What's up guys Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Today we'll be talking about becoming friends with personal training clients. Becoming friends with clients is a bit of a taboo subject, but I think it's an area that's worthy of discussion since it's something that most of us trainers will be faced with at some point in our careers. In this video we'll be discussing some of the benefits of befriending clients, and some of the downsides to doing it as well. It's certainly a more controversial topic than what's typical here on Sorta Healthy, but we think these discussions need to happen! Let us know your thoughts on becoming friends with personal training clients in the comments!

What's up guys, Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! In today's video I'll be giving you a tour of my personal training studio Commence Fitness. It may seem like I am trying to show how successful I am in this project, but that is not the reason that I made this video. I decided to do a tour of my personal training studio for two reasons. 1. I want to show trainers a path to take their careers to the next level 2. I want to show trainers that it isn't incredibly expensive or challenging to start up a small and private fitness facility. To do what I did, all it takes is some hard work and consistency. Hopefully, by watching a tour of my facility, you get some ideas for what you want to do going forward in your personal training career! Maybe you'll even start up a personal training studio of your own some day! Thanks for watching everyone, and until next time stay Sorta Healthy!
