Exactly what is says it is

A nice little 45 minute read on all the basics of a personal trainer business. Certainly not your guide to writing your business plan BUT it does pretend to be. A very good overview of the pieces that need to come together. A good read John Gregory Vincent [...] The "CURE" for the Common Workplace

Good read

I found this book to be a great read. Very well-written, easy to read-nice and to the point. I really liked the real life examples they reference in the book. They have real life stories of personal trainers and how they started out in the industry. The book gives a great side by side comparison of a personal trainer starting their own studio vs. a trainer starting out with an in-home business. The only thing keeping this from a 5, in my opinion, is they don't really do into detail about the "next step." For example, you need to obtain a business license, permit etc., but they do not go into any details. But there are other books out there for this. I would also recommened reading Personal Training for Dummies, they go into great detail about how to really launch your business, and what exactly you will need.

Good advice---great insight

We enjoyed this book as it provided up with information that helped us make a decision on whether to pursure a career in the fitness industry. I would recommend it.
