Nik And Ant - Ptma Podcast

How many times a week should i advertise my services? Would you have a client agreement / contract with group coaching clients for a 6 week intake in the same way we do for 1:1? Who is your inspiration? Very general question - Where do you see the fitness industry in 5 years ?

Time; 1:00 I'm redoing my new client onboarding, and want to drop them into an educational email sequence, to drip feed them information about energy balance, protein, DOMS, etc How do I determine what to they need to know and what order things should go in? Time; 4:40 You boys have a frantic March, how are you's going to plan it out? What will be stripped back if need be? How do you go about knowing its about to go nuclear?!

Do you know of any 'all in one' platforms for calendars, landing pages, email lists etc? Or do these tend to be big CRM type platforms aimed at larger companies? What are the main factors to consider before switching target market? If you had to go back to coaching fitness clients again, what would be your demographic/niche and why? What percentage of your time should be spent thinking about the bigger picture? Over for example, the day to day in person business work. I feel like I'm pretty on top of my week to week organization. I prioritize my tasks, plan things out, and book time into my schedule to get things done. However I struggle to find time for the less frequent, monthly tasks. I always end up doing them on my days off. Any advice? Or is it just a case of planning them into my week better/that's how it's gonna be? Running a 'one-off' session such as 'squat workshop' - Upsell to clients or give it as a freebie / perk of the service? On average how l

I really struggle with getting a lead magnet out there before I'm 100% perfectly happy with it - it's just not in my nature! I everything to work how I want it to and don't want it to look/feel crappy and rushed, but I do want it to actually get done. Any advice? I seem to be struggling to talk confidently about my service when I need to fill a space. Even though I have fab feedback from clients and know how I can help. What the fuck is that all about? I have/had a client who finished their month of coaching, said they are going to sign back up, sent their check in the next day (by this point they were no longer on a program). Never mentioned the £ so when I brought it up they ignored, sent a chaser next day, they replied saying they would send the next day and they had "personal" things going on.No Money sent and this was now Wednesday, I replied Thursday saying I hope everything was ok and didn;t mention the money so they didn't think thats all I care about as its not.

Time; 13:37 Client want to go down a package. my prices have changed since she signed up so she was questioning the new price she was on (she had the old prices written down). How can i address this with her? Time; 15:26 A while back there was an email about being a PT back in the year 2000? Back then there weren't any social media like today but, PT's still ran their businesses. The early noughties looked like a wicked time to be alive (I was only 3 years old so I wouldn't know haha) What was it like being a PT, especially on a cruise ship back in the day? I found this very inspiring! Time; 22:39 I offer a small group coaching not just training service, that is as much if not more focused on what happens outside the gym. Other SGPT in the area is just training focused - this makes me appear pricey in comparison. I'm tempted to call this out, not calling out other specific businesses, but how

Time; 12:52 how many hours a day/week should i be working on my business Time; 14:41 How would you deal with a client who only uses a small part of the service but is happy to keep paying for the full experience?

Time; 00:33 How long would you give PT away as a prize? Time; 2:18 how would you approach online group coaching clients enquiring about in person sessions?

I try to have regular touchpoints by reaching out to disengaged clients with a text, but sometimes it doesn't help much. If they've not been using their mon

Time; 00:40 What's the solution when everything is a priority and you don't have enough time to fit everything into your week?! Time; 2:26 How would you navigate sales/marketing during Christmas week off? usually I'd have no issue taking the full week off and letting people book for after but I'm conscious that with the amount of people I'd like in my Jan intake this may not be possible to fit in that first week of Jan, commit to having 1 day available in the week off for calls or have an alternative option?

Thanks! Time : 12:40 How to keep groups/leads/community interacting and staying in touch over the Christmas period

Let days for tickets to the conference this week > 20% off last few remaining tickets. Email us for discount code. Questions; Time; 3:15 I'm really trying to be a client-centred coach and ask as many (admittedly leading) questions as possible to help guide clients to solving their own problems. Even though I feel like this is the best way to coach people, sometimes it feels like I'm not really helping people solve their problems in that moment For example, I had a call with a client this week who struggles mentally to find the energy to get out of bed. We went in on her values as well as the barriers and challenges she's facing I asked loads of questions to try and understand her better, but after the call I felt like I hadn't really helped her all the much, because we didn't really come up with anything actionable to try and change those habits Any thoughts? Time; 7:24 What's a quality present in PTs you work with that you see is lacking in the rest of the industry? Time;

Time; 04:32 Who is harder to work with; a PT with their marketing or a gen pop client with their nutrition? Time; 07:10 I offer 1-2-1 and SGPT. Do you feel it is ok to promote both services or would we be better to go full throttle on one over the other? Or...is this a 'depends' scenario! Like, what has more availability just now etc. Time; 09:19 I'm thinking about making my Home Practice Library (on-demand videos that I make for my clients) available for non coaching clients.

With last week being monthly review week for the PTMA coaches - and they're 1-2-1 back and fourth this week, which means no weekly check in questions. We thought we would dig in to a question that was asked by one of the coaches. Supporting clients first of all set detailed goals, and then supporting them believe in the goals they have set is a hard task .. one that needs real focus and time. As thought that process ... we manage expectations, future pace the goals into milestones ... and create real meaning behind the "thing" they came to us for.
