From the outside looking in, I was a “successful” Personal Trainer.. But it was all a lie.. ► FREE $100K Coach Plan™ … Discover How You Can Get 20-30 Personal Training Clients Every Single Month WITHOUT A Big Social Media Following) – http://www.coachescartel.com/100k. And it’s why in 2014 I quit the gym.. See, I had a full-book of clients. I was charging up to $250 an hour and had a team of trainers working for me.. But I was diving on the inside, because for 8 years I was following the wrong model.. If you’re like most personal trainers working right now you’ll know exactly how I felt.. In fact, you’re probably feeling the same way right now…. I remember that day because it was one of the scariest days of my life. And one of the most exciting.. It was the usual 4:30am wake up to see my 6am client (that cancelled last minute).. Finally by 7pm I finished with my last client, and I jumped in the car to race home in time to give my baby daughter the bottle and put her to bed.. But, by the time I gotten home she was already asleep. I missed out spending time with her that day.. I felt guilty.. Like a loser.. A bad provider.. A bad partner.. A bad father.. That was the point where I got so uncomfortable that it all changed. I was tired of the STRESS. I was tired of the FEAR. I was tired of the GUILT. So, I decided to finally start building the business that I dreamt of.. Because I HAD to fix this. I was going to figure this out or die trying.. And this is when I asked the question that changed everything;. “How much longer can I keep doing this?”. “Can I keep doing this in 2, 5, 10+ years?”. The answers was: NO.. My family was depending on me. I’d gone on long enough putting in ridiculous hours and pieces of my soul into my passion, without being able to live the life I truly craved.. So that’s when I took on my first mentor James, which opened my eyes to how the online world works.. But, don’t get me wrong… I got burnt by plenty of “business coaches” before that.. You could be like me when I first started.. Totally confused with the 100’s of different things you could be doing right now to build your business.. You could be shooting videos, running Facebook Ads, writing blog posts, posting on Instagram… ‘Hoping’ it brings in new clients.. Today, I can confidently say it is the best decision I’ve ever made.. My first taste of successful online training was having 12 new clients sign into my 1-1 Body Transformation Program.. I had over $6,000 of income each month. Which may not be a lot to you. But back then, its changed everything.. So… in addition to the business coaching I was now doing, I started showing some coaches what I had discovered too…. And it worked for them just like it had for me.. It was amazing. I felt like I could really help my people coaches like me. So I started a training program just for coaches to help them do what I did…. The BIG GOAL is to give coaches more meaning, more money and more freedom.. All the successful coaches have 3 basic frameworks in place, and its all you need to focus on right now;. — Attract new leads (who are willing to pay you what you’re worth).. — Convert leads into clients (with a process you can trust). — Deliver your clients great results (and you also get your life back).. We help coaches just like you install these frameworks into their business in this training program.. We called it the “coaches cartel”. (And you’re invited). The reason for this long post is that if you’re feeling like I was…. If you’re a good coach who has been doing this for a while but feel like you may be STUCK in a bad model…. It’s time to get out of the “OLD PT MODEL”…. This is where you’re stuck in the “time for money” trap… and it’s time for you to build a business that has you helping people with your passion for health and fitness. And to get your life back.. Don’t take my word for it though. Look at the results of all the coaches that are building their dream fitness businesses.. That’s why we believe “the proof is in the pudding”.. We just recorded NEW CLIENT BLUEPRINT showing you the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of how 3x Personal Trainers are signing on new clients each and every week.. So, if you want to stop being confused… and simply copy what’s working right now and have a plan to sign on 10-15 new clients each month….

I receive too many to keep up (several hundred per week), and legally I can’t offer specific medical advice to people who aren’t my patients (see below).

