You are doing so much for us..the trainers community

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank man! I love the support! I’ll keep putting out this kind of content because I think the certification programs don’t do a good job with it

[@Djvili]

Love this and everything you do We looked at our current location and demographic (over 40) stable income home owners. The average session for 30 minutes in the area go for 60-75. We then double that and times it by o.75 as we do 45 mins. Now we came from a model where we were including things for free e.g groupt training nutrition etc etc Where as now we offer nutrition coaching, training programs as additional services for as little as $10 per week

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

It sounds like you’ve done your homework well! I’m sure you’ll do great! I appreciate the support!

[@TulpaVision]

Training Package Options video would be AWESOME. Love your content. I still work at a gym but transitioning to online training. So your videos have been awesome and not convoluted like most I see. Keep up the Good work 💪🏿

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support! I will definitely make that training package and online payment video at some point soon

[@devindavis7125]

Thank you for the golden nuggets

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Of course! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@dernprofitness]

Your channel is extremely resourceful👌🏾 and I find every video helpful especially this being a new career for me. Kampala, Uganda 🇺🇬.East Africa.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! I really appreciate that and I’m glad that you’re finding them helpful!

I would start with the mortgage or rent, then the expected expenses etc. Then the amount of people the gym can handle per hour, during peak hours etc and other expenses like hand sanitizer, towels, lockers etc. Once you have built that monthly expense report..that should be done by an accountant CPA...then you can move on to decide the monthly rate. After you need to identify the nutrition program and rehab program you will provide etc...all these are different expenses along with the aerobic and other training classes associated with gym and the PT and OT fees that must be paid out or nursing fees to check blood pressure, diabetes etc. Then you need the monthly maintenance fee or janitorial fee. You must think beyond the square box and think inside the safety square box. What other services can you provide that will market the gym...a Mac Bistro etc. Once you have the other supporting businesses too in place that help support the gym too, then you can even lower your rates to 30$ and folks can get a mani cure, barber/salon services, enjoy a meal at the Macro Bistro and perhaps get style consultation for athletic apparel or business etc. Sure you should be selling tanners for that Physique Competition you will hold at the local mall..when a good 15 to 30 people sign up... The winner gets a Poster of themselves, a cover on the Gyms Macros Magazine, an article (written by several trainers in town)...so now we need a whole marketing and advertising committee for the online magazine also printed and provided as an app that is downloaded with the Gyms App and obviously contained inside the gyms app....we'll call it Macro because now the Macro Bistro needs a supporting business to help advertise and market...etc, blah, blah.. Meanwhile, the Macro Bistro will include their menu in the magazine so if you'd like to order in, that's ok you can order a delivery or you may cook at home with the Macro Bistor Food to Table Plan..that too is delivered and includes recipes also from Blue Apron. The magazine will also contain recipes.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Again, some good ideas here. That said, I think some of this stuff wouldn’t be necessary, or the easiest way to run a business, at least in the US that is. I used to offer many services in my studio but we’ve actually become more successful by offering less services and really focusing in on just one or two things. That helps you to become really, really good at those specific things.

[@modestotalavera9289]

Make those videos, I am just starting in the Fitness and industry and it is helping.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Modesto Talavera happy to help!

[@emilyescobedo9917]

This was great thank you so much !!!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!

[@andersonlucas1674]

I’m really enjoying your videos. Great content. Thank you

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Of course! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@priyarevisdass]

Thanks Jeff. Could you do a video about charging for online personal training? Virtual and pre-written programs?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Of course! I would actually price virtual sessions pretty much the same as in person. Online personal training and pre-written program pricing videos definitely will be made at some point though!

[@tramiamarie]

Hi Jeff! What do you do if a client commits to a package with multiple sessions, but stops paying you or misses a payment? How do you keep track so that clients (and the trainer) are held accountable and can’t make false claims? And if they refuse to pay for the rest of their sessions, what should you do?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Do you have them sign a contract? How do you track sessions? Also, why are they not paying/missing payment? Are they trying to get out of the contract or not coming in, etc

[@tramiamarie]

@ I haven’t started training yet, but am in the process of writing a contract and just want to make sure I cover all the bases :)

[@Boxingjoker26]

Thank you!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for the support!

[@marialilianafranco708]

Hi Jeff, if someone buys 30 sessions to train twice a week, what is the cancellation policy? Because if you reschedule all the time, the sessions will last forever.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. I’m somewhat strict with it too. It’s rarely a problem with clients in my experience

[@petersilj9358]

WAUW! I really admire your teaching abilitIes and skills. (Sorry for my eng., I am from a far away country :)) Such a simple explination, but I can see there is a lot of knowlage and experience behind it. You are douing a great job, shareing valuble and not so easy attainable information. Thank You!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words!

[@ankood]

thank u jeff !

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

You’re welcome!

[@jacquelinegargano7390]

Hi Jeff, does your consultation come with their session or is it a free consultation?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I offer a free consultation!

[@davidbetancourt1of1]

How do I make them sign papers and make them pay me automatically online?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Are you doing online training or in-person training? Whatever software you choose to use for either of those things may allow you to set that up pretty easily!

[@davidbetancourt1of1]

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation I’m doing Online

[@blagd]

At the 11:50 mark you mention creating a video covering packages and monthly options. Is that still coming? I'm really looking forward to that as its probably where I need the most guidance right now 🙏🏾

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Absolutely! That will be one of the next few videos that I do!

[@blagd]

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation awesome!!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I made a video discussing the two options for one-on-one training packages. It pretty much comes down to session blocks vs weekly/monthly packages and discussing the pros and cons of both. Hopefully the video below helps you out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWbGZZWOr8ehpJI

[@blagd]

You're a legend mate. Thank you so much.. I dropped a comment over there too!

[@CharlestonTracy]

Our gym is doing a deal 5 sessions for $199! It’s definitely bringing people in! I wish they did 6 sessions though.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Nice! That sounds like a great deal!

[@oscar61200]

I live in a pretty low income area if I have to be honest and was laid off from my gym due to the virus. I'm having trouble getting any clients at all. Any advice on how to get some new clients?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

That’s a tough spot man! Sorry for your loss but I’m sure it will work out well in the long run. The way I see it, there are probably only two immediate options for you. The first would be to find a job in a more affluent area. The second would be to focus more on online training. Personally, I would try to focus more on getting something stable in a not too far away affluent area. That will give you immediate income and will give you some time to figure out your next move.

[@aeric661]

I live in a 3 mile town

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I grew up in a town like that!

[@dazzydancefitness3561]

So basically 30 sessions for 60$a month or 30 sessions to pay 60$ each time ?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

In that example, it would be $60 each session.

[@kianahyaee1235]

Would it be better to send a questionnaire/consultation to the client to fill in the day before the consultation so you have time to go through it and can go through it better with the client the next day?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I personally don’t think that’s better but it depends on the person and business. I think it’s more personal to fill those out with the prospect and increases your chances of signing them on. I have known trainers who’ve done it that way and we’re successful though.

[@Mikehighlyfavored]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks!

[@BJJMadeEasy]

Jeff doing God’s work.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for your support man!

[@downwithosama1]

You should update this video for 2024

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I’ll definitely be making more pricing videos. That said, I’d still do pretty much everything shown in this vid the same way

[@gavhlev2853]

😀🙏🏿👍🏻

[@JD-hu3dg]

I’m glad u don’t charge anymore! I’d be broke lol!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Hahaha I hear you man
