Tomas,

Trade shows are the best place to network in the health and fitness industry.

Here are a few that come to mind:

IDEA Conference
IHRSA / NEHRSA (for New England)
ABC conference
Club Industry Trade Show
Motionsoft Technology Summit

Best,

RB

Get involved in the community, join clubs and look for part time work at various Gyms.
Look for business networking clubs and consider starting a class and posting it on Meetups.com

I’m with Sue! NY is a big city with many opportunities to meet people and grow your business. Good luck to you.

The first place I would start is to see if there are fb groups in your area for personal trainers who do what you do. I know of several fitness communities in your area but they are for dance fitness formats, but I’m sure if you use the right search terms, you’ll find there is already networking going on in your area.

Linked In is also a good place to start meeting others in your field. Once you meet a couple of people who do what you do and link with them, it opens you to the possibility of connecting with their shared connections. I’ve met several solid business contacts this way.

Hello Tomas Milian,
You are in a highly populated area; so, you should not have too much difficulty drumming up business. You could also wear your logo clothing everywhere you go. The best place to network is everywhere; try to bring your expertise up in conversation.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
