Fitness Professionals across the globe are scrambling to keep their businesses afloat while so many are staying home. The good news is that you can go virtual and your clients will thank you!
We have decided to use Facebook Live as it seems to be the simplest way to be live AND allow clients to go back and watch workouts later.
Our 4-Week Virtual Group Training Program:
$99. The Virtual Group Training Program is included in our top training memberships.
The cost is per household.
We typically have punch cards as an option for group training sessions, but we will not be able to honor them for the virtual program.

Today, I want to share MY TOP 3 secrets to making group training a success
Work Your Clients Hard

I have shared many of my small group training tips with you, but today I want to focus on large group training. We have recently had some very large boot camp groups. Here are the strategies I use to ensure everyone gets an effective workout, things run smoothly and everyone stays safe.
When you have that large of a group, you need to consider the types of exercise, equipment, sequencing and how to divide the group so it’s not pure chaos. I choose to keep it really simple and perform mostly body weight exercises.

It can be hard to fill certain hours in your personal training schedule and those hours are going to differ depending on the demographic of your clients. The good news is that….

At Northwest Personal Training all of our group fitness instructors are also personal trainers at our studio and this set up is a win/win for everyone. Our group fitness clients get high quality instructors who are also personal trainers and can bring their extra expertise to the group setting. Having our personal trainers teach our group fitness classes is a win for our business and here is why….
Personal trainers who are also skilled group fitness instructors have a very easy time of growing their personal training business. It makes sense. If you’re teaching a class to 20, 30, 50 or more participants…..you are in the spotlight. If group fitness clients regularly attend your classes, and they’re thinking about consulting with a trainer, they will most likely come to you because they already know and trust you.

Can you believe it? I have even more tips to help make your Group Training Sessions/Program successful! These are the same tips that I give the trainers that work at Northwest Personal Training.
Make Clients Accountable
All of our Group Training clients meet with a trainer initially to establish a schedule that suits their needs, lifestyle and goals best. They are then scheduled into our Group Training appointment calendar so we know when they are supposed to be there. If a client does not show up for a scheduled Group Training session, be sure to call them immediately. Remember not to judge, but it is our job to help our clients commit to their goals. If a client repeatedly misses a session, ask if perhaps we should reassess their schedule and create a plan that would be easier to commit to. Read more on Group Training – More Tips!…
