Enhancing Client Engagement Through Group Chats + Q&A No.184 45:03

منذ يومين45:03

45:03

Summary In this episode of the Shit House Podcast, the hosts discuss various topics related to personal training, business strategies, and productivity. They explore considerations for moving gyms, prioritizing tasks, maximizing client engagement through group chats, and the importance of email marketing. The conversation also touches on managing inquiries when capacity is full, maintaining productivity, and establishing efficient coaching systems. In this engaging conversation, the hosts explore a variety of topics ranging from the light-hearted debate of whether cereal qualifies as soup to the more serious discussions on time management, the integration of AI in business, effective lead generation strategies, and the financial stability of self-employed professionals. Each segment offers valuable insights and practical advice for listeners navigating these themes in their own lives and careers. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Shit House Podcast 02:55 Considering a Gym Move: Key Factors 06:01 Prioritizing Tasks and Projects 08:53 Maximizing Client Group Chats 11:52 The Value of Emails in Business 15:00 Keeping Inquiries Warm When Capacity is Full 18:00 Managing Productivity and Motivation 24:05 Starting a Personal Training Business in a Gym 26:59 Coaching Systems for Efficiency 31:20 Cereal: Soup or Not? 33:30 Time Management in Business 37:18 Embracing AI in Business 44:38 Lead Generation on the Gym Floor 51:36 Financial Stability as a Self-Employed Professional Takeaways Consider client accessibility when moving gyms. Evaluate the positives and negatives of a gym change. Identify what drives the decision to change gyms. Prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Engage clients in group chats to foster community. Emails are a valuable communication tool for businesses. Provide value in emails to avoid them being seen as junk. Keep inquiries warm with low-barrier offerings. Recognize that productivity levels will fluctuate. Establish systems to automate routine tasks. Cereal is not considered a soup due to its cold nature. Effective time management involves understanding task durations and prioritizing accordingly. AI can significantly enhance business efficiency and should be embraced. Lead generation should be viewed as a service to help others, not just a sales tactic. Financial stability as a self-employed individual requires understanding personal finances and managing income effectively. Regularly reviewing the effectiveness of marketing strategies is crucial for success. AI tools can assist in content creation and organization, but should not replace personal creativity. Customer service in a gym setting should be approached with a mindset of helping others. Self-employed individuals can achieve financial stability with the right strategies and mindset. Living within one's means is essential for financial health, regardless of income level. PS If you got the end of the episode, email us the phrase from sky!!! admin@ptmentoracademy.com…

“Raising awareness of the readiness to change” How would you help a client who seemingly "can't get her head in the game". She wants to lose weight but finds herself drinking more alcohol in the evenings than she'd like. We've revisited her goals, she's led her action steps to move forward with, but most weeks she feels like she isn't moving forward as much as she would like and gets frustrated with herself. Leveraging your reputation on the gym floor How do you do marketing on the gym floor if its a pretty quiet gym and most people already know who you are? Should you always include CTAs in all of your marketing emails and insta posts or should you look to just provide more value in some emails without asking for anything. Bit of feedback on booking client sessions. Some clients want to know my availability in advance, but its hard for me to provide it as my schedule can change depending on clients who work shifts. I considered using a booking system for them to use and book their own sessions, but that will make my schedule an absolute chaos. Is there a middle ground to this? Please enter one questions below for this weeks Q&A! As above about client bookings and working around flexible clients Should your grid posts be the same time every week. I have been talking to this one individual on Instagram and has expressed interest in working with me in the past. At what point should I nudge him towards a consultation and how to do it? What should I say? What is the COACH feedback model and could you give an example of a piece of feedback using it please Running out of leads magnet ideas. What kind of content do you find is the most engaging? Reels or informative/writen posts One of the biggest issues I face, is where to start, where to focus my energy. What are the steps you would take to create clarity, and prevent yourself darting from task to task. I’ve been offered some free digital billboard space should i use it to build awareness of the gym of should I have an offer with a direct call to action? Running out of leads magnet ideas. Being self employed & running your own businesses, do you find it hard to have a good work life balance? Best way to deal with dips in motivation due to the gym you work at?

