Supplement your Personal Trainer income

by Scott H
(Sycamore, IL - USA)

Making a living as a personal trainer can be tough. I skipped the working for the gym thing and opened my own studio in my garage. The client base has grown steadily at $35-50/hour (depends on how many sessions they purchase).

The best add on I found for my business though was nutritional products. I've used the products myself, and have my weight management clients use them as well. They see results right away, and the referral business is astounding from it. ***Editors note: Promotional link removed***

Bottom line...find things that help you stand out as a personal trainer, and that you can use to help your clients. There are lots of other ways (supplement affiliates added to your website, for example) to help your clients and help yourself. Think outside the box.

Blah

No supplement is going to do anything for you if you are not eating properly. I see alot of trainers who sell overpriced junk like advocare, apex, etc...

Fix your DIET!!!

You want to stand out from other trainers?
Before and After PICS!!!!!! It's the best way to generate more income

Selling supplements doesn't always make you a crappy trainer
by: Anonymous

Sure some gyms and trainers are going to sell over-priced supplements (the ones that are a complete rip, but have great marketing, therefore it's an "amazing product"). But this doesn't mean that if you sell supplements, you're in it to rip them off. If you order supplements, and sell them for a little higher, to supplement your income, I think that's a great idea. You're making it more convenient to your client, therefore it's justifiable to charge more. I'm planning on getting into personal training one day, and eventually own my own gym (that would be sweet), and if I sell supplements, I plan to only sell what I'd use, or consider a good product.
