Welcome all feedback, review, questions or comments :-) Thanks for listening.

This weeks Q&A was filled with epic questions from the group.  We cover;  Peak and off peak price points, when is potentially the right time to implement these.

How to deal with overwhelm and "keeping your head above water" when business starts to get busy. Client welcome packs. How to stay motivated and stop procrastinating. How to deal with clients questioning the price. How to deal with clients, or potential clients who have value in products and services you do not agree with.

The latest episode is taken from a LIVE coaching session delivered on the PureGym PT Development Facebook group.  We had various questions from trainers throughout the session, from consultations, increasing session frequency, lead generation, etc.

This week we go over the struggles of getting client to adhere, especially to nutrition protocols.  Although we base the talk around nutrition, its very transferable to exercise, and other areas of programming.  Any comments welcome. 

Skip the first minute and a half of the main section, as sound got funky on the recording. This weeks episode we discuss the opportunities for self development. How to figure out what to focus on for the biggest return, some thing we do to develop ourselves, books, podcasts, etc .. 

This week we go off the questions from the group.  We cover how to prevent burn out, whilst dealing with your scheduling. What to do when a long term client looses motivation, and isn't adherent after significant success at the start of the training phase with you. And touch on some up coming event of bodypower. PS - the mic cut off towards the end, so about 5-6 mins missing.

This week we continue the conversation on managing clients expectations coming into your business, and some simple tips to improve we set them up with better outlooks and expectations working with you.

First one back in 2019. Today was a recording from the LIVE session we did on the Facebook group. We cover what things to focus on in Jan/Feb, go off on tangents (as normal), swear a bit (as normal) ... and don't hold back on what we feel is the real reason your business could be struggling. Enjoy :-) 

This week we spend time talking through client retention. Why it could happen, where it could stem from ... and simple ways to improve over time.

This weeks podcast we have been meaning to do for some time, but just cracked on with the LIVE uploads we have been doing each week. So this week (if you're bothered ), we go into our backgrounds, what we do now, and our thoughts on the what would help change the industry for the better.

This weeks episode we record a LIVE Q&A session from the Facebook group. We talk through increasing prices, interaction, setting up a meet a greet station in the gym and thoughts around workshops.

This week we answer and talk about cancellations in a PT business. Also, on the main topic go over what a premium service may look like and some quick wins to start to creat a service that exceeds clients expectations.

A shorter episode this week, continuing on from last weeks “prep for December” episode. We go into some more detail specifically about how and what to do for the monthly challenge with clients and put our views on some questions that were asked.
