Training Tips

If you run your personal training business on PTminder , there’s a date you’ll want in your calendar: December 31, 2027. That’s when PT minder is being deprecated, which means your bookings, packages, client records and payments all need a new home before then. A little over a year sounds like plenty of time. It...

Setting up personal training packages is one of the most important things you can do for your fitness business. A well-structured package makes it easier for clients to say yes, keeps your income predictable and saves you from having to chase individual payments every week. The good news is it does not have to be...

Building workout programs from scratch for every single client is one of the most time-consuming things a personal trainer can do. When you have five clients it is manageable. When you have twenty, thirty, or fifty, the hours stack up fast and something starts to give, usually either your quality or your sanity, (or both!)....

Managing clients online is one of the most valuable skills a personal trainer can develop. Whether you’re coaching five clients or fifty, having a clear system for delivering programs, tracking progress, communicating and getting paid makes the difference between a business that runs smoothly and one that keeps you up at night. This guide covers...

If you’ve been coaching online for any length of time, you have probably had a spreadsheet phase. A tab for each client, one for check-ins, another for nutrition, maybe a mastersheet pulling everything together. It works, until it doesn’t. And when it stops working, it usually does so at the worst possible moment. The good...
