The Best Personal Trainer Client Acquisition Strategies for InstagramEpisode 441 | How Personal Trainers Get Your First 5 Clients on Instagram Without Going ViralYou have been told to post for 60 days, build know-like-and-trust, make a freebie, and then DM 20 to 50 strangers a day until someone books a call. That model builds you a second job, not a business. In this episode I break down the three client acquisition strategies my clients and I actually use to get paid every day, the Conversation Starter, the Low Ticket Lead System, and the Webinar Low Ticket Funnel. No spam DMs, no high-pressure sales calls, no pretending to be someone's best friend so they'll ask about your program. You'll also get the customer-versus-client distinction that changes how you build your list, why free lead magnets stopped converting, and the exact ROAS targets to hit before you scale ad spend.What You'll Discover:The difference between a customer and a client, and why building an email list of buyers beats a list of freebie downloadersWhy no funnel will save a vague offer, and how to define the leveraged components of your premium programHow the Conversation Starter turns your content into inbound DMs from the 3% of your audience who are already ready to buyWhy 100 buyers will out-produce 800 free leads, and how low ticket offers convert at 8 to 10% versus roughly 2%How to build a low ticket front-end offer that offsets your ad spend from day oneThe webinar low ticket funnel to run if lower customer volume or ad spend makes you nervousThe 90-day focus rule and the front-end and back-end ROAS numbers to hit before scalingTimestamps00:00 — Three client acquisition strategies without pushy sales or spam DMs00:44 — Who I am and why I teach this02:19 — Customer vs. client: the distinction that changes your whole list strategy03:11 — Why I build an email list of low ticket buyers03:57 — The traditional model: 60 days of value, a freebie, and 50 DMs a day05:13 — Why that model breaks coaches (12 to 18 hour days, unpaid)06:55 — Before any funnel: your premium offer has to be dialed in07:51 — The trap of turning your in-person job into an online job08:36 — Defining the leveraged components of your offer11:38 — Real offer structure examples: onboarding, async check-ins, phased reviews12:41 — Specific problem, specific outcome, specific person14:27 — Strategy 1: The Conversation Starter14:42 — Why we've been indoctrinated to think selling harms people15:38 — Free is never free: time, energy, effort16:27 — When people pay, they pay attention17:15 — Six to 14 touch points and seven hours of consumption17:51 — The free dog food analogy18:19 — Energy exchange and emotional investment20:27 — The 3% of your audience who are already buyers21:55 — Conversion content that produces DMs22:15 — The four buyer questions you have to answer23:16 — Gating your old PDF and why speed to connection matters24:14 — Using a customized enrollment call as your Conversation Starter25:16 — Moving DMs to a call, and revenue in three to 14 days26:45 — Combining organic with $2 to $5 test ads27:08 — Strategy 2: The Low Ticket Lead System28:00 — The 10-minute workout example and the ascension point28:47 — How low ticket buyers offset your ad spend immediately30:03 — Front-end offer ideas: recipes, mobility, low back pain stretches31:36 — 800 leads for a VSL vs. 100 buyers for the same 10 clients31:57 — 2% conversion vs. 8 to 10% conversion32:22 — Why posting 5 to 10 times a day burns you out33:11 — 14,000 views vs. 148 views on identical posts33:36 — Strategy 3: The Webinar Low Ticket Funnel34:20 — Putting a low ticket offer on your webinar thank you page34:53 — How to set up your traffic campaign and what to optimize for35:30 — Pick two funnels and run them for 90 days35:41 — Front-end 1-2 ROAS, back-end 4-8 ROAS, unlimited ad budget36:02 — Tracking the metrics that actually matter37:43 — Join me live for Simple ScalingResources MentionedSimple Scaling (free live training) — How I turn $9 into consistent 50K months: https://ptprofitformula.com/simplescalingPT Profit Formula — https://ptprofitformula.comThe Offer Lab — the section of my client portal where coaches position their premium offer and build their Conversation StarterThe Implementation Hub — where the offer components, delivery structure, and metrics tracking liveTelegram — used for async client check-ins in a one-to-many way: https://telegram.orgReady for the Next Step?If you want the full system, offer positioning, the three funnels, and the metrics tracking that ties them together, the PT Profit Accelerator is where we build it with you.

