Most personal trainers are sitting on hidden time they don't even realise they have and it could be the difference between a business that grows and one that stays stuck.In this episode of the Fitness Business Insights Podcast, Matt walks through one of the most overlooked problems in a PT's working day: the gap. That mid-morning or early afternoon lull between client blocks that quietly drains your productivity, your evenings, and your weekends... without you ever noticing.You'll learn how to close the "intention to action gap," why your to-do list is actually working against you, and how to restructure just a few hours each week to start moving the needle on your business, without working more hours.Whether you're a gym floor PT or working in an independent space, this episode will help you take back control of your time and start building the business (and lifestyle) you originally set out to create.You'll discover:Why most PTs feel overwhelmed at 25 sessions a week and what's really going onThe simple diary shift that more than doubles your chances of completing a taskHow to prioritise lead generation during your gaps (and why it matters more than admin)What "working on the business" actually looks like in practiceConnect with Matt:

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer vol. 2 interviews coaches and trainers who have lead a successful personal training career. HINT HINT, they don't praise textbook certifications, they focus on hands on learning and building teams.If you want to make real money as a personal trainer, “getting certified” is not the finish line, it's the starting line. We're pulling back the curtain on what we see from the one percenters in the industry: the coaches clearing $125,000+ a year while everyone else wonders why their calendar is empty and their confidence is shaky. We walk through three traits that keep showing up among high performers. First, they chase hands-on learning, not just books and bundles. They do seminars, internships, mentorships, and supervised reps in the trenches, because that's where you learn to handle knee pain, shoulder issues, and real-world client chaos without freezing. Second, they build a serious network, especially physical therapists (DPTs) and registered dietitians (RDs) they can actually talk to, not just follow online. That support raises your competence, your results, and your ability to charge premium rates with integrity. Then we tackle the taboo topic: looking the part. Not extremes, not unrealistic influencer standards, but a clear signal that you practice what you preach and you fit your market. We also share practical ways to “level up” fast, from picking the right mentors to running a SWOT analysis on your business and physique. If you're done with the quick-fix mindset and ready to build a sustainable personal training career, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Episode 220: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeRunning paid ads without a profitable funnel structure is one of the fastest ways to burn through your budget — leaving coaches, course creators, and agency owners frustrated with little to show for it. Without the right offer architecture and ad strategy, most business owners either lose money on ads or attract low-quality leads that never convert to high-ticket clients.In this episode, Paul Meldrum teaches us how to build a self-liquidating funnel where your leads essentially pay for themselves. He breaks down the difference between low-ticket and high-ticket offer strategies, why your lead magnet must solve a specific problem (not mirror your main offer), how ad frequency impacts conversions, and how to structure your front-end offers to naturally lead prospects toward your premium programs.About Paul Meldrum: Paul has spent 21+ years building acquisition, delivery, and operational systems for fitness, coaching, and service-based businesses. His work across thousands of clients has earned him industry recognition, including Personal Trainer of the Year (2005/2006) and the Clinical Excellence Award from the Australian Sports Kinesiology Institute.Today, Paul runs Ascend Collective, where he helps trainers, coaches, and service-based business owners turn their skills into scalable systems — building real businesses with predictable revenue and no reliance on hype or shortcuts.Get Paul's free gift here: https://www.ascendcollective.com.au/Connect with Paul:https://www.facebook.com/paul.meldrum.7 https://www.instagram.com/thepaulmeldrumWant to SCALE your online business bigger and faster without the endless hustle of networking, referrals, and pumping out content that nobody sees?Grab our Ultimate Ad Script for Coaches, Agencies, and Course Creators.Learn the exact 5-step script we teach our clients that allows them to generate targeted, high-quality leads at ultra-low cost, so you can land paying customers and clients without breaking the bank on ad spend.Grab the Ultimate Ad Script right HERE - https://join.digitaltrailblazer.com/ultimate-ad-script✅ Connect With Us:Website - https://DigitalTrailblazer.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/digitaltrailblazerTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@digitaltrailblazerX (Twitter): https://x.com/DgtlTrailblazerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/DigitalTrailblazer

