It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at the fitness industry and understand that it is booming. The question is, why is it so hard to grow a fitness business and your personal training salary? The average personal training salary is around $61,000 which is pretty good when considering the average salary for other occupations. There’s no doubt that you can make great money in the fitness industry as a personal trainer.

However, when looking at the salary of an entry-level personal trainer, it’s around $35,000 per year. It often times takes trainers years of industry experience and education for them to break the $50,000/year mark.

In this article, we will go over exactly how you should approach your personal training business if you want to see your business grow. So whether you’re a new trainer or a trainer who feels “stuck”, buckle up. We are about to take a ride into the trenches of how to be a successful personal trainer.

Step 1. Establish business goals and pursue them with every decision you make.

This one seems like a “no-brainer”. But the thing that people lack is putting pen to paper and defining goals they want to hit. Once you have a goal, assess whether or not the decisions that you are making support your goal.

For example, let’s say your goal is to get 15 clients. Then if that is your goal, look at what you are doing while at work and ask yourself “how is this going to get me to 15 clients?”. If you can’t answer that question, then you should probably shift gears into doing something else that will help you meet your goal.

If there’s one thing that the gym is great for, it’s socializing. However, next time you’ve sat around chatting up a storm with your buddies at 3pm on a Monday, hopefully you’ll remember this article. While you shouldn’t blow your friends off, define times in which you will do nothing but focus on your clients and growing your client base. Your friends really should understand this.

Your salary will be a direct reflection of your ability to set goals and execute on them.

But hold on… setting a goal isn’t going to be enough. You must be confident in your ability to achieve this goal.

Setting a goal isn’t going to do anything for you if you are constantly thinking that you won’t hit that goal. When you set that goal, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter a when. There are legitimate psychological phenomenon that occur when you set goals and fully believe in them.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction? The Law of Attraction isn’t some universal magic. It’s foundation is actually rooted in psychology. When you focus your thoughts, feelings, and actions towards a singular goal, you activate different parts of your brain that help your be more “present minded”. Consequently, you become more solution oriented and more likely to hit your goals.

As an exercise of goal setting, sit down and write down long term and short term goals. Start with your long term goals and then ask yourself what you need to accomplish in order to get one step closer to your long term goal.

Step 2. Continue to learn and seek deeper education.

If there is one thing that is going to get you to the next level in your personal training career and your personal training salary, it’s continued education through extra personal training certifications or specializations. There is a direct correlation between education level and salary level/career success.

When we say, continuing education, we don’t mean just making sure your CEU’s are met each year. That part is assumed as a part of just keeping your foot in the door as a personal trainer. What you should be doing on top of this is seeking extra personal training courses that can help you become an expert in your desired field.

Besides approaching it from your career standpoint, you should also approach it from the standpoint that if you are educating yourself you are improving yourself and therefore can provide better service to your clients as well, which should always be a goal of yours.

Step 3. Get organized and manage your time effectively.

The schedule of a personal trainer is hectic. Primarily because trainers schedules are strongly dependent on other peoples schedules. And to top that off, you have to squeeze in admin time and sales work as well. However, if there’s one thing you can learn from those who do have a high personal training salary, it’s that they organize their day and have a schedule that they stick to like clock work.

There are a lot of reasons why you should create a structured schedule:

• Avoiding burnout. One of the biggest factors that leads to burnout is the lack of scheduling. It just simply leads to more stress then is necessary.
• You be become more efficient. It goes without saying that you are more likely to do the things that you say you are going to do if you pencil them into your schedule. Additionally, creating a structured schedule that you abide by helps you get into a routine.
• It can help you separate your work life from your personal life. If your schedule is hectic and unorganized, then you are more likely to forget things that you will later have to complete at a home or when you didn’t anticipate in doing so.

One of the biggest aspects to staying organized is figuring out how to manage your clients effectively as well. Using a client management software can help you save time in doing that pesky admin work. You can save time in creating workout templates, nutrtion plan templates, auto email reminders, and a lot more.

Step 4. Create a financial plan and expect an inconsistent income.

Just like your schedule, your personal training salary is more likely going to be a little inconsistent as well. The demand for personal training fluctuates and it does so sometimes without warning. While it does fluctuate around the holidays, it may also fluctuate outside of times of the year that aren’t as predictable.

