podcast we're talking about what personal training clients don't want. Unfortunately, there is a long list of the things your clients would prefer not to do. 

That said, in this episode we tackle a few in particular that can definitely have a negative impact on your personal training career. We cover things like personal training contracts, professionalism, programming as a personal trainer, adaptability etc.

In this episode of the Sorta Healthy Podcast we are reacting to James Smith who is a successful personal trainer and entrepreneur. He recently made a video titled:

"If I Were A PT and Starting Over, This Is How I'd Make $100k A Year"

Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc2Av1X2O3c

So, do we agree with what James Smith says about making $100,000 a year as a personal trainer or disagree? No surprise, it's a little bit of both. Also, we review his black belt short form mastery course as well. Creating short form content can be a useful pilar in a personal training brand. Is this $99 course worth it? We give our take on that as well.

Link to that course here for those interested.

In this episode of the Sorta Healthy podcast we break down entrepreneurs and managers. When it comes to running your personal training business, you need to be both. That said we all lean a little more in one direction or the other. So, our goal with this episode is to have a conversation about how each persona thinks and why neither way is better.

In this episode of the Sorta Healthy podcast Alexis and I are talking about starting a personal training business. 

This will be a three part series on starting and running a personal training business. We are also doing the same thing on our YouTube channel. In this first episode we’ll be talking about some of the things that we’ve done well, and maybe a few things that we didn’t.

Mostly what we’ll be talking about in this podcast is how we built our personal training business, Commence fitness personal training, which is now a successful studio by not spending that much money. Starting a personal training business is a pretty risky endeavor and we’ve done a good job at minimizing risk over the years. 

So stay tuned, learn a few tricks from some veteran, personal trainers and stick around for more information on how to start a personal training business in 2026!
