Your Personal Health Insurance
For those out there running their business full-time, what do you do for your own health insurance? Do you have a plan directly from a provider? Any tips on affordability when you are not getting health insurance through an employer?

Here is an additional resource that I found for anyone looking into this. Keep in mind, this is the bare minimum coverage with a high deductible. How Much Does a High-Deductible Health Plan Cost? So, what are the actual numbers on one of these things? On average, single Americans with an HSA-qualified HDHP had an annual premium of $7,170 ($598 a month) in 2022. For families, the average premium was $21,079 per year ($1,757 a month).1 If you got your HSA-qualified HDHP through your employer, your average numbers looked like $90 per month if you were single and $432 for your family.2 What this means for me, and maybe some others, is that if you are transitioning away from a full-time job with benefits, you could be spending an additional $21,000+ per year. That’s not including any fringe benefits like contribution matching. It’s definitely something to keep in consideration. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/insurance/what-is-high-deductible-health-insurance?srsltid=AfmBOopGqXb7YCUIAaKArkJzbbTeUybfS8WiNRHIejhvBwDvA3ilhOZs
Workout frequency for optimal health benefits?
Since we know how beneficial strength training is for all types of physiological effects like glucose uptake, blood pressure improvements, cardiovascular improvements, mental wellness, etc; what would be the optimal dose and frequency to maximize all the health benefits of strength training? Obviously, for muscle hypertrophy and strength gains we need rest in-between workouts, but are we missing out on all the other, maybe even more important, benefits of strength training by limiting our sessions to once or twice a week? I’m curious if maybe training more frequently, but using a split routine might get you the health benefits from strength training without overtraining problems. How best to balance out all the benefits of strength training through increasing frequency with the need for rest and recovery and super-adaptation. Thoughts?

It depends on individual recovery ability. There is nothing wrong with a 3 day per week program like A/B/A if clients have the means. We are typically not working with people leg pressing 500 lbs to failure, and CNS fatigue is just not going to be as great with most of our clients. If someone’s primary goal is weight management or resolving metabolic disease, they are going to get better results with more frequent activity, no doubt about it. I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with prescribing low intensity cardio work in between sessions.
What is your Goal?
I speak to a lot of different HIT business owners at all levels. A lot of people act without a clear goal. They make tactical decisions without a north star. It doesn't matter if your goal is 10 sessions per week, $200/yr in your garage gym, or 3 locations with 9 trainers. Your goal is unique to you. Just have a goal, and make decisions around it. Don't be aimless, make bad decisions, and create a business you never wanted. What is your goal? Comment below.

@Lawrence Neal it is $60 per session in 4 or 8 session packages. The office I work at which does the billing cannot logistically do recurring payments or multi-month commitments, so I am stuck where I am at for now with pricing unless I just lower it, which I don’t think is a good idea. I will consider starting a journal.

@Lawrence Neal I had a sit down with the local Anytime Fitness training manager because he asked me to bring my clients over. They are charging $75-80 for a 1 hour session, but they are mostly transitioning to a semi-private model.
Are you doing PAR-Q and ePARmed-x?
Has anyone here asked a client to complete a PAR-Q form which resulted in you referring them to a physician for clearance with the ePARmed-x form? I’m wanting to bring more outside clients into the medical & chiropractic center where I train, but I have to establish patient status within the facility first. This seems like it could be a logical approach, while also demonstrating a high level of care, even if they do incur an additional cost from the clinic for the clearance. https://eparmedx.com

Hi all. I have been a part-time trainer since 2010 with a short stint managing a fitness center full time from 2016-2017. I am currently training a handful of clients within a chiropractic center gym in Kansas City using high intensity principles. In the last 6 months, I have realized that I still have a lot to learn about starting business, but it has been a beneficial experience overall. I’m still trying to determine if there is potential for me to do this full time.