From your experience, what are the lead magnets that get people the most new clients for people in the academy. (giveaway, Weightlifting workshop, free trial etc.) How would you guys make the most of classes when 1) The numbers are low 3-6 people (class numbers have always been low in the gym unless it's the Monday/Tuesday evening slot 2) It's a PureGym branded class (no flexibility to do your own thing) How to overcome fear of increasing SGPT prices. New clients happily accept the price just fear for OG SG Clients. Successful ways to make leads into conversions I'm finding some of my clients aren't replying to their check in feedback given friday dinner until like saturday/sunday when I aren't working. Then I'm replying and going against my working hours but I feel like I can't ignore them. Any Advice on how to handle it? Am I better off using my time to do gym floor lead gen or online lead gen if I'm a gym floor PT trying to go fully online. What’s your go-to when motivation dips or imposter syndrome creeps in? what's the best way to get people in a community chat to support eachother more and gee each other I have a client who has a super busy work schedule. She manages to get her sessions done but has admitted she becomes lazy when it comes to her nutrition. She sometimes doesn't stop for a lunch break and some days she'll get home from work at 11pm/midnight. Some nights she'll eat when she gets home but has admitted that most of the time she can't be bothered to cook / eat. Some days she only consumes 600-700 calories but isn't phased by this and says she's 'just not hungry' How would you approach this? How do you nudge a lead you're having a conversation with towards booking a call and hopefully signing them on?…

How many times does a client have to be late to a session and by how much until i should pull them up on it? The thing you hate most about running the business that you really have to have a word with yourself about to do - not just 'marketing' for example but the specific bit.

If you're trying to grow your social media and have made changes in your content to target that, how long would you let those changes run before deciding if they're working or not? How to get the most interest when launching a new coaching programme? What advice would you give your younger self? Maybe it's somewhere explained already but I'd struggling massively to choose my target audience/niche because I feel like I just work with such a broad spectrum of general pop clients. When it comes to running a business, are there any mistakes that you’ve made that I can learn from? While I have my giveaway running can I do a referral scheme for clients and give them a free week if they refer someone who signs up?

What are the best books to read to improve as a coach As PT prices rise with with inflation and more services, and people continue to generally have less disposable income in the UK, do you think a PT will ever start to out price their main demographic (everyday people) in commercial facilities such as pure gym? What is one thing you under appreciate the most? For example I get annoyed getting stopped on the gym floor all the time when I'm going home but realistically it is a positive to be popular and people wanting to speak with me What's a gadget around the house that you wouldn't have thought to get but now you can't live without? do you have any concerns about how GLP-1 agonists might effect health, be misused, have negative effects etc in the future?

Questions covered in this weeks Q&A below. A special focus on the question regarding motivation and adherence dipping from the initial excitement of a new year for clients. Interested in finding out about what we do? Check out 👇 www.ptmacourses.com Questions; i don't work evenings only mornings to afternoon, so naturally lead genning at quieter times & only work with female clients, i'm doing my lead gen with both a lead magnet (a mini game to win a workshop) & conversations, but can't help feel the pressure still because i've only got 13 leads in 2 weeks, am I putting too much pressure on myself? At what point do people realise they have too many clients or overworking and how would you manage to find that limit? How is Ant and Nik doing? What is the best way to plan for a completely new product that you want to sell? How would you best deal with a client that doesn’t adhere to anything within the business but they are somewhat happy with their results when you know they are not making much progress what is the simplest way to productise your training methodology What is the first thing that you would do once you have found your limit with regards to your work capacity? Why have you guys (and many others) settled on Crossfit/Hyrox style training as your preferred method? Is it for health, performance, looks, enjoyment etc? Do you believe clients have preferred training methods, based on their likes/dislikes, personalities etc. Just because most fitness professionals have tried, and no longer tend to do bodybuilding type training, for example, is it important to expose clients to a range of styles/methods so they can find their own path too?If a client's goal is to 'look good' (yeah, I know it's a sh* goal); we obvs. focus on nutrition, but what training would you give them and why?

