Pages from the Personal Trainers Startup Guide.
Qualifying as a personal trainer is the straightforward part — building a sustainable business around it requires more structure than most new PTs expect. This guide covers REPs registration, public liability insurance, HMRC Self Assessment as a self-employed PT, pricing gym-floor, outdoor, and online sessions, managing client contracts and cancellation policies, building an initial client base, and the cash flow realities of growing from five clients to a full diary.
Covers registration, PT insurance, gym partnerships, REPs/CIMSPA registration, and building your first client base
Includes a first-90-days checklist covering the steps from qualified to fully booked — in a realistic order
Addresses the decisions that trip new PTs up: employed vs self-employed, gym floor vs independent, pricing your first sessions
