Hey guys i just started training a few weeks ago but im not getting to many clients.

How do some of you successful trainers get more clients?

(i train at 24 hour fitness)

The way i used to do it when i worked for ballys is just talk to people. Get to know the members. Once you get to know them they will be more comfortable buying stuff from you. Body fat testing is a good way to pick up clients as well. You have to be creative. Another great way is to just walk around the weight room and help people out. If you see someone doing something wrong, Correct them. Show them the proper way to do the exercise then try to set appointment with them. I hated prospecting for clients, Even though i was pretty good at it. This is why i train privately now. Good luck

some people should be bothered when they are working out. especially if they are doing somthing completly wrong...like doing a lat pulldown all the way down to their bellybutton....i see it everyday. good luck

try to offer something for free first. people love free. pick a time when the aerobics room isnt being used and set up a nutrition class or just a q&a session. it will be a great way to meet members in the gym. once youve met someone its much easier to talk to them no matter what theyre doing without being annyoing. everytime someone signs up ask if they would like a walk through and a sample routine to get them started. once people feel like you not trying to sell them on anything thats when you can sell them. you need to become the guy at the gym that everyone wants to be friends with. just remember the cardinal rule of sales. PEOPLE ONLY BUY FROM SOMEONE THE LIKE AND TRUST.

Exactly my point. Usually i would intervene when i saw someone doing something that might cause harm or injury. Ninety percent of people in your basic run of the mill health club have no idea how to do exercises properly. Especially when it comes to free weight. So when you show them the right way, And they feel the exercise actually work they are amazed. This gives you your oppurtunity to set a appointment with them, And possibly sign them up for training
