Grow Your Demand and Potential Client Base through Niche Training
Who Makes More Money, a Family Practice Doctor or a Neurosurgeon?
Don’t be that trainer who says “I can train anybody”. It’s arrogant and unrealistic. This course will help you become a specialist and expert in a huge and growing “niche” market. I hate to even use the word niche because we are talking about more potential clients that you could ever handle and they are looking for trainers who understand them (physically and otherwise) and can help them.
The Next 30 Years
The mature market is not a niche. It is the largest and fastest-growing fitness market in the world and will be for the next 30 years.
Become a More Effective and Confident Professional
Given the Large Number of Adults Over the Age of 50 You Are Probably Already Training Clients in This Demographic
But do you sometimes find yourself wondering if you might break (hurt) an older client? Are you concerned about taking on that really old client who isn’t in very good health because you might just kill them? Do you second guess yourself, wondering if you are providing the most effective training program to help them improve their health and function safely? If you don’t have these kinds of questions then you aren’t being honest with yourself. We all have those same kinds of questions even when we’ve been training for over 15 years. It is necessary because it keeps us diligent and on our toes with an eye towards safety. This course will improve your skill in designing and implementing effective programs and will significantly boost your confidence in taking on even difficult clients.
