DON’T DO THIS If You Want To Get More Clients || NASM-CPT Pro Tips

If you work in a gym as a newly certified personal trainer, you'll likely need to approach members to help them or possibly even get them enrolled as a client. However, just like anything else, there's a RIGHT way and a WRONG way.
Make sure you're not doing it the wrong way if you actually want to pick them up as a client.

Great advice Coach Joe. I have a great network of gyms, and currently training clients inside the gym and in my home gym. It’s not in my nature to just randomly comment on someone else’s form, and I can definitely understand how it could come off the wrong way, and greatly reduce your chances of getting new clients. I love seeing my gym friends and stopping for a quick chat in between sets.
When I train my clients I am very focused on correct form because I don’t want them to injure themselves. I also really want them to get the most out of each rep. I really try to discuss the importance of the form before they start the exercise, so that they are more empowered going into it.
I love your content! Always solid 💯

When I first got my CPT I always wanted to correct people and that always makes it weird but I know I will do the right thing, thank you for these tips

Willing and wanting! Amen to that! I need to learn that

Great message! I don’t work out at the gym but this is good advice, thank you!

Haha I love the beginning of the video, that’s literally me when I’m working out at the park, and I see someone doing a plank with their elbows not stacked underneath their shoulders 😅

We just can't help ourselves, right?

Is it okay to wear outfits that say "Personal Trainer" in a gym that you don't work for?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Ahhhh - great question! We’re all for advertising yourself and making sure people know what you do, but the training community is small. You’re always better off building great relationships with trainers and gyms and I’d say wearing a “TRAINER” shirt purposely on someone else’s turf would be a little distasteful. Take all of the other advice in this video but don’t spend time trying to poach in other gyms - don’t want to try and build a business with questionable ethics. Karma will get you at some point.
