❌️" Disclaimer a unpopular opinion "❌️

If you are a new PT (within their first year), you dont want to be giving 100% to everyone all the time. Let me explain

If you pour out all of your enthusiasm and energy to every new potential client and for whatever reason they decide not to sign on with you , how long will you be able to sustain that intensity for... 4 weeks, 6 weeks?

Boom, ya done!!

Do this instead
1) Improve not impact your communication skills, i.e., can you exchange dialogue with an accountant, doctor, or bricklayer?
2) Set up your back end so you know what business layout a potential client can schedule into.
3) Do rush through the workout. Remember, your 10% might be someone else's 500%

This is a must-read🔽🔽

Let's get into it,

1) You change the type of workout program to often( there should be zero 6 or even an 8 week program shift unless they are competing, cutting weight, or injured. And or experience athletes/lifters over 5yrs+)!

2) You weren't clear in the direction.lifestyle changes or timeframe when you were first in the consault

3) You sold or spoke above your scope of professionalism. For example, a new client has a "tweak" or "ni**le in their shoulder, so you automatically assume its a rotator issue. 🤦‍♂️

1. Client Acquisition & Consistency

The problem: You’re excited to train people, but the hardest part at the start is actually finding clients consistently. You might land a few in the first couple of weeks, but keeping that pipeline flowing (so you’re not stressing about bills) is a challenge.

Why it happens: You’re still building trust, you have no reputation or testimonials yet, and marketing feels overwhelming.

💡 How to overcome:

Offer free or low-cost trial sessions to get people through the door.

Focus heavily on referrals, word-of-mouth, and social media content (don’t overcomplicate—just document your training tips and client wins).

Build relationships in your local gym, community, or online niche rather than trying to sell to everyone.

2. Pricing & Value Confidence

The problem: You’ll probably question whether to charge $30, $50, or $100 per session. Charging too low makes you look inexperienced, but charging too high without confidence can scare people off.

Why it happens: New trainers often feel guilty or insecure about asking for money, even though they’re providing huge value.

Why do PTs quit within the first 3 months of starting their Dream job!!??

A quick breakdown-

No Clear Offer or Niche

❌️Trying to train everyone instead of defining a target market (e.g. fat loss for busy dads, strength for women 30+, post-rehab athletes).

❌️Result: generic marketing → no one feels personally spoken to.

❌️❌️❌️Poor Financial Management

❌️Undervaluing services, charging too little, or not tracking expenses vs. income.

❌️❌️❌️🤌Many PTs burn out because they’re busy but broke.

No Consistent Marketing & Lead Flow

Relying only on the socials for exposure!

Top 3 Barriers to Overcome (the roadblocks to success):

Fear of Selling Yourself

Feeling “pushy” asking for the sale, pitching packages, or asking for referrals.

✅️✅️The reality: if you can’t sell, you can’t serve.

✅️✅️✅️Time & Energy Management

Early mornings, late nights, and constant programming outside sessions can lead to exhaustion.

✅️✅️✅️Barrier: balancing delivery (training sessions) with business building (marketing, admin, personal growth).

Imposter Syndrome & Confidence

Doubting your value, comparing yourself to veteran trainers, or overthinking “Am I good enough?”

This often leads to undercharging, over-delivering, and losing authority in client relationships.

Here are the three biggest self-sabotaging habits that crush most new personal trainers before they even get momentum — and how to overcome them so you can go from $0 to $100k+ in under two years.

1. Hiding Behind “More Knowledge” Instead of Action

The trap:
Spending months completing certifications, tweaking workout templates, or redesigning your logo — instead of talking to real people and selling your service.

Why it sabotages you:
You feel busy, but you’re avoiding the uncomfortable (yet necessary) sales conversations that actually bring clients.

Overcome it by:

Commit to one core qualification and get in front of people right now.

Set a daily outreach target (e.g., 5 direct messages, 2 in-person chats, 1 social media post).

Treat “talking to potential clients” as part of your training program — non-negotiable.

2. Selling Sessions Instead of Transformations

The trap:
You market yourself as “$50 per session” instead of selling a clear outcome (e.g., “Drop 8kg in 12 weeks without cutting carbs”).
Why it sabotages you:
People don’t buy hours — they buy the result they believe will change their life. Session-selling keeps you broke and in a price war with other trainers.

Overcome it by:

Build signature programs with names, timelines, and measurable outcomes.

Package training, nutrition, accountability, and mindset together for higher perceived value.

Raise your prices as your program gets results — your income will scale without needing more hours.

3. Operating Without a Simple Business System

The trap:
You “wing it” every week — no lead tracking, no follow-up, no marketing schedule.
Why it sabotages you:
Opportunities slip through the cracks, and you’re always reacting instead of building momentum.

