**The fitness landscape is changing** and many personal trainers moving to online training. Training virtually comes with many perks, but it may seem harder than ever to motivate clients through a screen. That’s
why we’ve collected some of the best ways to help increase client motivation online.

 

![Intro](/blog/pics/motivation.jpg)

 

# 1. Social Media

 
Arguably one of the most important ways to motivate your clients, is through social
media. Studies from the University of Pennsylvania Annenberg School for Communication
confirm that social media plays a significant role in client motivation. Luckily,
you won’t need to reel people in, as most of your clients already spend majority
of their free time browsing Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Youtube. Some proven
methods to increase engagement and motivation on social media include:

 

- Make online support groups
- Connect with your niche audience
- Answer questions
- Comment on client goals

Social media is the most **time-efficient and direct** way to increase your client motivation.

 

# 2. Explain in More Detail

 

Using social media alone will not motivate your clients to be the best version of
themselves. According to the Journal “Information Systems Research” published in
2019 people using social media are more motivated but fail more often than a group
that does not use social media at all. The reason being that the group motivated
from social media set goals that have unrealistic expectations. Many fitness trainers
fall victim to this trap, posting only the best parts of training, and showing the
end results. This can create false expectation.

Be sure to always explain thoroughly the work your client needs to put in to achieve
their intended outcomes. Help them set realistic goals and keep track of the progress.
Furthermore, deeper explanation of certain exercises and diets can help clients have
a better understanding of what you require from them and why. Some clients need to
understand an exact scientific explanation why they are going on a diet, or why they
need to go on a walk, this helps to assure themselves that’s its worth it. Here is an article to help explain weight loss to someone using math <a href="https://phros.ca/blog/how-to-explain-to-someone-smart-how-weight-loss-works" target="_blank"> Highschool Physics & Weight Loss</a>

# 3. Fitness Challenges

 
The biggest loss when switching from in person training to online training is the
sense of community the client feels from group sessions or gyms. Creating online
fitness challenges encourages more interaction within your client circle as well
as some healthy competition.

When starting a challenge create a structure that is easy to follow and keep track
of. Divide goals into small, achievable challenges, targets should be easy to hit
for your clients. The instant gratification from completing these small tasks will
help keep clients confident and happy to fulfill their larger goals.

 

# 4. Use Personal Training Apps and Websites

 
Online training has the advantage of access to online resources 24/7, be sure to
use it during your sessions. Interactive websites can help add more to the fitness
experience. Some apps help you directly communicate with clients, manage their diet,
and keep track of their weight. A website like Phros can streamline your payment
processes and help your clients easily buy your courses and programs giving them
a sense of accomplishment with every program they complete.

# Key Takeaways

 

Motivation comes from persistent effort, mindfulness of client goals, reward systems
and maintain positive communication throughout the process.

Keeping a client motivated is the best way to help them achieve their goals but also
achieve yours. Project yourself on your online social medias and be sure not to cut
corners when explaining anything to your clients.

## Highschool Physics & Weight Loss

 

Over the years you’ve probably heard of many things, Keto diet, Slow Carb Diet, “Juice-cleanse”, intermittent fasting, etc. As a health and fitness coach, you’ve probably had your clients telling you that they’ve either tried these diets and they’ve worked or tried them and have had no results.
 
The basis of losing weight comes down to what you’ve probably heard Biolayne say, and a multitude of other fitness/nutrition coaches say – it all comes down to caloric intake. Let’s start off with a little physics lesson – the principle of conservation of energy.
 
