Challenges with the Fitness Business Model?
- FINANCIAL – The Average Fitness Professional wage is £15,000 per year and lots of outside factor’s often cap this.
- NO LADDER – Very often Fitness Professional’s wages will not rise from decade to decade. They sell time but time runs out.
- NO WORK LIFE BALANCE – the nature of the work is very erratic working hours – 6am starts / 9pm finishes.
- THE INDUSTRY DOSNT APPRECIATE THEM – The fitness industry is always holding back the potential of the trainer/Instructor.
- JOB INSECRUITY – Time of year (XMAS), Holidays, Sickness (NO WORK)
- GLAMOUR TITLE – but still living month to month financially.
- BAD CLIENT RESULTS – Clients continue to fail as they set EXPENSIVE, NON-PRACTICAL, UN-BALANCED, UN-REALISTIC dietary plans.
- LIMITED TIME – Look after 30 clients and then what? Limited opportunity to teach other skills learnt and benefit from it financially(royalty)
- RUN DOWN – PTs who don’t look forward to the last two sessions of the day! Some overweight some, not getting adequate nutrition based on the active lifestyle they lead.
- NO CLEAR VISION OF THE THEIR FUTURE. – Opportunities become fewer with age and frustration with the industry builds over time
- 60% LEAVE THE INDUSRTY WITHIN 4 YEARS – so many wasted skill
