Last week, I talked to a friend, and she said how busy she is. She has a full training schedule. The cool thing is almost all of her clients are injury clients. She is the only person in her area that focuses on this niche.
Every day she gets calls from lawyers, doctors, and referrals from friends for her services. If you are looking at getting more training clients, think about specializing in clients with injuries. It is a massive opportunity that most fitness professionals ignore.
Today, I have an interview with a trainer who has developed strong relationships with his medical community. This has led to him being the go-to fitness professional in his area and a steady stream of injury clients. Make sure to take the time to listen to this interview or download it and listen to it in the car.
