 Gaining the attention of potential clients and building an audience for your personal training services is something that takes a lot of effort and doesn’t happen overnight. However, thanks to new tech and digital marketing, there are now a thousand ways in which you can get your content out there.  A decade ago people who lacked motivation or community decided to take on a challenge and to participate in events joined a local running club and/or gym. In today's virtual age many online communities are being created via social media to keep each other motivated, share training tips and encourage physical activity.  In the world of fitness, networks reign supreme. For fitness trainers, their daily bread and butter comes with building strong and lasting connections with other people.

You just received your certificate and couldn’t be more excited to get out there and start changing lives. But then you realise it's not all sunshine, happiness and banknotes flying in your pocket. In fact, it's nothing like what you expected.  We help personal trainers deal with difficult clients nearly every day. Some common questions we're asked are how to answer them with difficult questions, how to motivate them when they're down and at what point do you call it a day? Is there a way to turn an objection into acceptance? The topic is vast, and every case is very unique.  Most trainers I speak to have no idea how much nutrition advice they're allowed to give to their clients, with and without all of the nutrition certifications available. In this post we'll unravel the mystery of what you can and can't advise your clients, when to refer out and when to utilise modern technology.  Online personal training insurance is a bit of an elusive beast right now. Personal trainers know they need insurance cover for their face to face training at least but when it comes to online personal training insurance, information is scarce and the actual rules and regulations seem to be non existent.
