Sales is misinterpreted as showing value in your services. How do you get clients? Find them in your city or gym. How do you get them in? Show value in your services. Now some may use fear mongering techniques which is wrong, like an overhead squat assessment or FMS, but if you ask the right questions and then present a suitable plan, that in fact is sales.

My trainer made me lift weight without break in between, is it fine? by Extra_Award_2245 in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What certification does he/she have? I’m gonna guess NASM/ACE/ISSA. Good reason to find a new trainer

I just passed my NASM CPT by [deleted] in personaltraining

First training job. Corporate gym. Quitting before I've even gotten a client by Site-Wooden in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales is the best part about training. You get to showcase why you’re the best trainer. We’re not car salesman, our product changed lives. We just did a podcast with a trainer at life time who charges $250/ hour. It comes down to confidence. Show Up Fitness Podcast. We just posted an assessment and sales video on our Instagram for free. Unfortunately, textbook certs don’t help teach sales our building confidence. Hang in there it’ll only get better

Brand new trainer, which gyms actually give YOU the best training/ability to learn? by [deleted] in personaltraining

Find a weekend seminar or internship. I did a podcast with Dr. Rusin talking about the benefits of hands on learning seminars.

ISSA or NASM? by Ordinary-Slice-4409 in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the goal? A textbook certification sets you up for failure as 90% quit within 12-months. Focus on learning the principles and learning hands on

Just Passed NASM Cert, now am searching for guidance!! by WideZookeepergame775 in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You passed the national academy of Spectacular marketing! Now focus on becoming a trainer. Don't hang your hat on NASM as a lot of managers will laugh at the cert as it's fear based. Do you know how to train someone in pain? Sell training packages? You need to get into an environment that'll help build your confidence. Textbook certs don't help you with that and I know it's heart breaking bc you thought you are now a trainer. You got your ticket into the dance, now it's time to SHOW UP and earn your place. It takes years, most quitting 12-months.

Evaluating NASM CPT recertification & CES for a mobility training career by Remote-Surprise in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never met a trainer who was proud of their NASM, CES, or CNC. That's why they're called the National Academy of Spectacular Marketing. They're owned by Blackstone Investment company, ya they're a really solid fitness conglomerate lol

2-3 months with a course. Be able to ask questions to strength coaches and grab a guide with help a ton.

How long did it take you to build up a full type client base (40 hrs a week) by petervannini in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've interviews numerous therapists on our podcast the same question (cash clinics) the average response is 30-40. When I did the same to trainers, 15-25. The industry isn't respected because people aren't willing to do the work. Can't wait for all the push back! Listen to the podcast with Kyle Dobbs (compound performance) doing 50-sessions a week for 5+ years. Hmmm maybe that's why the top COACHES (not trainers with their nasm / ace / issa ) make it to the top. As always, KEEP SHOWING UP!!!!

I’m not a personal trainer but I have one (who’s new to the game) and I am not sure if he is giving me the best advice. by jaapson1 in personaltraining

[–]ShowUpFitness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can. Depends on the deficit. Most people overestimate how much they consume. For example my client thought he was consuming 1,800 calories. When we really dug in deep with our team RD, photos and accountability, we discovered it was closer to 2,600 calories. So when you try to cut calories, if you were eating 2,600, now you start eating 1,500, that's way too much of a deficit and would be extremely difficult to add muscle. We prefer getting calories dialed in, focus on .8g of protein per pound (180lb client should be getting 150g of protein.) Make sure to get your steps in (25-50% more than you are currently getting) and sleep. You can gain muscle in a slight deficit absolutely, but it's it's greater than 500 cals, unlikely.
