5 Ways Personal
Trainers Can Benefit from a Beachbody Coach Home-Based Business
Five Ways Trainers and
Gym Owners Can Benefit from a Beachbody Coach Home-Based Business
If you’re a personal trainer or a gym owner, have you ever
considered a Home Based Business like Beachbody?
I know it’s very easy for personal trainers or gym owners to blow
home fitness programs or a home based businesses off. I’m here to ask you
to re-consider.
I am a Beachbody Coach. We
have several personal trainers, figure competitors, and gym owners on our team.
I’m not trying to teach what they know or even trying to pretend I know
what they know about Fitness & Nutrition. However, many most
trainers/gym owners don’t know what I know as a successful Beachbody Coach! 
Here are Five Reasons why I believe you should give being a Team
Beachbody Coach a chance.
Expand your territory
Personal trainers and gym owners generally draw clients from a 2 –
10 mile radius, depending how large their city is and where the next gym is.
The competition could be fierce. How many gyms and personal
trainers are there in a major city? How many personal trainers are in a
mega-gym like LA Fitness? I see a lot of personal trainers walking
around my former gym (now LA Fitness) and looking for clients. There
seems to be a lot of extra time on their hands, and I seriously doubt most
trainers are filling up an entire 40 – 60 hour work week with back to back
clients. So, wouldn’t it be nice to use Social Media like Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, etc to be able to expand your territory? Think about it,
how many people can you reach with your services just inside your gym?
How many people can you reach on Social Media? Your territory on
social media is unlimited. And having Products available to you like Shakeology,
P90X, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs,
FOCUST25, a meal planner, protein bars, supplements, etc at your disposal will
allow you to provide a service to your clients that you wouldn’t otherwise
meet. Trust me, you won’t lose your existing client base. Don’t
think like that. Have a Producer mindset and look at the opportunity to
expand your client base.
Learn how to motivate your clients better
Whether we are Beachbody coaches or personal trainers, we want our
clients to have success. However, no matter what products we have to
offer or what $5,000 piece of gym equipment we teach people to use, if they
don’t have the mindset to succeed, they won’t. As far as I know, personal
training focuses more on training people physically. We (Beachbody
Coaches) work on people mentally as well. Ask any successful Beachbody
coach and they will tell you we are in the People business rather than the
product business. As our CEO says “without our Beachbody coaches as a
support system, we’re just another company selling fitness sh**.” We
teach our Coaches how to be Leaders and how to learn to motivate others by
getting to their “WHY.” We have to be good leaders to motivate people to
work for themselves, and lead them to their dream life. We’re not paying
people like in a regular J.O.B. where the boss pays you and you do what they say.
Even as Trainers, your clients pay you, so ultimately they are the boss.
However, our job as successful Beachbody Coaches is to learn what
motivates someone to want to achieve their goals. Most of what we teach
in our Coach training is all about people skills and personal development, not
physical training or product training. This enables our coaches to be
better people on their J.O.B. and even better Trainers because of better
relationships with their clients – which ultimately leads to more results for
their clients. As gym owners, you will even learn to have better
relationships with your employees and clients thus keeping everyone happy!
Diversify
As a career, being involved will enable you to diversify in your
career. Do you want to put all your eggs in one basket? If you are
a trainer at a gym, have you noticed how many gyms in your area have come and
gone since you have been in the field? Have you noticed how many managers
have come and gone inside your gym? How many trainers themselves have
come and gone? This is an extremely competitive, risky, and high-turnover
field. That means you should protect yourself and diversify your income base.
By creating a personal training online business, you can be fully
diversified and create a residual income stream through our products like
Shakeology and the supplements and also by creating a team that pays
continually growing bonuses. As a Gym Owner, what if you have Trainers
that are continually jumping around from gym to gym, or move? They leave
and they can take their clients with them. There goes your income stream
from that client and that trainer. I’m
sure the bulk of income is made by just a few of the trainers. If you are
a gym owner, like the gym owners on my team have done, sign up as a Beachbody Coach
and then sign up your trainers as Beachbody coaches. Encourage team
building and use of the products. Then, if anybody leaves, they also have
built their own business, and wherever they go, you will be attached to
them. You continue to receive residual
income from that trainer and his/her clients! I think that’s a
no-brainer!!!