 
Conservation refers to something which does not change. Meaning that in an equation, the two sides of an equation must equate to one another. In physics (mechanical problems) when we look at a closed system we’ll get an equation like such:

<img alt = "Conservation of Energy & Weight Loss" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/phros-dev-ddfdb.appspot.com/o/phros%2Fenergy-balance.PNG?alt=media&token=2ad4e738-3263-4cd3-b4b5-5db70c8a749a" />

This may look like gibberish, but the premise is that energy before is equal to energy after plus some extra heat in the process. Putting this in extremely basic fitness terms, you have three equations:

- (1) ** Basic Metabolic Rate + Workouts – Food Intake = 0 **
<div>
Equation (1) is for someone who isn’t losing any weight.
</div>
 

- (2) ** Basic Metabolic Rate + Workouts – Food Intake = X **
<div>
Equation (2) is for someone losing weight, X indicates that they have “extra calories” left.
</div>
 

- (3) ** Basic Metabolic Rate + Workouts – Food Intake = -X **
<div>
Equation (3) is for someone gaining weight, -X indicated they have gone over their caloric intake.
</div>

 
The main point to drive home to your smart client is that the values of X, whether positive or negative must come from somewhere. If your client is wondering why they’re losing weight, the extra calories (X) come from their body (hence why you lose fat). If your client is gaining weight, the extra calories (-X) gets stored in their body.
 
 
So, the next time your “smart” client has no idea why they’re not losing weight, or that they want to do a diet – explain it to them in “smart” terms with the law of conservation of energy.
 
 

** Please note, there are many extra details when it comes down to conversation of energy that we did not account for in this article. But this is the simplest way (high-school level simple) to explain weight loss to a reasonably smart individual. **

The basis of losing weight comes down to what you’ve probably heard Biolayne say, and a multitude of other fitness/nutrition coaches say – it all comes down to caloric intake. This article explores the basic principle of the conservation of energy with weight loss.

#### How to sell training sessions, workout programs, or classes with The Sales Funnel.
 

Whether you’re selling workout programs, 1-1 client sessions, live classes (I.e. via Zoom), in-person group classes, etc. you’re going to need a sales funnel that will help take your customers from discovery to purchase.
 

There are three main stages in every sales funnel:
1.	Awareness
2.	Consideration
3.	Decision

The awareness stage is when customers discover your business.

The consideration stage is when a customer shows interest in your product.

The decision stage is when the customer decides to either purchase or sell a product or service from you.

We can breakdown this funnel further into the following categories when referencing either your Instagram page, website, or other places where your business is listed:
1.	Visit
2.	Lead
3.	Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)
4.	Sales Qualified Lead (SQL)
5.	Opportunity
6.	Customer
 
 

In the Visit stage, a customer discovers your business. In order to get people to this stage we try to do everything that will drive Top of Funnel. For example, this could be consistently posting on social media, writing blog posts (why we’re writing this one 😉), running paid ads, etc. While this stage is really important, as an online health and fitness coach you can get consumed trying to do this that you forget about the next stages.
 
The second stage is the Lead stage. After a customer has discovered your business, you want to capture their contact information in any way possible OR you want to get them to the point where it’s easy enough to learn about your product and add a product or service to their cart (i.e. when selling a live class or course, it’s the intent of “adding to cart”).
 
 
The following two stages MQL (marketing qualified lead) and SQL (sales qualified lead), are typically after you’ve collected information and you are in contact with your customer. In these stages you want to have a prepared list of questions that verifies whether these leads are actually good customers for you (I.e. If they don’t want to pay or are a student and don’t have enough money to pay for a session, this may not be a good fit for you).
 
 
After verifying or vetting your customer we get to the opportunity stage. At this stage, you have a potential client, but you need to nudge them a little bit to get them to make a purchase. This stage could mean selling a product that doesn’t cost as much (I.e. 3 workout sessions at a discounted rate OR 1 free group class, etc.), or selling the full product. Either way, you know that your customer is going to receive a tremendous amount of value after making a purchase – so do everything that you can to get yourself there whether creating a sales pitch, showing more client testimonials, letting them talk to an existing client, etc.
 
 
At Phros, our goal is to empower you throughout this entire funnel. Here’s how Phros relates to the three main stages:
 
 

1.	**Awareness:** At Phros you get your own website specific to your needs as an online health and fitness coach. This gives customers the ability to discover you, and gives you a professional edge against your competitors.
 
 
2.	**Consideration:** At Phros, we give you the tools you need to sell live-classes, in-person classes, workout programs, and on-demand videos all through your website. After a customer discovers your site, they’ll have the ability to check out each and every service you offer. This gives them the opportunity to learn more about you and your business.
 
