I QUIT MY JOB! || TRANSITIONING FROM PURE GYM PERSONAL TRAINER TO FULL-TIME ONLINE COACH

[@curtisfawcett]

Great video mate. Just about to start my PT qualification with the long term goal being to work online so very insightful showing the pro's/con's of both. Smart decision on your end taking it online. 2021 will definitely be a great year in terms of your KZbin channel and online business!

[@finn_kelly]

Thank you Curtis mate, appreciate that! Good lick with your PT qualification!

Definitely makes sense just from a money pov. Let alone your own bodybuilding goals. Well done. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Thank you buddy👊🏼

As a PT and Online Coach this is a very informative watch thanks Finn

[@finn_kelly]

Thanks Lucy, hope it's helped!

[@Smithster80]

Thanks for the video mate. Currently deciding my entry into the fitness and coaching industry

[@danieljamespt]

Thanks a lot for this mate, I’ve just recently started my PT course at PureGym and this has helped me plan for the future of my career 💪🏼

[@finn_kelly]

No problem mate!

[@Alex-fw2bn]

Hey man! Have you finished with your qualification? I am thinking to change career and become a PT but I am not sure which is the best way to get certified. Have you heard of Origym?

[@dougkelly1779]

Top video again mate; you provided your usual attention to detail and produced an interesting video. I am sure that you will help us all to stay positive with our training during the gym closures. Good luck in your new venture 👍

[@finn_kelly]

Thank you Doug, appreciate you watching!

Great video, appreciate the honesty as have considered this as a career route.

It makes sense. Congrats bro 🤟

[@powerlius2730]

nice one mate! happy to hear you're able to make the transition to online (especially considering the circumstances)

Thank you mate!

Well done mate. Good luck - proud of you as ever 🥰. Get it x

Very insightful, great video man! 😁

[@finn_kelly]

Thanks for watching Rowan!

[@steve00alt70]

There really should be a personal trainers union to protect workers rights and pay when your employed in a gym or at least financial support when your self employed. Because any beginner cannot afford £600 rent space from the start. And I personally would start online training first (get results from your family and friends) then go from there.

[@MillieCvjetkovic]

Awesome news Finn - can't wait to see you kill the content and online coaching game 👏🏼

[@finn_kelly]

Thank you Millie!

[@ZaccheusMukahiwa]

Super sightful video Finn, thank you!

[@amadali4036]

Great vid mate!!👌 was wondering if you could do a video on how to change your diet after a cutting phase and what you're going to be doing.

[@finn_kelly]

Sure mate, I'll do that over the next couple weeks as I transition into off-season!

[@thomassryann8252]

Good video dude really clear an precise. Can i ask you where you got your qualifications and also which of the two types of job did/do you actually find more fun ? an realisitically is this a career where you can make 40k a year or more? possibly even at a fancy gym or health spa..

[@finn_kelly]

Thanks mate! I used the training rooms for my PT qualifications but also have a university degree in sports science (not needed). I much prefer online coaching and in terms of income, you absolutely get out what you put in, so that depends on you as an individual!

[@allyp7]

thanks Finn, great video. I've just qualified as a PT and this is a big help going forward

[@finn_kelly]

Awesome mate, thanks for watching!

Awesome video my man big achievement

Thank you Joe mate!

[@TheJoker396]

Very insightful video mate, thank you🙏

[@ChristophRohner]

Great Video! Would be interested to see what your processes are for online coaching

[@finn_kelly]

Hi Christoph! Best thing you can do is fill out the application form in the description, and then I’ll get a response video over to you outlining the service/processes and the steps moving forwards!

[@psylean4806]

Love u honesty!!!

[@finn_kelly]

Thank you!

