How can a strength training business help you earn almost 3x more than you used to while giving you more free time and a lot less stress?
Renfo Max Pro Founder Daniele Schittone knows exactly how that feels, because he’s done just that! He joins the podcast to talk about how he went from working in the hotel industry to almost burning out as a personal trainer, and finally having it all click for him after discovering HIT and virtual training.
We’ll talk about how he realized virtual training was going to be great for him, how he runs his virtual workout sessions, group virtual training, developing the skills you need, and advice for trainers who want to get into it.
If you want to get into personal training with the lowest barrier to entry and the highest potential upside, tune in to this episode.
