I've tried training certain people to the max before, first session throw a lot at them. They get a great session but sometimes it scares them off. Some people just don't want to work hard and would prefer to go through the motions. I know they will question you when they don't see the results...

Insurance wise I'd make sure that your home insurance covers you for business use and you have full liability personal training insurance. I'm guessing there may be some tax issues, bit different in the US but you can claim tax back for using your own home aswel as utility expenses like...

Hi guys Would you kindly review my website please. I've designed it myself and have had my own pictures done. I don't know whether i'm putting "too" much information on it with explaining my process, equipment used etc. Should I make it a little more simple...
