[@reubenbrooks959]

Was this video helpful? Let me know down in the comments!

[@Langey_Fitness]

Absolutely! Thank you! I'm only just now realizing some of the steps you've layed out in this video. This has encouraged me to keep going and looking the part, and eventually working at a studio/boutique gym.

[@ThePitts412]

Very helpful.

[@SelfMotivationPerseverance]

Fire Bro exactly what I needed to hear

[@mariaandrade4523]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@GentileGiant]

Super helpful

[@flashfitnessresultsbangkok9628]

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.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you bro!! I appreciate that!

[@_MarKeyJ]

28 year old trainer 3 years I’m affirming that you are a good send for posting your opinion on this. Gratitude!

[@mrbulbasore1258]

I've been broke and struggling since becoming an independent trainer. This was a HUGE help. Thank you.

[@matkennedy.]

I respect the hustle, it's not easy hey. What have you been struggling with in particular?

[@reubenbrooks959]

Glad it was helpful bro!

[@dchambersfit]

I’m 6 minutes and 39 seconds in and it turns out I’ve already done the first two steps!

[@reubenbrooks959]

Let's go!!

[@keithlittle293]

Obvious right.. hope the info gets better.. 8 mins in.. struggling

[@keithlittle293]

12 mins in . Now getting interesting 👌👌🤙

[@charltonplayz4596]

Love how this guy gets straight to the point right from the start this is the kind of content that is so rare to find these days ❤

[@Evolve_-]

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.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Glad it was helpful Darius! Thank you for the support

[@TheJulz1972]

What is your phone number because I would love to get in shape

[@Langey_Fitness]

"This is when you shadow the best trainer in the gym and you BECOME the best trainer in the gym" Me- recording myself training my clients with their permission then watching those sessions 😌 Lol, okay actually great advice tho! This video is amazing thank you so much! You really layed it all out simply and had no intention of selling any quick scheme to your audience. You're a blessing, man. Truly.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you Daniel! Im glad you found the value in it!

[@GetActivatedTraining]

Wow you’re the first person who explained exactly what to say in Dm’s and who to Dm and how to find them! This is so useful, thank you!!

[@XavierKenn]

I never really thought about the part where you might want to reach clients who you want to work with! It makes so much sense. Thanks for this video!

[@lawrencehoward7420]

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. I can’t wait!

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you brother looking forward to working with you. Stay safe out there!

[@PraxisOfHealthBillFaulkner]

Wow. This video was extremely helpful. I'm a certified fitness trainer and I literally began searching for ways to take my business online. This was the first video I came across. Thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge. Blessings!!

[@reubenbrooks959]

Glad that it was helpful for you!

[@PrinceEliseo]

Great video! I’m excited to start my journey in the fitness business industry, and I’m definitely taking notes from you.

[@nikkiagraham2634]

Mr. Reuben! I literally stumbled across this video! And I am thankful for the knowledge you shared! I absolutely love step one… people! let’s look like the walking commercial advertisement, that you want folks to contribute their coins to. So Sir! I will be reaching out to your team after I thoroughly complete step one! This video provided needed motivation. Thank you!

[@meganbrules8050]

I to am glad I found this video

[@rayraysaoif]

Amazing Video. This is what I want to do. Very good information and will help a lot of people out there. Thank you.

[@Fitness4longevity]

Very informative and boy can I relate to each and every one of those experiences.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Its the "journey" right lol

[@zephyrkhambatta]

Helpful for anyone trying to become a trainer. Was a good watch.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you Boss!

[@FantomOfFear]

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)

[@reubenbrooks959]

For sure! There's a ton of pros and cons with each!

[@jordansopher3323]

Thank you for sharing this video, wanting everyone to win is admirable. Info without the enormous costs🤝

[@Monillla]

Great information and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@i_would_but_i_wont]

[@Getfitwithchimmy]

Thanks Mr Brooks this is giving me motivation and vibes to leave my job and look for a boutique gym Please can you give me more ideas please

Thank you Jonny!

