First Session Framework || How To Meet With A Potential Client || NASM-CPT Tips

What should you do during the first session with a potential client? Should you do movement assessments? Ask them about their goals? Give them a full workout?
There are a lot of potential ways to approach this, but the BEST way to go about this is by using a simple, flexible framework that ensures you end up with a new client and the client feeling confident with you as their trainer.
In this video, Axiom Instructor Joe Drake, shares the Axiom first session framework and his secret weapon to deliver an outstanding initial meeting that will have you (and your client) feeling confident in working together.

couldn't agree more asking the 5 questions before anything else 👍

This legitimately was probably one of the most helpful videos. Your other videos help me pass my andasm exam, but this one made me feel like I didn't have to guess what I had to do next as a CPT.

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Glad it helped!

[@michelelima1078]

You are awesome, Joe!

[@terwils7492]

Great stuff Joe! I just passed NASM CPT and trying to visualize what my next step is for getting experience. Before, I jump in and make a bunch of mistakes, I want to at least have an idea in my mind of how to approach clients and start working with them. Plus, need to find a possible location to do all this, my next contemplation phase as well. I'm on the fence leaving my old profession as real estate appraiser completely. My license for that career is coming up in January and very expensive to renew. If I could be confident that I can replace that income with CPT, I wouldn't even consider renewing the license and focus more time and energy on becoming a great CPT. Thank again for all your helpful videos, they also helped my prep and prepare for the NASM exam.

Congrats on passing your exam! If you're looking for some more help or direction on where to go from here, you may be interested in this event I'm hosting in January: axiomfitnessacademy.com/axiom-accelerator/

Thanks! I have considered signing up. However, I live in Sacramento, CA and that would be an expense I can't afford yet. But, I'm still considering this to jumpstart my career. @@Axiomfitnessacademy

I got my NASM cert 9/25/23 and waited 6 months before deciding to start my own business. The rates you get from a company are just brutal; I get it, but still... Anyway, I was wondering the same thing as you, how to get experience, so after I opened my business I offered 3 months free PT sessions for up to 10 people. Ended up with around 5-6 people with 2-3 being solid weekly clients, the rest is just scheduling issues or they would be. The agreement is that I train them for free, they give me an honest review for my website, social media pages, etc and they take progress pictures that I can use later and most importantly, when people ask them how they are looking better they give people my card or my info.. I've already got one person that I'm meeting with today and I haven't even gone public yet (August 1, 2024). This gives me time to build my website, get contact forms ready for launch, test, learn, etc. Videos like this and sorta healthy are great for checking what you do with your clients and additions you can make. Can't wait to get more involved in this community
