NFPT Live Episode #41


Some of our viewers said:

I know a trainer who does lunch break sessions at various offices in town … most of the employers that she works with pay her directly for their staff’s sessions (it’s an on the job perk for those employee clients, and ultimately creates happier and more productive staff) – a nice win-win.

 

Also realizing that as a trainer, you are part of the fitness industry. Which is HUGE! So make sure you are accessing and tapping into other fitness organizations. It can help you grow not only your business but your scope of knowledge and practice.

 

We have a trainer that has a mobile service (bus). He goes to the clients. I thought that was pretty cool!
