Where do you train your clients?

Hello all I'm just bored browsing. Wondering where you guys train. I have my own private gym but sometimes I train at the fitness center or at the clients house. I even train outside by the playground with cleints who have kids.

Trained at a commercial gym. Didn't like the rates and babysitting. Then trained at a personal training studio and got raped with paying an overhead. So I created my own place. Now I have five trainers and myself under a 2000 square foot facility. Looking to expand to 3600 by next spring.

I do home personal training, it's dead easy and quite a few clients don't like to work out in a gym. Obv I don't do many hypertrophy guys but that's not where the money is anyways

Couldnt agree with the terms of any gym in town, Im kind of a rebel! Sooo, I put my own place together in my garage.

I like to mix it up, I try and train most my clients outdoors but when i have to i use a local gym

Depending on what my clients want and where we are in their training, Ill take them to one of the parks in town. There is a soccer field there with nice grassy banks around it for drills. The park also has some killer hills for sprinting. Thats really the only other place I would take the people I work with.

I train out of my home studio, I don't like the pushy gym sales at most big name gym's best thing I ever did was get my own set up!

Looks like a nice setup, just about anything you really need.

I'll be starting to train people in a local indoor baseball facility. I'm finally heading out on my own in the next few months.

Those are 3 rooms of my first facility. I love the set up and it's treated me really well over the past 3 years.

I like your place, I live in Northern MN so I cant do too much outside training. I have work in a gym that has a 35x35 room blocked off for trainers to have classes and work with their clients. I have kettlebells sizes 10 lbs-65 lbs in there, barbells I can take from the gym, two sets of massive ropes, two trx bands a heavy bag and speed bag, some yoga matts a weight sled a pull up bar and a few weight vests.
I have everything I need in there at the moment but the gym owner is going to expand out and the size of my little room and then get double the equipment. That will work out well, but I am not his employee independent and pay him 15% of my profit. Eventually I will expand out and get my own place. I like the looks of everyones place though

Yes, this is totally the way to go. We have a Trainer's Gym in San Diego that's all about the trainers and building clientele with great service: San Diego Fitness 3000 sq ft and growing. Chain gyms just don't get it. Way to go!
