Not sure. Don't know much about them.

I have been an avid follower of this board over the past few months and I have seen a number of threads in relation to the subject of personal trainer marketing. Many have asked the best way to gain...

Been using these for a few of my clients. Wondering your thoughts on them? I think they work well and the range of motion is beneficial.

Change up the routine every 3-4 weeks. Complete transformation. No point in keeping someone going on muscle memory and headed towards a plateau. During the course of the 3-4 week program I also...

One goal at a time. One pound at a time. One day at a time.

I would also recommend gaining a "mentor" of sorts with a PT you can cultivate a relationship with. The worst thing you can do is wall yourself off. Be a sponge, learn from people who have been...

Going to have to lift heavy, low reps. Diet is going to be a HUGE part of this. Not sure your body type but 20 pounds is aggressive for 2 months. One thing you need to do is make sure your consuming...

I think you have to draw up a meal plan for him, that's just as important as your workout plan.

If he doesn't follow, he doesn't follow, but at least you've given him something to go on.

Maybe he was trying to say "market" yourself????

Not a bad idea. The problem is that most of these hotels have their own gyms with their own trainers. You might want to go into one some afternoon and speak to the concierge. Bring your business...

This website(bb.com) actually has workouts that you can download.

It was suggested to me by a client this week. Not so sure how I feel about it as there are fees and set up costs involved. I've never had a problem with a check bouncing so I think this might be a...

There is definitely no law; just rules of the gym. Some gyms are more friendly to outside trainers then others. Rarely will you find that you are able to go into a chain gym, 24 Hour Fitness for...

Agree as well. Best to use TRX as a supplement to a workout routine. Most people don't have the equipment readily available so you don't want to put them on a routine consisting entirely of TRX...

Yeah, you need to get into a serious physical therapy program. If you're in school your atheltic trainer should be able to help and if not you should go outside to a therapist that your doctor...

I can say from personal experience that winter boot camps are tough. You will find a precipitous drop in attendance from your summer camps. People just don't want to come out at 6am when it's 37...

Offer a free session. That will get people's attention. Then if you're good, your marketing will spread virally(word of mouth).

I have found that offering one free session, even two, is the best...

Well said.

Interesting question. Never had to deal with that in the past, but I would handle it by saying one of the following:

1. That's why she's dating me. Check back in 2 months.
2. We broke up.
3. I...

For the 9 year old I would focus heavily on body weight exercises. Push ups, body weight squats, pull ups(if he can do them), lunges, even some plyos. While I agree that the notion that working out...
