How to make a quality logo for personal training business?

[hudson98]

True story…I began charging business ppl such as attorneys and doctors a contract price to train with me. They would pay half up front and the other half at the 6 week mark on a 12 week training course(if they were coming into my world during gym time I made damn good and sure they paid good money to do it)

One time I had a local attorney meet me at a coffee shop and sign on with me, he paid me $700 that day and the remaining $700 would be due 6 wks into it, he trained with me 1 day and then went awol!!! Easiest $700 I ever made

crazy that people with the intelligence to be lawyers and doctors and drive to go through all that schooling cant figure out how to push, pull ,and put the fork down and would pay for someone to tell them. I think its sort of like those top CEO"S that pay people to shit and piss and degrade them, they just want to be submissive and have some dumb jock make them feel dumb and rip them off lol

Well, I don’t consider myself a dumb jock nor ripping someone off with the knowledge and experience I’m giving them but I’m pretty sure you are speaking in general here (at least I hope), but I do agree with where you’re coming from when it comes to just doing it if you want to change bad enough

 

[Demondosage]

The problem with beginners is they have no comparables since they’re new to it. But I look back a lot of trial and error on myself and realize there are some ppl that can provide knowledge and faster ways to results but it’s not most run of the mill trainers. I think for the 90% of ppl it’s a waste of money, but for the 10% who are going to make changes regardless then it’s worth it to have certain ppl in their corner. Even professional bodybuilders work with ppl sometimes, so I can’t say all trainers here

id argue personal trainers offer very little value to society. if they quit their jobs, all of them, not much would change, not the obesity rate, nothing

A very strange conclusion. In your understanding, only wildly important professions are needed. Doctors, teachers. I hate to read such an opinion.

 

[Hightower]

Making sure to show value it what you offer. There is actually a orientation class on how to do this. There is steps that yield a higher rate of buy in.

I completely agree with what you write, I do not even argue.

Such stories often happen, people pay and do not go. It really is the easiest money.

 

[Hightower]

Yes making sure the people pay up front is how you do it. Because then they feel they either go or lose money.

True remark, money must be taken in advance and only then work. And then you can not see your money

not saying you specifically, but most personal trainers are dumb jocks. I mean the fact they are working that job over a job that pays $$ says something about them. I think you did it at once point but you matured and probably are doing something much more efficient to support yourself know. id assume if you think back of the trainers you see in the gym, not many are intelligent or sucessfull overall

you hate the truth? if the economy crashes, where will people cut back funds? not food, not health care, not taxes, they wont pay for silly little things like some jock to show them a push vs a pull and tell them not to drink soda

 

[malfeasance]

Now, you are going to hear a lot of advice and talk about “keep it professional” between the lonely housewives and yourself, the trainer. They’ll tell you things like not to sleep with them, not to entertain their advances, and this is not good advice to follow at all.

What you really need to do is look at that like a fringe benefit to the job and fuck the everloving shit out of them! A lot of ppl are going to look down on trainers and these women with rich husbands are going to come in and bitch abt the guy and try using you like some sort of therapist. You’re basically some cheap therapist their husband signed them up for while he’s out banging the secretary at work, just something to give them to get into and keep them busy and productive.

Take that vibe of being looked down at, you get that bitch on her knees and make her start looking up to you! Pretty soon you’ll realize that fucking those bitches is one of the only things good abt the job. Hopefully you’ll have some folding cash for a few draft beers or something

I would order a copy of "Memoirs of a Personal Trainer," by Demondosage. Something tells me it would be very entertaining.

If the world collapses and the apocalypse comes, then nothing is needed at all and many professions will not be needed. Only survive. You have a strange associative array.!

I think at least it should be useful.

im not talking end of th world im saying In general if finances become tight and people need to choose whats wroth spending money on, they are probably going to cut out their therapist/trainer/paid training pal. especially if they have been training with them for a few sessions they should essentially know all they need to do know if the trainer Is capable. training isn't rocket science for the advanced let lone 15 percent BF dad bods and women

Well, with such forecasts, a lot of things can happen, but this does not mean that these professions are useless. You are wrong that they are useless. Every profession is important and helps people.

even if someone agreed every profession is important, I you lined them up first to last in terms of importance, personal trainer would be at the bottom or close to it. a profession isn't to help people, its a means to make income. most people who say they did their profession to help people would choose something else if the pay was greatly reduced.

 

[ImHereForBothReasons]

every profession

Because I’m a pedantic asshole: Well, classically, the only professions are medicine, law, and divinity, the rest are trades or offices.

The theme I keep seeing in your interactions is painfully clear: if hudson98 doesn’t like or approve of something then it has no value. For a man that claims not to care what people think, you spend a lot of time policing the thoughts of others.

Good luck with that

Edit: Yeah, most people would choose a different job if theirs didn’t pay enough. Being a personal trainer, on its own, won’t provide a lot of income. We can see that with any entry level job, though. In the same way a waiter can make an income to barely get by, but with experience open up their own bar or make money doing events. A smart man can start as a personal trainer, grow that into his own training gym, coaching new trainers, an online following, etc.

spare us the online wannabe psychologist

you can make money doing anything. the question is, if someone wants to make good money, and they have 20 options to choose from, is going down the path of teaching push pull at the local spunk fitness the best way?

I say no

Each person himself gives meaning to his activity, or all the same, work is only about money. So it's just for everyone in their own way.

Absolutely true thoughts, I agree with you.

Wife was working as personal trainer in Middle East as a side hustle, was easily pulling in $2500 a month by working 2-4 hours a day, 3-5 days a week. She had only female customers (Westerners and Arabs), one-on-one training in people's homes.

To be honest, few customers made much progress, but they could proudly tell their husbands that they signed up with this bad-as-fuck bitch with capped shoulders and biceps, they could proudly tell their friends they're lifting real iron now. It was fun and easy for her, never made easier money in any other job.

Customer attrition was of course high, had to constantly look for new customers. Word of mouth and some discussions on WhatsApp.
