Hi
I've scored my first PT client. I'm working full time - (for extra info)
She works at my department and has seen & been impressed by my weight loss transformation from when I lost 31 kg from 2010 - 2012. Over the years we have had some chats & have even met for a lunch a while ago where she picked my brains. I do remember her mentioning how she would love me to be her trainer. This was like a year ago.
The other day she was one of my volunteers as a client at the gym. I gave her an appraisal, program, fitness test also discussed her goals etc. She gave great feedback to my leader.
Today she emailed me back to say she wants me to train her twice a week to begin with & then 3 times a week when she gets fitter!!
I'm not sure how to broach the topic of fees with her. It would be great even to have her so as to get some work experience but I need to keep in mind my time is valuable, I am offering a service. I can see & have a feeling she could turn into a long term client.
How would you bring up the topic of fees with her? $30 seems to be the going rate for new (student) PT's. Maybe she could buy 2 & get half price off the 3rd session? What if she can't afford it? I guess that's not my problem is it. But just how do I go about talking to her about fees?
Help please! I need to email her back tomorrow & need to know how I'll tackle this.
Thanks
Haha a lot is happening atm. I'm settling on a property mid December too.
