Hi everybody,
I've been lurking on here for quite some time and I've been trying to be a personal trainer for the last year. I have a training background, but have really struggled with keeping a consistent client base. It seems like the amound of work I put into the business side of personal training, doesn't corespond with with amount of clients I'm training. It seems like one week I may have 20 to 30 paid sessions, and the next I'm struggling to get 10-15. How do trainers who have been around long term, psychologically deal with the ups and downs of basically owning your own business? Honestly, I don't know how much longer I can stay in the industry as a personal trainer.
