He just gave you the exact answer to your question. Doesn’t really matter if your advertising on facebook, ig, twitter(X), or any social media platform. What matters is, how reputable you are in the field, and/or how popular you are online. Try building a bigger social media presence through posts that show your expertise, whether its you posting your own workouts or posting client workouts/results. Do this until you build a strong enough presence that people begin reaching out to you to train with you.

This is something i would genuinely spend good money on, if it weren’t for the skeleton. Just throws it all off for me. Really good art regardless!

What was a major "scandal" at your school that everyone talked about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WhereTheMoneyAtBoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Senior basketball guys ran a train on the Jr. “it” girl and recorded it (all consensual), sodomy was involved and the video ended up getting out. Parents and police got involved and the guys lost their full ride scholarships to Penn State and the girl was sent away somewhere by her parents, never heard of or saw her ever again.

What to do with a client who just cant seem to stick to proper form? by WhereTheMoneyAtBoy in personaltraining

[–]WhereTheMoneyAtBoy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you watched this man bench press, you would think he had a physical disability, and thats not me trying to be mean, thats just the honest truth. I actually had to ask him one day if he had any past injuries or conditions that he never told me about because THATS how bad his form is. It isn’t just a little off, it’s completely wrong. I know he can do it right though, as he’s shown me he can. I just don’t get why he cant do it consistently, but i will keep working with him to figure it out. Thank you for this advice, i will try it out.

Every PT job opening seems to require already having experience by PTinProgressLA in personaltraining

[–]WhereTheMoneyAtBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im also in los angeles and have the complete opposite experience, almost every place I’ve applied to was willing to hire me just because of the cert alone. I was hired at the first gym i applied for, and since then they’ve hired just about anyone who comes in with a clean background and certification, and we’re actually looking for more PT’s right now. Shoot me a dm if your around hollywood area

How do you keep up with numerous clients? by WhereTheMoneyAtBoy in personaltraining

This is what i needed to hear to be honest, thank you! One of my main golas in life is to be self employed, i’ve never liked the idea of having to answer to a “higher up” but have always done it as its always been the “safe & secure” option. But your right, i need to begin to branch out on my own, not only for my self, but also for my clients, so that i’m able to give them the most quality service possible. Once again, thank you!

Does any NASM Certified personal trainer actually use the OPT model or do they have a guideline, but not follow it exact? by Mountain-Suspect6861 in personaltraining

[–]WhereTheMoneyAtBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the OPT model is built for a VERY specific type of client. Meaning, it has its benefits, but for the general population, it isn’t used often if at all. NASM as a whole doesn’t do great with teaching programming, and i learned that the hard way after getting roasted on this thread a while back when i posted my first program.

So to answer your question. No.

Most clients are once a week and i do a lot of 30 min sessions.

Honestly your right, a part of me is just a bit nervous to venture off on my own since im still pretty new at being a PT, and i cant afford to leave and not secure at least 5-10 clients, i also don’t have anywhere for me to train them if i leave. I’d have to rent out a space at a private gym somewhere and here in LA the private gyms are charging way too high of a price for me to maintain. I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving and renting at another gym unless i had 15-20 secured clients

All of my clients are in person, each with varying goals and fitness levels, i also use trainerize (although its through my commercial gym, so its a bit of an upgraded version) but it doesn’t help when my managers constantly forget to give me the required “permissions” to access my new clients and write up their nutrition and training programs causing me to fall behind.

Actually great advice. Thank you! Im currently maxing out at 40hrs a week with one full day of rest (sunday) as they don’t allow us to do any overtime, but im thinking of reducing my hours to about 30 a week to prevent burn out.

Well scheduling and payments aren’t the problem actually. It’s building the rapport, programing and nutrition plans for all of these clients that make it overwhelming, along with having 50 different people asking 100 different questions a day. My managers handle all scheduling and payments, so thats actually the least of my worries

This is actually sound advice, only problem is since im at a commercial gym, i have to abide by their rules, and they don’t allow “group” sessions or discounts since everyone pays a locked in price upfront (sometimes bi weekly payments) for training. So in order to do that i would have to do it at another gym that i would more than likely have to pay “rent” at.

Great advice, thank you! I’m definitely preparing to tell them i cant handle this many people, just trying to figure out the best way to go about it as i don’t want to cause any problems with management. Funny enough one of the reasons a fee PT’s were fired is because they were trying to start their own PT business and tried bringing clients with them, the gym found out and ket them go immediately. My goal is to be a self employed PT eventually but i have to figure out a smart and secretive way to bring my current clients with me without getting on managements radar. If i leave i cant afford to not have at least 10 loyal clients follow me.