[@michaelgallagher3996]

Im skeptical of doing a PT course which takes 14-15 weeks to complete through pure gym, where I’ve heard it takes 2-3 years to do elsewhere. Has anyone had the experience in qualifying through puregym? Just find it odd elsewhere it takes 2-3 to complete a PT course

[@wendycho2518]

Well, Finn, I'm about to step out and go freelance in a month. It took a while to figure this out. But since I was miserable in the current company, the only way is out

[@finn_kelly]

Sounds like the right decision if you weren't happy!

[@ajharmiah2692]

Why did you not like they company youre in? What makes you want to go freelance. Also what gym was it and hows freelance going?

[@moore4185]

Great video currently doing my personal training qualifications and planning on uni next year and wanting to pt on side off uni and after uni focus on pting full time

[@finn_kelly]

Thanks mate! Good luck with all of that, any help you need just ask!

[@markmoon9024]

You present yourself very well, obviously very knowledgeable. Financially better off, looking at clients that can’t train for long periods of an hour i.e. rehabilitation of hips shoulders knees only manage 3045 minutes. This means you can charge a higher rate for professional service for short period of time in person.

[@bradholtpt]

Very informative mate!

[@finn_kelly]

Thank you buddy!

[@ozzy_delete]

This was so helpful. Thank you

[@louislamonte334]

I would sure be interested in on-line coaching, Finn! Please let me know!

[@sajadali1435]

Solid vid 💪

[@anetafells5628]

great video, just a question. How would you go around doing Pt sessions if you're not employed by a certain gym? I've heard that some gyms can even ban PTs if they notice they are coaching there without paying a rent. It's the one thing I am trying to solve, as I want my own clients without working for a certain gym, possibly use multiple gyms, therefore paying multiple rents would be a struggle

[@dannyg2311]

Pay membership for a few diff gyms. At the end of the day you’re using that gym with your ‘mate’ no rules to say you can’t ‘help’ out and coach your mate 😉

[@jojobrown2504]

I am thinking of doing the pure gym PT course but wanted to find out how PTs actually make their money seeing as you get a few hours and have to pay rent..don’t want to be working for free and having to have another job unrelated to fitness to survive lol.

[@austinrpt]

Best of luck from Sydney

[@onlyJle]

Thanks for the insight of transitioning from PT to OC. How do you initially get clients for online coaching when you started?

[@justalad9688]

Hi mate I’ll be starting my job in Puregym in a couple weeks, any tips?

[@Bushcraft242]

As a PT the lockdown really slowed things down

[@jarrellehayden9303]

Great info

[@fitnasmeansresults1437]

Hi my challenges are the technical setting up side of things. Anywhere I can learn from to do this? I an a level 4 fitness instructors teach various classes Tai Chi, Pilates and cardio dance. Also trained as a PT and have worked in gyms as one for a number years. Do I use Zoom like I did during Covid, also the marketing side. I have a website which need s a facelift but does it's job. I have Instagram and Facebook but at times overwhelmed in getting started..

[@keen.fitness]

Is that figure your monthly earnings ? I'm looking to qualify as a pt soon and just trying to get an idea of what pt's are earning on average per month 🤔

[@jumac2602]

hi very great video, what software do you use for your OC? as im very interested in getting into it

[@finn_kelly]

I use google sheets for programming/coaching sheets, screencast-o-matic for check-ins, and WhatsApp for day to day client communication mate :)

[@marginalgains8477]

Where did you train to be a pt? Did you do it online if face to face?

[@wikzzzkhan4176]

So this means while you being a personal trainer you have to pay them rent 😨 and that’s £600 so how much does the gym paid you per month

[@finn_kelly]

The gym doesn't pay you mate, you get paid from you clients!

[@georgecraker8972]

@@zuskab22 honestly if money isn’t a problem for the time being start at first being a gym instructor, so setting up people’s memberships and giving beginners their inductions etc. Then as u gain experience and more confidence u can move up to a pt

[@impg1258]

Can you tell me about online fitness data sources? because I need to add a lot of knowledge from abroad, I am a Vietnamese in Vietnam can also find it but only basic knowledge and very limited because it is not as developed as in foreign countries. Please help me thanks brother... cause I want to be a fitness trainer...

