How do you get people to go for this model rather than, say, 1 training session per week and on their own the rest of the week? What on earth do you offer in value for 3/week? (not a dig, just curious).
I don't want to be rude at all, but you should research things a bit more. That is a very competitive rate for training, considering i drive to the clients home, set up a meal plan, throw different exercises at them every workout and most of all motivate them to do something that they wouldnt do on their own at all.

This sadly is not something for the poor or needy. This is an upscale business. I worked at a YMCA for many years and helped a lot of people...by doing so I was poor myself. Was this a waste of time? NO I love helping people, but I also must make a living. If you look on this site you will see rates ranging all over the board, but 65 per is about middle of the road for training. Sadly people do need at least 2 sessions per week for great results, with 3 being optimal. JP had a fantastic idea about the buy 10 get 2 free, which comes out to 50 per.

P.S. I also offer group training, with 6 or more clients they can workout for 20 per and get support from each other as well, so i throw different options at them that are more affordable.
