Several "personal trainers" here in Seattle have ads on Adam4adam.com. You can find them under the Pros section of the website.

Do you know the city that is the most affluent? Thanks

It would be a toss up between Seattle and Bellevue. Depends on the type of rich clients you are looking for

Assuming you're any good and you're certified in more than one industry leading group...

Glom onto a gym in some PT job, tell everyone how they're not doing it right, and then steal a bunch of clients from your hosting gym and leave.

Also: post flyers on community boards and telephone poles. Get yourself reviewed on Yelp and pay extra for the premium account. Give your first few clients 'x' free months for referring 'y' number of clients to you.

That's how it's done.

There are maps of that sort of thing (property tax base maps, voter tendancy maps, etc) on the internets available for free. I don't often look that sort of thing up, but just use Search-Fu when I need 'em.

Steal clients from a gym and it's lawsuit central. l suspect any gym worth its salt includes a private contracting clause preventing an employee from working with a client outside the gym. Bad, bad idea.

Technique is crucial.
Make sure that the initial consultation is fun for all or both involved.
Maybe, turning a client into the trainer or vice versa by paying for a 3 month membership would be the "faith based" answer regretablly.

How would "turning a client into the trainer" be either professional or helpful?

freikja commented about 1 year ago | Report

because the motivation is based on each person

That has nothing to do with it. Turning the client into the trainer completely bypasses the whole point of the client *needing* a trainer themselves. lt also implies a poor work ethic, not to mention a thoroughly confusing one.

l have no idea what you mean by the rest of that sentence - who is paying? What do you mean by ""faith based" answer"? Why is it regrettable? lt makes no sense.