Episode 3504: Rachel Trotta shares the meal prep routine she uses as a personal trainer, and explains why cooking a week of food in one session works so well: it reduces choice and protects your willpower. She walks through what meal prep actually involves, how many meals to make, and the short list of kitchen equipment you need to build nutrition habits that hold up on a busy week. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://racheltrotta.com/fitness/meal-prep/ Quotes to ponder: "meal prep is important simply because it reduces choice." "Willpower is finite (meaning it runs out), so we tend to make poor nutritional decisions when we allow ourselves to be confronted with infinite choices at every meal." "The key is always having cooked food and smart snacks on hand, so that I prevent food detours through preparation."

Im eigenen Business festzustecken, ist ein Problem als Fitness Coach, Ernährungsberater & Personal Trainer. In dieser Podcast Episode erfährst du, wie du damit umgehst.
A client asked me recently what the ones hitting six, seven and eight grand a month are doing that he isn't.The answer was short. They're unreasonably consistent.That's really what this episode is about. September is the second busiest month in fitness and it's worth preparing for, but the preparation isn't a September thing. It's the same handful of simple actions done for longer than most people are willing to do them.I go through what to do with the people you've already got first, because that's where the money is and almost nobody starts there. Then everyone else.In this episode:What the latest data says about the busiest months, and why the year is steadier than it used to beWhy a September enquiry is often a better client than a January one, even though January brings more of themThe three things to do with your current clients, ex clients and leads before September arrives, none of which involve speaking to a strangerWhy I don't want you giving as much attention to people who don't know you yet as you probably think you shouldHow to speak to the September mindset, which is not the New Year, New Me mindsetWhat unreasonably consistent actually looks like in practice, and why it's the same thing you already tell your clientsDo a decent job of the first section and you could pick up three to eight clients in September. That's a couple of hundred a month recurring, or a couple of grand.Book a Business Breakthrough Call: https://mattrobinsoncoaching.com/speak-with-matt

YOUR Exercise RESULTS…Does your Personal Trainer know enough about you? How can any “Expert” help you achieve your healthy body and brain goals if they don't know enough about you? What should they know and WHY?
It's sometimes hard to know how to differentiate between a great PT/OT vs a personal trainer as from the outside the overall goal can look similar. Get people stronger and more functional. To help with this topic, Dr. Shelby Blankenship PT, DPT, will go through some similarities and some differences to help you navigate the two.

The fitness industry is full of quick fixes, fad diets and coaches promising life-changing results in 30 days. But what happens when you strip away the marketing and focus on what actually works?In this episode of The Clockwork Junkie Podcast, I sit down with personal trainer Shauna from *Not Another PT* for an honest conversation about health, fitness and the realities of helping people make lasting changes in their lives.We discuss the powerful connection between physical health and mental wellbeing, the truth about nutrition, sustainable weight loss, training for the long term and why consistency will always beat extremes. We also talk about the darker side of the fitness industry. The copy-and-paste coaching plans, social media gurus, unrealistic promises and the difference between trainers who genuinely care about their clients and those simply chasing money.What stood out most about Shauna was how down-to-earth, open and knowledgeable she is. This wasn't a conversation about six-pack abs or fitness trends. It was a conversation about becoming healthier, stronger and happier in a way that actually lasts. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you've spent years trying different diets and workout plans, there's something in this episode for everyone.A refreshing, honest and practical discussion about fitness, mindset and building a healthier life.Find Shauna Here On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/not_another_pt_coaching?igsh=MXZzcDEya24zYmo4eQ==Find my links here:https://linktr.ee/clockworkjunkiepodcast Support The Podcast Here:buymeacoffee.com/clockworkjunkieFind my other Podcast - Defiant Under Fire:https://open.spotify.com/show/5yToeFEJ0kP8F72XyOdIeg Talk Soon,Mark McCormackCreator & HostThe Clockwork Junkie Podcast& Defiant Under Fire Podcast