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!You can spot the difference between a trainer who memorized a manual and a coach who can change someone's life, and it usually shows up in the messy middle: the first gym job, the first hard “no,” the first client who trusts you with a real goal. We're joined by Caleb Kinney Woods (PTL1 at Lifetime Westminster) to talk about what it takes to grow from frontline trainer to leading a team of 30+ coaches, without losing the craft of training on the floor.We get into the hiring signals that actually matter in the fitness industry: resilience, professionalism, and a track record of learning. Caleb shares why multiple personal training certifications across different systems can be a green flag, not just letters on a resume. We also talk about why trainer turnover is so brutal at many gyms, how that churn affects client trust, and what a development-focused culture does differently to improve client retention and trainer retention.If sales makes you cringe, you'll like the framework here. We break down “value prop” selling, program prescription, and the skill of painting a clear vision from point A to point Z so clients understand what they're paying for and why it works. Along the way we touch on continuing education, nutrition coaching, referring out when needed, and the practical reality of being present, engaged, and dynamic instead of hiding behind a screen.Subscribe for more conversations that make you better at coaching, share this with a trainer who needs momentum, and leave a quick rating and review so more coaches can find the show.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Lawyers who know they want to leave often get stuck in the same place. Not because they don't want to move, but because they're waiting to feel certain about what comes next. Sarah Cottrell sees lawyers who won't make a move until they have a new 20-year plan with an absolute guarantee, and while they're waiting for that, nothing changes.Zach Reisch didn't have a master plan when he left commercial litigation. He had a spouse building a business, a growing sense that law just wasn't compatible with who he was, and a willingness to try something before he knew whether it would work. What he found was something Sarah talks about often but lawyers tend to resist. Clarity follows action.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah talks with Zach about what made him realize Biglaw wasn't a fit and how anxiety made it difficult to tell the difference between something being scary and something being wrong, what it was actually like to go from litigation to personal training and small business ownership, and why tying your identity to achievement doesn't go away just because you change jobs.1:27 - Why law school felt like a decent fit but practicing law did not3:51 - Getting exactly one Biglaw offer and choosing commercial litigation without knowing what it would be like7:29 - How anxiety made it hard to separate "this is uncomfortable" from "this is wrong for me"8:33 - Why lawyers think they should be able to think their way through a nervous system response12:11 - Still having nightmares about his law job and the identity crisis of feeling like he was failing13:14 - What actually helped was the podcast, therapy, and talking to anyone who wasn't a lawyer16:58 - Why clarity follows action and how waiting for a perfect plan keeps lawyers stuck20:29 - Why individual interaction was the missing piece in his desire to help people22:46 - The practical realities of becoming a personal trainer as a second career29:19 - Why tying your identity to achievement doesn't go away just because you leave law33:51 - Being willing to try something without knowing if it's going to workMentioned In From Commercial Litigator to Personal Trainer and Business Owner with Zach ReischRozzie FitnessFirst Steps to Leaving the LawThe Former Lawyer Collaborative

Noch nie in der Geschichte des Personal Training gab es die Situation, dass Dein Klient mehr Daten hat als Du.

Welcome to another episode of “Random Fit” with hosts Wendy Batts, and Ken Miller.

