As a UPT, we try to handle as much on your behalf as possible. We understand that as a new or struggling trainer, it can sometimes seem a lot if this is the first time you are responsible for running your own business.

Once we have had our initial consultation with you and confirmed that you and your gym location may be the right fit for the UPT service, we initiate what we call our pre-evaluation. This is where we essentially start targeting our digital ads and marketing methods to that specific area to gage preliminary interest. This can take between 7-14 days max. We do this to ensure that there is enough interest in your area that we can see success. We do this because as a business, we are taking a risk with any trainer we bring on board as we take the burden of covering your rent so we do what we can to mitigate this risk and ensure there is relevant interest.

As soon as we have confirmed there is enough interest in your proposed location and your on board with us, you would with our assistance promote the service. We have various marketing materials that we send to all of our trainers to do this, including social media artwork, promos, tactics and key info for gaining new clientele and selling the UPT service. All this and more we detail inside our ‘PT Success Playbook’ which is distributed to all of our trainers that start.

We will then walk you through everything you need to know regarding conducting yourselves in these sessions to ensure you’re 100% confident when you go into it. During this time we will also show you how to use the app, create and manage client training plans and nutrition plans. Our goal here is to make this process of training your clients as easy as possible as if you were a new employee learning a new job. In a new job you’ll usually have a boss or manager that shows you the ropes, sits with you and answers questions and ultimately ensures that you are fully ready to perform the job. In Personal Training unfortunately, you are rarely afforded this luxury so here at PT we aim to be a helping hand to truly induct PTs into the industry in a manor that ensures long term success.

The problem with personal training in the UK at the moment is not all down to the service itself, but also the length of time that it takes PTs to get to the level where they can earn a living wage. What we are finding is that a lot of PT are doing their best to stick to their guns, keep pushing and doing what they should be, however months and months later there still not earning a wage good enough to at least survive. Here underlies the problem.

The UPT service was created as a stepping stone for PTs to be able to earn a living wage so that they may continue to do what they enjoy, and pave the way for them to go off on their own. We do not expect PTs to stay on this service indefinitely but only as long as it takes for them to gain enough experience, client exposure and stability.

One of our key goals with this service is facilitating our PTs ability to earn a living wage which in turn can allow them to continue to pursue a career in the PT industry. Rather than what happens in a lot of instances which is where PTs have no choice but to get other stable full time jobs simply to live, at which point Personal Training takes a backseat or worse, they quit altogether.

We want to encourage our PTs to talk about how our service has helped them grow in the PT industry and are happy to
reward those that refer our business. Therefore if PTs refer our business, they will receive affiliate commissions.

Affiliate links are given to every UPT so that they may profit from simply speaking about our business. Commissions are then sent directly to your bank account if someone joins us as a PT through your website code.

The UPT app is used to manage everything with regards to our PTs and clients. This includes billing, progress tracking and session bookings.

As a PT on our partnering with us, this app will be your means of tracking your clients progress, weights and also communicating with them regarding any changes or updates concerning their training.

Upon your sign up as a UPT, we would have set you up with your UPT log in so that you are ready to be assigned new clients. We would have also set you up on the booking system with your own unique booking link.

The UPT app also includes an exercise library which PTs are either able to refer to themselves or to aid their clients when instructing on new exercises.

To book sessions, clients would simply need to click your booking link which they’ll find inside your version of the app. Then from there the process is very straight forward in booking date and time and workout. The only times that clients shall be able to book are for the times where you have made yourself available as per the agreement (45 hours per week of availability).

Any and all bookings must be taken through this app to ensure that client experience is maintained to a high standard and so there is no confusion with client bookings.