[@Peakmastery26]

Perfect summary thank you brother 🙏

[@isaiahrichardson2158]

Thanks for the road map!

[@FITwithGabe]

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]

Great question it really depends on your goal. It's always a good idea to get in person experience because it will transfer to online but you dont "need" to have it.

[@kemperwoodruff758]

Great video 🫡

[@truefitness2622]

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.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Good for you! I would just start online!

[@Fairpire]

Thank you, very wise encouraging words!!

[@user-wz2up3ek1f]

Thank you so much Reuben!

[@RodneyzWorld]

Good vid.

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you Rodney!

[@KirkyDawson]

Very Helpful

[@munaahmed4164]

Thanks for your help brother you make me my day l am knew personal trainer

[@Japanimal1992]

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.

[@ska493]

Very informative man thanks

[@AnthonyMceachin]

Anyone here who's tried his advice? How are things going?

[@fqeq9396]

Such a useful video bro thank you.

[@Mattstravelchannel]

Do you dm the people that like the content of the high end places

[@troyfishlock8819]

Well said legend !

[@kittykat831]

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.Sadaki]

Great help Thank you

[@connormarsden5285]

How long should online sessions be? How do I structure it?

[@Chamacos_mind]

awesome vide, one question though, when you say you went there virtually and dmd them. what do you mean? like you would dm the high end places instagram or how did that work?

[@yvng-juvi7907]

GEM FOUND!!!!

[@harrydiver8522]

Fantastic video

[@reubenbrooks959]

Thank you!

[@TheJulz1972]

My name is Ashleigh Wheatley can I please have your number because I would love to get in shape

[@noahbrewster8263]

Thank you Reuben

[@348tacos7]

This is awesome Reuben! Just one question. How did we get to 3k a month in the first 0-3 months if we work at the boutique gym for free? Do we request pay at a certain point? Will they go for it?

[@1UnitFitness]

Same thing I was thinking! Maybe different gyms have different policies

[@reubenbrooks959]

Great question.. I would use the strategy of getting clients into the gym for free first and then selling them on your package. You should do that until you're making at least 3-5k per month

[@juniorsemil]

Great video appreciate the fact you took time to create this. I know how time consuming that can be. One question I feel you didn’t get time to elaborate more is.. it it truly important to have a certification for PT?

[@empowermentbrands3321]

Thank you

[@shockfitmodejr]

Great content! I already see things that I want to adjust and implement! Definitely will be tapping in moving forward! Thank you!

[@dallaswinch5628]

Thank you!

[@jerrygregg3938]

I’m ready to go

[@karlaquinterorojas6483]

Great video thank you🙏✨

[@zolt320]

Awesome video! Have a quick question though. Why do you advise against big box or premium gyms? Is it because of the percentage they take from trainers or are there other reasons too? 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.

[@reubenbrooks959]

The percentages are the main thing. The added benefit of a smaller gym is the mentorship

[@KEVVDL]

very smart, did most of your client continu with you after the free training session?

[@reubenbrooks959]

I would say 40% did

[@betterlife8838]

Hey there i really like your content and i wanna work with you . I can create reels or shorts for your social media platforms .

[@bodyup360fitness7]

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.

[@makemoregivemore]

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!

[@getfitwithbreey7255]

Great video, a vast amount of information. I do have a question. Where do you encourage people to outsource fitness business coach ?

[@philliptamez]

About to start my fitness journey here soon! This might sound dumb, but what app did you use when you did those writing parts with the iPad?

[@HerwayfitJazz]

Facts

[@amandagwatidzo2926]

Thank you !

[@elenastella6693]

This is such a great value video!!!!!!!!! But I'm stuck. I was at the "become a great trainer in person" phase and I had my clients at the gym where I was working. Then I moved back home, to south Italy, where I am back to....zero. I want to work online but I have zero clients here at the moment. I can't have any feedback nor record any client. What do I do😭😭
