How To Start and Grow a Profitable Fitness Business (and Get 10+ Clients in 42 Days)

NPE FAST-TRACK™
- Turn your passion into a business
- Wake up with a plan to move forward
- Do the work you love
- Help people transform their lives
- Earn a professional income
Why Does It Exist?
Because too many fitness professionals fail to earn a living.
They don’t know how to consistently find enough clients … and are unsure how to charge high enough rates for those clients they have.
They run around doing bits and pieces of everything … not sure what steps will move them forward toward their goals because they are unclear around their business model, ideal client profile, and offers.
And they don’t understand the impact of the lack of making a decision and commitment here is costing them from achieving any success whatsoever.
That leaves them feeling stuck and frustrated from being ‘busy yet unsuccessful.’

Finally, they don’t really understand the opportunity cost that comes from unfocused activity, and thinking they must say yes to everything (but saying yes to everything is saying no to your goals).
Truth be told, you must make a powerful commitment to focusing yourself and your business in the right direction if you want to progress from struggling to successful coach earning a professional income.
Not everyone is willing to make that commitment. For those who are willing, however, we’ll show you what’s possible and how you can turn your fitness passion into a profitable business.
What Success Looks Like

- You have a full schedule of great clients you love working with
- You have established a profitable business that runs efficiently with great systems to serve clients (and find new ones you can help)
- You take pride in earning a great professional income

Unconventional thinking: Where you need to start
When most people think about growing their fitness business, they think about quick fixes and short-term sales and marketing tactics.
The mantra is “I just need more leads and clients.”
But the problem with that line of thinking is that it almost always leads to a dead end.
Truth is, there’s some hard thinking and planning that needs to be done before you hit the accelerator on new client acquisition.
WARNING: If you DON’T review and address these critical areas of your business, things actually get WORSE when you add more clients into the mix (NOT better).

Confusion vs Clarity

Every fitness business needs to find answers to each of these three powerful questions in order to grow and succeed:
- What does success look like and how will you get there?
- Where do you find (and how will you sign up) new prospective clients?
- How do you serve the market in a unique and powerful way?
And our goal through the NPE FAST-TRACK™ course is to take you from a place of CONFUSION, to a place of CLARITY in finding the answers you need to succeed.
FOCUS increases POWER

We will strengthen each of the following areas:
- Business strategy
- Client acquisition systems
- Value creation model
As we spend time together working on each of these, you’ll have more FOCUS, which increases your POWER…and that fuels your fitness business to grow!
