Im looking for clients (Serious ones please)

[Actual Size]

I'm looking to be a personal trainer so I need to find some guinea pigs. But in all serious manner though; I will train you for no fee. I want to take on at least 5 clients. I will tell you something about myself. I started lifting about 5 years ago. I, however, received a back injury and then fell of the wagon. I gained a lot of weight. I, however, over the last 2 years have lost about 105lbs. I have gained a lot of muscle. I also have a minor in nutrition from Purdue. I have acheived 410lbs deadlift and 340 lb squat. My bench is harder because I'm 6'2. If you're serious I will send you some pictures of my transformation. I also had an article in the newspaper from all my weight loss. I know a lot about how to get stronger, lose body fat, and gain muscle. I have trained under some of the best lifters out there: Iron Addict, John Pinder; who now runs Iron Addicts.com, Kelly Bagget, and others. You may terminate my services anytime you want. No money charged to you, I will even give you my number and we can talk or text. I am serious about assisting anyone in their goals with weight loss. I will set you up with a routine, diet, and anything else you require. If anyone is willing and serious to do this please private message me.

How can anyone value your time if you don't value it?

Also, why does your sig say you're 5'11?

You can spot me. I live in TX, how often can you fly down to train me?

Probably the wrong section to post this. This section is mostly trainers talking to other trainers about things lol but good luck!

Yeah, you're definantely in the wrong section. I like your ambition but more than likely it is going to backfire on you. Most of the people who are serious about getting into shape will probably hire a trainer that can train them face to face. More than likely most of the people who will take you up on this are the "hey its free so why not" type of people but good luck.

Alright, I'll try to add something constructive. Your writing = not so great. It's hard to find clients if you don't write good sales copy. You might want to pick up a book on it. I would not talk about your exact lifts as most clients don't get it and don't care what YOU can do. They care about what you can do for THEM. You also don't want to highlight your own weaknesses by omitting your bench "because I'm 6'2". As a trainer you should set an example of never having excuses and being 6'2 is a pretty weak excuse for having a weak bench. If your numbers aren't mind blowing or applicable to your target market I wouldn't bother. Start by emphasizing who you've worked for/with and your experience as a trainer. The part about your weight loss is good, however, so you can keep that.

As others have said, you're in the wrong section. But finding online clients to build a base is not the best way to go about it. Are you certed? If so, try to find a local gym that will take you on, even if it's commission only (you only make money when you sell sessions). Take that opportunity to learn. OR find a successful personal trainer who will hire you on as an assistant and hopefully eventually let you sub in for them or maybe take over some of their clients. I've hired trainers before doing this and always liked new trainers because they are malleable and can be taught, as opposed to experienced trainers who are already set in their ways.

Basically try this. Get certed (if you aren't already). Get a gym job or work under a trainer until you can take on some clients of your own. Rack up some success stories, before and afters and testimonials from successful clients. Go out on your own with a solid resume and good copy writing skills and build a private training business. Succeed.