There's a tendency to think conversations about fitness are surface-level, about appearance, discipline, or numbers on a scale. But this conversation with Ashley Basilio serves as an important reminder that caring for our physical selves can actually be one of the deepest forms of self-respect.Ashley, founder of StrongHER Together and Get Fit With Ashley, shares a story that is far more human and relatable than a simple wellness narrative. We talk about strength - not just physically, but emotionally. This conversation is about building and rebuilding yourself gradually. It's about how supportive community helps us to grow. And, it's about the reality that most lasting transformation doesn't happen through extremes… it happens incrementally, through small choices repeated over time.Ashley's approach to wellness doesn't come from a place of perfection. Her story is honest, vulnerable, and real.This is the kind of conversation that invites listeners to reflect on their relationships with their bodies, habits, confidence, and capacity to grow.The episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “getting healthy,” disconnected from themselves, or unsure where to begin. Ashley offers a perspective that feels doable, grounded, empowering, and deeply human.Because maybe wellness isn't about becoming someone else.Maybe it's about becoming stronger: physically, mentally, and emotionally while honoring the story of your life.In this episode:• Ashley's personal journey to wellness• The emotional side of health and fitness• Strength, empowerment, and the power of community• Why small changes matter more than perfection• Daily practices that support growth and consistency• Joy, confidence, and building a stronger self from the inside out• What “SolFul Living” means to AshleyThis conversation is a reminder that we have the power to transform ourselves while remaining true to the power of the story contained within us.Ashley Basilio is the founder of Get Fit With Ashley and StrongHER Together, a supportive wellness community for women in midlife and beyond. A certified Personal Trainer, Health Coach, Group Fitness Instructor, and Menopause Health Coach Specialist, Ashley blends evidence-based education with real-life experience to help women build strength, confidence, and sustainable habits. After two decades in engineering and product design, she pivoted to follow her passion for health and movement, bringing both analytical precision and compassionate connection to her coaching. In addition to leading classes and community programs, Ashley shares free workouts on her YouTube channel and hosts the StrongHER Voices podcast, creating space for honest conversations and practical tools to help women move better, feel stronger, and thrive at every stage of life.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Show Up Fitness has helped more trainers get hired at Life Time than any company. In fact, 2025 we had 3 SUF-CPTs who were top performers bringing in over 200k into the company (Yes, it's possible to make over 100k as a QUALIFIED personal trainer.) How to get hired at life time?The Lifetime Fitness practical can feel like a performance test, but it's really a professionalism test disguised as a workout. We walk through exactly how we approach it so you can show up calm, prepared, and unmistakably hire-ready. From arriving 30 minutes early to dressing like a coach, we explain the small signals that tell a manager you're reliable, confident, and ready to work with real members on day one. Then we get into the coaching that wins the room: how to read the floor, run a quick medical screen, and handle common issues like shoulder limitations without freezing. We share a simple, repeatable programming framework built on movement patterns (lower body, push or pull, accessory/core), plus practical modifications that keep the session safe and effective even when a client can't do the “ideal” version. If you want to sound like you know the why behind your choices, this is the blueprint. Finally, we go where most trainers get uncomfortable: the sit-down sales conversation. We role-play how to ask how often they want to train, how to talk about pricing with confidence, how to respond to objections, and why Lifetime personal training can create bigger earning opportunities when you pair great coaching with clear communication. If you're serious about getting hired and building a real income as a personal trainer, subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a review with the part you want us to break down next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Most PTs think business intelligence is just tracking revenue. But that's not the case.Real business intelligence answers two questions: What's actually creating my results? And how do I use that to scale without adding hours?In this episode, I break down the two levels of business intelligence every PT business needs:Level 1: The Foundation The core metrics you must track to stop guessing what's working: people spoken to, leads generated, front-end offers sold, conversion rates, and client retention.Level 2: Intelligent Systems Once you know what's working, how to automate, systemise, and scale your best work without adding more hours or effort. This is where "high-profit, low-stress" becomes real.If you're new and building clients, start with Level 1. If you have traction, use Level 2 to spread your impact further.By the end, you'll know exactly where to focus first and why most PTs skip this step entirely.If you want to get started with using a system that helps tracking the 'Level 1' Business Intelligence data, head to the link below and download my Paid Pipeline Masterclass.