 
3.	**Decision:** With Phros, customers can make a purchase directly online. After discovering your site and considering the products/services you have, they can make a purchase directly through your site whether it’s a live class, in-person class, training program, nutrition program, on-demand video, etc.
 

Phros is your sales funnel 24/7 – software that will work for you, even when you’re sleeping.

Whether you’re selling workout programs, 1-1 client sessions, live classes (I.e. via Zoom), in-person group classes, etc. you’re going to need a sales funnel that will help take your customers from discovery to purchase. This blog post will give you an overview of the sales funnel you need for your online health & fitness business!

The Sales Funnel for Online Health & Fitness Instructors

### So, you want to start your own business?

Being your own boss, making your own money. Sounds good right? Starting your own personal fitness business is exciting, imagining a new career with a world of possibility. That excitement can very easily be turned into stress when you actually **start** taking the first steps towards your goals rather than just visualizing it.

Hopefully, with this article, you can organize your thoughts and begin the journey
of starting the personal fitness business you always imagined. This article is filled
with resources I collected over time from podcasts, other personal trainers, webinars,
interviews, courses, and my own experience. I collected all these resources from
all over the internet, so you don’t have to. Enjoy.

 

### The Name

Let’s start with something easy, the name. Feel free to skip this step
if you already have a name in mind. As a personal trainer there is always the option
of creating a brand around your given name, (James Smith Fitness) always a good option.
If you’re looking for something different, try [Namelix](https://namelix.com/). It is an online software
that lets you put in key words and select a bunch of filters to find the perfect
name.

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/NameOne.png)

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/NameTwo.png)

 

### Branding (Colours)

Next, the brand. This may be new to some trainers that mainly
trained in person. Having uniform colours wasn’t the biggest deal. On social media,
cohesive brand image is **70%** of what garners you attention online. [Coolers](https://coolors.co/) makes
it quick and easy to create a colour scheme AND export the colour codes out to be
used in other designs (big plus!). The software lets you lock in colours that you
like and then generates the rest using colour theory.

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/BrandOne.png)

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/BrandTwo.png)

 

### Setting your Target Audience

Arguably the most important step in any business, also the one that is most overlooked, solidifying your target audience. Once you have a clear vision who you are targeting, life gets a lot easier. There are less unknowns and you are more confident in the direction you would like to grow. The best way to have a clear target audience is to create a user persona. [HubSpot’s persona maker](https://www.hubspot.com/make-my-persona) is the easiest and most visually pleasing one that I found. This Software is used in all sorts of business’s, so some of the features do not apply to PT clients. Luckily, you can edit this to your liking.

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/Persona.png)

 

### Social Media content

Making social media content is hard, not only that it is also time consuming. As a personal trainer who also runs their own business it can become difficult to balance. Sadly, I do not have a resource that can make this problem disappear, but I do have two resources that that can help speed up the process.

Firstly, there is [Right Relevance](https://www.rightrelevance.com/), this is a website that allows you to find trending posts/news articles/stories of any topic you like. This is incredibly useful when creating any sort of content and you are looking for an idea to write about. Just search your topic and find what people are interested in right now.

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/MediaOne.png)

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/MediaTwo.png)

 

Next, we have the [Hemingway app](https://hemingwayapp.com/). This website is the ultimate editing tool, taking into account readability, phrasing, and voice. It is very useful for blog posts (Used on this Blog post!) and even lets you know the grade level of your writing (Grade 6!). This software can help you get well edited content out quickly.

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/Heming.png)

 

### Launching the Website (WooHoo!)

So, you have a great name, cohesive branding, clear target audience, and you have a social media following, what now. Now is time to start funneling the people who are interested in you and your brand to your actual business. It’s time to create a website. A website is your digital fitness studio. You sell online classes, training programs, nutritional programs or whatever you want to give to the world. [Phros](https://phros.ca/) is a website that is an all-in-one package for personal trainers. It helps you create your website that is focused on fitness features such as online classes and programs. Did I mention its free to start?

