About this episode

The most common question we hear in the fitness business is how to transition from an in-person trainer to an online trainer. In this episode, we break down why acquiring clients online requires the exact same foundational skills as in-person training: Talk, Trust, and Sell. We explain why relying on lazy automation bots will ruin a brand, the real math behind cold DMing, and why we believe coaches should log at least 4,000 hours of in-person training before ever launching an online business. If a coaching system lacks assessment protocols and a 7-day expectation feedback loop, it will fail. https://www.instagram.com/officialhcsa/ Follow us for more:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialBeyondThePump Instagram: @officialbeyondthepump  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/B2uM6Fv5NWhdKbhq/