The conversation begins with an introduction to fitness progress and the challenges of bulking and gaining weight. It then transitions into a discussion about Chat GPT and AI in the fitness industry, exploring the differences between real coaches and AI-generated workout programs. The conversation concludes with an in-depth analysis of a workout program generated by Chat GPT, highlighting the concerns of volume overload and the introduction of a movement library to beginners. The conversation methodically reviewed a fitness training program, highlighting the overwhelming programming overload and the importance of consistency in training. The discussion emphasized the need for a balanced and gradual approach to programming, ensuring that beginners are not overwhelmed and can build a consistent fitness routine.TakeawaysVolume OverloadMovement Library Introduction Programming OverloadImportance of ConsistencyChapters00:00 Introduction and Fitness Progress25:59 Analyzing the Workout Program56:19 Importance of Consistency

In this episode we dive into:​Why Elaina puts her husband before her kids — and the biblical reasoning behind that intentional order​The vanity-to-survival shift in how she approaches fitness as a mom of three​What most OBs won't tell you about your pelvic floor — and why six weeks postpartum is not your green light​How faith became the anchor that keeps her calm when the plan completely falls apartThe Myth of the "Set Apart" Woman​The cultural pressure on women to "have it all" isn't new — it was on the billboards before it was on Instagram​Why trying to be the boss girl kept Elaina feeling like she was falling short, even when she was succeeding​How motherhood didn't limit her identity — it clarified it​The real cost of putting your children above your marriage, and why even loving parents fall into this trapWhat Nobody Tells You About Postpartum Fitness​Working out for a flat stomach vs. working out to outrun danger — Elaina's mindset shift after becoming a mom​Why your six-week clearance appointment is not permission to go back to your normal routine​The difference between good pelvic floor therapy and a generic stretch sheet — and why internal examination is the gold standard​What it looks like to practice what you preach after years of teaching it to othersBuilding a Business in the Chaos​Why "we all have the same 24 hours" is a lie — especially for moms who haven't slept since 2020​The flexibility vs. availability distinction that changes how Elaina runs her doula and training practice​Why quality over quantity isn't just a business philosophy — it's a boundary​What it actually costs to produce the content you're comparing yourself to (hint: $7–10K/month)This conversation reminds us that the most unshakeable thing you can build isn't a brand or a business — it's a foundation. Whether you're a new mom trying to figure out how to take care of yourself while taking care of everyone else, a woman in her 30s rethinking what she actually wants, or someone just trying to roll with the punches a little more gracefully, Elaina's story is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.Looking for more on this topic?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!One canceled client should not be able to wreck your entire month. We're laying out a clean, numbers-first blueprint for personal trainers who want a sustainable six-figure personal training business without grinding 50 sessions a week. The framework is a 60/30/10 revenue split that adds up to $100,000 per year: a strong core of in-person training, a second stream that can cover real life bills, and a third stream that grows your income without more floor hours.We walk through the real math behind stream one, including why you should book more sessions than you “need” because clients cancel, and how gym commission splits can quietly cap your income. Then we get into the biggest missed opportunity we see in the fitness industry: trainers giving nutrition guidance away for free. We explain how to set professional boundaries, introduce nutrition coaching after a consistent first month, and communicate pricing in a way that feels clear instead of pushy. We also talk about building a team with registered dietitians and physical therapists so you can serve clients better and stand out as a qualified coach.Finally, we break down a simple online coaching plan and social media marketing approach that works even with a small audience. If you've ever said “I only have 300 followers,” we challenge that mindset and show how to turn engagement into real conversations with sincere messages that cut through AI automation.

We're coming in hot this week with our Lady Attorneys as we recover from skin care regimens that left us red and burnt. Bryan just found out SoulCycle still exists and is on the hunt for a gay personal trainer. Erin went to the Buffalo Thunder Casino to see Ancient Aliens Live! Bryan discusses the Trump Administration's new proposed rule making it more difficult for transgender Americans to own a firearm, and the shocking conservative ally on the right side of history. Erin tells us about acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and his questionable past proclaiming witchcraft and the Wiccan community have taken over Monterey, California.

