“HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE FOR MY TRAINING?” Let’s Explore Everything That Relates to Price In Personal Training …

Posted on 21. Nov, 2008 by Kaiser.

23

How much should you charge for your training sessions? I once heard that price is relative to the cost of everything else on sale in the marketplace – well with Personal Training it gets even more tricky than that. That’s because training is an intangible service that’s highly dependent on the person delivering it [...]

IS PERSONAL TRAINING A BUSINESS OR A PASSION? Walking the line between LOVE and MONEY, LIFESTYLE and SERVICE, WORK and FUN …

Posted on 24. Oct, 2008 by Kaiser.

Is Personal Training a business? I think most people would look at it that way, because most people do it for money … Well I’m here to say it’s not a business – calling it one really misses the point. If you’ve been having trouble with long hours, a lack of money, or low satisfaction, [...]

I got probably the best compliment of my life the other day … It was from a Super-Trainer reader who had just read The Whistleblower Report.

What do porn and Top-Level Training have in common? They’re both hard to define, but you know it when you see it! And I certainly found it (Top-Level Training, not porn) in the training practice of Southern California’s Kettlebell Queen, Lauren Brooks Miller.

ABANDON EVERY HOPE, ALL WHO ENTER HERE …. There isn’t a more dreaded term in Personal Training than BURN-OUT. Think of it as a kind of purgatory where life starts to lose pleasure and meaning, without an end in site. It might sound like I’m exaggerating, but this is a place that a lot of [...]

“Yes, you too can be the next ten million dollar fitness entrepreneur!” In part, Super-Trainer started as an answer to the shameless marketing that’s taken over the fitness industry over the past few years.
