nothing quite like personalised one-on-one
training. Offering just this, is Jan Stachel-

Trainer or Sales Consultant, in Christchurch, on
the basis that they only need to pay for the

find the money to put into growing our business.

WEBSITES
A recent survey showed that Britons are so lazy that one in six
cannot be bothered to change the television channel if the
remote control is broken and would rather continue watching
the same channel than getting up and switching to another
programme.
59% of those surveyed said that they took the lift instead of
walking up even two flights of stairs, and 52% of dog owners
said they could not be bothered to walk their pet. 64% of
parents were too tired to play with their children -- fuelling
concern over child obesity, which already afflicts one in six
pre-school infants.

RESOLUTIONS FITNESS – Simone Rank

“I love the part where she acknowledged the client of the month and the
fact that these „winners‟ get cool prizes….great that she has a picture of
her REPs certificate….. testimonials are essential to any site and she has
them…added plus is the 24/7 email support offer…all in all a great site”
We asked industry experts to take a look at the websites of several personal
trainers and to pick out what they most liked about them.
RESULTS PERSONAL TRAINING – George Pepperell
http://www.resultspt.co.nz/
“Like that he has his prices listed and an unlimited boot camp session
price..cool idea…boot camps were well described to be inviting for both
the super fit and not so fit…don‟t normally like home pages that start by
playing a video, but loved this one! Good effort”
FITNESS 4 ALL – Tom Blackhall
http://www.fitness4all.co.nz
“Liked the testimonials scattered throughout…plus mentions his awards
and qualifications…very reassuring for people…the picture of the
vibration machine would definitely attract a lot of people as the public
have heard so much about them ….natural photos of people smiling and
Tom being appropriately involved with them…works well”
Are we like this?

Desra Barron (seen here in the Coast to Coast) has been in the fitness industry for
10 years. Her business is now looking for a self motivated trainer who is looking
to work out of her recently built, Body Studio.
Located in Spreydon, Christchurch, you would have sole use of the premises with up to two
clients at any one time, i.e. no two trainers work in the studio at the same time. We offer a
range of rental options making it a great opportunity for those who wish to train on a part-
time basis and who wish to build their own brand.
Currently there is only one trainer working from the studio. If need be, some support can
also be given to help you grow your business here. All applicants must be REPs registered.

The Gift of Fitness
Try something different!
With Christmas around the corner
why not organise your break up
event at a climbing wall?
The Roxx in Christchurch offers a
super safe, easy to use system
called Clip and Climb where you
don‟t have to belay your clients.
Whether you are a climber or not
won‟t matter and this empowering,
fun event will have your clients
positively raving about you for
weeks.
www.theroxx.co.nz
FOR YOUR MEMBERS
While it might be tempting to give your clients a complimentary
training session as a Christmas present, ask yourself, would you
give your client a bottle of wine worth the same price as your
session? Equivalent to maybe a $75 bottle of wine this is not an
expense most trainers would be willing to bear and in fact most
clients would probably agree that a $75 bottle of wine is an
excessive gift. So why is it that we would give a session away that
has the same value and possibly risk de-valuing our sessions?
Option 1: Consider giving your clients something less expensive
but still a gift related to fitness. Pedometers, rock climbing
vouchers, online food diary access, a month‟s hire of a home piece
of fitness equipment or home-made muesli (with the recipe
attached) will probably all have your clients raving about you and
cost you half the price of a session.
For instance do a 1-1 consultation „goal setting‟ session with them or
give them a gift voucher for a group training session if they haven‟t
yet participated in one of these. Hopefully they will then appreciate
the value of these sessions and will be more open to using them in
the future.
Make all vouchers valid until say Feb 1st 2010 in the hope that it
helps them get back into fitness early on in the New Year and/or is
for use during your „slow time‟ of the year. As another option you
could make vouchers valid only if your client brings along someone
else to the session with them!
Christmas Hampers
Putting together a Christmas hamper
can be a great way to raise money for
your favorite charity and promote your
business.
Include discount vouchers for your
services and those of the businesses
you are affiliated with. Get out and
about with your Christmas hat on and
sell tickets to everyone inclusive of
local businesses. Encourage clients to
sell tickets for you as well!
The legal requirements are minimal
For all the details check out
http://www.gamblingcommission.govt.nz/.
Option 2: If you really want to give clients a
complimentary session then give them a voucher for
a different type of session with you, one you know
they need but which they may have had trouble
seeing the value of in the past.

THE ROCK MOVEMBER &
OTAUTAHI AUCTION!!!
Thought for the month: “Isn’t it amazing how we say we’ve been “good” when we’re simply doing what’s
best for our body? When healthy and appropriate eating becomes “normal behaviour” rather than “good
behaviour” then we’re on the right path.
