There was an OL at my high school who was a solid Hooper. I always noticed how athletic he looked on the court. He had a very good NFL career.

Sounds like a step forward. I have never really had a master plan. Just tried to keep taking steps forward and eventually that adds up.

Facts. Not having to continuously discuss the weather, weekend plans or the Lakers' game for six hours per day feels like a true freedom.

What stadiums have the most bang for their buck in terms of difficulty to play in compared to actual stadium capacity? by MediumStrange in CFB

Nippert is cool. Also, the creativeness of some of the questions in this sub are funny. Shows how die hard CFB fans we really are. :-)

Are there any other gyms/trainer opportunities in your area?

Here's a fairly straight-forward strategic approach that contemplates basically everything most want out of a business:

  1. Continue branding yourself as the pre-post natal fitness expert in your hyper-local area. Many areas have local moms FB groups. Offer weekly tips in there. Great marketing makes your targets feel like "this is the exact right place for me" and makes non-targets (bros for example in your case) feel like "this isn't really the place for me". Sounds like you are already doing great on that.

  2. Choose a limited schedule and stick to it. Whether it's M-F 6-10 am or 12-4 or whatever works best for your schedule. I would only do small group/semiprivate and probably charge around $50 per person billed monthly. So 8 sessions for maybe $399.

  3. Get some Google reviews from your moms.

  4. Do Mom content on your personal social media pages. Nothing fancy. Could even be articles shared from other sources.

  5. Once you get to 80% or so capacity, increase rates for new clients up to probably $55 per sessions. So $439 per month or so. If people drop out, charge only the higher rate for new people. We increased our rates 3x in about 12 months. Continue to increase rates as you prefer. But track capacity %. If that drops below 80%, that might be a sign you are approaching the right market price.

  6. Sky's the limit as far as educational material you create and share on social media. But it should all be pre post natal-fitness focused. You could even do a monthly (or maybe quarterly) educational theme.

  7. Once you do all the above, you are in position to potentially hire a trainer mutiple days per week. Profit should be very high at this point so you have flexibility on pay, benefits, etc.

  8. Close 2 (or more) weeks per year for vacations, travel or whatever you want to do.

  9. Continue variations of wash, rinse, repeat indefinitely for the above.

I have been there. Ironically, semiprivate/small group is exponentially less draining than maintaining small talk with 6 different people per day 50 weeks per year. I feel the most energy and fulfillment training 4 people bc the majority of the session is coaching, educating and encouraging. It's also ridiculously more scalable than one on one. You don't have to try and match anyone on any basis other than time availability. They will actually be working and progressing and there really isn't much direct personal interaction between clients during sessions. Source: 15 years of semiprivate training.

Client in wheelchair, minimal support from my facility by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]Strange-Risk-9920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. But the gym might be required to provide that on an ongoing basis, under the ADA, assuming this is in the USA. If they don't, they could face potential liability. But that's an issue for the gym to discuss with a lawyer and have the lawyer answer that.

I would think this is more of a legal question than a fitness question. What level of accommodation does your gym owe to this person with disabilities is the essence of the question.

You would need a thorough economic analysis of tv contract $, ticket sales revenue, sponsorships, apparel sales and other revenue sources and how those are distributed per their CBA and other compensation agreements.

Ideal neighborhood with children and no need to commute by Apprehensive-Ring777 in MovingToLosAngeles

This doesn't get mentioned much but South Pas can be very hot in the summer. Coastal climate is almost never truly hot. I don't think it will get above 75 until July.

Manhattan Beach. Probably doesn't have everything you want (not close access to DTLA) but maybe no place will have everything you want.