For beginners and experienced fitness enthusiasts alike, I offer five reasons why working with a personal trainer can be important.. TEACH PROPER TECHNIQUE. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you might just flail your arms trying to lift dumbbells or use a machine. That’s a great way to get hurt. A personal trainer can show you the proper form and technique of each move so you’re less likely to get injured.. DESIGN A PROGRAM FOR YOUR BODY. You might have a prior injury, or you might be dealing with some ache or pain now. A strength and conditioning trainer can design a program to avoid stressing those areas while you still get a great workout.. DESIGN A PROGRAM TO MEET YOUR GOALS. Not everyone has the same fitness goals. You might be trying to add muscle mass. You might want to lose weight or get in better cardiovascular shape. You might want to get more flexible or prepare for your upcoming sport season. The trainer can design a workout program that best prepares you to meet those goals.. PUSH YOU HARDER. We all know the feeling of getting to the point in a workout where we feel we have reached our limit. It starts to hurt, and we feel our bodies won’t go for another mile or another rep. With a little encouragement, a trainer can push us to go a little farther than we can push ourselves.. MAKE AND KEEP A COMMITMENT. If you have an appointment to work out with your trainer, you are much less likely to cancel at the last minute. It’s easy to skip working out after work and a long day. Having a scheduled appointment keeps you on track and not abandoning that workout for the day.
10 Reasons to Avoid Becoming a Personal Trainer #10 Gyms Treat You Like Their B*tch. Because they can. Where else are you going to go where hundreds of potential #9 Clients Want to Have Sex With You. For some, this is why they went into training.
Some of you might have just read #8 It’s. Here are 10 of the reasons why NOT to become a Personal Trainer – and perhaps why your doubts may not be what they seem. I want to find the right qualifications – it is more simple than you think. To be a Personal Trainer there are only two National Qualifications you require – the Level 2 in Fitness Instructing, and the Level 3 Diploma. These are indicators that you should dump your personal trainer.
They don’t listen or seem to care when you’re experiencing pain or discomfort. They can’t or won’t explain how their workouts. A common reason people quit is that they become disillusioned with the fitness industry.
For some, the reality of working in a gym and training clients doesn’t match their expectations. The early mornings and slow goal progress aren’t quite what they had in mind when becoming a personal trainer. This was the case for me ten years ago. Rushing around, sleeping less, training less, and eating poorly.
Suddenly, you’re a personal trainer who needs a personal trainer. It took me over a year to work out how I could maintain my own. Are you thinking about becoming a personal trainer? Although the idea of spending your days and making your living helping others exercise sounds appealing, there is a whole lot more to being a personal trainer than designing exercise programs. Learn what the top pros in the industry have to say about the joys and challenges of being a personal trainer and what you need to know before pursuing.
They’re better than a mirror. Watching yourself while you work out can help you make sure your form is correct, but it’s They push your limits. Just when you think you can’t go anymore, you’ll be told to “hold for another minute” or do “10 They hold you accountable. This one can be important. A personal trainer worth their salt puts an extreme emphasis on creating a program that works and adapts to you.
It should progress, change and adapt in accordance with your results. 4. They Do Tabata for Everything. A sure sign your personal trainer.
1. Getting certified as a personal trainer doesn’t actually involve working out. Certification is theory-based: you study out of a book and then go to a testing center for your exam. Four main reasons: loss of calorie burning muscle tissue, increase in caloric intake, decreased activity levels, and changes in hormone balance.
List of related literature:
Clients not only relied on their trainers to get fit, lose weight, and train regularly, but they also wanted to broaden the conversation to include advice on business, relationships, nutrition, and lifestyle.
For this reason, an aspiring personal trainer likely will begin a career as a fitness instructor or health and fitness specialist and move into a personal trainer position after gaining considerable experience and a specialized certification.

