The Top 10 Ways To Get New Online Personal Training Clients (Part 1)

In this engaging and energetic episode of 'How To Become A Personal Trainer,' hosts Jordan and Michael dive into Part 1 of their 'Top 10 Ways To Get New Online Personal Training Clients,' ranking strategies from S-tier to F-tier. The episode opens with a humorous and passionate PSA about drivers who illegally occupy the left lane while driving at the speed limit—setting the tone for their candid, no-BS approach. They then launch into their list, with 'Build a strong social media presence with valuable content' earning the top S-tier rating due to its infinite scalability, low cost, and dual benefit of improving both business growth and coaching skills. 'Create lead magnets and freebies' follows as an A-tier strategy, praised for building email lists but deemed secondary to audience-building content. The hosts passionately reject 'structured referral systems' as F-tier, calling them manipulative and damaging to client trust. 'Run low barrier entry offers, challenges, trials, or mini programs' earns a B+ for its effectiveness in converting leads, though it’s noted as time-intensive. 'Optimize your website and Google presence' is upgraded to A-tier in 2026, not for SEO alone but for its role in establishing credibility, enabling formal application processes, and being increasingly favored by AI search agents. The episode ends with a strong call to action for their fitness business mentorship program, emphasizing community fit over profit-driven motives.
