How to Get Personal Training Clients

There are many ways to obtain more personal training clients; here is a summary of the main sources.

Directory listing: Personal training directories such as www.personaltrainermap.com provide a unique way for personal trainers to advertise to a wide or local area for new clients.  Personal training directories allow trainers to display all there qualifications, background and experience on a webpage, new clients can then search the website for a trainer near them and browse the selection to find a personal trainer to suit them.

Referrals: Helping your current personal training clients to achieve their goals will give you a lot more new clients, because their friends will see their results and want you to be their personal trainer too to help them reach their goals.

Leafleting: Door to door leafleting is another method of acquiring new personal training clients.  Personal trainers can drop leaflets through doors containing information about themselves, services and any special personal training offers they have going on.  Leafleting allow a personal trainer to target a specific localised area to get new personal training clients.

Telephone Directories: Personal trainers can advertise in local telephone directories, like leafleting it allows personal trainers to target specific areas that they are able to cover.  Make sure you take out at least a quarter page add for your personal training company to make sure it stands out from the other personal trainers in the telephone directory.

Gyms: If you are a personal trainer at a gym, why not try walking round the gym and telling the members about your personal training services.  You will find that members will come up to you to ask your advice, this is a great opportunity to tell them you are a personal trainer and see if they want any training.

Social Networking Sites: Personal trainers should sign up to a social networking site to advertise their services to their friends and family. Get your friends to tell their friends that you are a personal trainer on their status to help spread the word of your personal training business.