![Namelix](/blog/Free%20resources/Phros.png)

 

There is also a great blog post about other website building software [here](https://phros.ca/blog/how-to-launch-website-for-health-or-fitness-business).

 

### Extra

Here are a few more helpful resources as a personal trainer

A couple weeks ago we had a conversation with the amazing Magda Banas! It was an absolute pleasure getting to interview Magda, and we’re excited to share the notes with you today.
 
But before we do that, let’s talk a little bit about who she is and her journey to become a personal trainer. Magda has been an athlete her whole life, she did many extracurriculars growing up, the main ones included dance, gymnastic, and taekwondo. After graduating from high-school Magda went on to pursue Kinesiology at McMaster University. She was hyper-focused her first year of school which caused her to put her health & fitness on the backburner – but she quickly realized the negative impact this had on her and quickly picked it back up - getting into some conditioning, and eventually competing in bikini fitness contests. After graduating from McMaster, she got accepted to a variety of schools to become a physiotherapist, however after getting offered a job at Lady The F Up (A personal coaching company), it became more clear that her passion was in training and helping others. This was evident as Magda had always been a coach her whole life, from teaching dance, being a Taekwondo instructor, and consistently volunteering.
 
 
As an online personal trainer, Magda mainly focused on body recomposition and fat loss. Body recomposition is the process of losing fat around the same rate as building muscle. As most know, this is especially hard to do, but Magda can help her clients do so by adjusting macronutrients and factoring in the right amount of resistance training and cardio. Magda’s next goal is to hit a $30K revenue month, and to continually learn to become better at communicating and to take her skill to the next level.
 
 

##### **Cool/Interesting Facts about Magda:**
- Magda’s **AMAZING** breakfast consists of 3 rice cakes with jam, almond butter, and tilapia!! Talk about a healthy and nutritious breakfast.
- She doesn’t drink coffee but likes to stick to Green tea.
 
 

##### **What does your morning routine look like?**
Magda’s morning routine starts at 5am. After waking up, she showers, gets right into her workout clothes, makes her unreal breakfast, and works on her business (making/modifying training programs for clients, checking in on messages, or working on content). After that she hits the gym at around 6:45 for an hour and a half (on a rest day she walks and stretches).
 

##### **How did you get started with personal training?**
She was always a coach in some capacity throughout her whole life (dance, Taekwondo, various volunteering positions, etc.). After completing Kinesiology at McMaster University, she got offered a job to coach at Lady The F Up where she got deeper into personal training.
 

##### **What purchase of $100 or less in the past year has had the most positive impact on your ability to be a personal trainer?**
A Ring Light! Magda highly values a Ring Light, especially being an online coach since it helps her record higher quality videos that she can share with her clients.
 

##### **How did you get your first customer?**
Her first customer was through her Instagram hashtags (#ibetyoudidntguessthat). This client ended up finding her through a hashtag that Magda used when posting about her fitness journey, and promptly sent her a DM. After getting in touch, they had an open and candid conversation, continually talking for about a week before Magda was able to close the sale.
 

##### **How did you get your first five customers?**
Magda’s first five customers were from a combination of Instagram, Reddit (she did get some backlash on Reddit), and from her own network of friends. When posting on social media (namely Reddit) she posted a transformation and explained body recomposition openly.

While that was how she got her five customers, most of her existing customers are from a referral basis. When friends of friends see the results they're able to achieve with Magda, it’s an easy decision to get her expertise in body recomposition.

<ImageGrid
 images = {["/images/blog_assets/magda-3.jpg", "/images/blog_assets/magda-4.jpg",]}
/>

##### **What made you choose online personal training vs. in-person?**
Working online means that you can work with a wide range of people around the world. Magda explained that people have 24 hours in a day, and as an online-personal trainer, she can help continuously throughout the day (not just the 1 hour she would do as an in-person personal trainer).
 

##### **As an online health & fitness coach, what are your top tips for social media?**
- Post everyday and start using reels and TikToks (people like quick content)
- Be active on Facebook.
- Most importantly, BE YOURSELF! Don’t try to be an influencer, cause you’re not, and if you try to be, people will catch on that you’re not being genuine.
 
