Fidel Tukel - Challenges of Running a Personal Training Business

As Fidel Tukel knows, being a personal trainer is a gratifying career. The ability to help people reach their health and fitness goals is rewarding, but it is not without its challenges. Starting a personal training studio can be difficult, especially if you are transitioning from being a corporate employee into owning your own business. 

The first challenge that you will have to face is getting into the mindset of being a small business owner. This means learning how to market your business, handle finances, networking, and everything else that goes with owning a small business. There are numerous online resources that can help you make this transition.

Another challenge that you will face when you first start your personal training business is figuring out how to build your client base. The best way to tackle this challenge is to start out with a business plan. 

Not only does it define your mission, and provide you with your marketing plan, but it gives you a way to refocus your business as it grows. Fidel Tukel has been training clients in his gym, the Ultimate Training Centre, since opening its doors in 2007.
