Great advice!!! I might add a simple gym survey for new members and people you haven’t spoken to. This could be about their goals, experience etc. as a way to break the ice. I DREAD approaching strangers and striking a conversation, but the survey tactic works like a charm.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation It’s especially great with naturally shy guys like myself. I always finish my survey with the question “Are you interested in a complimentary consultation with myself so we can discuss your goals and how to achieve them?”. Boom. New lead!
I have a n online personal trainer gym. I train clients from Canada, Australia, uk, Japan and seashells. They all enjoy it and achieve their goals too.
I think once you get used to virtual training it’s very similar to in-person training. This video focuses on acquiring online training clients but the process is pretty much the same for virtual training too: ua-cam.com/video/AWvQVaMkmrg/v-deo.html
Thank you! I also fill out the health history questionnaire with my client in addition to those two. I’ll put a link to that below so you can access it as well if you’d like. d370878b-2e90-493b-8bef-5ccc2b93a349.filesusr.com/ugd/adb0c5_6ea5a6bdeee9494ebe891e8c3f6403d7.pdf
As usual great content Jeff. I noticed you stated that you fill out the forms for your clients during the consultation. Is that a personal preference or do you advise trainers to follow suit?
Thanks! I do advise people to do it that way but you don’t have to. It helps in getting a more detailed health history and allows you to ask questions/clarify anything that comes up on the spot. It also continues the conversation instead of you waiting while they fill it out. For more than 1 person, I do have them fill them out on their own and then look over it since it would take a lot longer.
Hi Jeff, I have a question. If you just started working in a gym, would you train people in the gym for free just like one on one clients to get experience? because I have seen trainers train people for free in the gym just like a paying client
Thanks for the support! I probably wouldn’t train random clients for free in the gym. I don’t want to set that as a precedence. That said, practicing your skills on some friends and family can be very useful to get the ball rolling and get some initial experience.
I personally like the free consultation model. While not everyone will sign on, it makes sure that the clients you are bringing on are right for you and your training. Then, their first actual session is right to business with an assessment, and a workout.
I find when I ask them about their goals they are very vague, "i want to tone up" "i want to loose weight". I don't think average people think about goals like we do.
That’s true for sure! That’s why I always recommend spending as much time as possible talking about goals in detail in the initial meeting. It should always be talked about after that in sessions too.
@@Bikeadelic no you don’t suggest goals to them. You just over their goals in detail. This video breaks it down in more detail. Also, open ended questions are definitely good! ua-cam.com/video/KcKZ1QCUij8/v-deo.html
Do the clients that you obtain off social media need to get a gym membership in that gym in order for you to train them or will you be allowed to just let them into the gym whenever they’re just coming in for for an hours pt session with you?
You are growing Jeff week by week, hypertrophy at its best
It’s because of people like you! Thank you so much for the support!

That’s a great point! I wish I had included that one in the video!

Any tips for getting clients for virtual training? I'm used to the old-school face-to-face way. So, I'm a little nervous about virtual platforms.

Hi Jeff, great video! Do you have clients sign a liability waiver in addition to PAR-Q and informed consent? Thanks!
Thank you! I also fill out the health history questionnaire with my client in addition to those two. I’ll put a link to that below so you can access it as well if you’d like.

Hey Jeff, would it be an good idea to charge for consultation? If so, how much, Thanks.

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation do you suggest goals to them? Other people tell me only ask open questions.

That depends on the agreement you have with your gym/where you’re training people.
