Navigating the Generalist Maze
Starting your fitness journey as a generalist seems like a logical choice.
Working with a diverse clientele spanning age groups, fitness levels, and goals provides a good breadth of experience.
However, it often leads to frustration as you become just another personal trainer in a crowded personal trainer market.
The Danger?
Clients start viewing you as a commodity, reducing your services to a mere price point.
The Transformation Through Specialisation
In the early stages of my personal trainer career, I found myself in this exact situation—selling traditional blocks of 10 sessions and constantly re-selling them every few weeks.
The turning point came when I decided to specialise, homing in on a specific niche—weight loss. Yes, uncertainties loomed:
• Can I attract the clients I genuinely want to work with?
• Is it possible to charge higher fees than generalists?
• Will I miss out on other potential clients?
• What if it doesn't work?
These are all fears which will evaporate when you learn the necessary business skills essential to your success
Unveiling Essential Business Skills
While specialisation is the initial step, achieving financial success as a personal trainer demands mastery of crucial business skills:
1. Writing Skills: Master the art of conveying your expertise through social media, compelling video scripts, and an engaging website. Transform your knowledge into content that captivates and educates.
2. Speaking: Elevate your spoken communication. Develop the ability to translate your written content into compelling verbal presentations, captivating your audience.
3. Marketing: Overcome the fear of marketing. Learn strategic approaches to attract individuals to your services, strategically positioning yourself as the go-to expert personal trainer.
4. Sales: Shift your mindset around sales. Become a consultant rather than a seller, addressing potential clients' questions and concerns with authenticity and expertise.
5. The Glue: Your specialist program and unique personality form the glue that separates you from the pack of other personal trainers. These distinctive elements make you irreplaceable in the eyes of your potential clients.
