Colleges, high schools, high class hotels usually all have websites to look at. Actually, nearly everything listed has sites. There's a glass plant here that has their own gym. Employees only.

Play your cards right and/or build up a reputation and get a foot in the door with big name people. If you get results celebrities and such will pay big $$$ for you. Hell, you could end up with one client and make more than 99% of trainers. They might even get you to travel the world with them.

Good luck with that though

Strangely enough I had that offer once, but was pretty sure I'd end up doing stuff or knowing stuff that I didn't want to. Turned it down.
Seemed too good to be true. Plus it was in Europe. I don't speak good English much less something else. lol

True. I still talk to him once in a great while. Just don't want to get too close. Pretty sure ethics would come into play somewhere..

I do online training. I don't do video stuff since my clients have gym memberships.

I do all that if needed. I have charts etc if they need them.
