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.
