What Are the Benefits of This Course?
Knowing not only how to deliver safe and effective programming but how to grow an online presence to help promote your brand to a limitless audience is essential for any 21st – century trainer.
The skills developed on this course will benefit your business by allowing you to:
- Set your training apart by offering either a complete online training platform or a hybrid of online and in-person giving you and your clients ultimate flexibility.
- Gain business skills beyond those that traditional training offers – developing you as a fully-rounded businessperson with the confidence to set up with the right platforms, insurance, legalities and more!
- Keep up with trends as the demand for flexible coaching increases.
- Boost your income by offering your training to anyone with an internet connection, growing your community beyond your local fitness centres.
Why Did We Create This Course?
We know that, despite a return to in-person training, there will be many clients who are not confident training in a gym environment. They may also have discovered that they prefer the structure of online coaching to suit a time frame around their existing commitments.
A recent study by Gympik suggested that 60% of fitness consumers were keen to continue with online fitness platforms. 52% of people were also willing to pay more for a hybrid-style membership that includes both in-person and online gym training. We know our students will want to be at the forefront of revolutionising training to fit with post-COVID fitness styles and provide an essential service to anyone with an internet connection.
A Word from Mark Laws About Creating ‘Coaching Fitness Online’
“The inspiration was to provide some structure to the large number of people transitioning into an unknown coaching environment. We wanted a detailed yet simple course that would provide all the tools and information required to either transition to 100% online coaching or have it as an option that could enhance income.
This course is designed in a way that even the most die-hard fan of face-to-face coaching (of which I was as die-hard as they come) could set up a simple and potentially lucrative online product that boosts their income, reduces how many face-to-face hours they NEED to deliver and acts as an excellent funnel to up-sell clients onto their higher-priced plans. I imagine many more PTs will take advantage of the hybrid model, combining online and face-to-face sessions long after gyms are open again.
The main benefit is having access to a simple, effective, and easy-to-implement course designed by successful online coaches to make other online coaches more successful.”
To Conclude
We are excited to bring you a truly meaningful course that benefits all areas of your training online, allowing you to develop as a coach and as a businessperson. This course is unique to Future Fit Training, created by experts in the field to give you innovative knowledge to boost your training potential beyond the traditional remits.
