I have been a trainer for 27 plus years…Let me say that it is so refreshing to hear someone in the industry who actually “GETS IT!” Great stuff…thoughtful, methodical, doable advice. I found myself agreeing with every word out of his mouth. If you are a young, struggling trainer…give this guy a follow... you have no idea how important all this stuff is. The schedule building, the focusing on the wealthier clients, the hybrid training…all of it. Big applause, Reuben and best wishes to you.

This video is jam packed with useful information. I’m genuinely shocked it doesn’t have more views. I got my certification a while ago and I’m still learning more and more about the body every single day, I just want to be confident that I understand the information that I need to. This video was extremely useful for me because I didn’t know what to do after I’ve mastered all of the information about the body that I need to master, thank you, like a lot.

Awesome video Ruben, I’m in the process of becoming certified at this moment I’m currently a truck driver and I’m out of home away from my family and newborn three weeks out of a month. This has been my passion for so long, but then things happen in my life to where I have to take care of responsibilities, but I have decided to step out in faith and I put a goal out for myself to be finished with over the road trucking and get a local truck driving job so that I can focus on learning how to put out reels on my IG so that I can build a brand. may you continue to be blessed as you bless us and I will definitely be reaching out in the next several months.

Great video, can't believe you're only at 5k subs. I love the boutique studio idea but that only works well if they're actually successful hah! I started in a boutique which was somewhat helpful to build my confidence by shadowing, etc but they weren't very busy so I ended up switching to Equinox which was great because you get to work with a lot more trainers and they have good in-house education. So I think a gym is a good way but definitely the higher end ones are better (better clientele, better pay, etc)

Very helpful. I have a question. Is it necessary to start as an in-person trainer? You mentioned it is but at the end said we can skip straight to online. I’m currently studying for my NASM certification. I’ve made workouts for people online but have no real licensed in-person experience. I would like to have that, but also want to be fully online eventually. Would you recommend going straight to starting an online business?
@reubenbrooks959 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this video. I qualified as a personal trainer 3 years ago but have had no luck being accepted from commercial gyms. I've been training for more thank 10 years and definitely look the part but it's extremely difficult getting a foot hold in the sector without any help or knowing someone who works in the gyms, and unfortunately I don't know anyone. I took a break last year from all the rejections from these gym and started working as a delivery driver for a while but have not fully given up. I wil use your approach and hopefully get accepted by someone because it's something I've wanted to do for while, helping people achieve their fitness goals.

There's a lot of great advice here, however there's one point I couldn't disagree with more. You said to join a boutique gym and ask them to let you work for free. This is simply not a feasible option for most people. I climbed my way up to become a Health and Wellness Manager/ Manager of personal trainers at a large Health resort in Japan, and I STRUGGLED on my way up. I was working 3 jobs while in university just to barely scrape by and get my degree and certifications. To advise someone to work somewhere for free or for "experience" just doesn't work in this day and age and is a very privileged thing to suggest.

You should never ever take clients from Jim! First of all, you have to sign many papers when working at a gym, boutique or not… And one of them legally means you cannot take their members. This is seen at most gyms. Also, it is just not cool. I worked at two different boutique private personal training studio is, and I never ever would have taken the clients from there even though I was asked by the clients if I could train them at their homes. I’m sorry bro just don’t think that that’s like the best time for everyone but I do think that putting yourself out there like teaching a Zumba class or something else in your community is a great way to market yourself and I think that’s the point that you should be trying to make ❤

I am in a position where I am working at a big box gym for 2 years, became #1 quite fast, however, to earn what I wanna earn, I gotta work crazy hours... That's the main reason I wanna go online.

Love the information! Thanks for this. Curious though, as to how did you get your in person clients to convert online? And what did you do with the ones you couldn’t convert online? I am in that middle place where i actually am already training at a private studio. However the clients are not mine, they are the studios. I found an opportunity at another studio where i can rent space with VERY little overhead with all the equipment provided. I’d just need to start from scratch with fishing for clients.
@makemoregivemore5 ай бұрын
Here are some tips to convert in-person clients to online: Build rapport: Maintain strong relationships and trust. Highlight benefits: Emphasize convenience, flexibility, and personalized attention. Offer trials: Provide free sessions to showcase online effectiveness. Provide value: Offer exclusive content, personalized plans, and ongoing support. Communicate clearly: Explain the transition process and address any concerns. Showcase results: Share success stories and testimonials from online clients. Adapt services: Tailor workouts, nutrition plans, and communication methods to suit online platforms. Offer incentives: Provide discounts or bonuses for transitioning to online coaching. Hope this helps!
