Progio offers a solution for personal trainers to work on-site, off-site and on-line. The Personal Training Companion becomes you – virtually. While you are training a new client and setting him/her up with a new program, your other clients may be training with one of your programs using the Personal Training Companion at the exact same time. Essentially, you have just leveraged your time and found a way to keep clients on board longer than usual, overcoming the client retention struggle. This is a win/win solution for everyone. You have more clients on board at any given time and thus more revenue. And your clients are happy because they feel they are getting more for their dollar over a longer period of time. Progio gives you the leading edge in your Personal Training business.
CLIENT RETENTION – MAKE PERSONAL TRAINING MORE AFFORDABLE
Not everyone can afford personal training. And when they do make the investment, it is typically for a discrete period of time. The Progio Training Companion can help to extend your training services and give clients additional value for their money.
Let’s take Scott, for example, who just moved into town for a new position. Scott has just joined the gym and has set up his complimentary one-on-one personal training session with you. The one-on-one session goes well and you are able to schedule eight additional sessions with Scott over the next four weeks. After the eight sessions are completed, Scott tells you that he has learned enough to do things on his own. Scott does not admit to you that he can’t afford personal training sessions every time he works out. What can you do to keep Scott as a client?
Scott is able to afford your services if the training sessions can be spread out over a longer span of time. Here’s how it works. During your one-on-one sessions, you introduce Scott to new exercises and how to use the Progio Training Companion, a mobile workout device that contains fitness workouts specifically tailored for Scott, by you, his Personal Trainer. When Scott is working out independently, he uses the device to coach him through his workouts. Scott now has the flexibility to train when it is most convenient for him, while at the same time taking advantage of your Personal Training expertise. Each time you meet with Scott, you can reassess his progress and tailor new workouts based on his fitness goals and abilities.
WORKOUT CONSISTENCY – KEEP BUSY CLIENTS ON TRACK
Some clients have trouble staying focused. Their lives are hectic. They call you constantly to reschedule, or even worse, they just don’t show up. Business travel makes your clients lose momentum if they don’t know what to do when they are on the road. The Progio Training Companion can be there for your clients when their lives get crazy.
Susan is a jetsetter. She’s here, there and everywhere. In fact, although she is based locally, she manages both the East and West coast offices of a successful corporation. She travels to and works at the other location every other week. Her schedule makes it impossible to keep a consistent training schedule. When she’s not here at home, she doesn’t work out. It’s almost like starting over with her every time she gets back from a trip. What can you do to keep Susan focused and motivated to workout consistently?
She needs a way to maintain a consistent workout program despite her hectic travel schedule. She has access to a gym on the other coast but she can’t always remember what to do or cannot find the motivation. You obviously can’t travel with her out of town on business. Well, not physically anyway. But you can send your workouts with Susan on the Personal Training Companion. So, when Susan is out of town and her schedule allows, she can take the Personal Training Companion with her to the gym. She stays motivated and on track fitness-wise because you have provided her with a viable solution. You can even send her new workout programs via the Internet while she is traveling, too.
WORKOUT CONVENIENCE – MAKE WORKOUTS READILY ACCESSIBLE
Meeting with you for a one-on-one training session more often than once a week is just not possible for some clients. However, without the trainer, it is difficult to remember each and every exercise. The Progio Training Companion can help to close the gap between once a week workouts and actually participating in a workout program that generates desired results.
Emily is a working Mother of three young boys. She is just returning to work from maternity leave and eager to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight. Emily’s time is limited and she can only train with you once per week on the weekend. In fact, most of her exercising needs to be done at home on her own before and after work, and in between diaper changes, potty training and feedings. What can you do to help Emily achieve her goal?
She would be so happy if she could find a way to work out efficiently with a trainer, considering her responsibilities. Implementing the Personal Training Companion with Emily would allow her to still train with you once a week, but provide her with the flexibility and convenience to workout outside of the gym around her work and family schedule. You could set up 30 minute mini-workouts for Emily since it might be challenging for her to dedicate a whole hour in any given day to her work out.
REMOTE COACHING – WORK WITH CLIENTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR AREA
Elite and professional athletes have special training needs. Athletes don’t necessarily need a trainer to babysit them. They rarely need a cheerleader either. Athletes simply need a highly specialized strength and conditioning program and they go off and do it. The Progio Training Companion can make your relationship with the elite or professional athlete much more efficient.
Since Derek trains seasonally, his workouts need to be modified periodically to prepare him for competition. You may only see him face-to-face 2-3 times per year. He’s paying for your professional coaching services because you produce great training programs that help him maintain his elite athlete status. What can you do to insure that Derek understands how to perform each activity in the workout effectively?
The Progio Training Companion allows you to deliver new training programs to Derek as needed. Progio's online partner, "Personal Training on the Net," provides a huge exercise video library including the latest functional exercises from leading experts in the industry - and you can create and upload your own exercise descriptions and videos. You can already e-mail his workouts to him but Progio takes things to a new level. Rather than printing out an e-mail, Derek can download your workouts onto the Progio Training Companion and take it with him to the gym, the pool, the track, etc. Each exercise detail can be viewed in the palm of his hand before each set. He also has the benefit of your video and audio instruction for each exercise to insure that he understands how to do each workout.
