How do you know where all these glory holes are?
If someone doesn't know that chocolate cake, followed by a stick of butter....isn't good for losing weigh...a hotline won't help.
"Frank?, I'm at McDonald's and the guy asked me if I want to supersize my meal for another $1.  Should I supersize or get an apple pie?"
Haha, the state of personal training has hit the shits.  ;D
At least be a trainer with some real results, not like one of these twinks with no gains...or even worse, a pussy on the juice pretending he has the answers, yet achieved nothing on his own....now that's just sad.  :-\
Good luck on the hotline.

I include texting and email privileges in my overall training rates. That is part of the "Point of Sale" as a perk. You have to do this especially if you are working with athletes and fitness folks (bodybuilders, etc) ~ If you are a nutritional coach it is mandatory.

Texting isn't for training "advices" ~ it's for food substitutes and stuff like that. They usually text from the grocery store. Shit like that.


Any other texting is for scheduling ~


That's me anyway, not sure about other trainers.

BTW, your GF has to be cool with it.

that's pretty accurate.

I get texts all day about.

"i'm at PF Chang's.. what should I eat?"

"i'm gonna go drinking with gf's at YardHouse.. what's my best option?"

"are these shoes good?" (with a pic of some Nike Free 3+ or NewBalance minimus mx20's or something)

"I can't make it tonight, should I do cardio this am or just skip it till tomorrow?"

you get to a point when you can answer most anything in 3 words.

How about this one?: "Hey, what alcohol has the least calories" ~ I have to say that is by far one of the most popular questions.

How does this douchebag know?  Because of his infamous quote about "the best things about a glory hole is that you never know who is sucking your cock".

It should be free you crook, that should be part of your fee of having them on board, wtf now you will charge them for texting, what's next an extra fee forthis and that.

If you are charging 1000 to 2000 dollars, they should be allowed to text you every day so they choose to, wtf.

No I have to charge extra it is very inconvienient have people texting me a bunch of stupid questions all day while I am relaxing trying to enjoy myself. the funny thing is when i first start training people I was very tough with them, hard training and I was very honest with how they look and the results they where getting and I lost a lot of clients, now I dont give a fuck, I give relax training sessions and tell them they look good when they look like shit and guess what now I have more clients than I can handle.

my wife has the exact same problem but its include it in the cost per month. I dont know how you do it..

they text, email, call nonstop even though I specifically say "weekly" updates. If my wife doesnt provide the 24/7 text service they dont resign. Otherwise they do resign but she ends end up being on call 24/7 no days off

if you can figure this out let me know

$5 per month. If it works, you will reap the benefits by word of mouth.

$10 per month if you are hurting for money.

Any more and it is way outside of normal cell service or app add ons.

Wow...


seems you've become a bit apathetic.


Oh well, who am I do judge? Just making an observation.


PT can definitely suck and I do have those days too, but when my attitude reflects yours, guaranteed I will find another line of work.

I was thinking more like 50 dollars per month this is not a normal texting service.

If you are charging 1000 to 2000 dollars, they should be allowed to text you every day so they choose to, xxx.

I know few who wont charge you any including the super busy George Farah he and the others will answer even stupid questions lol.

no fees no nothing.

but thats them. if your clients feels 50$ is worth it then why not.

You shouldn't charge anything. It should be included as part of your training. I do it with my gym clients and I do it with my online clients including skype.