[@finn_kelly]

Hi mate, no problem! You can learn a lot from KZbin alone to be honest! Also through following people in your field who produce good content on social media. If you want to be a Personal Trainer you will need a level 2 gym instructor and level 3 Personal Trainer qualification. There are plenty of other platforms which will cost you but you can learn a lot: - PT Collective - N1 Education - The Muscle Mentors - The Hypertrophy Coach - Mac Nutrition Just to name a few there for you mate!

[@impg1258]

@@finn_kelly thank you very much bro🤘🏿🤘🏿 , the fee is not a problem , if the high school coach teaches and i get a great knowledge base from them , the high fee is not a problem . If I'm good at English, I'll probably hire you to teach me 🤙🏿

[@AnamDesigner]

Hey , I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging videos and thumbnails which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers.

[@AyaanisWorld]

Is it easy to get clients in puregym?

[@finn_kelly]

Impossible to say mate, but if you're good in your profession and passionate about it, you'll do well anywhere

[@Jay-ho2zd]

Hang on so the main reason you quit PT is for meal time and expenditure are you for real? I would understand if you were at a high level or a pro but you’ve done a show lol!

[@curtisfawcett]

It's allowing more freedom for himself and his own personal goals, what's wrong with that? As well as being able to work with clients who he wants to work with rather than anyone willing to pay him £30/hr. Far more enjoyment working with more advanced clients, getting great results, building a great portfolio showcasing transformations and eventually be able to charge a lot more for his online service. So, in the long run he'll be able to have more freedom and will be earning a lot more money. Also, the security of always having an income. If gyms shut again, he can't PT.

[@Jay-ho2zd]

@@curtisfawcett as a passive income why can’t you do both? Why can’t he target the clients he wants to work with through PT he picks who he trains? Why only charge £30 when you can charge £45 plus?You can work with advanced clients doing PT? Why does making yourself a full time online coach make you more money... rather than doing both. Honestly have a think what you are writing it doesn’t make any sense. What I’m saying is that he isn’t in a position to be able to make any real money from this he hasn’t won shows, he hasn’t got a big following, he hasn’t got an outstanding physique so people will not buy into it. Think about it he needs 30 clients paying 100£PM to bring in 3k a month which is still under national average and that’s before tax... not going to happen! Finally how is online coaching any more secure than PT lol?

[@curtisfawcett]

@@Jay-ho2zd Because he still needs to pay off £600/month rent so you'd rather get any clients just to pay that off rather than be picky/choosy. Plus, I doubt many members would be willing to pay £45 for an hour's session in a commercial gym they're paying £20/month for whenever there's other PT's in the same gym charging half the price. Easily within a year of focusing on his online business, getting great results therefore being able to charge more he could easily earn more from online coaching alone than he would on the gym floor. Why do you think majority of PT's go to online once they have enough numbers willing to go online? Don't see any online coaches moving back to working on the gym floor.

[@versatilefitness6727]

[@colinwatson1071]

Seems like a good idea lol ... seen your house lol I’d be getting another 3 jobs to try and move out of there not quit one. If you had a huge following, successful, one shows, or were in good nick then I would understand but.... ☕️🐸🙈

[@Slawswims]

Pretty nasty and unnecessary if I’m honest Colin! If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it

[@TheEMD1995]

Not really a need for that comment is there Colin?

[@stuartmontgomery6783]

Wee bit unnecessary. Tbh PureGym PT’s are treated like slaves

[@finn_kelly]

Yes boys, backing me up, love it x

[@curtisfawcett]

That's the difference Colin. You'd happily slave 3 jobs rather than focus on a career you want to do well in and could eventually create more income than those 3 jobs combined. Must be a struggle having that sort of small mentality Colin, bless.