 

##### **How do you keep your clients motivated?**
Magda says that there are so many ways to keep your clients motivated, but it really depends on the client. Though one thing she has noticed is that clients stay motivated when they see their own progress, and so she reminds them that the needle (on the scale) may not move everyday but one day they’ll wake up and see themselves in a new light – and that’s when they’ll be hooked. Another way she helps to keep clients motivated is to continually check up with them (one of the important things to do as an online health & fitness instructor).
 

##### **What is the best/worst investment you’ve made?**
Worst Investment: Apple Watch (not as accurate), would prefer to get the Whoop band.
 

##### **Who’s a health or fitness instructor that you look up to?**
- Amer Kamra
- Everyone in <a href="https://www.ladythefup.com/" target="_blank">Lady The F Up</a> (it’s a community that’s constantly supported her).
 

##### **What’s a message that you would want to get out to a billion people & why?**

>
> **“Become the best version of yourself, with Lady The F Up”.**
>

Magda says that you have to become the best version of yourself so that you can be the best version for everyone around you. If you are mentally in a bad state, feeling like a victim, you can’t be there for your family and can’t build strong memories and relationships with others.

A conversation with Magda Banas that covers a good majority of her day-to-day life as an online fitness coach. In this post we go over how Magda got started, how she got her first clients, her top tips for social media, keeping her clients motivated, and many more topics!

Being an online health & fitness coach can be tough, especially when starting out (like most things in life). Today at Phros, we’re highlighted three points that will help you succeed as a personal trainer. Please note, we found that these notes aren’t just specific to personal trainers, but also if you’re a health professional, wellness coach, or really just starting off with a new business.
 

### Start with Friends & Family:
 
When you’re starting off, you need all the support you can get. Not only do you need the testimonials for new clients to be interested in you, but you need to learn how to talk with customers, and to fine-tune your coaching based on your clients needs. The best and easiest place to start here is with your friends and family circle. Reach out to family, your brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. to see if anyone would be interested in being your client. Once you’ve exhausted those options, reach out to your circle of friends (don’t just make a post asking if people want you as their trainer) and gather as many clients as you can. Whether you’re doing this initially for free or not is fine, the important thing here is so that you start building a community of people who trust you as a trainer. Not only will this make you more confident in your teachings, but it will also make other potential clients more trusting of you and will expand your network through the network of your friends & family.
 
 

### Seek Guidance:
 
Most of us probably neglect this point. Guidance and mentorship is what you’re doing for a living, so why not reach out for your own? What we’ve found is that people love to help. If there are people that you admire, respect, and look up to in your life – reach out to them. If they’ve attained a goal that you want to get to, then seek out mentorship. We’ve found that people are actually a lot more willing to help than you may think, so reach out and find a mentor that you can follow. If they say no, worst case scenario, you’re just expanding your network and growing stronger by putting yourself out there.
 
 

### Find Sticky Channels:
 
Face it, those Facebook or Instagram ads really don’t work too well for the majority of us (unless you have viral content, and in that case kudos to you). There are a lot of common channels that people use to get their service out which include Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. What we’ve found is that these channels can get very saturated at times. So, open your mind a bit, and see what other marketing channels you can leverage whether that’s a clinic down the street where you can put up your flyers, a partnership with a local soccer team, a booth that you can setup at a community event, or whatever else. The important thing here is to test out various channels to see what sticks for you.

Starting off as an online health & fitness coach can be hard. In this article we highlight three points to help you succeed as an online health or fitness coach.

** Introducing the new Phros free tier. **


Over the past couple of months we've worked with and talked with various personal trainers & health professionals.
 

One thing that we've noted and heard is that it can be quite difficult to break into the space and get started. While we do
take a small fee per month, we understand that this can still be quite difficult for some individuals and so today
we're introducing the new Phros free tier.
 

The new Phros free tier is the same as our previous basic plan. To be transparent the way that we make our money is from the 9% + $0.30
transaction fee which helps us keep your website and resources up (and our lights on).
 