How to sell to a small online audience audience (60 email list, 550 insta followers)? Would you focus on speaking to everyone still on there or focus more on engagement and starting conversations? How to manage expectations around getting a million clients in Jan. Feel like it's so easy to get in your own head when you potentially see other PT's in your gym with 1/2 new clients and assume they have loads of new people. It can make you feel that they're doing everything right/you have no idea what you're doing, even when it's not the case. if you could only listen to one artist for the rest of your life, and you have to say only one, who would it be? what if you have 1-2-1 clients who arent interested in goal setting or moving over to sgpt but have been with you for ages? they are great at getting workout done they show up for their sessions and for themselves but goaless and just prefer to talk to you? How would you future proof your lead gen for moving into your own small private facility? This is a long way away for me, but if my marketing had to move away from gym floor interactions and having members constantly walking in the door I would worry about where my leads would now come from? What books on business, would you recommend to read? How to overcome fear of failure? Peak time for misinformation just now! How could we help our clients navigate the ever growing volume of misinformation out there? Any tips there? I know its a tough ask! Good interactive gym floor lead gen ideas Question for Ant: What is your purpose (if you were to put it into a concise, coherent mission statement)? Thought I'd give you some accountability as you said you would think about it at the conference 😉 If an Ad is performing poorly, would you pull it, or edit it and keep it running? would you rather 1. be incredible at lead gen, marketing and always get clients in but lose them because you were a shit PT or 2. be incredibly knowledgable, barely get clients but keep them because you were sick at your job How do you deal with clients who don’t do anything you suggest for them?

What's the single most successful bit of gym floor lead gen (in terms of leads generated rather than sales)youve done in your PT careers? And what about it do you think made it the most successful? will I ever not feel overwhelmed What's the best way to deal with constant client cancellations and reinforcing your cancellation policy and setting boundaries but maintaining a good relationship with your clients? What is the best way to make sure a client is building self-efficacy instead of just relying on you to tell them what to do? When does the January rush slow down? If you could have a meal with any two people in the world who would it be and why? Questions covered on todays session are ... When looking to launch a new service, and doing a needs survey within the demographic, is there a typical framework of questions to consider? Hope that makes sense! As I put I want to do a talking video for my new 12 week training programme but it does shit me up. Just wondering if you had any advice on how to get over it. I can imagine a lot of coaches have had this issue. When did you last step out of you comfort zone- and was it worth it?…

What does freedom and/or financial freedom look like to you ? How do I create content that helps my audience to get to know me and shows my day-to-day without coming across as if I'm making 'influencer' type content. This isn't the sort of personality I have so I want to make it authentic/genuine but also make it easy to consume and engaging. Realistically, how many hours of marketing should you spend a week on your business? 'How to best avoid imposter syndrome/fear of rejection on gym floor lead gen' For new PTs, if we’re consistent with marketing and lead gen. What should we expect in January in terms of new sign ups. Do you think it matters whether you follow a lot more people on social media than they follow you. Is this a turn off for people? How to encourage clients to plan their weeks without sounding like you are directly telling them what to do? I have a client who really struggles with structure and planning with the gym and life in general and she is someone who tends to bury her head in the sand. I can see a visible difference in her mood when I speak to her when she has everything planned and feels like shes putting in the effort, compared to the low mood I see in her when she's overwhelmed and not taking any action. We have stripped things back to basics quite a few times already to avoid overwhelm, so I feel like I am running out of ideas to keep her going.. If you could give young Nik /Ant /Sky one piece of advice as they started their journey into business to make the most amount of money, what would it be Do you still experience overwhelm in your business? If not, can you recall a time you did and how you overcame it?…

