As A Personal Fitness Trainer, Do You

There are tons of personal fitness trainers out there and your clients chose you! WOW!!!

* Do you express your gratitude each and every time they come in?

* Do you ask for a referral from your satisfied clients?

* Do you ask for testimonials from your satisfied clients?

* Do you send them a thank you card after they have signed up?

* Do you send thank you cards to clients when they refer someone?

Appreciation Wins!

Your clients appreciate you or they would not continue to use your services. Dr. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs includes Physiological, Safety, Love/belonging, Status and Actualization. Appreciation comes under status and is number four. Your clients need to be appreciated and so do you.

Your clients keep their appointments with you because they know that your time is valuable just as theirs is. They took about two hours out of their day to devote to training; one hour with you and the other hour in transit and cleaning up.

Gratitude pulls in more of whatever you are grateful for. If you have appreciation in you and you share it with others, it creates room for appreciation to come back to you. Remember, to stay focused on whatever you appreciate.

Believe it or not, expressing that appreciation to others serves to reinforce it in ourselves which is a huge contribution to our own positive attitudes and personal self image. As we begin the process of expressing our gratitude for our clients, that same expression will spill over into our personal lives and in doing so will literally shift our attitude, our energy and our focus. As our attitude, energy and focus shift upward, they increase our level of happiness which in turn increases our level of prosperity as a trainer.

The personal knowledge that you are appreciated by your clients is expressed in dollars, attendance, participation, and verbal feedback. Do you express your appreciation for what your clients share with you? There is no greater joy than being able to share something you are passionate about with someone you truly care about. EXPRESS THE JOY! It will magnify itself and come back to you ten fold. It always has! Try it! You'll like it.

All my best,
