In todays video we'll be talking about why personal training businesses fail and some common mistakes that personal trainers make. Patience and shiny object syndrome are key talking points in this one, and I think that's fitting because personal trainers have a real problem with both. This video and podcast is a follow up to all of the recent YouTube videos and podcasts on starting and running a personal training business. Really we'll be covering the topics we missed in those previous episodes.

In this episode of the Sorta Healthy podcast we break down entrepreneurs and managers. When it comes to running your personal training business, you need to be both. That said we all lean a little more in one direction or the other. So, our goal with this episode is to have a conversation about how each persona thinks and why neither way is better.

In this episode of the Sorta Healthy podcast Alexis and I are talking about starting a personal training business.
This will be a three part series on starting and running a personal training business. We are also doing the same thing on our YouTube channel. In this first episode we’ll be talking about some of the things that we’ve done well, and maybe a few things that we didn’t.
Mostly what we’ll be talking about in this podcast is how we built our personal training business, Commence fitness personal training, which is now a successful studio by not spending that much money. Starting a personal training business is a pretty risky endeavor and we’ve done a good job at minimizing risk over the years.
So stay tuned, learn a few tricks from some veteran, personal trainers and stick around for more information on how to start a personal training business in 2026!