You want results. Real, lasting, life-changing results. And the guys are breaking down the ONE investment that actually delivers... hiring a great personal trainer. But here's the thing... most people quit. Sal, Adam, and Justin go through the top six reasons why people stop working with their trainers, and they pull zero punches doing it. From the cost objection to boring workouts to scheduling excuses, they expose what's really going on AND whether AI can step in and fill the gap. Spoiler alert... AI is NOT the answer. Not because information isn't valuable, but because information was NEVER the point. Google has existed for decades. Fitness magazines have been free at the library forever. The real value of a great coach is the human relationship, the behavioral steering, the ability to READ you when your data says one thing but your face says another. That's something no chatbot can replicate... at least not yet. This episode also covers live caller coaching, a 55 minute intro packed with fitness, fat loss, muscle gain, diet talk, and current events, AND a wild tangent about P90X making a comeback with a brand new program. You do NOT want to miss the guys reacting to those training pillars. Plus there is a brand new program, MAPS Push Pull Legs, dropping this month at 40% off.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Struggling with programming for your personal training clients? Enter the 8 core movement patterns and the CCA within the SUF CPT.Most training plans fall apart for one simple reason: they're built on random exercises instead of a clear movement system. We walk through the eight core movement patterns we use to coach real people and to get consistent results, whether you're training general population clients, athletes, or yourself. You'll hear how we think about vertical push and vertical pull, horizontal push and horizontal pull, unilateral work, squats, hinges, and transitional patterns so every exercise has a job and every progression is earned.We get specific on the “why” behind common lifts: which muscles drive each pattern, what joint actions matter, and where coaches usually go wrong. We talk shoulder-friendly pressing choices like the landmine press when overhead range is limited, why eccentrics are a cheat code for building pull-ups, and how too much fixed-scapula pressing can sneakily beat up shoulder health. On the lower-body side, we lay out practical progressions for step-ups, lunges, squats, and hinge work, plus the mistakes that turn a hinge into a quad-dominant pattern.We also hit two topics that every trainer needs in their toolbox: breathing mechanics and pain myths. If someone can't run well, sprinting volume has to match tissue capacity. And “deadlifts are bad for your back” misses the real issue: mechanics, progression, and exposure over time.To tie it all together, we share a simple CCA programming template that's plug-and-play for full-body training with a push emphasis or lower-body emphasis, plus how we use accessories to keep sessions fun without compromising force production.

Click Here To Check Out Our Free Guide: How to Transition From In-Person to Online Training WITHOUT Sacrificing Results or Quality There are roughly 400,000 fitness coaches in the United States right now. In-person and online combined. There are 262 million adults. Nearly 3 in 4 of them are overweight or obese. 79% of them are active on social media — that's over 207 million potential clients. That means there are more than 500 potential clients for every single coach in this country. Five hundred to one. Online fitness is not saturated. Your algorithm is saturated. There's a difference. Today I'm going to break down exactly how to transition from in-person to online coaching — without losing your clients, without undercharging, and without spending your life doing Zoom workouts. We've helped more than 1,300 in-person trainers make this exact move.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Your knee pain might not be a “weak glute” problem or a fancy gadget problem. It might be one missing piece of motion: full knee extension. When the knee can't straighten, the quad stays inhibited, your gait gets weird, and every step becomes practice at not using the muscle that's supposed to protect the joint. That's why we brought on Dr. Justin Farnsworth, physical therapist and founder of Rebuilt Strength Method and Pro App, to give coaches and lifters a clear plan they can actually run on the gym floor. We dig into a simple terminal knee extension screen you can do in minutes, why a low load long duration stretch can be the test and the fix, and how to decide whether you should refer out. Then we shift into anterior knee pain and patellofemoral pain syndrome, why soft tissue work can turn down symptoms briefly, and why the real long-term answer is building tissue capacity with smart loading. Dr. Farnsworth breaks down his go-to isometrics for knee pain relief, including the Spanish squat isometric and how to adjust depth so sensitive knees can still train. We also talk progressions back to squats, split squats, step ups, and step downs, plus a straightforward routine to keep extension once you get it. If you coach clients with knee discomfort, want better knee rehab outcomes, or you just want stronger quads without fear, this one is packed with tools. