Personal Trainers Seek Mentors, Innovation to Boost Business in Challenging Economic Times

    RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA, September 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Financial fitness is just as important as physical fitness for personal trainers and others in the fitness business, which is why many are turning to mentors and new marketing techniques to help bolster their business during recent economic challenges.

In addition to traditional client acquisition techniques, personal trainers are opting for one-on-one personal coaching/mentoring to help them hone their business and marketing plans, marketing courses for personal trainers, niche training in coaching tri-athletes, martial arts, boot camps and more, as well as the full array of social media marketing for personal trainers.

"Like any business, many personal trainers have struggled during recent economic challenges, inspiring many to seek new ways to build and maintain business, make more money and save time," added John Spencer Ellis, founder of John Spencer Ellis Enterprises, a leading national fitness and personal development solutions company. "A great business mentor can help you re-imagine your business, find creative solutions to challenging times and increase clientele when other personal trainers are struggling."

While a personal training certificate is a good start for anyone in the fitness business, truly succeeding as a personal trainer requires more education and more innovation. Likewise, social media marketing - including online marketing, email marketing, text message marketing and more for personal trainers - helps trainers reach new clients in an affordable and effective manner.

"Whether it's the Boot Camp Workout, Fitness and Nutrition Meal Planning Software or FitNews.TV marketing for personal trainers, innovation and organization are truly the key to success right now," Ellis added.
