Working as a PT at a gym, most common clients?

[just.push.it123]

Hey guys,

Just about to be a qualified pt and was just curious what are the most common type of clients that come into the gym?(a council).
To my knowledge it just seems like people want to loose body fat, gain a little strength and look better?

is and always will be lose weight. are country is getting bigger every year. pull up and obese map over the years. its sad. i would these are the top 3. I think everyone should have niche in at least 1 of these 3. If you are. Then you are more marketable to a bigger part of the population.

1. lose weight (men, mostly women)
2. overall health (baby boomers) (aging population)
3. gain muscle (men wanting to look better, some women)

The person who usually hires personal trainers are women over the age of 40 who are beginners.

That really depends on where you live. I don't discuss politics but most of my clients are left wing.

Politically leftist clients always make better clients since they actually care about the well being of their trainer. For instance, one client of mine who had to miss an appointment still showed up anyways since she had a few minutes only to sign in to make sure I got paid. A republican client will always complain about prices and think she's entitled to free sessions.

Conservatism and arrogance tend to go hand in hand since politically conservative people by their very nature cherish selfishness and look down on others.

sounds like you have good clients. What you have said here is very true about right wing and left wing clients. republicans in general are scum

Depends on where you work my man. Different cities are different and even different parts of a city will have different clientele. For example I used to train in Memphis where most of my clients were unhealthy and just wanted to get in shape for life, now I work in Los Angeles where muscle gain and looks are more emphasized as a overall goal. Every place and even every gym is different.
That being said your highest percentage of clients will probably be concerned with weight loss. I would suggest that you find a niche of people you like to work with and market yourself that way, but also be open for whatever clients you can get until you are established.
Good luck!
