Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer Vol. 2. NEW RELEASELearn how to make serious money as a personal trainer. It doesn't require working yourself to death. I'm sharing exactly how I make $500 in just two hours and how you can build multiple revenue streams to reach a six-figure income while maintaining work-life balance.Most trainers struggle because they're caught in a devastating mathematical trap: charging $50/session means you'd need 200 sessions monthly to earn $120,000 annually—physically impossible without burnout. After 20 years in the industry, I've learned that sustainability comes from premium pricing. By commanding $200-350 per session (which took time and strategic career development), I can generate $10,000 monthly from just two daily sessions with high-end clients who come through my carefully cultivated network of medical professionals.The secret isn't just charging more—it's creating multiple income streams. Separate your nutrition coaching from training packages ($250/month per client adds up fast). Develop referral partnerships with physical therapists and doctors. Create certification programs, write books, speak at events, and mentor other trainers. Each stream compounds your income while reducing physical training hours. Success requires mastering technical skills (anatomy, programming), people skills (communication, motivation), and business skills (sales, marketing)—all areas where textbook certifications fall drastically short.Ready to transform your training business? Get my book "How to Become a Successful Personal Trainer" to learn what took me decades to figure out. Stop limiting yourself with self-defeating thoughts about what you're worth, and start building the confidence to charge what creates a sustainable, rewarding career.
