image_2.jpeg

1. Always be professional. Be there when you said you would be there, make sure your appearance and hygiene are impeccable. Make sure the client is the focus of your attention the whole time you are with them. Always give 100% !!

2. Make sure that everyone knows that you do a great job…

3. When you start with a new client….always get as many baseline “before” measurements as possible. Take circumference measurements, weight, skinfold measurements, and PHOTOS!

4. Then, track and record your client’s progress as they make their journey towards achieving their goals. Make regular re-appraisals, take progress measurements and continue to take lots of photos.

Are you looking for more information on personal training courses?

Are you finding it difficult getting all the answers you want?

There's so much conflicting information out there it's difficult to know where to start!

So… to make your life easier I've put together a quick blog on the 7 Tips To Avoid When Choosing a Personal Trainer Courseand added a little information on what EPTI have to offer.

Use these 7 inside tips to guide you on finding the best Personal Training course for your requirements and to make an informed buying decision when you choose your course.

 

#1 “Empty” sales talk:

Okay, so you speak to a salesperson of “Corporate PT Training Company” on the telephone and they instantly promise you that if you take their certification, they will “guarantee” you an interview with “such and such health club” when you graduate.

What are they actually giving you here?

Lets look at this guarantee more closely…….

You’ve done all the hard work, you studied, passed the theory and practical assessments and gained a level 3 REPS/CIMSPA approved certification.

If a gym/ health club has vacancies, why wouldn’t you get an interview for a job that you are qualified to do? – you hold THE industry standard qualification! Certificates on their own don’t get you jobs… You do!

Our argument at EPTI is it’s all very well being given a guarantee to attend an interview, but we want you to nail that interview!

How do you do this?

Well, actually being prepared to become an effective personal trainer might be a good start. We concentrate on training people to be the best personal trainers, so that you can demonstrate your skills and knowledge during any interview.

Keep reading the points below to see how we do this….

On another point, because EPTI is not a huge corporate PT training machine, we open your eyes to the many possibilities available to a modern day PT and the methods to manage your own successful PT business.

Our PT Diploma courses include business acumen modules, that gives our graduates ALL the necessary tools to choose whatever career path suits them best.

4 Key Details You Should Expect From Your Personal Training Course

Accreditation

personal trainer

Helping more clients get results = more money

In terms of being able to qualify and set up as a personal trainer, find work in a gym and get public liability insurance – you must study on an accredited training course. That is to say, if you are in the UK or are based in Europe, a course that is approved by REPS or eREPS and qualifies you to register at level 3.

However, fitness certifications on their own do NOT help you earn money as a PT – results with your clients do!

This is a results business, so if you’re overly shy, don’t get on well with people then all of the certifications and offers of guaranteed interviews in the world won’t make you a successful PT. The fitness industry is a PERSONALITY industry.

Want To Quit Your Day Job?

Isn’t it time to take responsibility for your life and happiness? You have a choice……

Make it your goal and become a success

“SUCCESS IS GOALS!”

carolineOver the years I’ve been on numerous courses and workshops to do with things like Personal Excellence, Business Growth, Exemplary Customer Service etc….and I’ve read lots of books on positive thinking – how to get the best from yourself – think Big – get Rich – ( you get the gist!) And the one thing that kept coming up in every area, was the importance of having goals.

Goals get you from where you are now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to where you want to be.

They’re like a map, they get us from A to B with the most efficiency. Without a map we get lost, we waste time and we go round in circles.

We’re used to goals in the fitness industry. We set goals with our clients. Hopefully, we set goals for ourselves too.

Grow Your Fitness Business With Networking
