How do YOU ask a client for PAYMENT??

[MikeP]

Well I'm a private trainer and I'm about to meet my first client next week. He wants a 1 hr session once per week only. I was just wondering, how do you take the money from them? How do you go about asking them for the fees? Do you have them sign a contract? Do you have them pay up weekly? Has a client ever paid you late?

This is a great question. All I can say is get used to the phrase, "I forgot your check at home, I'll bring it next time."

I always found it intersting how they never forget their appointment, but can easily forget to bring your check.

It's part of the business... so don't expect to always get paid when it's time.

Bring a loaded gun and just leave it on the floor, next to the leg press machine. They'll get the point.