What happens when a client has a sudden life emergency and two other clients go on vacation? What happens when one of those clients is one of your more frequent clients? You have to have a contingency plan for this in the form of savings.

Additionally, if you have a financial plan in place, then that means you are more likely to have a savings and more likely to be able to afford courses that can help you expand your education.

Step 5. Have a plan for referrals and marketing yourself.

If you’re an in-person personal trainer, then referrals will and should become a major source of your client base. It doesn’t have to be an awkward discussion with your clients. In fact, if you have done your job in preserving the trainer-client relationship well and gotten the client the results they want, then they will more then likely be happy in helping you find more clients through referring you to others.

There’s a saying that goes “the best new business comes from old business”. This isn’t saying old clients will come back to you. While that is something that can and does happen, this quote is referencing the word of mouth referrals that happen when you satisfy a client.

While you may be working for a gym that helps you get clients through a dedicated sales team, it is still your job to make an effort to get yourself more clients. This is a great skill to learn and will help you become a more independent trainer, and eventually, will help you one day in starting your own business if that is the route you choose.

Now, if you are an independent trainer or an online personal trainer, then I highly suggest learning how to market yourself online as well. If you are able to learn digital marketing skills, then the sky is basically the limit in terms of where you can take your fitness business and personal training salary.

Step 6. Don’t ignore client compliance and create an honest relationship with your clients.

When it comes to personal training salary killers, having a really high turnover rate for clients is one of them. The goal at the end of the day is to help your client get the results they want and to work with them over a longer period of time. What you’ll find is, as you help clients hit their goals, their goals will start to shift as they become more confident in themselves.

However, the key to keeping clients around for awhile is getting them results in the first place. One of the things that can act as a major inhibitor to that is low client compliance. If you are assigning your clients workouts and nutrition plans, then it is also your job to make sure they abide by what you assigned them.

Here are some quick tips that can help you retain clients

• Don’t be afraid to be frank with your client. If your client has done a bad job at making sure they hit their workouts or nutrition plans, then sit them down and make it clear that the only way they are going to hit their goal is if they really start taking the programs that you have assigned them seriously. With a lot of people, this is all you need to do to get them back into the gym or the kitchen with a chip on their shoulder.
• Track their progress. Progress tracking is crucial as a personal trainer. This way you can measure if what you are doing is really working. Additionally, it gives you something to reference as well when giving the client praise for all the hard work they have put in.
• Celebrate the wins. When your client hits a new PR, give them all the hype. Depending on your client, this might even be the first time have even experienced a new gym PR in their life. I mean, when you think about it, it’s actually pretty cool what they have done. They have, on a biological scale, improved their body for the better. That’s pretty darn cool if you ask me.
• Be yourself and have fun. If there’s one thing you one want to avoid doing, it becoming the robotic mean gym trainer that does nothing but assigns workouts. If you are yourself around your clients you are far more likely to foster a genuine relationship with them. To add on top of that, they will probably be more likely to be excited about coming into the gym!
• Be solution oriented. Let’s say your client has a hard time cutting out junk food. Instead of getting mad at them or placing blame on them, help them in creating a realistic plan that will eventually help them get off of junk food. It is not realistic for a client to just quit bad habits on the spot.

This month, we are excited to announce a great FindTrainGain update. From calendar integrations to improved search experience, we have implemented a couple great new features designed to not only help with the live fitness class experience overall but we have also implemented a couple things on the FitSW side to help the trainer out.

If there’s one thing that’s true, it’s that FindTrainGain has come a long ways since we first announced it.

In this article we will also cover some new FitSW features we have been working on as well.

FindTrainGain Update: New Features

Updated Pricing

We have updated the pricing structure of FindTrainGain. Here is the jist:

For live fitness classes, the instructor gets every bit of every live class transaction besides two small processing fees. Those fees are:

• Credit Card Processing: 3.9% + $0.30
• Live Stream Processing fee: 6.1%

Read more: https://www.fitsw.com/processingFees/

Calendar Integrations

At FitSW, one of the biggests things we wanted for FindTrainGain was to make sure it was transparent. As in, it’s easy t keep track of classes and to integrate it into your schedule as easy as possible. With this in mind, we are excited to announce some robust calendar integrations available to those who sign up for live classes through FindTrainGain. Here’s a list of the calendars we integrate with so far:

• iCalendar
• Google Calendar
• Outlook Calendar

Improved Search Experience

We completely re-structured the search page layout. We added several new sections including:

• Live Fitness Class categories (Yoga, HIIT, Strength, Cardi, Dance, and other).
• Upcoming classes by category – simply click on the category bubble and the upcoming classes for that section will populate.
• Popular online fitness class searches (Affordable Online fitness classes, Upcoming fitness classes, HIIT classes, and Yoga Classes).

