Chapter 20 NASM study guide
Provide great customer service:
As a personal trainer, you should never take your clients for granted and never see them as an interruption. Although your clients’ questions may seem repetitive, giving off a bad impression is the worst thing you can do. Your clients are the ones paying the bills and need to be the priority at all times. Creating a great first impression and using proper body language and vocal tone are essential. If there is a complaint about your attitude or training, you need to own this and fix this.
Different places to work as a trainer
Commercial fitness clubs: One of the benefits of working at a commercial gym is that the salesman provides lots of opportunities for clients. Typically you will find pay rate structures, world-class equipment, and in-house training. Some of the cons include lower pay and no control over marketing or sales.
Independent contractors: Some of the advantages include – you may be able to control your schedule, you may be able to control marketing and sales, and there are no overhead costs for equipment, rent, etc. The cons are – probably no employment benefits, personal marketing for your business may not be allowed, and the club will take a percentage of your sessions.
Owning your own facility: This can be very financially beneficial, with very targeted marketing and networking, appealing to personalized clients. Some of the cons are – You are completely responsible for all of the overhead, including your equipment and rent for space.
