Before you begin your business you should have well thought out business operations. Your operations include your policies, procedures, systems and any forms that you will need. Established operations will help you save time and ensure that your business runs smoothly. These documents should not just live in a binder, but must be utilized and communicated to their targeted recipient whether a client, independent contractor, employee or vendor. Remember, successful people are organized people so take the time up front to make sure you have all of your policies, systems, and forms in place. Use the sample checklist of policies, procedures and forms below to help you in the establishment of your mobile fitness business.

Our frustration with the lack of resources for the mobile trainer led Ryan and I to start presenting at Health and Fitness conferences and we also created a resource manual called, The Mobile Fitness Guide To Business Success!
