Avoid the Personal Training Summer Slowdown: 3 Things To Do Now

Let\’s face it, summer can be tough on personal trainers.  Lots of clients take time off for various reasons such as travelling, they want to exercise outside alone, or they move out of the city for the summer.

That can result in a few thousand dollars less in your pocket.

Well, don\’t accept it!

Seize the opportunity to create new business. Here are three possibilities:


Student or teacher rates:
Teachers and students are off for the summer.  And let\’s face it, generally this group does not have expendable cash. But they do have time!  Create an affordable summer rate structure that they can take advantage of until it\’s time to go back to school. That\’s when your regular clients will return.  A win-win for everyone!

Lots of busineses offer them discounts year round.  Here\’s your chance, too.


Summer rates for new clients:
 Again, some people have a little extra time in the summer and want to achieve some healthy goals.  \”Take a little off the top\” for the summer.  Offer 15-20% off.  Be clear it\’s for the summer when starting.  They\’ll be someone who may stay on in the fall at regular rates or a fill-in client when a regular client cancels.  Again, win-win!

 

Small Group training trials outdoors: Sometimes your work is marketing.  Set up a small group training series outdoors in the park for a small fee ($5-$10?).  Spin it as all fees go to charity (yes, give it to the charity).  Put flyers in local buildings and stores, social media, etc.  Encourage clients to come and bring a friend.  It\’s all about new lead generation!

Here is another great option: Set up your own NeighborhoodTrainer profile to have new clients find you!  Yes, there is a summer promotion 🙂

Do you have another idea?  Let us know.

Good luck!

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
