Equipment for sale
Hello, I have some equipment of the Nautilus 2st line for sale. Reason is that soon I will move to a new house and will have limited space for my garage gym. Now my equipment hasn't been used that much since I own for over 10 years in my private gym. It's me my wife and about 6 friends thst workout here. So compared to it's construction each machine had a breeze at my location. Have to say, all protection shields are gone, since I like that " naked" look. I have: Legpress Abduktor Adduktor Calves Rotary Row Further I sell 2 pulldown, seated row, squat cage, smith machine and dumbells from 35 to 60 kg. If someone is interested just contact me. I like to give my equipment a good new home. Thanks.

Client Retention: What Keeps People Coming Back?
I’ve been reflecting on client retention and the long-term value of supervised high-intensity strength training, and I’d be interested in hearing about your experiences. I work as an independent personal trainer in a commercial gym, where clients can use the same equipment and train independently. Unlike in a dedicated HIT studio, personal training is an optional service. Some clients stay for years. Others gradually stop scheduling sessions, even when they’ve made progress and expressed satisfaction with the training. Some simply want to learn how to train effectively and eventually feel confident doing it themselves. This has made me reconsider how I select clients and communicate the value of ongoing supervision. I’m particularly curious: - Client selection: How do you identify people who are likely to value a long-term training relationship? - Retention: Have you asked former clients why they stopped? What did you learn? - Ongoing value: How do you communicate the benefits of continued supervision once clients understand the method and can perform the exercises independently? I’m also interested in whether trainers operating in commercial gyms experience different retention challenges from those running dedicated HIT studios. I’d especially appreciate hearing what you’ve actually tried, what worked, and what didn’t. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Great post Daniel. Just weighing in here. Probably reminding you of stuff we've talked about before, but this may also be helpful to others. Client selection: I think the first step is to identify your target market. They are, by definition, your best clients who value long term training. Once you know your target market, you go where they are and get more. Retention: I have found it's difficult to find the real reason when it's not something obvious like they have lost their job, moving house, etc. If it's a value thing, people will often say a white lie than tell you that it's just not as valuable to them. As discussed, in a less than ideal environment, like most commercial gyms, the service has to be outstanding, consistently. Ongoing value: Same as above. It's obvious if the coaching is 10/10. You can also share articles on the evidence behind supervision. I would summarise for simplicity. Some stuff here https://www.skool.com/hib-free/strength-training-studies I would love to hear more experience from trainers here who have experience operating in their own studio and a commercial gym to get a better sample of the differences. Intuitively, it should be a lot easier to retain clients in a studio environment.

Trouble with Strength Forum Payment Site
Just wondering if someone out of country (Non US) is or has had issues paying for the Strength Forum? I have a message into Luke and I am sure it will get cleared up but just checking to see if anyone else had an issue and if so how they fixed it. I believe the issue is in Canada we don't have zip codes, we have postal codes and I don't think the site like that. Hoping to get it solved without bothering the team at Discover.

@Michael Petrella resolved?
RTS Global
Has anyone looked into the Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) company and their certifications? I’ve been told they are good but have no experience with them. Cheers

@Jeremy Amin honestly, I just can't remember, but Tom Purvis has come up again and again in conversations with HIT pros.
