5 Mistakes I've Made In My Personal Training Career | Personal Training Business Tips 2026

What’s up guys! Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In today’s video I’ll be breaking down 5 mistakes I’ve made as a personal trainer. Unfortunately, I’ve made far more than 5 mistakes during my personal training career. That said, I want to focus in on the five featured in this video specifically because I think many of my missteps are avoidable. Essentially, learn by watching me instead of making the same mistakes yourself. So, some of the topics I’ll be breaking down in this one are: personal training pricing, the personal training career timeline, when you should start your personal training business, how to communicate with personal training clients, when to take risks in your personal training career, how you should think about your skill set as a personal trainer, running a personal training studio, semi-private personal training vs small group personal training and one-on-one personal training, etc. We cover a lot of ground in this one, and if you want to see me cover running a personal training business more in depth, let me know down below in the comments! I probably will do the 3 part training business series if the interest is there! If you guys have any personal training career or business questions, let me know in the comments! Love you guys! Until next time stay Sorta Healthy! -Jeff You can download the forms we use in our personal training business by going to this link: https://www.sortahealthytrainered.com/freepersonaltrainingforms ---- Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/17X4Pb7gYJ5LLTiQwuAkhQ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sortahealthyjeff