Add Value to your clients and to the Gym
With a Beachbody business, you can bring in additional revenue to
the gym and add additional value to your clients. As a trainer, you can
have your clients take advantage of all the nutrition programs that Beachbody
has to offer – something that you probably aren’t currently able to offer them
through the gym. The Ultimate Reset Program, for a cleanse, Shakeology,
and a Meal Planner which provides a service that most trainers can’t (nutrition
advice). Through our Challenge Groups, and the online virtual gym, you’ll
be able to track your clients progress 24/7 – more often than the typical 2 – 3
times per week that they get to see you. As a Gym Owner, you’ll be able
to draw trainers that have a P90x Certification or Insanity Certification, and
start running additional group fitness programs. Eventually Beachbody
will be offering even more certification programs, I am sure. In
addition, the gym can carry a full line of Supplements, Shakeology, protein
bars, etc. I know many gyms now have a smoothie bar. Why not serve
up Shakeology? Plus, you can sign up your clients for home
delivery of products through your business and make 25% commissions when people
order without even visiting your gym! Imagine if 100 of your gym members
decided to buy Shakeology Home Delivery from you every month?? WOW!!
Let me do the math. That’s an extra $32.50 commission for each
person each month so $3,250 per month sounds a lot better than a $2 profit on
each smoothie sale.
Increase Your Income
Finally, the fifth reason, but not the last reason, is it simply
comes down to the ability for people to increase their income by helping
additional clients. All of us are in the business to help people.
Some of us are in the business to help people and make a substantial
income. When you help a lot of people, you will make a substantial
income. In the gym, as a Trainer, you are probably stuck to a certain
hourly work week, and a number of sessions per week, for which you get a
certain commission. So your paycheck is directly proportionate to the
number of hours you can work and people you can see. My personal research
indicates that the average personal trainer makes somewhere in the range of
$25,000 to $45,000 per year. Certainly some are less and some are higher,
but the majority are somewhere in that range. Let’s face it, that’s not
going to create wealth, but it might provide some ability for you to do what
you love. As I said, income is directly proportionate to the number of
people we help. As Beachbody Coaches, you have the opportunity to expand
your presence and help thousands of people at once. It’s kind of like
going from a one on one model to a group training class, but you multiply that
group class by hundreds, because you can teach hundreds of people at once
through social media! Imagine if all these people were paying you just a
slice of their revenue, and you getting retail commission from ongoing clients
buying Shakeology, supplements, fitness programs, Ultimate Reset, etc.
Just as an example, and you can check the Beachbody official statement of earnings, but the AVERAGE Star Diamond Beachbody
coach in 2012 made $90,700. Can you, as
a Gym Owner or a Personal Trainer, make an additional $25,000 – $100,000 per
year doing what you are doing now? I have friends in Beachbody making
$50,000 a year, $100,000 a year, $500,000 per year, even $1.0 million per year!
This doesn’t happen overnight! We invest extra hours into it, but
how many extra hours would you have to invest to get that type of raise with
what you’re doing now? How much additional income could you use? An
extra $1,000 per month? An extra $500 per month? How about $10,000
per month? Whatever you want, it’s entirely up to you and your efforts.
If you love Fitness and helping people, and are Coachable, I am sure you
can succeed. And I hope you are coachable, after all, you’re asking your
clients to listen to you, so I hope you would listen to professional Beachbody
Coaches to help you get the lifestyle/benefits you deserve!!
Is it worth it to you now to reconsider all the benefits of a
Beachbody Coach business? I look forward to speaking with you.
