O/T Got my NCSF, now what? Personal training advice?

[Fullybuilt]

I just got my NCSF(www.ncsf.org) which is an average universal personal training certificate. Anyway, my ? is what now? Im not expecting huge $$ since im only 22 and just starting but I want to start training full time. The only advice I got from some other personal trainers was to pick a gym and build clients. I know I should pick a good gym in a wealthy area like an L.A. Fitness or Frogs, but do any of you have any other advice for me. Thanks

..

get some nice cards made up for like 30 or 50 bucks...

carry them with you atall times and hand them to anyone applicable..


dont limite yourself...meaning, try not to train in one gymand offer in home serivces...

also offer other ways to increase revenue...

like:
talk to superior 1.... maybe if you make a nice list of supplements to sell to your cliens a nice guy like sup1 will knock 5 bucks or some shit off the supps so you can have a small margin.. or maybe where you train you can have q large margin... i dont know...

offer diet plans, sell equipment... offer any related service to increase your revenue.. there are plenty of womens diet stores that offer pre-made food.. make an arrangement with them that if you get clients to buy food you get a %...

there are an unlimited amt of things to do to generate revenue..

when you see someone talking shit about fitness offer your advice and your card/...


offer an early morning bootcamp to lose weight where people will actually pay loads of money to meet you at like 5:30am in a group for a calastenics type workout where you just fukin yell at them to do more situps or running or whatever...

offer weight loss or sports specific training for kids....or college athletes...

Best thing to do is personal train someone at their home if your trying to make some cash or if you have a your on studio/workout center where you can be one on one with a person. Personal training is hard work good luck!!!

Depending on where you live and how the gyms are you can set something up with them. Go in and talk with them about coming in and training your clients at there place and they may give them a discounted rate as you bring in members or give you a percentage. Alot of places at least where I live will work with ya on that.
