You can try to get the clients yourself (and keep the ALL the money), once the initail sessions are over through the service. HOWEVER, you probbaly will end up signing a "non-compete agreement" with the service stating that you promise not to take clients away for personal gain.

What I used to do years ago...is I would get clients and recommend that a "trainer friend" of mine would train them in their homes using MY programs. I woudl follow up with the client through phone or e-mail, but my trainer-friend would go to the house to carry out my exericse prescription. The client paid $65 a session and I paid the trainer $25. I kept the rest...simply to make a weekly call and answer e-mails. I stopped working like this becuase I missed the interaction and I need to "be there" to take repsonsibility.
