The Key Concept In Your Personal Trainer Business Plan
Bankers see the word "personal" and think "small". "Tiny", actually. Well, that probably isn't the case or you wouldn't be looking for funding.
So try not to use the word "personal". (We used it here because that is how a lot of us search for this type of business plan.) Use "customized" or "professional". The fact that you provide personal services can certainly be a component of your financials, even a strong component, but be certain that your service offerings match your equipment needs and financing request.

Hu. "My pilates program has really taken off. Thanks to the financing we just go, we have room now for lots more students."
Sal Venducci. "I thought it would really be a problem financing our martial arts club. When I showed it to my cousin (he's an English professor), he funded it himself. He was really impressed we were so aware of the business angle to our martial arts studio."
Gwen Beavers. "I tried for over two years to write a business plan with a different program, and I just couldn't do it. It took so long to learn the program that I never really learned it. Yours was a snap. I am so glad I found you."