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!AI is turning everyday work into a shortcut button, and that's exactly why we're asking a risky question: is AI making us dumb, or is it exposing who never built real skill in the first place? We break this down through the Dunning-Kruger effect and a wild true story that shows what happens when confidence beats competence. The point isn't to fear AI, it's to stop using it like a mask for weak fundamentals. We get specific about what “sloppy AI” looks like in the fitness industry: ads with obviously broken images, impossible anatomy, and generic messaging that kills trust in seconds. If you're a personal trainer, online coach, or gym owner, you already know how fast people scroll and how quickly they judge. We talk about the simple standards that protect your brand, from proofreading and human review to writing outreach that proves you did your homework and actually care who you're talking to. Then we zoom out to the bigger career move: doubling down on foundations. Anatomy, programming, assessment, pain red flags, and knowing when to refer out aren't optional if you want to be excellent and get paid like it. AI can help you study, organize, and execute, but it can't replace reps in the trenches, mentorship, and the humility to keep learning. If you want AI to make you sharper instead of louder, listen through, then subscribe, share this with a trainer who needs it, and leave a quick review so more coaches find the long-game path.

You got the body scan… and suddenly you're spiraling. In this follow-up episode, I'm bringing back Sam Christy, registered dietitian, body-neutral personal trainer, and founder of Triple A Wellness, to unpack my personal trainer assessment through a very different lens. Because here's the thing: A body scan can give you data… but it can't tell you your worth, your health, or your potential as a runner. Sam walks us through: What body scans actually measure (and what they don't) The limitations and inaccuracies of common assessments The red flags to watch for in fitness evaluations What a body-neutral personal trainer looks at instead How to navigate feelings of shame, guilt, or panic after getting your results If you've ever walked out of an assessment questioning your body, your training, or your health… this episode is your reality check (and your permission slip).

In this week's episode I cover how personal trainers are building six-figure online coaching businesses in 2026, and why it takes far more than the latest content strategy or funnel. I break down the five key traits that separate successful online coaches, from having a clear vision and closing knowledge gaps to building a focused brand, understanding your audience and treating online coaching like a serious business rather than a side hustle.
Opening your own gym or going independent sounds like the ultimate goal for a personal trainer, but is it actually the right move for you? In this episode, I sit down with longtime fitness educator, entrepreneur, and NASM podcast host Rick Richey for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a successful career in personal training. We talk about the financial reality of opening a facility, why your network often matters more than your technical knowledge, how independent trainers are charging $175 to $300 per session, and whether online coaching really offers the freedom trainers think it does. Before you quit the gym, raise your rates, or sign a lease, listen to this conversation.

Guest BioBecki Rupp is a certified Personal Trainer and Adventure Travel Coach, and the founder of Trailblazer Wellness. Through her coaching, Becki helps travelers build the strength, stamina, and confidence they need to take on meaningful adventures without feeling overwhelmed by the physical or mental preparation. Her work is especially valuable for people preparing for big hikes, cycling trips, Camino-style journeys, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and other active travel experiences that stretch the edge of their comfort zone.Becki brings together personal training, coaching, and her own extensive adventure travel background. She has summited Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, completed the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and taken on numerous multi-day hiking and cycling trips around the world. Over the past several years, she has supported more than 100 clients preparing for adventures in 27 countries, helping them move from uncertainty to readiness so they can enjoy the journey before the journey — and the trip itself.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Becki Rupp, founder of Trailblazer Wellness, about helping travelers prepare for the adventures they have dreamed about for years. Becki explains how adventure travel coaching goes beyond simply handing someone a workout plan. For many travelers, especially those joining group trips or taking on a physically demanding itinerary, the real work involves building confidence, managing fears, staying accountable, and learning how to enjoy the experience rather than worry about holding others back.Becki shares how her own path combined a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of movement, and years of experience in fitness, coaching, and communications. From childhood memories of watching her grandparents' travel slideshows to eventually hiking iconic routes like Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, and the Camino, Becki's story reveals how travel, preparation, and personal growth can become deeply connected.Jason and Becki also explore the emotional side of adventure travel: why people worry about being last in the group, how partners and friends may not always know how to support a big travel dream, and why having someone in your corner can make the difference between merely completing a trip and truly experiencing it. Becki's approach helps travelers prepare their bodies while also reconnecting with the deeper reason they said yes to the adventure in the first place.

