Was this video helpful? Let me know down in the comments!
Absolutely! Thank you! I'm only just now realizing some of the steps you've layed out in this video. This has encouraged me to keep going and looking the part, and eventually working at a studio/boutique gym.
Very helpful.
Fire Bro exactly what I needed to hear
❤❤❤❤❤
Super helpful
I have been a trainer for 27 plus years…Let me say that it is so refreshing to hear someone in the industry who actually “GETS IT!” Great stuff…thoughtful, methodical, doable advice. I found myself agreeing with every word out of his mouth. If you are a young, struggling trainer…give this guy a follow... you have no idea how important all this stuff is. The schedule building, the focusing on the wealthier clients, the hybrid training…all of it. Big applause, Reuben and best wishes to you.
Thank you bro!! I appreciate that!
28 year old trainer 3 years I’m affirming that you are a good send for posting your opinion on this. Gratitude!
Very helpful. I have a question. Is it necessary to start as an in-person trainer? You mentioned it is but at the end said we can skip straight to online. I’m currently studying for my NASM certification. I’ve made workouts for people online but have no real licensed in-person experience. I would like to have that, but also want to be fully online eventually. Would you recommend going straight to starting an online business?
Great question it really depends on your goal. It's always a good idea to get in person experience because it will transfer to online but you dont "need" to have it.
I've been broke and struggling since becoming an independent trainer. This was a HUGE help. Thank you.
I respect the hustle, it's not easy hey. What have you been struggling with in particular?
Glad it was helpful bro!
This video is jam packed with useful information. I’m genuinely shocked it doesn’t have more views. I got my certification a while ago and I’m still learning more and more about the body every single day, I just want to be confident that I understand the information that I need to. This video was extremely useful for me because I didn’t know what to do after I’ve mastered all of the information about the body that I need to master, thank you, like a lot.
Glad it was helpful Darius! Thank you for the support
What is your phone number because I would love to get in shape
Awesome video Ruben, I’m in the process of becoming certified at this moment I’m currently a truck driver and I’m out of home away from my family and newborn three weeks out of a month. This has been my passion for so long, but then things happen in my life to where I have to take care of responsibilities, but I have decided to step out in faith and I put a goal out for myself to be finished with over the road trucking and get a local truck driving job so that I can focus on learning how to put out reels on my IG so that I can build a brand. may you continue to be blessed as you bless us and I will definitely be reaching out in the next several months. I can’t wait!
Thank you brother looking forward to working with you. Stay safe out there!
You’re my guy. Real af.
Currently saving to invest in your program. Follow up with me!
I appreciate you brother! Looking forward to working with you soon.
Wow you’re the first person who explained exactly what to say in Dm’s and who to Dm and how to find them! This is so useful, thank you!!
You should never ever take clients from Jim! First of all, you have to sign many papers when working at a gym, boutique or not… And one of them legally means you cannot take their members. This is seen at most gyms. Also, it is just not cool. I worked at two different boutique private personal training studio is, and I never ever would have taken the clients from there even though I was asked by the clients if I could train them at their homes.
I’m sorry bro just don’t think that that’s like the best time for everyone but I do think that putting yourself out there like teaching a Zumba class or something else in your community is a great way to market yourself and I think that’s the point that you should be trying to make ❤
Appreciate it man, in the end we are still limited by knowledge
you are right
Wow. This video was extremely helpful. I'm a certified fitness trainer and I literally began searching for ways to take my business online. This was the first video I came across. Thank you so much for your expertise and knowledge. Blessings!!
Great video! I’m excited to start my journey in the fitness business industry, and I’m definitely taking notes from you.
"This is when you shadow the best trainer in the gym and you BECOME the best trainer in the gym"
Me- recording myself training my clients with their permission then watching those sessions 😌
Lol, okay actually great advice tho! This video is amazing thank you so much! You really layed it all out simply and had no intention of selling any quick scheme to your audience. You're a blessing, man. Truly.
Thank you Daniel! Im glad you found the value in it!
Some of it is quite useful, some of it overhyped, obviously you are still selling yourself within these videos, if you had to do it all over again i dont think you would immediately take 10K and hire another fitness and business mentor, you already had 8 of those as you mentioned at the start of your video - why hire a 9th one?😅😉🤔
No sane person should need a dozen different fitness and business mentors, stop trying to hype this stuff up and normalize it just in order to close your sales because its complete BS
This is awesome Reuben! Just one question. How did we get to 3k a month in the first 0-3 months if we work at the boutique gym for free? Do we request pay at a certain point? Will they go for it?
Same thing I was thinking! Maybe different gyms have different policies
Great question.. I would use the strategy of getting clients into the gym for free first and then selling them on your package. You should do that until you're making at least 3-5k per month
I’ve been a coach for a long time but new to online coaching. This was definitely a helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you!