Improved Search Filtering

This an important one. Imagine Googling “Chinese food near me” and it pulls up “Plumbers in Russia”? Not fun. Now you can sort by date, price, and live fitness class type pretty simply.

Improved Instructor Discovery

The backbone of FindTrainGain is built on the instructors. As such, we want to make sure the site is structured such that it is easy for instructors to get discovered by new clients and/or those who would like to take their live fitness classes on a regular basis.

Every single class listing has an “about” button users can click to learn more about the instructor. If they like they see, they can even message the instructor right there on the spot.

Additionally, FindTrainGain users can also see more information about the instructor and the upcoming fitness classes that will be taught by that instructor.

FitSW Update: July 2020

Over the last months, the FitSW team has been really focused on getting this latest FindTrainGain update out. However, that didn’t stop us from adding a couple new changes to the FitSW site as well. We have made some major improvements to a couple core features of FitSW that we are excited about.

Fully Integrated Messaging With Push Notifications

Since we released the new dashboard layout, some of you may have noticed there was a little bell icon in the top right hand corner of the page that did… well nothing. However, now it serves as a fully functional notifications center.

Now, you’ll get notified whenever you get a message through that little bell icon or “notification center”. The best apart about it? The notification are available on all pages.

Now, you and your clients will never miss a beat!

Improved Record Keeping for Live Classes

With live fitness classes, you can now see a record of your past live classes. Additionally, under the options column, you can see a record of the participants in your past classes as well.

Have any Feedback on this FindTrainGain Update?

Let us know by either commenting on this blog, emailing us at support@fitsw.com or messaging us on our social media channels!

When it comes to personal training businesses, there are a lot of people who are running their businesses very similarly. It’s not a bad thing, the same thing is true for a lot different business types. But one thing you learn in looking at a lot of different business types is the ones that add value to their customers lives beyond the main product or service they sell stick out in the industry. You too, as a personal trainer, can differentiate yourself from your competitors through adding value to your personal training business beyond the primary services you are providing.

Tip 1: Send regular emails with Health, Fitness, Wellness, and Lifestyle Tips.

When it comes to adding value to your personal training business, this can be one of the most powerful methods. When someone hires a personal trainer, the experience is more likely going to be a major learning experience for them. Even if they were knowledgeable in fitness/nutrition prior to working with a personal trainer.

Just in their experience in working with a trainer during workouts, clients will learn more about fitness and nutrition. However, sending them emails full links to articles you have written or tips can be very helpful for their learning and for your business for a variety of reasons:

• Sending emails full of helpful facts to your clients regularly shows you truly care for your clients.
• It also creates more engaged clients because they care constantly reading and digesting the material you are sending them.
• It can increase referrals if clients share the information they learn from you with their social circles.

However, when doing this, it can be hard to make sure you are constantly sending new information to them.

Create a schedule in which you send different types of content each day of the week.

• Monday – Send out an inspirational story of someone who made an amazing transition in fitness. The story can be about anyone, it doesn’t matter if they were or weren’t a client of yours. The main focus should
• Tuesday – Send quick circuit workouts everyone can fit into their schedule (even busy moms with full time jobs).
• Wednesday – Send something informational about how the body works. For example, sending an email on the mind-body connection and a high level overview of what it is and how it works.
• Thursday – Send information about supplements. You can include information on where they come from, if its produced in the body naturally, who can benefit from them the most, and different use cases of different supplements. For example, Creatine is often times thought of in terms of an exercise supplement. However, did you know Creatine has a number cognitive benefits and can be used to improve short term memory/logical reasoning?
• Friday – Practical things you can do to keep your goals on track over the weekend.
• Saturday – Fun exercises to keep you active on rest days.
• Sunday – Send a recipe or multiple recipes to different types of fun foods. Sending recipes on Sunday can be really helpful because a lot of people do their main grocery shopping runs on Sunday.

