Default Starting a Bootcamp

Hey everyone, I've been wanting to start a bootcamp for a while, i was just wondering what bases I needed to cover to make it happen? Right now I have a business license and a fictitious business name. I'm just uncertain of the insurance policies for a bootcamp biz, as well as any needed certifications. Considering I'm planning on having other trainers train the classes. Any info from anyone would be appreciated

Hi there, I am currently a part of a ning community that is all about personal trainers and there's also a group for bootcamps. There are a lot of helpful people there and you can ask any question and have it answered in a few minutes.

Here is the link:

I also bought this set of audio the other day and I've listened to all of them. There's a lot of great ideas in here:

I plan to have my bootcamp running in two months so I've been researching this stuff a lot lately.

Good luck!

So now you want to promote your products and make money off my site? Instead of leading people off to your respective sites people how about posting some of those great ideas? Start promoting your stuff after you have helped a bunch of people and have earned some credibility in here.

I just started one 2 months ago. Trainer insurance, plenty of waivers, a ton of energy.

A boot camp is a great way to earn income. While insurance is important, make sure that you evaluate how you're going to market the boot camp. Who are your customers? What are their likes and dislikes? Once you know what your customer's needs are, you will be able to tailor all of your marketing efforts toward attracting them.

Bootcamps are great, I have run several here in the UK with a great deal of sucsess!

I work with my group exercise insurance and my CPT qualification. May be a little different in the US though!
