FOREWORD

PT FIRST EBOOK

In the last 17 years, we have been working with gyms all around the world to discover best practices for the client, the coach and the business. 

The result: The 9 Laws

In short, follow the 9 laws and each party—the coach, the client and the business—will be successful, as measured by these six key performance indicators (KPIs): client retention, average client value, dollars per coach hour, total coach pay, profit and business value.

This Ebook—PT First—essentially represents the first two of the nine laws and is the first step, or the foundation, in developing professional coaches and a sustainable gym that earns a real profit. In other words, without these two laws in place, the other seven laws are useless.

You can read more about the nine laws in detail in our 9 Laws EBook, but here’s a brief snapshot of the laws:

Law #1: The client’s intro day should be done in a one-on-one setting with one coach, and by appointment only

Law #2: Fundamentals should be administered as personal training (12-18 sessions depending on the client) 

Law #3: Each client needs a consistent coach for life in their corner, a coach who knows their strengths, weaknesses, goals, priorities etc.

Law #4: Hybrid memberships—aka a combination of group classes, personal training and in some cases individual design—is the most effective way to retain clients long-term

Law #5: In order for coaches to become true professional coaches, they should go through a formal, practical coach development process that includes a true mentorship process

Law #6: In order to earn a professional wage, coaches need to be compensated based on performance (meaning their ability to bring on and retain clients)

Law #7: A coach co-op (such as at a law or engineering firm) allows for coaches to work a sustainable number of on-floor hours, avoid burnout and be able to take paid vacation each year

Law #8: The business needs to earn a mini of 20 percent profit (EBITA)

Law #9 (optional): If the above eight laws are followed, it’s possible to create a turnkey asset, where the business can run smoothly without the owner

Again, this e-book focuses on Laws 1 and 2—onboarding new clients—via personal training first.
