Personal Trainer & Motivational Speaker
Self Employed
Total years of experience :15 years, 8 Months
I have been in charge of my own company for the past 8 years. Responsible for every aspect of the businesses success. Growing the company from zero, to turning over 80-120, 000 per year. I started from scratch twice, once in 2008 when entering the industry and again in 2012 when I moved to a potentially more affluent area with high profile clientele available. This is where I achieved the largest levels of growth. Starting month 1 with no clients to earning 4-5, 000 per month with the first 6 weeks. Propelling the company further to becoming the busiest Personal Trainer in Cheshire, performing over 14, 000 hours of Personal Training in 4 years.
My principle business has been Personal Training private clients. This would include everything from client acquisition through phone calls, gym floor interaction and relationship building. I swiftly positioned myself as one of the best in the area therefore attracting a number of high profile clients and developed a niche working with Premier League footballers. My ability to develop great relationships and high levels of influence has given me a number of great opportunities.
Flying out to Florida 3 times and talking on motivation and nutrition.
Consulting to large companies in the UK such as Affiliate Window and Worldwide Recruitment Solutions.
Teaching The Success Principles to schools students and staff both here and in US.
Being flown to Memphis to work with a clients family members after achieving great results.
Speaking numerous times on BBC radio and doing a video for their site.
Writing for Hale & Bowdon Magazine
These to name a few. The day to day running of a personal training business requires great organisation. Being up to date with all clients programming as well having impeccable time keeping and customer service. Another important factor within the business is client retention. Delivering consistently excellent customer service has meant I have had clients for years along with a large referral rate from my clients.
I have also sold nutritional supplements as part of the business. In more recent years I have developed into motivational speaking. Learning off 2 of the best in the world, Jack Canfield and Brian Tracy. I am training to become a Human Potential Trainer with Jack, and I am a member of the Professional Speakers Association.
This new venture is the most exciting to date. I have delivered a number of seminars teaching subjects such as goal setting, increasing confidence and boosting sales. With great feedback! I perform confidently in front of corporate clients and I am able to help them develop their teams and employees to boost productivity and profitability.
