Workshops
Why run workshops
I’ve organised over 300 workshops in my time as a fitness professional and can confidently say they make for an awesome way to support your existing customers and bring in heaps of new leads, and that holds true whether you’re a gym, a personal trainer, a dietitian, a group fitness instructor, a physiotherapist or any other type of health and fitness professional.
If you’re not convinced, or are worried that you wouldn’t be able to pull them off then watch the short intro vid on this page and sign up to my monthly newsletter for tips and ideas, or download the three part series of books on Amazon.
