If you’re in the early stretch of building your own personal training business, there’s a good chance you’ve had a moment where you thought, “I’m excited… but wow, this is harder than I expected.”
That’s exactly why this episode is worth your time.
I sat down with Mimi, a trainer who’s only a few months into working for herself. She’s balancing two gym jobs, long days, and pockets of free time she squeezes between sessions. And on top of that, she’s trying to find her first independent clients—without spending money she doesn’t have.
The conversation gets real, quickly.
Mimi opens up about:
- Why she chose to specialize in seniors and people with disabilities
- What it feels like to build a business when you barely have bandwidth
- The fear of raising rates while still being “new”
- The pressure to grow without burning out
And then we dig into the things every early-stage solo trainer wrestles with—even if they don’t say it out loud.
How do you price yourself so you’re not constantly chasing the next session?
How do you get your first clients when nobody knows your name yet?
How do you build something meaningful without working seven days a week?
You’ll hear the exact places Mimi plans to show up, the small steps she’s taking to get visible, and the mindset shifts that make those steps feel doable.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing this right”… this episode will hit close to home—in a good way.
This is the kind of coaching conversation that helps you breathe a little easier and think, “Okay… I’m not behind. I just need a plan.”
Watch the episode, take what fits your world, and keep moving forward.
