​When you work in a gym as a personal trainer, the gym floor is going to be your most significant source of picking up clients. Whether it's an independent facility or a big chain commercial gym, harvesting the opportunity of people seeing you in-person as an expert is paramount.

​It’s a common aspiration for personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts to one day open their open gym. This might be the perfect choice for you if you are passionate about helping others with their health and fitness, and aren’t afraid to work long hours in the pursuit of your goals.

In some ways, personal training can be a strange profession. There may be times where you are alone with clients very early in the morning or very late at night when the gym you work in is otherwise empty.

​​The onboarding process for new personal training clients begins the moment they sign on for personal training with you. It's a term that refers to all the stages that you take the client through from the moment they say that they'd like to train with you.

​Paid advertising is where you pay for traffic to get directed to your personal training service. It's different from organic marketing, where you rely on the natural reach of your audience to take action on your posts. 

​Personal training, particularly when based online, is likely to generate more leads when you have an audience that is highly engaged with your message. It doesn’t have to be the biggest audience, but rather one which regularly consumes, interacts with and shares your content.