While putting together a content plan, there are a variety of software you can use to help ease the workload off of you. For example, you can use Mailchimp to send emails in bulk and even schedule emails to send based on timezone for each of your clients.

In addition, if sending out something every day seems like to much, try consolidating your email marketing schedule into maybe 3 or 5 days a week. Then as you become accustomed to it, you can up the frequency in which you send out your emails.

If you are still struggling to find new content, trying running a poll with your clients to find what they want to hear more of.

Your clients may have a preference in terms of what type of stuff they want to learn about more frequently. Using a service like SurveryMonkey can help you run polls over email while using Mailchimp. This can be a great way to gain insight into what your clients care about.

Try subscribing to health and fitness blogs yourself to gain inspiration for your content.

The best way to consistently produce good content is to consume good content. Here’s a list of some health and fitness blogs you can subscribe to for inspiration:

• MindBodyGreen – Fitness, Health, and Lifestyle
• ACE – Health, Fitness, and Tips for personal trainers
• The Jessie Kneeland Blog – Body image positivity

The blogs above provide a lot of thought leadership and resources to their readers and can be a great source of inspiration.

Tip 2: Invest in your own learning

One of the biggest decisions personal trainers face in their careers are figuring out where they are going to specialize. There are tons of specializations a trainer can get in their career, some are very similar to each other while other specializations are very different.

However, another area where personal trainers can really learn a lot is simply through experience. As a personal trainer, you will learn new things from each client you work with.

As you progress through your career, it’s highly recommended to continue to do your best in learning as much as you can. Because, inevitably, you will gather more knowledge and tools to be a better trainer for you client and all around, a better business owner.

The learning that you do doesn’t have to be isolated to learning about fitness and nutrition. Learning more about owning a business can help you be a better business owner. In turn, not only are you offering better services to your clients but also you will be able to run a smoother business.

Tip 3: Start an Exclusive Facebook Group

If you are a frequent reader of blogs published by FitSW then you probably hear us talk about starting an exclusive Facebook group quite often.

Exclusive Facebook groups help bring your clients together and it gives them a place to get to know each other, learn, feel inspired, and provide/receive constructive feedback.

A Facebook group for your clients can really help with client engagement. When paired with the email marketing, your clients will have a lot of places to go to learn and find inspiration. Additionally, beyond adding value to your clients you are literally adding value to your personal training business.

If you write blogs often then you can post them to the group regularly which implies a couple things. Namely, clients in your group will more likely share their favorite articles with their followers, bringing more attention to your business.

Additionally, anytime you post a blog to Facebook and it gets shared, it counts as a back link which can improve the reach of your blog articles on Google.

Picking a target market is one of the most definitive decisions you can make in building your personal training business. It helps you better define a lot of aspects of your business. But a lot of trainers go back and forth on choosing a target market. Should you? Do you have to? Why should you? In this article we will go over choosing a target market for personal training, why it’s important, and some considerations.

Finding your target market becomes especially important when you are looking at becoming an online personal trainer or looking at bringing some portion of your business online. Even if you are looking to just do in-person training, knowing your target market and leveraging digital marketing can still help you get more in-person clients.

But first, the difference in Target Market vs Niche

Is a square a rectangle, is a rectangle a square? Tomato, tomahto, potato, potahto – am I right? No, no, I’m actually wrong, very wrong. A niche and a target market are actually two different things – although they are related.

Niche

A niche is what you specialize in doing. It’s the service or product that you offer. Naturally, as a personal trainer, you already have a niche which is personal training services. However, nested inside of the broad niche of personal training services are more specialized niches.

For example, if you specialize in weight loss then your niche changes slightly towards what you are specialized in.

Target Market

Your target market is the group of people you serve. While some of your target market is defined by your niche, some of it is up to you to decide.

For example, if you are a weight loss specialist then your target market is automatically those who want to lose weight. However, you can further specialize if you want. You can become a women’s or men’s weight loss specialist and that further narrows your target market.

Target Markets vs Demographics

These are two terms that often get mixed up and confused. While they are very similar and related in some areas, they are two different concepts.

Target Market

When compared to demographics, your target market is more broad. This is because for a lot of people, their products and services appeal to a wide variety of people, all with different demographics.

