What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today we'll be discussing in-home personal training!
Unlike most of our videos, this video will mostly cover my personal experience working as an in-home personal trainer. I worked as an in-home personal trainer, or a personal trainer who trains clients in their own homes for about 5 years. It was simultaneously one of the most rewarding but also challenging things I've done. It's really what allowed me to take my training career to the next level. In fact, my very first video here on RU-vid was an in-home training session.
In addition to discussing my own personal story when it comes to in-home training we'll also discuss whether I thought in-home training was a worthwhile endeavor. Is in-home personal training worth doing going forward? That's something we'll also talk about.
Thanks for everything guys! I appreciate all of you! If you'd like to help the channel don't forget to like and subscribe!

I’ve been doing in home training for almost a year. Really have enjoyed it, it’s given me my start for sure and I’m so grateful for my clients but definitely ready to move on to a studio.

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

Glad you’ve enjoyed it and it’s given you a great starting point!

@chrismcloydcpt 2 года назад

Thanks for your story. I am starting my own business and I am doing Inhome personal training right now. Once I get the money saved up I am going to sub lease study space to do group training. Great Video. 👍🏾

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

Thanks for your kind words! Good luck on your journey!

@jeffreydhill Год назад

This is inspiring. It sounds like I'm on the right track (though you did tip me off to work on my new site's SEO, and to keyword in home training). It also makes me not feel so bad for feeling lost and restless at the lack of inquiries so far. I'm going to find a facility to work in to get some cash flow going, but my dream really is to build my own business. Question!: Any tips on how to handle travel fees? What is a reasonable method?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Год назад

So glad you found the video helpful! It sounds like you’re on the right track. In regards to travel fees, assess how many miles, how much gas, how long it takes you to get there/to another session. Ultimately what matters is how many sessions you can do a day based on how much you need to travel. You could either build a flat travel fee in your price and explain it to clients that way or tack it on in addition to your regular fee.

@alexanderren1097 4 месяца назад

How do you protect yourself from sexual harassment or from false accusations? I’m sure the vast majority of clients would never be a problem but in this day and age it only takes one bad apple to potentially ruin someone’s career or even land them in jail

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 4 месяца назад

That’s a good question! I do have insurance with up to 2 million dollars in coverage. It’s only a few hundred dollars a year. Hopefully I never have to use it!

@roccospagnolo269 11 месяцев назад

Hey Jeff, thanks for the educational videos, they are really helping to give me ideas. So my goal is to start in home training to supplement my training in a commercial gym to make more money and start my business (my long term goal is to own my own gym). My question is do you need a business license to start mobile training? I live in New York state, I haven't really gotten an answer through my research. I'm not sure what I should start working on to begin this process. Any thoughts you have are greatly appreciated.

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 10 месяцев назад

While you don’t technically need it, I would recommend having an LLC as well as insurance to protect yourself and your assets.

@iamayannapenn 2 года назад

Do you have an Amazon Link for an adjustable folding weightbench? One that can be folded and put away after use in a smaller apartment?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

We actually use this one in our studio! It's not super big and very light. amzn.to/3OJF78s

@lowkitanuki5983 2 года назад

You have any books on training and coaching you suggest? I’m a new training and the type of person that wants to keep consuming as much info as possible to feel as confident as I can

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

Honestly, I don’t have any great books to recommend. It’s part of the reason why I stated making these videos!

@avidzik9749 2 года назад

I have been doing in home training for 5 + years. It's becoming a drag. From watching your videos the last few years I notice how organized your are. I'm having trouble recording the clients workouts and keeping all the sheets organized when I'm traveling around so much. Any advice ?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and the support! I’ve ran private studios for a while and that’s definitely made me more organized in all aspects of training. I use excel sheets to keep organized within training programs. This is the most recent programming video we’ve made: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CDDHlGRL3AI.html

@tinamiliopoulos8086 2 года назад

Hi Jeff. What a great video. Thank you. I do in home training during summer. We have a lot of tourist who visit the island I live on. My question is the lady who I train tends to bring a friend or two during her session. What would you charge in this case?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

Thank you! I would charge at least a dollar a minute and I would add a small travel charge. If you’re in a pricy area you may actually want to charge quite a bit more than that. It’s always a good idea to see what other in the area are charging too and offer a similar price.

Have you joined a chamber of commerce or other local networking group? Is there a Facebook group for the area where you’re trying to work? Can you promote your services to local businesses?

@BB-kb5br 2 года назад

Not sure if you've covered this in a previous video, but how would you train a client with minimal equipment? Say if you are doing in-home training. Also would you recommend using your own home to train if you have just a slightly rusted power rack, plates, barbell, and resistance bands?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

I covered some strategies in this video which is a typical in-home session: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cLKDzIaaNe4.html

What do you think about bark?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation 2 года назад

I don’t think it’s too great. I’ve had better luck with thumbtack. That being said, I haven’t had great luck with Bark or Thumbtack. Word of mouth, google and Facebook have been the things that helped me the most.

@one-8fitnesszone3 Год назад

can we use ur workout chart for home training?

@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Год назад

You can! Depending on what equipment you/your client has, there may be a move or two that you wouldn’t do but 99% of it would work just fine.
