You’ll hope that your personal trainer business goes from strength to strength. But if there’s one thing to know, it’s that there are always things you can do that’ll increase your client list and, ultimately, your revenue.

One of the biggest mistakes personal trainers make is thinking of themself as a personal trainer. Seriously. When you think of yourself as a personal trainer, you're thinking of yourself as the employee of your business, because personal training is the service.

In 2020, the US personal training market was valued at almost $13 billion, and the UK fitness training industry at just under £700 million. The events of 2020 - including the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures - have significantly impacted the industry and the over 340,000 PTs working in the US and internationally.

As a personal trainer, ideally, you will want a way to keep records of your clients and your appointments. It is one of the first rules of business: stay organised. There is a lot to think about: appointment booking, goal tracking, client referrals, fitness goals and tracking, payments, producing invoices and accounts. 

Building up a personal training career can be quite challenging especially if you haven't got any other streams of income and your livelihood depends on having enough clients. That's stress enough in itself and many newbie trainers might be willing to anything to fill their calendar, including pulling 12-15hr days between 6am and 8-9pm. 

Are you considering becoming a personal trainer but not sure if you're cut out for it? Maybe you've been in the industry for some time but don't feel like you're achieving as much as you'd like.

Launching a career in personal training is a fantastic idea these days. More and more people are becoming concerned about their personal health and fitness levels, and they’re seeking out experts to help them reach their goals. However, you might find that it can be a little difficult to act as both a personal trainer and a salesperson. Even though you might have a lot of knowledge in fitness and health, you might find it difficult to get clients because you don’t have much sales or marketing experience.

The city of Edinburgh is home to some of Scotland's finest personal trainers. Some of the people on this list have trained A-listers and TV personalities, showing them how they can be at their best, both physically and mentally.

More online personal training services have cropped up over the past 12 months. As a consequence of the pandemic and the social distancing requirements that were established, a lot of personal trainers were forced to establish their business online.