When Nicola first reached out to me, she said she needed help to lose weight. What she didn't realise was that this journey would change far more than her body. In this episode, Nicola shares her story with complete honesty. From the years of starting over, losing confidence, and feeling trapped in the same cycle, to finally finding an approach that didn't just help her lose weight, but helped her build a completely different life. We talk about what was really keeping her stuck, the biggest mindset shifts she experienced, and why this time felt different from every other attempt before it. But this conversation goes far beyond health and fitness. Since starting coaching, Nicola hasn't just transformed her relationship with food and exercise. She's built lifelong friendships, travelled abroad with us on retreats, stepped outside her comfort zone, and made one of the biggest decisions of her life, leaving a successful career as a Cardiology Specialist Nurse to retrain as a Personal Trainer. This episode is a reminder that when you start changing one area of your life, it often gives you the courage to change others too. If you've ever felt stuck, convinced you've tried everything, or wondered whether lasting change is really possible, I hope Nicola's story reminds you that you're not broken. Sometimes the life you're searching for begins with one decision to finally invest in yourself.
DADS: Are you stuck in a rut, desperate to shake off bad habits and replace them with healthier ones? Or maybe you want to be a better role model for your kids but just can't find the time or motivation? It's so common, and it can be incredibly hard to take the first steps toward positive, long-term change. Our guest, Nick Henry, is a father of four who faced a life-changing whirlwind when he pivoted from single to a full, beautiful blended family seemingly overnight. Now, as the founder of Brolistic, Nick helps men ages 30 to 50 “start over” by building habits that stick. If you've been wanting to take action and make some positive changes that impact how you look and feel, don't miss this episode. Topics include: • Navigating a (very) unique path to fatherhood • The challenges and personal growth that come from learning "on the job" as a dad • How becoming a father inspired Nick's creation of Brolistic Coaching and shaped a focus on habit-building for men in their 30s and 40s. • The philosophy that lasting change is about aligning daily actions with the vision of who you want to be. • Strategies for incremental habit formation for busy dads. • The importance of accountability in coaching. • How reframing setbacks can support long-term progress. • Modeling healthy behaviors and self-care as a dad to positively influence children. • And more!
Nothing like getting a steak right when all hope is nearly lost, we discuss knee problems from excessive training, overhead pressing problems that don't make much sense, and perhaps the champion of woke personal trainers has arrived. ALL LINKS: https://swolenormous.com
Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to program workouts for beginners, if you're a struggling personal trainer, SUF-CPT is the certification that will help you become qualified.Most trainers don't struggle with effort, they struggle with structure. A listener asks a deceptively simple programming question: if you bench press on Monday, should you bench again later in the week or swap it out to “keep it fresh”? We break down why constant reinvention often kills progress, and how a smart plan makes clients feel challenged, confident, and motivated because the numbers actually move.We walk through a clear three-day, full-body routine that still emphasizes upper body development using the CCA approach. You'll hear how we pair push, pull, and press patterns, where to place legs so you don't turn strength training into an unintended cardio session, and how to use accessories for variety without compromising force production on the main lifts. We also cover practical exercise progressions, like turning pull-ups into loaded chin-ups, switching from bilateral to single-arm dumbbell pressing, and adjusting rep targets based on training age.Then we zoom out into the coaching side: why straight sets can waste time, how to think about metabolic conditioning and METCON placement, and how to manage volume, frequency, and intensity with simple periodization so months two through four are easier, not harder. If you coach clients who want a bigger chest, stronger upper body, and consistent results, this gives you a template you can apply immediately.Subscribe, share this with a trainer friend, and leave a rating and review so we can keep raising the standard for personal trainer programming.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Email info@showupfitness.com for the sale of the century w/ SUF FREEDOM sale. All certs, 1 seminar and life time access to the SUF platform to become ELITE.Four-week certifications and “just learn on the job” sound convenient until you watch trainer after trainer burn out, undercharge, and disappear. We are celebrating the weekend by calling out the uncomfortable reality in the fitness industry: personal training is treated like a shortcut profession, even though clients trust us with pain, movement, and life-changing goals. If you want to become a successful personal trainer in 2026, you need more than a textbook and a logo in your Instagram bio. We break down why the quit rate stays so high, what managers and top trainers report from inside big gyms, and how the system fails new coaches by starving them of hands-on continuing education and real mentorship. We also get specific about what competence looks like: anatomy you can actually explain, programming built on principles, and a process for screening, modifying, and referring out when a client shows up with shoulder, knee, or low back issues. Safety is not a buzzword, it is the foundation of confidence. Then we connect the technical side to the business side: why trainers get stuck at $25 to $50 an hour, how a lack of skill shows up as fear of sales, and how to build a clear offer, follow-up pipeline, and professional demeanor that makes clients want to commit. We also talk about leveling up with support from experienced coaches, physical therapists, and registered dietitians, plus adding additional revenue streams like nutrition coaching and deeper health education so your career has staying power.

