The Ugly Truth About Being a Personal Trainer

Описание: In this video, I break down seven uncomfortable realities of being a personal trainer that most courses and certifications gloss over. These aren’t opinions pulled from a textbook; they’re lessons shaped by more than 15 years on the gym floor, in clients’ homes, running my own studio, managing staff, and later transitioning online.

This video is for personal trainers who feel technically confident but frustrated with the business side. If you’re great at helping clients train but struggle with inconsistent income, cancellations, long hours, or awkward sales conversations, you’ll recognize a lot of what’s covered here. These are the issues that quietly burn people out and push good trainers out of the industry.

Everything shared comes from trial, error, and real consequences: lost income, wasted time, and eventually learning what actually works in practice. There’s no theory here, and no pretending the job is always glamorous. The goal is to show how each “ugly” part of personal training can be handled in a way that’s realistic, ethical, and sustainable.

👉 By watching this video, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Attract clients without chasing every marketing trend or forcing tactics that don’t suit you
✅ Simplify programming by solving one clear problem for one clear type of client
✅ Sell confidently by acting as a consultant instead of a salesperson
✅ Protect your income with clear boundaries and terms that clients respect
✅ Reduce rejection and wasted consultations by pre-qualifying properly

This isn’t about shortcuts or overnight success. It’s about building a personal training business that doesn’t exhaust you or rely on luck. If you’ve experienced any of these challenges yourself, feel free to share what you’ve struggled with or what’s worked for you. Those real conversations are where the best learning usually happens.
