How many different mediums would you suggest using? The more the better but what would you say is the minimum to build relationship and display your value? For example: gym floor, email, facebook, instagram, posters etc What are some other ways of delivering content on social media? I've been doing 45-60s talking to camera reels and carousels but feel the need to mix things up delivery wise How would you best keep track of clients current wants, needs, goals and all these individual elements if you tend to be a little bit forgetful?! If you were to start social media again, would there be anything you would do differently and what 3 things do you think helps with coming across as yourself and not a persona. I am taking too long to do things - it takes hours rather than minutes. I also go into way too much detail and struggle to keep things simple. I think more is better. I also talk too much. How can I reframe my thoughts into thinking less is better? Client goes on holiday and misses 1, maybe 2, sessions. You have them on a monthly DD, not block booking. Do you pick up their missed sessions or do they forfeit them and how do you approach that conversation if it's not been clear in your T&C's. How do you stay focused when there are more distractions than usual (school holidays, relationship stress etc)

I have a competition winner, who's coming to the end of her 3 month prize coaching period.

How to approach things?Time; 8:30
What do I do when I know I should be doing something, but I don't know what. I sometimes feel guilty for taking time away from my business because it's not where I need to to be.

I love automating the business as much as possible but sometimes I feel like I'm missing that personal touch in the initial interactions when a new lead comes into the business, especially if cold. Have you come across any automations that can bring in the more personal element? I'm thinking in particular voice messaging - a simple hello via whatsapp when someone comes in as a new lead in mailchimp. Or a video in mailchimp.

I worry a bit about my weekly 1:1 online client check in feedback videos (loom recordings).I think I go on too much, 10 to 20 mins sometimes.

Do you know of any 'all in one' platforms for calendars, landing pages, email lists etc? Or do these tend to be big CRM type platforms aimed at larger companies? What are the main factors to consider before switching target market? If you had to go back to coaching fitness clients again, what would be your demographic/niche and why? What percentage of your time should be spent thinking about the bigger picture? Over for example, the day to day in person business work. I feel like I'm pretty on top of my week to week organization. I prioritize my tasks, plan things out, and book time into my schedule to get things done.However I struggle to find time for the less frequent, monthly tasks. I always end up doing them on my days off.Any advice? Or is it just a case of planning them into my week better/that's how it's gonna be? Running a 'one-off' session such as 'squat workshop' - Upsell to clients or give it as a freebie / perk of the service? On average how long does it take for a business to start making a stable income? How far in advance to you plan your social posts/emails ? What are the common mistakes from coached who struggle to generate organic leads and how can they overcome these struggles ? Checklist to determine if I need to change anything with my client's programming - they are happy, they are progressing, they are learning new skills, they get opportunity to input into the program. I always take a beat and schedule time in to plan the next block but more often than not I come to the conclusion that it isn't broken and I'll introduce a new exercise/ switch up the conditioning/ core just to keep it fresh but otherwise it is broadly the same. Am I just being a lazy arse or efficient/ effective? 3-5 things to consider/ do if getting online clients is the main goal? At what point (if ever) does it become the 'client's fault' for not reaching the goals they wanted?Just had a client leave who's been with me a while and didn't get what she wanted. I've tried to accommodate and support her in every which way, but she was never able to action the steps we discussed for outside of the gym - even after making endless adjustments and have her lead the change. If you could only write one email a week as a PT, what would it include?

I really struggle with getting a lead magnet out there before I'm 100% perfectly happy with it - it's just not in my nature! I everything to work how I want it to and don't want it to look/feel crappy and rushed, but I do want it to actually get done. Any advice? I seem to be struggling to talk confidently about my service when I need to fill a space. Even though I have fab feedback from clients and know how I can help. What the fuck is that all about? I have/had a client who finished their month of coaching, said they are going to sign back up, sent their check in the next day (by this point they were no longer on a program). Never mentioned the £ so when I brought it up they ignored, sent a chaser next day, they replied saying they would send the next day and they had "personal" things going on.No Money sent and this was now Wednesday, I replied Thursday saying I hope everything was ok and didn;t mention the money so they didn't think thats all I care about as its not. Come today (Friday) I chased again as I have a new client who is looking for the slot this other client has on Saturday. Do I chase again or send a message advising that I have had to give their slot to someone else and if they want to continue to message me on Instagram and then remove them from Trainerize? What do you think of AI and the impact it may have on the industry in the future? Favourite pancake topping? I've got plenty of ideas for client resources which I think are specific to my demographic and solve common problems, but how do you know where to draw the line so it's not overwhelming and i'm not throwing the kitchen sink at them? What are the top things to have in place if you want to start and push online coaching in the near future. At a stage where I am full for in person and want to push Online soon.

ve got a client who moans A LOT during sessions anytime I try to increase the weight for her. It sucks the life out of me I can't lie 😂. Despite the constant moaning and looking like she doesn't want to be there, she'll put in her check-in that shes proud of lifting heavier weights - almost every week. Her goal is weight gain and I've explained why we increase the weights etc - but do you have any advice on how to handle clients like this and help them become less moany....Time; 7:41
When creating a process for scheduling social media content, how do you cohesively plan content so that it aligns with your content pillar for that day (person, objection etc), the phase of marketing for the week (awareness, desire, etc), use a variety of mediums (reel, carousel, etc), and have it tie in with a lead magnets or offers? - Hope that makes sense, ahahaTime; 11:09

A while back there was an email about being a PT back in the year 2000? Back then there weren't any social media like today but, PT's still ran their businesses.

I found this very inspiring!Time; 22:39
I offer a small group coaching not just training service, that is as much if not more focused on what happens outside the gym. Other SGPT in the area is just training focused - this makes me appear pricey in comparison. I'm tempted to call this out, not calling out other specific businesses, but how the training will only get you so far and probably not where you want to be (especially for the women I want to work with).

I've got a consultation next week with someone who fits my demographic, but I think my new price might be an issue for them.

I'm really trying to be a client-centred coach and ask as many (admittedly leading) questions as possible to help guide clients to solving their own problems.
Even though I feel like this is the best way to coach people, sometimes it feels like I'm not really helping people solve their problems in that moment
For example, I had a call with a client this week who struggles mentally to find the energy to get out of bed. We went in on her values as well as the barriers and challenges she's facing
I asked loads of questions to try and understand her better, but after the call I felt like I hadn't really helped her all the much, because we didn't really come up with anything actionable to try and change those habits

One has signed up to a free taster session for my SGPT - which they will never sign up to - taking a spot that could have been used by a genuine potential client. I can't kick them off the taster session but in the future I'm thinking I will leave them off any taster session invites so that a space isn't wasted. Short-sighted or realistic?Time; 34:18