Overcome it by:

This can make ot break your foundational year, I know firsthand how this feels, and more importantly, I have done or made every mistake from asking at inappropriate times to call on Sunday nights 🤦‍♂️

Try this instaed-

Step 1 – Tie it to their success
"Hey [Client’s Name], you’ve been absolutely smashing your sessions lately — I’m so proud of the progress you’ve made."

Step 2 – Make it about helping others, not selling yourself
"I know a lot of people struggle to get started or stay consistent. If you know a friend or family member who could use a boost like you’ve had, I’d love to help them out, too."

Step 3 – Add a soft, no-pressure hook
"If anyone comes to mind, feel free to pass my name along — no pressure at all, I just want to help as many people as I can."

• Audit your daily schedule by energy drain vs. energy gain. What depletes you: Certain clients? Back-to-back sessions? Admin work?
• Solution:

•👍 Group similar client types (e.g., athletes vs. weight loss clients) on the same day to reduce emotional switching fatigue.
• 👍Add “white space” recovery breaks (15-20 mins every 2–3 hours) for breathing, walking, food, or nothing.

This is a big one-

2. Shift From Trainer to Leader
• You’re at a point where your greatest growth isn’t training more clients—it’s mentoring, leading, and scaling your IP.
• Solution:
• Start mentoring junior trainers.
• Film your methods, templates, systems—begin building your digital coaching assets.
• Set boundaries: limit “emotional dumping” from clients. Be their guide, not their therapist.
3. Master “Micro Recovery” Rituals
You don’t need a vacation—you need a system of micro-recovery built into every day and week.
• Examples:
• Daily: 10 min cold shower, 10 min breathwork, nature walks, grounding.
• Weekly: 1 full unplugged “zero output” day.
• Monthly: Deep tissue massage, sauna/cold, or float tank.
• These are non-negotiable like training sessions, or your nervous system will crash.

4. Evolve Your Identity
Burnout often comes when your external success grows but your internal identity doesn’t shift.
• Solution:

• Ask: “Who am I becoming next in this industry?” A speaker? Educator? Hybrid coach? Brand builder?

• Journal or visualize: “What does my life look like with more freedom, higher impact, and less stress?”

5. Protect the Sacred
• Every week, protect one “sacred block of time” for what truly refuels your soul—family, nature.

• Ask: “Am I living to train, or training to live?” This keeps your why alive.

As a new personal trainer, your greatest leverage comes from building **trust, results, and an unforgettable experience**. Whether your client is just starting or paying top dollar, the **value you add** must feel powerful, personal, and purposeful.

Here are the **Top 4 Focus Points** to elevate client results **and** increase your high-ticket value:

---

# # # ✅ 1. **Personalized Programming with Clear Progression**

**Why it matters:** Generic plans = generic results. Top-end clients pay for expertise.

* **What to do:** Design training blocks (10 weeks) based on their goals, with *measurable progression* (strength, reps, weight, etc.).
* **Upgrade it:** Use periodization (e.g., strength > hypertrophy > performance) and explain the "why" behind each phase.

> **Value signal:** “You’re not just getting a workout – you’re getting a results-driven roadmap customized to your body and goals.”

---

# # # ✅ 2. **Education That Builds Independence**

**Why it matters:** Smart clients value knowledge. The better they understand, the more they trust you.

* **What to do:** Teach proper form, cues, and why certain movements are selected.
* **Upgrade it:** Offer short video tutorials, PDF guides, or voice notes between sessions.

> **Value signal:** “I don’t just coach – I empower you to master your own fitness.”

---

# # # ✅ 3. **Lifestyle Coaching Integration**

**Why it matters:** Fitness results are 70% outside the gym – sleep, nutrition, stress, habits.

* **What to do:** Build simple lifestyle audits and check-ins into your service.
* **Upgrade it:** Offer a “Performance Habit Tracker” or a weekly 10-minute call to review lifestyle wins and challenges.

> **Value signal:** “I’m your performance partner – not just a PT counting reps.”

---

# # # ✅ 4. **Elite-Level Accountability Systems**

**Why it matters:** People don’t fail from lack of information – they fail from lack of *consistency*.

> **Value signal:** “You’ll never be left guessing – I’ve got eyes on✅️✅️

Kepp that fire alive for them 🔥 🙌

Here’s how to retain clients without begging or burning out:

Start every session by reminding them of their goal.

Bring energy. No one wants a flat coach.

Be their loudest cheerleader and quietest listener.

Show up on time, every time. Respect builds trust.

Pay attention – their real life is in those details.

🔥 Your retention isn’t about magic.
It’s about consistency, connection, and showing up like a pro.

But......on the side the client has be willing and take accountability for how they also show up, so we can only do so much. But ultimately, it's on them after a certain amount of time.