With the free tier, you'll be subscribed to a plan of $0 per month. As a fitness or health professional you get to select from
one of our features (Live Classes/In-Person Classes, On-Demand Videos, or Workout Program Building). In addition, you'll get
your own custom webite under our Phros domain.
 

That's pretty much it! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at [support@phros.ca](mailto:support@phros.ca).

Today marks a new day with Phros, the introduction of our new Free tier! If you're a beginner in the fitness industry & need to get started, check us out!

An Affordable way to Build your Health or Fitness Business

**A short comparison between custom builds, squarespace, shopify, wix, and Phros.**
 

As a personal trainer, fitness instructor, yoga instructor, Zumba instructor, etc. starting a website can be quite difficult – I mean think about it, people spend a significant amount of time learning how to code and build websites, and here you are trying to figure out how to launch yours in a matter of days or weeks. So, I guess in this era we really have to be thankful for all the various solutions there are for building and launching your fitness or personal training website online. Some of these solutions include WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, and the list goes on. Today I’ll give a brief overview of Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, getting a custom website built, and our personal (biased) favourite, Phros.
 

#### Custom Websites
Let’s get this out of the way first. If you’re going to hire someone to build your website, you better have deep pockets and technical knowledge. Getting a custom-built website is no easy task, it requires on-going management, and usually an extensive amount of time before your site would be ready to use. On the bright side, you can get your website built EXACTLY to what you require. IMO if you’re willing to do this, just make sure you go through a design process with the developer before diving into the project.
 

#### Squarespace
Squarespace was initially one of our favorites because of how easy it was to use. Squarespace has pre-built templates (amazing templates tbh) that are easy to use and customize. They also make it simple to sell products online. If you’re trying to run a smaller scale ecommerce store, or just to launch a site to blog then Squarespace might be the right choice for you.
 

#### Shopify
Shopify was built as an ecommerce powerhouse. When paying for a Shopify account you get access to templates and have the option to purchase other templates from the marketplace. What’s amazing about the marketplace is there are various apps built within their marketplace that you can leverage on your Shopify site (however these can come at an extra cost). Shopify was built for individuals who are running massive ecommerce businesses.
 

#### Wix
Wix has the same capabilities as Squarespace and Shopify, but the biggest difference is with their drag and drop editor which makes it easy to create custom page elements. With Wix you can move elements (like a Title) over by one pixel. So it really gives you the freedom to create your own custom site. Wix also has the ecommerce capabilities, so use this if you’re looking for that custom site with the ability to sell products.
 

** The downside: **
While all three of these options are potential solutions you can use to build a website, where it gets challenging as a fitness instructor or a personal trainer is creating a site that enables you to run your business – not one that drags you down and requires more time or more technical knowledge. When it comes down to managing live classes, in-person classes, bootcamps, uploading on-demand videos, creating online workout programs, etc. all through your website with a portal where customers can access everything they’ve paid for … well that can get really difficult to setup. Setting all those features up takes some thorough technical understanding, and quite frankly takes a lot of time. As a fitness instructor, personal trainer, yoga instructor, etc. you need all the time you can get so that you can focus on your clients and worry less about the technical side of things – and that’s why (shameless plug) we built Phros.
 

#### Phros
Phros is an all-in-one tool for managing your online fitness business. If you’re looking to launch your fitness website, don’t waste time trying to figure out what website building tool to use because there’s a lot of other components (managing live classes, on-demand videos, bootcamps, in-person classes, workout programs, etc.) that you’ll need to account for as well (and this can take some serious technical knowledge).
 

When you sign up for Phros, you get your own website with templates that you can mix-and-match to create your own custom site, and we handle the hosting so that you don’t have to. On top of this, Phros takes care of many other aspects related to your fitness or personal training business including the selling/managing of live classes, bootcamps, on-demand videos, workout programs, client memberships, etc. Our mission is to enable you so that you can spend less time with all the little technical stuff, and more time with your clients … I mean wouldn’t it be pretty damn nice not to worry about chasing down clients for e-transfers, sending out reminders, setting up a website, etc.?

There are many different options when it comes to building a website. This blog post is a comparison between some options like squarespace, shopify, wix, and our favourite Phros.