I never really thought about the part where you might want to reach clients who you want to work with! It makes so much sense. Thanks for this video!
awesome vide, one question though, when you say you went there virtually and dmd them. what do you mean? like you would dm the high end places instagram or how did that work?
Love how this guy gets straight to the point right from the start this is the kind of content that is so rare to find these days ❤
Awesome video! Have a quick question though. Why do you advise against big box or premium gyms? Is it because of the percentage they take from trainers or are there other reasons too? I am in a position where I am working at a big box gym for 2 years, became #1 quite fast, however, to earn what I wanna earn, I gotta work crazy hours... That's the main reason I wanna go online.
The percentages are the main thing. The added benefit of a smaller gym is the mentorship
Great video. My journey is a little haphazard. I’m a full time group fitness instructor that just got PT certified. I’ve been coaching people for free to get experience but you make great points, about looking the part. GF isn’t all about the aesthetics. I also definitely need a mentor
Your videos are EXACTLY what I needed! Great info and I love how open you are🫡 keep it up man
Thank you Alex I appreciate you!
wow great video! thanks for the value like always Reuben keep the great content coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Hello Sir, I am a video editor. I am willing to help you improve your videos. Let's collab!!!
Love your stuff man… So much free value! Can’t wait to start the FitBoss program 💪😁👍
Can't wait to have you brother!
Hey Reuben, I'm only 15 and it's kind of my dream to do something like this. Is it realistic to do this while under 18?
Thank you Reuben! This one really helps. Keep it up!
Glad you got some value from it! Thank you
Oh wow I know exactly what building this is in San Diego. Used to live a few blocks away.
I’ll be honest with you I’ve been a pt and allot more people who don’t look the part do well just have to be good at talking I mean it’s not great like but yeah
Amazing Video. This is what I want to do. Very good information and will help a lot of people out there. Thank you.
Small world bro, I’m from Valdosta myself! Thanks for sharing your knowledge bro.
small world for sure!
Do you dm the people that like the content of the high end places
I feel like I'm listening to my story right now damn great information
This is is literally going to the top of the list of my favorite videos from you Ruben great job I’m going to definitely take this approach
My man! I appreciate you thank you!
Great video, as always!! Thank you👋
very smart, did most of your client continu with you after the free training session?
I would say 40% did
Thanks for the Video, I found it helpful!
Absolutely! Thank you Olga!
Amazing content! Thank you very much 🙌
Mr. Reuben! I literally stumbled across this video! And I am thankful for the knowledge you shared! I absolutely love step one… people! let’s look like the walking commercial advertisement, that you want folks to contribute their coins to. So Sir! I will be reaching out to your team after I thoroughly complete step one! This video provided needed motivation. Thank you!
I to am glad I found this video
I'm a new trainer and health coach. With that said, I thank you for all the knowledge and tips you gave. I will definitely be watching your other videos.
hey bro great video, quick tip the music is a little too loud.
Hey there i really like your content and i wanna work with you . I can create reels or shorts for your social media platforms .
FAKE COMMENTS LMAO
Anyone here who's tried his advice? How are things going?
Great video, incredibly helpful stuff
Hi Reuben, just found your video and it gives a good perspective on online coaching! Thanks for sharing 😌
I love this video. Been in the fitness game since 4 years now with no idea to make money and I am physically fit
This is very informative. I didn’t know where to start on my journey to also become a fitness coach but this video has really inspired me to chase after it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
Glad that it was helpful for you!
I’m here at 5k sub before you blew up
I appreciate that man!!
Very informative and boy can I relate to each and every one of those experiences.
Its the "journey" right lol
Do you need a degree to start online coaching
Thank you for sharing this video, wanting everyone to win is admirable. Info without the enormous costs🤝
Helpful for anyone trying to become a trainer. Was a good watch.
Thank you Boss!
Do you offer mentorship sessions?
Great video, can't believe you're only at 5k subs. I love the boutique studio idea but that only works well if they're actually successful hah! I started in a boutique which was somewhat helpful to build my confidence by shadowing, etc but they weren't very busy so I ended up switching to Equinox which was great because you get to work with a lot more trainers and they have good in-house education. So I think a gym is a good way but definitely the higher end ones are better (better clientele, better pay, etc)
For sure! There's a ton of pros and cons with each!
Really helpful video ! thanks man - can't wait to get started
Great information and straight to the point. Thank you!
Thank you bro.. keep them coming 👌.
How long should online sessions be? How do I structure it?
Love the information! Thanks for this. Curious though, as to how did you get your in person clients to convert online? And what did you do with the ones you couldn’t convert online? I am in that middle place where i actually am already training at a private studio. However the clients are not mine, they are the studios. I found an opportunity at another studio where i can rent space with VERY little overhead with all the equipment provided. I’d just need to start from scratch with fishing for clients.
