More importantly, why do most trainers quit after only 18 months while only a miniscule few go on to be-come millionaires?

Well, after seven years of speaking to bootcamp operators and outdoor PTs nearly every day I noticed 5 be-haviours that separate the successful trainers from those who struggle to get by.

And that’s what we’re going to talk about today.

How To Make a Fortune as a

Group Outdoor Personal Trainer Why do most personal trainers and fitness professionals find it so hard to make a living?

After all, we help people to live longer and happier lives! Surely that is the most valuable thing any human being can offer?

And when you consider that we can help hundreds if not thousands of people in our community every year, it follows that personal train-ers deserve to earn a heck of a lot more money than they do.

So how come most of us barely make minimum wage?

It’s Actually Really Simple If you want to do considerably better than your competition, then you must stop acting like them and model the behaviours of those who manage to achieve extraordinary results. Success is just a matter of replacing old, bad habits with new, better ones.

It’s not all about how hard you work, it’s about who you become while doing so.

Adopting the following habits will make you more successful, no doubt about it.

#1 Always Deliver An Amazing Fitness Experience

Is there anything more important than this?

You simply cannot afford to turn up with a vague bunch of exercise ideas that you got from Youtube or some random internet page the night before.

Put some serious thought into it. Plan out programs well in advance and create engaging workouts that actually contribute to the objectives of your training plan.

This is the single biggest difference between clients making genuine gains (and referring their friends) or simply going through the motions, becoming bored and leaving.

If you are not currently investing at least as much time preparing and reviewing training sessions as you are delivering them, then you are doing your clients and your business a huge disservice.

Every successful trainer makes the commitment to do this properly. You will be miles ahead of your competi-tors by doing just this one thing right.

#2 Be a Role Model

Become the change that you wish to see in others.

In other words, train hard.

Get results for yourself.

Enter fun runs.

Train outside when it’s raining.

Eat clean.

You will inspire others to change far more readily by becoming the person they want to be rather than just talking about it.

Be mindful that you are a leader of fitness in your community. How do you imagine such a person would be-have? That’s how you act at all times, right?

#3 Invest In Your Education

You absolutely must understand the science behind creating and delivering fitness programs for groups.

Different exercise modalities do different things to your body

If you throw together random drills and set/rep schemes in the same workout and hope for the best it will always produce mediocre results in the long run. (This is what 95% of civilian bootcamp operators do by the way).

By understanding energy systems and some basic GPP principles, you will be able to create purposeful workout programs that far exceed the results of those “what can I throw at them today” trainers.

It’s really important to understand this so that you can…

#4 Implement What You Know

“To know and not to do is not to know.” - Stephen Covey (from the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

It’s not enough to read a book or attend a seminar. You actually have to act on that information.

By reading just one book a month and applying one principle each time, you will make enormous progress and stand head and shoulders above mediocre (ie. poor) trainers.

Time is going to pass anyway and if you are not moving forward you will be left behind.

Actually doing what you know is the difference that’s makes a difference.

Sadly, not enough personal trainers take enough of the right action.

#5 Add massive value

Under-promise and over-deliver to achieve long term success. Again, this about what you actually do rather than what you say you do. Your income is a function of how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

It is too easy to shout “we are the best” on Facebook. It’s amazing how many trainers try this and wonder why no one believes them.

Here’s why: it’s also easy to show us the ‘social proof’ of your work!

So get going and pour your energy into creating something of genuine value.

Your clients will do the shouting for you when you get it right (or wrong).

And a final time-saving tip: Stop trawling the internet looking for free workouts and random drills.

They can never deliver results on their own because they are not set in the context of a properly planned training program.

Instead, save time and grow your reputation by investing in a carefully researched group outdoor fitness

program that has been proven to work on real groups of people.
