Tips for success
- If possible, undergo training in a range of fitness areas to keep your options open. Doing this will give you a good understanding of what you might want to specialise in.
- Make sure you get public liability insurance to cover you in the event of any
accidents.
- Always get some payment up front and include a clause that full payment
must be made if customers drop out at short notice.
- Hand business cards out to all customers - many will have friends who are
interested.
- Try and update your knowledge of new fitness training techniques at least
twice a year by attending courses and seminars run by industry bodies.
