Why should we care: One reason personal trainers should care about the new features introduced in Apple Fitness+ with the launch of iOS 17 is because of the Custom Plans option. It allows trainers to create personalized workout schedules for their clients. They can choose the workout types, duration, music, and even the trainers themselves to create a plan that fits their clients' preferences. This feature helps trainers provide a more tailored and enjoyable training experience, which can lead to happier and more satisfied clients.

Something to Try…

ChatGPT

As a personal trainer, you should try ChatGPT to kickstart and expand your business. It's like having a super-smart virtual assistant by your side. ChatGPT can help you with many things, like creating workout plans for clients, answering their fitness-related questions, and even giving them a motivational boost when they need it. It's a fantastic way to offer personalized support and guidance, even when you can't be physically present. Plus, using ChatGPT saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on what you do best – training your clients and helping them achieve their fitness goals. So, why not give it a whirl and see how ChatGPT can take your personal training business to the next level?

Something personal...

When I started my first company at age 24, I had no idea how to start, let alone grow a business. It took me years of trial and error before I was comfortable with my business skills. It wasn’t my fault, I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science. I never took a business class at Penn State. My goal through this newsletter, the blog, and The FitWell Academy is to help you learn the business side of fitness, allowing you to work smarter, not harder. A lot of the information is free. There are a few paid courses. No matter which you pick, I hope you find it all valuable.
