Start Your Own Personal Training Business: Your Step-By-Step Guide to Success

A nice little 45 minute read on all the basics of a personal trainer business. Certainly not your guide to writing your business plan BUT it does pretend to be. A very good overview of the pieces that need to come together. A good read John Gregory Vincent [...] The "CURE" for the Common Workplace

I found this book to be a great read. Very well-written, easy to read-nice and to the point. I really liked the real life examples they reference in the book. They have real life stories of personal trainers and how they started out in the industry. The book gives a great side by side comparison of a personal trainer starting their own studio vs. a trainer starting out with an in-home business. The only thing keeping this from a 5, in my opinion, is they don't really do into detail about the "next step." For example, you need to obtain a business license, permit etc., but they do not go into any details. But there are other books out there for this. I would also recommened reading Personal Training for Dummies, they go into great detail about how to really launch your business, and what exactly you will need.

We enjoyed this book as it provided up with information that helped us make a decision on whether to pursure a career in the fitness industry. I would recommend it.