Heather's answer, plus the surprising reaction she saw online, pushed her from curious to committed and straight into a personal trainer certification. What follows is a real-world look at how a midlife career change can work when you stop chasing hacks and start building skills.We talk about hiring an online coach across the country, why logging food is uncomfortable but powerful, and how “eat more” can be the missing step for body recomposition when you've been stuck in the fat-free mindset for years. Heather breaks down what it's like to learn macros from scratch, train with purpose instead of punishment cardio, and finally feel in control of results. If you're searching for practical guidance on online coaching, macro tracking, strength training for women, or how to become a personal trainer later in life, this conversation connects the dots.We also get into the bigger problem: fitness misinformation. From influencer hormone drama to supplement noise, we share how conferences, mentorship, and a strong coaching community sharpen your critical thinking so you can help clients with integrity. Heather lays out her next steps, including nutrition coaching, training out of a home gym, and starting with friends through word of mouth.Subscribe for more honest coaching conversations, share this with a friend who's thinking about a career pivot, and leave a review with the biggest fitness myth you want us to tackle next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!$120,000 as a personal trainer is not a mystery, it is math plus strategy. We start with the clean target of $10K per month and work backward into what your week actually needs to look like, including the part most people ignore: clients say they will train three times a week, then life happens. Missed sessions, weak cancellation policies, travel, sickness, and burnout turn “perfect plans” into messy income fast, especially at $50 per session.We walk through the real numbers at $50, $75, and $100 per session, and how each tier changes the size of your client roster and the stress level of your calendar. We also get blunt about the thought experiment that should shape your whole business: why work more when you can work less and get paid more? If you want a sustainable personal training career, your pricing has to match your skill, your market, and the results you deliver.Then we go beyond sessions into personal trainer revenue streams, especially nutrition coaching done the right way. We talk about separating training from nutrition, earning the “green light” after a month of consistency, building accountability with food logging, and even partnering with a registered dietitian for monthly calls and deeper client support. We close with a simple 60/30/10 model for training, nutrition, and supplements, plus ideas for email lists, content, and online coaching so your income is not tied to one gym or one crisis.

The body of 39-year-old personal trainer Elena Moore was discovered nearly a week after she went missing, and now a full week later, police still don’t have any answers into how or why Moore died. Preliminary autopsy results show no physical trauma and did not reveal a cause of death.