Can you please talk about de quervain’s tenosynovitis as an injury. I’ve been doing physio a year and still doesn’t feel like I could do anything with my hand.
Thanks Bro this is on target. Lucky for me I’m retired Military with all the health care and a retirement check. This was the best decision for me and things are working out great. Also like you mentioned, in my contracts they pay up front. So a no show or late I still get paid. Cheers!
Very great video. ALL so true points. I was a trainer and have lived through everything you said. Thank you for validating my feelings and doubts that i don’t like about the field.
You are so fucking annoying…… so fucking annoying…. but guess peeps…. he is bang on right. Personal training is not what you people think it is guys and gals!!! But man you need to settle down. Lol
Bedros Keuilian the King of Bullshit would hate this video. He made all of his money on line. He didn’t make it in PT. Now the FB Boot camp at $199 per month.Which people have purchased franchises. Better than Orange Theory which is the consumate rip off.
Fuck this shyt that’s why I quit being pt. What a shytty industry to be in. I will also add there are lots of unprofessional among trainers themselves. These trainers badmouth other trainers and their training style just to boost their own egos Trainers have no respect for each other.
Your YouTube channel is super underrated. Watching your videos tonight reignited the spark to build my personal fitness brand. Definitely want that freedom. Thank you for helping us out.
There is this false perception that a fitness trainer just hangs out in the weight room and the money will follow. You give a good reality check. http://www.soyouwanttobeafitnesstrainer.blogspot.com
If I’m training clients from 4 30 to 9 and couple during the day…that should be good enough..not saying your Gonna be rich but if your staying busy then your making money, if gym is taking majority then quit and keep your clients work else where or independent
I’m a personal trainer and Idk what your talking about. I set up my own gym in my garage and I have openings at certain times and that’s it. If you know how to network and be your own person you CAN make it. To all of you who are passionate, it will be what you make it!
Tim not sure what planet you are from? I have worked for decades in corporate America…there is no such thing as a “cushy job.” Just saying…. At least, there is no such thing as a cushy job that pays you enough money to pay all those bills you keep talking about. But I do think your points are spot on!
I was working as security doing 7-23 job 6/7 day a week having no more then 3 day of monthly.I did 400+ h monthly for 3 years stright PT work is easy..you just soft
nearly 20 years in the industry and this is spot on..couldn’t of put it better myself! what I would give now for a 9-5 secure job with benefits etc!!!…personal training is a great job for sure, lots of rewarding aspects…but its certainly not a “dream” career…it’s more difficult that people would ever imagine
I want to be a trainer because I am in to fitness and i cannot pass the $17 per hour mark. At least with personal training, I can make anywhere grom 25$ to $50 per hour.
I know a few people who came out of the army like I did and became personal trainers because they hated personal trainers… Big box gyms are this weird catch 22 of “we don’t actually want you to workout here” but the personal trainer’s specific job is to get people into the gym…
I actually had to go to school for personal training at American academy of personal training, I was taught fundamentals of kinseology, anatomy, programming, and periodization etc, and how to operate on the gym floor. Alot if these trainers who get their certs online don’t even know how to spot a bench press for their clients.
This also depends on the group you choose to train. I am considering this as a career after retirement from my main job. But definitely, for a young person considering this as a career to eventually retire from it poses many challenges and limits preparation for retirement. Take more courses, don’t limit yourself to one certification level. Open up your field. See what is in demand. Working with special populations, children, seniors, etc. Open up the fields you are willing to work at. Do not limit yourself to a gym. The good thing about being young and having no dependents is that you could try to get a job in a hospitality or travel environment (cruise ship, for ex) and end up making more money than working in a local gym. Some programs are looking to train overweight children and youth as well. Look at other alternatives but do not stop at working in a gym with a basic certification. Because in that case, your choices are very limited.
There is no regulation or licensing in the fitness industry. Thank Christ. The last thing the Fitness industry and the consumer need is to have the industry fucked up by government regulation and licensing. Keep it free and allow the consumer to vote with his time and money.

One pitfall is one where the trainer hypes himself up to his client by talking about you to the customer and gets called out and turns into a bitch
I’m a personal trainer and Idk what your talking about. I set up my own gym in my garage and I have openings at certain times and that’s it. If you know how to network and be your own person you CAN make it. To all of you who are passionate, it will be what you make it!

I see alot of personal trainers at the LA Fitness that walk around prospecting. They look like desperate sharks. Looking like they hate their jobs.
I want to be a trainer because I am in to fitness and i cannot pass the $17 per hour mark. At least with personal training, I can make anywhere grom 25$ to $50 per hour.
Honestly if people aren’t smart enough to figure out that personal trainers are morons then they really have no business dealing with heavy weight
I know a few people who came out of the army like I did and became personal trainers because they hated personal trainers… Big box gyms are this weird catch 22 of “we don’t actually want you to workout here” but the personal trainer’s specific job is to get people into the gym…
If you are smart enough to make the money to pay for a personal trainer you are smart enough to learn how to train yourself. It’s not rocket science.
Does this apply to UK aswell? In pretty sure level 3 personal training have to coach a few people. It’s definitely not as thorough as SS at all
It does not help that people assume that just because their trainer looks good, does not mean that or he or she knows what they are talking about….
I wish there was a Starting Strength facility in Vallejo and American Canyon in California.
Commercial gyms are freaking stupid and an absolute hassle.
I actually had to go to school for personal training at American academy of personal training, I was taught fundamentals of kinseology, anatomy, programming, and periodization etc, and how to operate on the gym floor.
