What we'll cover

Five parts. Four hours. No fluff.

A working session, not a lecture — every part is built around decisions you'll actually have to make in your first years as a coach.

Part 1

The reality of the fitness industry

  • Where the industry is right now — the job roles that actually exist
  • Employed vs self-employed, offline vs online, small group PT and beyond
  • Honest expectations for your first two to five years
Part 2

Becoming a great coach

  • Communication skills that separate good coaches from average ones
  • Building trust — the coach–client relationship
  • Long-term results and why retention matters more than acquisition
Part 3

Building the business

  • Finding your niche
  • Pricing accordingly — selling without guilt
  • Running consultations that convert
  • Organisation and time management
Part 4

Marketing that works

  • Personal branding
  • Social media and content that actually attracts clients
  • Building authority in a saturated market
Part 5

Professional development — what to do next

  • CPD and where to take your qualifications from here
  • Networking within the industry
  • Finances and taxes as a self-employed coach
  • Long-term work–life balance

Secure your seat.

One morning that could save you years of trial and error. Places are limited by the room — when it's full, it's full.