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a coach who trains people in pain, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find the show.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!You can take classes six days a week, sweat through your clothes, and still feel stuck when you want bigger glutes, a tighter waist, and that athletic “trained” look. We're talking about the classic cardio bunny: the ClassPass regular who does Pilates, yoga, and body pump style workouts, yet never gets the overload needed for real muscle growth. The fix is not more exhaustion. The fix is a better assessment and a plan that matches the goal. We walk through how we run the initial consultation like pros: PAR-Q basics, training history, and the most important part, finding the real “why” behind the goal. We also cover SMART goals that are specific, measurable, realistic, and tied to a timeline that makes sense. If the client says they want to lose weight and build glutes, we explain how body recomposition actually works, why the scale can lie, and what to track instead, including measurements and strength standards. Then we take it to the gym floor with a clear assessment workout blueprint built around the movements that drive glute hypertrophy and total-body strength: loaded reverse lunges, RDL hinge work, chin-up progressions, and hip thrust or goblet options depending on skill and equipment. Finally, we get real about the business side of personal training: presenting packages calmly, handling “too expensive,” and navigating “I need to talk to my husband” with a human conversation rooted in value, emotion, and results.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A client tells you they have a fused disc and suddenly every squat, hinge, and loaded carry feels like a liability. We break that moment down into a repeatable coaching process so you can stop guessing and start programming with clarity. From the first questions we ask about surgery timing and what level was fused, to when it's worth looping in the surgeon or physical therapist, we map out how strong coaching begins long before the first rep.We also lean hard into the biopsychosocial model because post-surgery training isn't only about anatomy and range of motion. It's about fear, guarding, confidence, and the story the client tells themselves about being “broken.” You'll hear exactly how we cue safety, what we look for during an assessment, and how we choose movements that build trust fast without chasing risky positions. If you coach low back pain clients, this is the mindset shift that changes your results.Then we get practical: warm-ups that emphasize spine stability, beginner-friendly circuits with TRX squats, regressable push-ups, planks and side planks, step-ups with bilateral pulls, bridges, landmine presses, and glute work that supports the frontal plane. Finally, we talk progression and long-term strength training after spinal fusion: why trap bar deadlifts and loaded carries can be a smart next step, how to manage fatigue, why 6–8 clean reps beat 20 sloppy ones, and how bone mineral density and heavier loading fit into the big picture. If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with a trainer friend, and leave a review so more coaches can build healthier backs.Training a client with fused discs isn't just advanced—it's essential knowledge for any serious personal trainer. In this episode, we break down exactly how to safely and effectively work with clients who have undergone spinal fusion or deal with chronic spinal conditions.You'll learn what spinal fusion really means, how it impacts movement and mobility, and the biggest mistakes trainers must avoid. We also cover smart programming strategies, exercise modifications, and coaching techniques that prioritize core stability, injury prevention, and long-term progress.If you want to build confidence, deliver safer sessions, and stand out as a highly skilled coach, this episode gives you the practical tools to do it right.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!“Get certified and start making $100K” sounds great until you are standing on a gym floor with five clients back to back and no real plan. We get blunt about why the personal training industry chews up new coaches, and why the biggest problem is not motivation, it is the lack of supervised experience, real systems, and honest expectations. If you are thinking about becoming a personal trainer, or you are already certified but feel stuck, this conversation is your reset.We talk about the trap of choosing a fitness certification like a fast-food combo meal, then trying to coach using only a textbook and confidence. We lay out what actually builds a sustainable personal training career: hands-on learning seminars, internships, shadowing, and mentorship that forces you to explain your choices. Assessment and program design are not buzzwords here. We dig into how to think through exercise selection, how to handle clients who show up with knee pain or shoulder issues, and why “I like this exercise” is not a coaching process.We also get practical about money, marketing, and longevity.