A target market is more likely to be a conglomeration different demographic data. It’s rare that you’ll ever find a target market that consists of “men that are married”. That is way to general. Target markets are more specific than that. Your target market may consider the following:

• Age
• Gender
• Income
• Location
• Life events
• Education
• Ethnicity

Keep in mind, these are just some examples. There are probably many more you can consider, especially if you are in a really specific niche.

Demographics

However, when you look at demographics, they typically considered as small groups within a target market that share common attributes. For example, segmenting audiences by age is common for a lot of marketers and marketing agencies.

Identifying your Target Market for Personal Training

Now that we know a little bit about the distinction between target markets and it’s constituents, lets take a look at identifying your target market.

Your Existing Customer Base

Your existing customer base is guaranteed to have common character traits that can help you get a feel for your target market. Even if they feel like a pretty diverse group of people, the chances are they share at least a couple small commonalities whether it’s character traits or interests.

Let’s take a look at an example: Ultimate Performance Personal Training

When you take a look at the Ultimate Performance website, one thing becomes apparent; they target women who are trying to lose weight. They have done a great job in letting site visitors know exactly what they do. However, even though they are targeting women who want to lose weight, their target market may go a little deeper then that.

Let’s dive into their website to see what we can find that may give us a clue as to what some additional pieces of their core target market are.

The Results Page

While taking a look at their results page, they displayed close to 100 transformation images. One thing that becomes obvious pretty much immediately is the average age of their clients. Most of them are over the age of 30. There were a couple 20 year olds in there but for the most part, everyone was over the age of 30.

So now, we are starting to get a great start! So far we know they are targeting women over the age of 30 who want to lose weight. Now this is starting to get more targeted! Let’s dive a little deeper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upon exploring the site a little more, I stumbled upon “common questions” they get in regards to their personal training services. One thing becomes clear, they aren’t competition prep coaches. While this doesn’t necessarily mean they are excluding themselves from offering that as a service, their main target market doesn’t seem to have a lot of experience in the gym.

So now, their personal training target audience becomes: women over the age of 30 who want to lose weight and don’t have that much experience in the gym or fitness. Let’s look around a little bit more to see what else we can find before we call it quits.

Their Pricing

After looking around a little bit, I could only find the pricing for their one-on-one online personal training services. However, this is still good because it can tell us a little bit about their target audience.

$759 for 3 months breaks down to:

• $253 per month
• $64 per week

Now, by many standards, this is actually a rather affordable plan. Especially since this plan covers you for:

• Structured gym programs
• planned diets
• Individualised supplements
• Accountability – they get on your case when you don’t stay consistent.

Based on the pricing, they aren’t targeting people who make boatloads of money as their pricing is very fair. However, I did notice they seem to operate and advertise out of major cities. Which introduces another variable.

High cost of living. If you are making minimum wage in Los Angeles, you more then likely can’t afford personal training services. So their average client more than likely makes $45,000 or more.

What does all of this mean?

While we don’t have access to the data that Ultimate Performance may have, you start to get a feel for what their target market for personal training looks like. Here’s what we have gathered so far:

• They help women lose weight.
• Their average client is over the age of 30 and doesn’t know that much about fitness.
• Based on their pricing, they may be targeting based on income level ($45,000/year +).
• According to the assumed income and the locations they operate out of and advertise in, their target market probably has a degree of some sorts.

Why does this all matter?

I hope by now that you see the value in really focusing time on figuring out your target market. Having a solid grasp on your target market will help you build a better brand which inevitably helps you better curate your message and marketing to those who are more likely to relate to you.

Without a target market, you can very easily lose money and motivation when people come to your site and don’t do anything besides bounce and never come back.

Discovering and Using your Target Market for Personal Training

That was a lot of information. Lets take a look at what you can do to get a better grasp of your target market and how to use it.

1. Discovering: Make sure you have the right analytics in place.

If there’s one thing that’s a must, that’s having the data. But lets not get confused here. We aren’t talking about compiling a bunch of 1’s and 0’s into some deeply meaningful analysis. We aren’t data scientists here.

But, what you can do are a couple things:

• If you have a blog or website, make sure you create a Google Analytics account and install the tracking snippet. Google Analytics will compile the data for you, such as, the common interests of those who are visiting your site, their behavior, the devices they are using, and more.
• Make sure your social media accounts are business accounts. This way you get access to things like Instagram insights and other pieces of data. Besides this, explore the profiles of those who interact with your brand regularly and determine common character traits.

