Fitness Boot Camps 101.... A Three Step Plan

In today's market place you not just need to be creative but you also need to be in a position to deliver. As a fitness pro, if you have spent any time researching paths to increase the profits you generate from your business, you know that boot camps are a good way to do just that.

Running a fitness boot camp makes it simple to :

* Book multiple clients at the same time, accelerating your productivity
* Train folk with tiny or no kit
* Set everything up without having your own gym or studio
* Work with big groups of people all at once
* Earn more earnings an hour without doing more work


Folks are swarming to these boot camps because they are fun, effective, and convenient. Health club owners are missing out on a huge quantity of income.

And since you can perform fitness boot camps at local parks, playgrounds, or perhaps in your own yard, there's no real need for a gym membership - or any overhead costs for you. That means the average joe private trainer can suck up big quantity of business with just a few straightforward adverts. This leaves you Joe fitness center owner with less clients, less money and more fears.

So let go over a few thing to consider before just hopping into doing boot camps, then I am going to help you get the ball rolling.

(Step One)
Ask why?The first question to ask yourself is what are your long term goal is in regards to your private training profits center. If your not manufacturing at least 25% of your club money in some kind of private training, boot camps, weight loss, etc then you not running a successful club. Now you may be saying "wait, I am not making that kind of cash on PT but I am doing ok." I'll just say that different folk may have different standards for success.

If your goal is to maximize your profits and scale back your workload then boot camps are good way to do just that. So what's a fitness boot camp? The term "boot camp" just means enormous group training. A boot camp will ideally have 10-20 clients. Sessions will last 60-90 mins. The cost should be between $125-$199. We all know that one on one PT sessions are a waste of time. Sure if a client wants to pay you $90.00 per 1 hour sessions take the money, but your private training profit center will never grow if you are still thinking old school.

(Step 2)
Location. This is the most vital choice considering the amount of FREE referral promoting you can get, not to mention social evidence for the program. Locations like parking lots ( in front of your club ), parks, group fitness room ( aerobics room ) function as a great areas, as there is a guarantee of lots of foot traffic passing your way that will definitely have an interest in your product. This is the most vital choice considering the amount of FREE referral selling you can get, not to mention social explanation for the program.

(Step Three)
Promoting. I cannot revile our entire selling program for boot camps but I'm going to tell you the most valuable some of it. This alone can fill your boot camp in 1 month.
The Human billboard. Never underestimate the power of the human mouth! People love to talk, around the water cooler, on the golf course, in your wellbeing club, on the loo. So how can you capitalize on our bad practice of gossiping? Give away a free month by month pass to a client and two t-shirts with your boot camp theme logo so as long as they promise to do 3 things ;

* They can't tell anyone that you gave it to them free.

* They will not be an energy hog. When they come to boot camp they need to bring it! No complaining about being knackered.

* They need to referrer 1 person a month. This is so simple and if you want a few folks to get the 10 member minimum the "human billboards" can fill the opening.

* They need to wear the t-shirt to every class.

* They have to give 1 positive video testimonial, you tube video comment and blog comment every month. ( This is a component of bigger marketing plan that we offer to our promoting clients )

Charge them nothing. So long as you've got an incredible program ready, word will be traveling fast. This is also a way to get some feedback on your product and make any last minute adjustments needed. ( Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone )
.

And now here's a unique promo idea to run in the slow days of summer. Most fitness info marketers "give up" during July and Aug, believing that everyone is on vacations and nobody will obtain workout programs over the summer. Well, I don't agree with that way of thinking.

In this era, most Americans seldom use all of their vacations anyhow - not the average worker even gets that many days off.

You can promote all sorts of things in the summer...such as a promo before or after you go on your own summer vacation, or just a "Summer Break" sale for people that have got away from their workouts and spending too much time on the patio and need some inducement to get back on track.

And finally, you can run a Back to school / End of Summer / labor Day promotion to get folks back to your camps after a summer away from boot camp workouts. Last year, I had tons of fun with a funny email I sent out the day after Labor Day. This touch of humor tied up with the holiday led on to a great day of sales. There was no special promotion, just the good use of tying in a vacation to regular communication with my list.

September is the third busiest time of the year for boot camp workouts, and I'll be preparing a special set of vacation fitness boot camp promotion ideas for that time of the year soon!
