why are you trying to start a pt business when you look like that? Do you think you can get business just because you're not fat?
brazil?

Actual PT here. Do not start out as a PT as long as you're dyel. It's all about your numbers as a male, no one cares about your knowledge as long as you don't look like it actually works. It's the same as being a fat dietician.
If you manage to get actual clients it'll be out of shape boomers who won't follow your advice.
But I already have 5 clients. My target demographic are above 30 women. If it’s not me who else because my colleagues are fricking fat morons. The bar is very low here
Are those 5 customers monthly paying customers or did you have sessions with 5 people? You might get away with marketing exclusively to women but you'll have to be shredded and have a decent face. Women clients are easy to acquire and hard to keep paying.
Yes monthly paying customers. You probably right about the face. I suspect one of my older client(white diplomat) pays me just to have her company lol she even bought me a full furniture for my new apartment.
Try to set boundaries to customers early on. Most woman clients pick a PT for personal gratification rather than actual exercise routines. Marketing to them is incredibly easy though. Read up on menstrual cycles and how to adapt nutrition and training. Mentioning this in personal marketing will guarantee female exposure and reaction. Be sure to set them up with monthly subscription plans because most of them will stop doing the work after a couple of weeks.
Thanks anon. How long have you been a trainer for? And do you make a decent money?
My pleasure. I started out about 4 years ago and with just one off sessions while working my regular day time job. Once I had a good reputation I started cooperating with a local gym, meaning I'd bring personal clients in for them and they'd sign them up with contracts and pay me a fee for it. Together with "online only" clients I started making enough money to quit my daytime job and to comfortably provide for my little family.
That’s great. One more thing. How often do you change your routines? I’m constantly getting clients who wants to do different exercises everyday. How do you deal with this kind of clients? which most of them are.) and any resource you want to share?
I usually tell clients that we'll work with 6 week long blocks before making a change. This way they know that even if they don't "enjoy" certain exercises, they'll have a chance to change them in a foreseeable time. Most clients will have certain movements they're just not getting comfortable with, so having substitutes for those exercises is key. You'll have to realize that most clients don't really care about "what's right", or what routines have proven themselves (because they're boring to most people) and they simply hire a PT to feel a little better about them selves, either trough actually seeing results or simple validation. The demographic you're targeting usually hires a PT to get away from their families, b***h about their husband's and or lack thereof, and to feel special for being a woman who does some basic weight training. You'll spend most of your time validating their egos and there's good money in it if you can stand to do that.
This.
You will only be laughed and mogged (stitched if they like you, the real douchers will just save your vid and give you no shoutout) by every real fitness person on the app. Trust me, you have to at least be able to provide video proof of you lifting heavy currently, don't look like a DYEL (know how to edit photos/lighting and be ripped) or have a legitimate background (e.g ex-pro BB or endorsed by said BB).
You can also try for some meme shtick like "knees over toes" guy or the flavor of the month, Tren/steriod endorser but I doubt you are creative enough to figure that out and keep the shtick if you are asking for help here.
That's dyel by fit standard but I think it's more than enough to convince mormies to join, especially if your country has a limited access to social media
Yeah bro, looking good. Though if you're tryna target over 30s women is Tiktok the best platform? Thought that was for a younger audience. Still do it though, free marketing.
Don't listen to all these homosexuals. As the one anon said, you look well enough to start a business. Be persistent and keep the marketing frequency up
Will i get trolled on?
depends. post body and i'll give you my honest opinion
Steal the frick out of that Asian dyel gay and do very moderate approach, like YOU CAN DO PUSHUPS/PULLUPS MY BRAZA.
You'll be praised and your country become little more fit
>in my country
You will get trolled, 100%, its the modern times man. Learn to live with it.
All you need is abs and some professional photos with good lighting and a pump
You want our permission for you to tell zoomers how to train like a moron?
Who says tiktok is zoomers only app
