advice on scheduling clients
I’m new to the personal trainer world and am not sure how to go about scheduling clients without my schedule seeming disjointed and chaotic. Right now, my appts are sprinkled throughout the day/week and, with the other fitness classes i’m teaching and my family’s schedule… it just seems really chaotic. I would love to hear what other pt’s have done with scheduling.
Hi Eileen,
Welcome to the world of Personal Training – where scheduling can be a nightmare. Unfortunately, most people want to train 5 – 9AM and late in the afternoon, into the evening. And let’s not forget about weekends! It’s definitely tough in the beginning since you don’t want to turn down work. Once you start getting established and picking up more clients, your schedule should start to take shape. Then you have to decide where to draw the line as far as your availability goes. If people really want to work with you, it’s amazing how flexible their schedule can become. Good luck Eileen.
