Step 5 - Beating the Competition and Growing your Business

Personal training is competitive. In order to remain in business and also become profitable, you have to outsmart your competitors and use your time efficiently.  You can't afford to spend a day trying to figure out your taxes while you should be using that time for getting more clients.

train smarterThe best personal trainers have learned how to grow their business by consistently exceeding their client's expectations and delivering quality services.  They follow a communication plan with each client that increases client satisfaction and creates new referral business.

I recognized that personal trainers need better tools manage and communicate with clients. So we created the Complete Training System to automate every facet of the client/trainer experience. And it makes you look ultra professional at the same time.

  • It includes client assessment, medical, health and lifestyle screenings and automates the collection and storage of all your critical paperwork while reducing risk for you.
  • It automates the process of designing resistance, cardio, and flexibility programs for your clients.
  • It allows personal trainers to provide safe and risk-free nutritional guidance, meal planning, and calorie tracking for their clients.
  • And it’s a personalized web portal for every one of your clients, making it easy for them to track their progress, communicate with you, and book their next training session with you.
  • And a whole lot more features you can Try for Free!


The Complete Training System gives you the opportunity to add more services, so that you can make more money.  You can enable calorie and nutrition tracking and train clients online.  As well as making it easier for clients to schedule appointments and pay for your services.

Your Result: More Value for your Clients, Less Work for You
