Training out of house

by victor
(macomb, MI)

Hello, i am getting ready to start a personal training busniess out of my house. I am 24, have 3 years expierence at Fitness Together.

Have those of you who train out of your house, have trouble with clients taking your busniness serously? My only worry is people feeling uncomfortable with a basment gym. I see some of you have beautiful gyms, and nice websites, i assume you are doing well. How long did it take until your income was enough to make it worthwhile. Any advise you can give is welcomed. Also, how many hours do you put in a week?

go for it

I think that is awesome. I want to start my own business but I will go to the client in their homes as opposed to them coming to mine.

Perhaps I could do a combination of the two.

Let me know how it goes. I am curious.

What part of the country are you practicing in? I am in Louisiana.

I am from Michigan. Terrible economy, but i figure that it may work in my favor as far as charging slightly lower rates. Though, many say not to, in order to not appear to be a lesser value. I will just because there will be no over head and to get a steady client base. Good luck with your goals and thanks for replying!

Same here
by: Ashley

I am wanting to do the same thing. I am just trying to figure out which certification is right for me, seeing as I would like to do the business out of my basement.

I'm curious as to what insurance costs you per year for something like that, and also what kind of equipment you have? Can the purchases of equipment be used as a tax write-off? Do you consider it an official "business". Just trying to get an idea of the marketing/legal aspects of doing it out of the home. I'm from Wisconsin.

In Home/Mobile Fitness Training
by: Machelle Lee - The Invisible Gym

Hi Victor,

My name is Machelle Lee and I have been doing mobile fitness training for 8 years. My business is called The Invisible Gym.

Being able to service clients in multiple locations makes you unique and it doesn't require a lot overhead. The competitive advantage of in home/mobile training is that it doesn't require a large investment up front. I just recently finished a manual called, The Mobile Trainers Guide To Business Success. Having done mobile training for 8 years, I became frustrated with the lack of resources for the mobile trainer.

To help new Mobile Fitness Trainers get started, we’ve compiled a 123-page resource manual called the Mobile Fitness Trainers Guide to Business Success. This manual is full of tips and strategies with proven results. It also includes ready made business forms and operations. This is the only business resource on the planet specifically for the Mobile Trainer!

I will be presenting at the IDEA Health and Fitness World Conference in a few weeks and it is my hope that in home and mobile training become an integral part of the industry.

feel free to email me directly if you have any additional questions. Good luck.