How would you change the narrative from being just an in person PT to adding online coaching and only wanting to take people on online through instagram, emails, classes etc. As a coach who is brand new to the mentorship, what is your biggest piece of advice to maximise the opportunity? How many emails should i send leads a month? - as a newbie to email marketing What are you most looking forward to about this years Coaches Conference? Could you do a live experiment/mini-series of how you plan and run your marketing campaigns? - showing the BTS process you go though of plan, make the creative/ads, and then the result of the campaign. I'd love to see a recording of your planning sessions and what they look like behind the scenes 😂💡 Following on from ants story about posting a little more of your personal life on socail media. Would there be certain things you wouldn't post on social media ie political, relationship or getting hammered on a saturday night. I've seen certain pt post stuff that I wouldn't post. Or is it depending on the type of pt and what they feel comfortable posting.Only thing I could really think of whilst completing the form Most important things to keep in mind when completely switching your marketing strategy? My barrier atm is fulfilling client's personal goals whilst delivering SGPT. I know you can't do it to the same level as 1-2-1, but any tips so that the client perceives I am still taking care of their individual needs i.e. it is still personal training - not a generic group session. Yes, they are all doing different versions of an exercise, but I'm talking about when a client has come to me to achieve a pull up/build their upper body, for example, and we are doing squats/lunges etc. Thanks. What's your proudest achievement as a coach? How long do you need to be consistent with social media before you know there’s something wrong with your messaging rather than an algorithm issue? How can I better frame goal setting to clients if I'm not getting much back from them? I am 100% looking at this being on me, and an area to improve in my Coaching. Are there any key methods, phases, principles etc that spring to mind, that have worked, from your past experiences?…

What are your thoughts on discounting the first month of PT just to get people into your business? How many hours actually doing in person sessions is the average? Why and how would someone go to a PT to lose weight, if they are already spending c£200 on GLP1 jabs? Are our jobs slowly becoming redundant with people able to find whatever they need online now (training videos, plans etc.) and now lose weight with drugs? I don't really see the need for our profession in the future - why will it be needed? Its my first week as a PT/FC at a commercial gym (puregym) what are 5 things i should look to do this week in person in the gym? squat, bench or deadlift First negative feedback I've had on my SGPT this week which upset me, how best to handle that. Ask others for feedback? I've tried to take as constructive but? (It wasn't to do with my coaching, more others in the group and not getting along with them) How to upsell to current clients? I have 2 clients on basic personal training (sessions only) currently and I know how well they would do with a little more guidance/support/accountability but i'm unsure of how to show them they need it (:…

How to do a great monthly review for online clients + Q&A No.163 31:46

منذ 31 weeks31:46

This week we dive into some questions from the team around how to engage your audience using the instagram engagement functions, dip into niching for the gym floor and online and being resilient in business. Questions in order below; Do you think coaches taking part in events (hyrox, marathon etc.) has any sort of effect on swaying people to join their service? Who would you say are good people to follow or any recommended resources regarding improving the quality of socials content? I'm shite at anything that needs to look aesthetically pleasing and always have been! How much of an impact should Niche have on gym floor lead gym? If you work online as well as in person, does it matter if they aren't the same people? Ideas on how to engage audience more on SM via stories/ polls/ etc. Feels like my audience are all millennial lurkers lol. How to create a great monthly review for online clients how can you predict what you want to market when you are someone who works purely on impulse? i need help with strategy. I'm not sure how harsh to be with clients who aren't doing what they said they would. I try to be positive where they've done something, but I want them to start holding themselves to a higher standard and I don't want to "let them off" doing what they need to do to get where they want to be because I feel it sends a poor message. Any advice for finding the balance between being supportive and empathetic whilst still holding them accountable to their actions? If you were at capacity and not needing to sell until the New Year, how would you approach getting the most out of the next 2 months? Where would your focus be? Views on pre-workout? Stim and Non Stim. As a coach, would you offer them or give advice to a client to use? How to stay confidence that what you’re doing is going to work!