2. Discovering: Have the data now? Look for trends and commonalities.

As you start to figure out what type of person is more likely to interact with your brand, it’s important to ensure you have the right pieces of data in place.

Here are couple for consideration:

• Age – This doesn’t have to be an exact average or anything like that. But if you were able to figure what age ranges dominate your consumer base, then you are on your way to understanding you audience better.
• Spending habits – Again, this does have to be exact but getting a feel for what income level your audience is at helps you understand how they are spending. Specifically for personal training, this can be valuable as personal training is considered a deluxe services. As such, understanding you base audiences spending habits and income can help.
• Interests – What is your target market interested in besides your products or services? What do they do when they are interacting with you and your brand? Understanding this can come in big when trying to figure out the best messaging for your brand.
• Life – Where is your target audience in life? Are they more likely to be single? Married? Married with kids in their teens? Are they retired?

3. Using: Clarifying your value proposition

Once you have the analytics in place, you can start to figure out who makes up your target market. Once you start to figure this out, it’s time to go to work on making your marketing very clear.

Translating your services into a direct value proposition and solutions to problems

A lot of people get caught up here. Your services and/or products are going to have associated value beyond features.

Listing all of the benefits of your service is attractive because, essentially that is what you are selling. However, if your only value proposition is listing the benefits of your service, then you might have a hard time getting people to make a purchase.

This is because of a common method used in sales is called “putting the customer in the product“. This is where you pin point the reason behind why the consumer is chasing a product like yours. Here, you want to figure out their “why” and then create a value proposition that fits in with their need.

Putting the Customer in the Product

For example, when you go car shopping, it wouldn’t be very helpful if when looking for a car with a sales rep, their pitch was:

“Oh yeah, you’ll love your jeep wrangler JK unlimited 4WD 4 inch lift kit w/ vertex reservoir shocks! This bad boy also comes with a top feed 1050x fuel injector guaranteed to get you to at least 300 NM’s of torque…”

I’m not even going to pretend to know anything about cars or that the example above was coherent. But you get the point. Your value prop needs to be functional right off the bat. Tell your customer exactly what problems you can solve through putting the solution in context. Here’s an example but geared towards personal training:

“Together, we will work to get rid of that back pain so that you can set an example for your kids on how to live a healthy life, throw them around when its play time, and live a confident life like your deserve.”

That sounds much better then:

“Through progressive loading and myofascial release, we will lift the tension in your lower lumbar that should pull the pressure off the L5 vertebrae giving you approximately 15 degrees of more rotational freedom without pain!”.

While that sounds fancy, it doesn’t resonate on a human level.

4. Constantly Adjust Your Research and Testing

As you start to better figure out your target audience, keep in mind that your business may change and other variables might cause slight adjustments to your target audience.

Consider how external variables control your target audience such as time of year and holidays.

Make sure you are always testing and analyzing your audience data to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Are you a trainer interested in our live virtual classes? Get a jump start on everyone else by joining our pilot program for live classes.

We have just recently launched live virtual training classes as a new feature on FitSW. However, when considering our sister site, FindTrainGain, we have big plans for how we want to integrate the two features together.

How it Works

First, some background. Prior to launching live virtual training classes, we launched FindTrainGain (FTG). We launched FTG as a part of an effort to help any and all trainers who use FitSW get discovered by more clients.

The deal is, if you have an active trainer account through FitSW then you get listed on the FTG site, a site in which we are actively driving traffic too.

With the live training classes being released, we are working on giving trainers the ability to list their classes on FTG, open to the public.

The Pilot Program

We are looking for trainers who want to host a couple classes through FTG and work with us throughout the process to provide insight and feedback.

Really, our goal is gain a more holistic point of view and gather feedback on live class streaming through FitSW and FTG.

How to Join the Pilot Program for Live Classes

If you are a trainer interested in testing this new feature and working with us, shoot an email to either admin@fitsw.com or support@fitsw.com.

We will get back to you and actively work with you to schedule a class and test it. Any feedback you provide will be collected and used to better the feature for all trainers and clients.

If you are able to workout with us, we will announce your class on social media as well. We want to test the feature in the most realistic setting possible and have fun while doing it.