Here are some tips to convert in-person clients to online:
Build rapport: Maintain strong relationships and trust.
Highlight benefits: Emphasize convenience, flexibility, and personalized attention.
Offer trials: Provide free sessions to showcase online effectiveness.
Provide value: Offer exclusive content, personalized plans, and ongoing support.
Communicate clearly: Explain the transition process and address any concerns.
Showcase results: Share success stories and testimonials from online clients.
Adapt services: Tailor workouts, nutrition plans, and communication methods to suit online platforms.
Offer incentives: Provide discounts or bonuses for transitioning to online coaching.
Hope this helps!
I’m 6 minutes and 39 seconds in and it turns out I’ve already done the first two steps!
Let's go!!
Obvious right.. hope the info gets better.. 8 mins in.. struggling
12 mins in
. Now getting interesting 👌👌🤙
Super genuine video, very helpful thank you!
Amazing content, thanks for all the information ! What would you do if like me you didn't have any certification in coaching? I am studying physiotherapy at the moment, I love it but I'm realising that there could be much more money made in coaching as in physiotherapy and fitness is really a passion as well.
So for me In-Person coaching wouldn't really be a possibility I guess, would you then just focus on selling personalized online programs ? Or do you think it is still best to either wait for my degree to be done or get a coaching certification? Thank you for the help
I wouldn't say wait. The opportunity now is huge and if you're ready to work for it, you'll not only have potential to earn plenty of extra income but also a wealth of experience surrounding your industry. Win win situation
Do you have to pay the gym to train the people there.
i quit my job not to long ago and im financially going through it but i know there a light at the end of the tunnel which is why i want to start my online business its a start having more than one hustle will get me in the door
Thanks Mr Brooks this is giving me motivation and vibes to leave my job and look for a boutique gym
Please can you give me more ideas please
Pancake bootie was funny lol
This is such a great value video!!!!!!!!! But I'm stuck. I was at the "become a great trainer in person" phase and I had my clients at the gym where I was working. Then I moved back home, to south Italy, where I am back to....zero. I want to work online but I have zero clients here at the moment. I can't have any feedback nor record any client. What do I do😭😭
There's a lot of great advice here, however there's one point I couldn't disagree with more.
You said to join a boutique gym and ask them to let you work for free. This is simply not a feasible option for most people.
I climbed my way up to become a Health and Wellness Manager/ Manager of personal trainers at a large Health resort in Japan, and I STRUGGLED on my way up. I was working 3 jobs while in university just to barely scrape by and get my degree and certifications.
To advise someone to work somewhere for free or for "experience" just doesn't work in this day and age and is a very privileged thing to suggest.
One of the realest videos out!! Appreciate the transparency and content! Got too many gurus out here.
Damn school so expensive💀
About to start my fitness journey here soon! This might sound dumb, but what app did you use when you did those writing parts with the iPad?
So what if you dont just have $140,000 floating around...?
So helpful .Immediately implement.
Needed this!! Thank you
0-3 month in a gym making at least $3000 per month..delusional... are you joking?
Thank you this was really helpful !!!!
Thank you Alice! Glad you found it helpful!!
Also how many in person clients did it take to hit the 8k per month??
It depends on the price point!
I love watching your videos. It's been so helpful on my journey from nurse to fitness business owner! Thank you
Facts
Thank you Reuben, very insightful and well condensed training
Good video brother. What tools would you recommend to create PARQ, food diary and other templates?
Great video, a vast amount of information. I do have a question. Where do you encourage people to outsource fitness business coach ?
Would this work if I had NASM’s Certs and read Tons of Books?
Great video! so much helpful information!
Thank you for the support!
Hey 👋 I can help you setup as a successful online coach and can do marketing for you as well . Reply and then we will continue to work ❤
just got my cpt through issa would love to have you as a mentor if you are open to that
Lol trying to sell your course because personal training isn't making you any money no thanks
Is getting a certification necessary if you do want to pursue this online business?
Great video appreciate the fact you took time to create this. I know how time consuming that can be. One question I feel you didn’t get time to elaborate more is.. it it truly important to have a certification for PT?
I’m 18 and I’m a CPT and I want to learn to do online teaching so thank you 🙏
GEM FOUND!!!!
Good vid.
Thank you Rodney!
Thanks for your help brother you make me my day l am knew personal trainer
Would you recommend getting a certificate?
Shout out to all the pancake booties. Keep going!
Very Helpful
This was very valuable! Thank you brother.
Thank you Jonny!
perfect one but give me your mentor reference
Just found you… love your content. This is perfect for what I had in mind and wanted to do.
When you say virtually go to the places... Do you mean go to these local places IG page and search the comments for ppl to contact?
Not comments but people who've tagged that location!
