Personal Trainer Goal Setting, huh? Not something I expected to encounter coming out of college, but it makes sense. My degree and my certifications never fully prepared me for the business of Personal Training. From what I've seen of Personal Trainers just entering the field, this hasn't changed.

Most new Personal Trainers have devoured as much book knowledge and certifications as possible, yet they are still completely at a loss for what to do on their first day of work. "My Personal Trainer School" is here to show you all of the steps necessary to create your own Personal Training Business Plan to ensure your success in the fitness industry.
