Bust Out Your Kick Ass Fitness Bootcamp Marketing

Fitness boot camps are all the rage lately. While extra cash and an easy way to grow a client base it makes sense. Unfortunately, this can't happen if potential clients don't know that your bootcamp exists. This is an excellent reason why it is so crucial that you can implement the basic techniques to market your personal training bootcamp.

Fitness Bootcamps can Expand your Business

Bootcamps have increased in popularity as people are on the look out for opportunities to shed pounds, increase strength, and become more healthy. These bootcamps are also wonderful ways for personal trainers to introduce themselves to a new set of potential clients, while earning some extra dollars in the process.

Problem is, even the best fitness bootcamps won't acheive these goals if potential attendees don't konw they exist. That's where marketing comes in. Keep in mind, you're running a business. And every company relies on solid marketing techniques to make it.

Word-of-Mouth is the Most Powerful Marketing

There are lots of ways to promote your fitness bootcamp. The most powerful, though, may be through positive word-of-mouth advertising. Potential clients are more likely to trust recommendations that they receive from their friends and famiy members than they are the words written on a brochure or in a newspaper ad.

Begin promoting your bootcamp by telling those in your own network of friends and family members. Tell your existing clients about the bootcamp, too. And encourage them all to tell the people in their own lives such as family, friends, and co-workers.

Great numbers of people have a desire to trim up and increase their overall fitness. The odds are good that your existing clients, friends and family members know some of them.

Get the Word Out - Let the Community Know

Effective marketing doesn't have to be expensive. You can publicize your fitness bootcamp by taping flyers to the windows of local coffee shops, bookstores, grocery stores or hair salons. Most of the time local businesses are very willing to help out a fellow entrepreneur with event promotion.

Make sure to include all appropriate information on your flyer, including the time and date of your bootcamp and a contact number that those interested can call for more information.

Tap into the Local Press

As your fitness bootcamp draws closer, don't forget to tap into the network of community newspapers and magazines in your area. Most communities have several weekly newspapers, shoppers and magazines. The editors at these publications are constantly hunting for content to fill their pages. If you send quality content they'll be happy to publish a press release highlighting your upcoming bootcamp.

Make sure, again, to include all the important information about your bootcamp in these releases. Be sure, also, that you send your press releases to the right editor, and not to a general email account. Most journal and newspaper websites provide contact info for staff which will allow you to find the editors of health and community sections.

Profit from Google

Google can be a gold mine - if you do it right. First they love blogs, so create a wordpress blog for your bootcamp and add a ton of content. Potential clients searching the Internet will find your site and could become clients. Here are more reasons why you need a blog.

Second, use Google Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads. When PPC is mastered you can get some really inexpensive leads. Another potent marketing tool is Facebook. You can get some very targeted leads on Facebook advertising.

How to Establish A Health and Fitness Bootcamp

Want to grow your personal training customer list? Want to boost your income as a personal trainer?

It might be time to learn how to start a fitness bootcamp.

It's a way to bring both extra dollars and new long-term clients to your business.

Bootcamps are great group workouts based on a set number of sessions for a certain rate. The idea is to get as many people as possible into your program. Yes, you'll make more money that way. But more to the point, it gives you a chance to show potential long-term clients why they want to continue to train with you. And that is the beginning of your busy schedule.

Decide First, is a Fitness Bootcamp Right for My Business?
Not all personal trainers will benefit from starting their own fitness bootcamp. It could be that you prefer one-on-one training, and have less interest or skills in large groups. Or maybe you want to restrict the amount of people you train at any given time.

It might be that you don't have the space for a big bootcamp. Then again, you could get creative, do the bootcamp outside, and not have to pay rent for space at all.

At the same time, if you're even considering a bootcamp, it's a stellar way to boost your personal training business fast by creating huge opportunities for more clients and income.

What Kind Of Bootcamp Do You Want To Run?
When you figure out that, yes, you do want to get a bootcamp going, the next step is to know what your plan is. Will your fitness bootcamp run for an entire day, or will it meet in the morning? Is there a certain number of people you want to cap out at, or are you going to take as many people as come your way? Are you going to focus on a specific type of training, like cardio, strength, or flexibility, or do you want to include everything? Think about what people want and how you want to set up the program to help them in the best way.

Do You Want Your Bootcamp To Run Year Round Or Every So Often?
Next consider how often you plan on holding your fitness bootcamp. You've got options; some personal trainers only do one bootcamp a year, but some have them continuously. Still others maintain a constant schedule of bootcamps, holding, say, one devoted to strength-training for two weeks and then a second focusing on cardiovascular exercises for the next two weeks. Once you've rotated through different bootcamp programs you can just start again.

Holding a continuous series of fitness bootcamps may help you grow your business more quickly. However, it can be a lot of work. You'll have to decide whether the potential financial rewards outweigh the work. Personally I think leveraging your time by training multiple clients at once outweigh the work involved.

How will you Staff your Fitness Bootcamp?
At first you may be able to run the bootcamp alone. After you've got good business coming into the bootcamp, though, you'll probably want a bit of support staff.

You may need front-office help to assist you with collecting payments, medical forms and waivers. Or if your bootcamp is smokin' busy you may want extra trainers to lead the exercises. Just make sure to put the same care into hiring staffers for your bootcamps as you would when hiring employees to work with your main personal-fitness business.

Just as important as your bootcamp training plan is how well you promote it, so get the word out and then show 'em what you've got.
