Tough economic times create tough choices for people. When the paycheck comes and it doesn’t cover everything, people reassess what is being paid and what changes can be made to balance the budget. The first things that are removed are what people consider non-essential. What they spend at the gym often falls into that category. Yes, we know how beneficial exercise is for reducing stress, but that doesn’t alter most people’s budgeting decisions. Have you noticed a decrease in the salary of your personal trainer during the last year? Most fitness professionals have. That can be discouraging since that ever-lowering salary is not a reflection of your incredible potential. You may have that you had no control over the situation. I’m here to tell you that you are in control. Now, he faces not just a challenge, but an opportunity. You can either quit or find a way to make it all work. A partnership with Team Beachbody will help you succeed and grow your business.
the last twelve months
During the last twelve months, have you had to reduce your hourly rate just for the opportunity to gain new clients? You’ve probably tried it, but haven’t seen an increase in the number of customers. Has your gym owner decided to take a higher share of the division than you had agreed to? There is no way you can control that. If they can’t pay your bills, you definitely won’t have any income from that gym – it’s closed.
Do customers ask about bartering for their fitness expertise? Bartering is the exception to the rule because you can’t do it for everything you need to live. How about a vacation? Vacations are one of the best ways to recharge and rejuvenate. Not to mention that you work hard and you deserve a vacation. However, you can’t go on vacation if you don’t have the money and come back with fewer clients than when you left. I think you’re getting the big picture. Now is the time to forget how difficult the last twelve months have been and look at the potential you have now. By right now, I mean today!