This week we dig into some awesome questions from the team. Covering what resources to have and why for your clients. Do you need a nutrition certification as a personal trainer? and loads more. Specific questions below; In particular women 40+/Peri onwards and how to handle advice on increasing protein, lower carbs (if she would advise this) What are the key things that my clients should know when starting out with me and what is the best way to present that information in a way that is easy to digest? What is the main part of your job which gives you the most satisfaction When do you start feeling like a good coach? I feel like my clients are utilising the videos & handbooks that I've created in our group for them - I know that them using these things will help them, but how can I encourage this more without being annoying/putting them off? Whats your take on the typical career path of PT > Gym owner. Having went down the mentorship path yourselves what do you see as other routes of progression for PT's for when they get a bit grey, the unsociable hours are taking their toll and they want to progress. (thats not be saying any of you are old and grey btw 😉) You don't see many 'older' PT's - where do they all go 😂 Favourite lift? What’s the best software for delivering educational content in a drip form e.g. loom? Any tips for talking at events... I can spend hours making the perfect schedule. But how do I get the cojones to stick to it? I want to launch another 6 week programme early next year is January to early for an intake? Shall I wait till Feb? My clients don't really do check ins. Is it worth making check ins tailored to each person or am I making more work for myself? How much of your social media content is planned vs spontaneous? How best to find the balance between being supportive and understanding, but also applying appropriate pressure on clients to be accountable to their goals? Worst client you've ever had? Mine was so stubborn and refused to listen to me about leg press ROM (and about anything else really). Another PT approached me and commented how mean I was making him do partials... we were not doing partials. Safe to say we parted ways after that What types of results or improvements have your students typically seen after working with you…

How to recognise if you're self sabotaging your business? &Q&A No.161 29:30

If you have ever 'sacked' a client, how have you gone about it? Best way to help your new and current clients be aligned with the product that you provide. For example, if you're offering SGPT as a service, helping them see it as a full PT service and not just classes. How often should i be contacting my online clients? How to maintain rapport with clients that leave or move on? how often should you be directly advertising your business? like posting that you have spaces or the link to enquire Best time for a PT taster week? Got it planned for December but might delay till Jan to catch gym newbies What resources (books, podcasts etc) would you recommend for ongoing learning and professional development? How would you go about encouraging clients to set goals on their terms, personal to them? How to recognise when you're self sabotaging? And how to overcome it and get into a more positive headspace with having more pressure. I feel like I get to a certain number of clients, and stop doing all the things that I used to because I don't know if I can actually handle that many more. I think this is subconsciously making me hold myself back and a reason why I always seem to get to the same point in my business and drop back. I know the reasons why, but why is it so hard to push through it?!…

How to overcome overthinking and procrastination? & Q&A No.159 1:01:09

منذ 36 weeks1:01:09

1:01:09

I've been PTing a client for a year who wanted weight loss and is still 128kg. He doesn't understand how inactive and how poor his diet is even though we have spoke about it on multiple occasions and we have put action plans together in the past but he can't stick to anything for a week never mind longer. How would you address this? What are some things you should consider when deciding on your own facility? Where would you draw the line between using automations in your service and keeping it as individualised as possible? If automations mean the service meets the clients individual needs and they're happy with the experience and results, does it really matter? What sort of things would you use for lead magnets if you only had an hour or two to fill for face to face PT? We all know this is a tough industry, with plenty of challenges and brick walls to run into, what would you say to anyone listening is the most important element of business to just keep doing no matter what? Any recommendations of finding out more about working with those diagnosed with ADHD? I'm having more and more conversations about this and other than asking them how they need me to work with them I'm feeling a bit out of my depth How to overcome overthinking and procrastination? How many times should you actually post on social media a week? If you was a super hero what would be your super power? What is your definition of success? What split of business online vs f-f and when to leave commercial gym How to overcome the challenge of an ignorant client…without telling them to do one! 😂 E.G you give all the resources and advice but they never adhere and check in Some advice on responding when 'how much is it' is the first question and you don't really have a price tier as such, just a single price? Would you email current mailing list about calorie calculator lead magnet ? Or only promote it on socials to get new leads/ build up mailing list? How to deal with clients that ghost you. What made you want to drop away from PTing and into business coaching?…
