In Home Personal Training | Was It Worth It? | My Story

- What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today we'll be discussing in-home personal training!
Unlike most of our videos, this video will mostly cover my personal experience working as an in-home personal trainer. I worked as an in-home personal trainer, or a personal trainer who trains clients in their own homes for about 5 years. It was simultaneously one of the most rewarding but also challenging things I've done. It's really what allowed me to take my training career to the next level. In fact, my very first video here on RUclips was an in-home training session.
In addition to discussing my own personal story when it comes to in-home training we'll also discuss whether I thought in-home training was a worthwhile endeavor. Is in-home personal training worth doing going forward? That's something we'll also talk about.
Thanks for everything guys! I appreciate all of you! If you'd like to help the channel don't forget to like and subscribe!

Thanks for your story. I am starting my own business and I am doing Inhome personal training right now. Once I get the money saved up I am going to sub lease study space to do group training.
Great Video. 👍🏾
Thanks for your kind words! Good luck on your journey!
I’ve been doing in home training for almost a year. Really have enjoyed it, it’s given me my start for sure and I’m so grateful for my clients but definitely ready to move on to a studio.
Glad you’ve enjoyed it and it’s given you a great starting point!
In-home training has been PHENOMENAL for me. I got started while I was working at LA Fitness as a Master Trainer and left just last week to pursue it full time! I even got in contact with a luxury real estate agent in my city in order to get some referrals. Now a I'm looking at the busiest chiropractic office in town to do the same.
How do you protect yourself from sexual harassment or from false accusations? I’m sure the vast majority of clients would never be a problem but in this day and age it only takes one bad apple to potentially ruin someone’s career or even land them in jail
That’s a good question! I do have insurance with up to 2 million dollars in coverage. It’s only a few hundred dollars a year. Hopefully I never have to use it!
Thanks for sharing your journey. It's educative and rich.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I am in Canada Welland Ontario. I have tried almost every thing to get the first client for mobile training. I did Google ads and door to door flyer distribution but could not get it. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON IT how to get your first mobile clients
Have you joined a chamber of commerce or other local networking group? Is there a Facebook group for the area where you’re trying to work? Can you promote your services to local businesses?
omg how did you not burn out with that schedule
I definitely have gone through periods of burnout in my career. I’m busier now than I was then though. It’s tough to find a balance with training. Liking what you do definitely helps though.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Wow I give you lots of credit! Training can be exhausting, but it is definitely worth it!
Hey Jeff, thanks for the educational videos, they are really helping to give me ideas. So my goal is to start in home training to supplement my training in a commercial gym to make more money and start my business (my long term goal is to own my own gym). My question is do you need a business license to start mobile training? I live in New York state, I haven't really gotten an answer through my research. I'm not sure what I should start working on to begin this process. Any thoughts you have are greatly appreciated.
While you don’t technically need it, I would recommend having an LLC as well as insurance to protect yourself and your assets.
This is inspiring. It sounds like I'm on the right track (though you did tip me off to work on my new site's SEO, and to keyword in home training). It also makes me not feel so bad for feeling lost and restless at the lack of inquiries so far. I'm going to find a facility to work in to get some cash flow going, but my dream really is to build my own business.
Question!: Any tips on how to handle travel fees? What is a reasonable method?
So glad you found the video helpful! It sounds like you’re on the right track. In regards to travel fees, assess how many miles, how much gas, how long it takes you to get there/to another session. Ultimately what matters is how many sessions you can do a day based on how much you need to travel. You could either build a flat travel fee in your price and explain it to clients that way or tack it on in addition to your regular fee.
Do you have an Amazon Link for an adjustable folding weightbench? One that can be folded and put away after use in a smaller apartment?
We actually use this one in our studio! It's not super big and very light. amzn.to/3OJF78s
Thanks! I'm thinking about this now
I’m glad you found it helpful!
I am considering to do start doing in home training. Thanks for much for this content. I love your videos! Keep doing great videos for us!
Thank you! I really appreciate that! Best of luck with the in-home training!
This is such a great video. I'm glad I found your channel
I always love hearing that! Thanks!
You have any books on training and coaching you suggest? I’m a new training and the type of person that wants to keep consuming as much info as possible to feel as confident as I can
Honestly, I don’t have any great books to recommend. It’s part of the reason why I stated making these videos!
I enjoy your videos, I'm doing in home training now, I have a studio within my home what other hurdles or other this need to be put in place in training clints in their Home.
Not sure I understand your question, but thanks for the support and congrats on your home training! Keep up the good work!
I have been doing in home training for 5 + years. It's becoming a drag. From watching your videos the last few years I notice how organized your are. I'm having trouble recording the clients workouts and keeping all the sheets organized when I'm traveling around so much. Any advice ?
Thanks for watching and the support! I’ve ran private studios for a while and that’s definitely made me more organized in all aspects of training.
I use excel sheets to keep organized within training programs. This is the most recent programming video we’ve made: ruclips.net/video/CDDHlGRL3AI/видео.html
I thought this video was going to be about working from home type trainer
We do have a few videos about both online training and coaching if that’s something you’re looking for: Online and Virtual Personal Training

Not sure if you've covered this in a previous video, but how would you train a client with minimal equipment? Say if you are doing in-home training. Also would you recommend using your own home to train if you have just a slightly rusted power rack, plates, barbell, and resistance bands?
I covered some strategies in this video which is a typical in-home session: ruclips.net/video/cLKDzIaaNe4/видео.html
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Great video! Thanks for the help!
Wow, another great video. Thank you very much. Can you do please actual virtual training? Mahalo from Honolulu.
Thanks for that! I’ve got a few videos on virtual training already but I thinks there’s a good chance I’ll make more at some point
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation
Looking forward
Hi Jeff. What a great video. Thank you. I do in home training during summer. We have a lot of tourist who visit the island I live on. My question is the lady who I train tends to bring a friend or two during her session. What would you charge in this case?
Thank you! I would charge at least a dollar a minute and I would add a small travel charge. If you’re in a pricy area you may actually want to charge quite a bit more than that. It’s always a good idea to see what other in the area are charging too and offer a similar price.
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation thanks Jeff. I will keep that in mind. 💪
can we use ur workout chart for home training?
You can! Depending on what equipment you/your client has, there may be a move or two that you wouldn’t do but 99% of it would work just fine.
sir tell me how to find more and more clients best and easy way in America
These are the ways that I recommend:
Getting clients running your own business: ruclips.net/video/eUQVpvZPLlU/видео.html
Getting clients working in a gym: ruclips.net/video/Qu0MInVJehk/видео.html
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation thanks you sir
What do you think about bark?
I don’t think it’s too great. I’ve had better luck with thumbtack. That being said, I haven’t had great luck with Bark or Thumbtack. Word of mouth, google and Facebook have been the things that helped me the most.
Loved it sir 😊
Thank you ❤️
I'm also thinking of starting to train in home.
Thank you! I appreciate that! It’s definitely worth giving in-home training a try!
