Personal Training and Bootcamp Business Marketing Tactics

I am back with another exercise and injury interview for you, and today it focuses on the business side of fitness.

A big thing that has changed over the last few years is how much I focus on business.

When I started in fitness, way back in 1994, I focused on the techniques related to fitness. I did this for about ten years. Then in 2004, I started to spend more and more time studying, meeting business people, and implementing what I had learned about when it comes to business. This has been one of the keys that have helped me reach more people, help more people and help my business grow. One person that has helped me is Bedros Keuilian.

I interviewed Bedros for you, and we specifically talked about marketing tactics for personal trainers and Bootcamp owners.

Fitness professionals are business coaches if you don’t know who Bedros Keuilian is. In the interview, he gives a lot of great info bombs to help fitness professionals.

Enjoy!
