There are roughly 400,000 fitness coaches in the United States right now. In-person and online combined.

There are 262 million adults.

Nearly 3 in 4 of them are overweight or obese.

79% of them are active on social media — that's over 207 million potential clients.

That means there are more than 500 potential clients for every single coach in this country.

Five hundred to one.

Online fitness is not saturated. Your algorithm is saturated. There's a difference.

Today I'm going to break down exactly how to transition from in-person to online coaching — without losing your clients, without undercharging, and without spending your life doing Zoom workouts.

We've helped more than 1,300 in-person trainers make this exact move. I'm going to walk you through the whole thing — the offer, how delivery actually works, how you get clients, and the math behind what this can realistically look like.
