$10K/Month as an Online Personal Trainer

13-minute video from Sukh Sidhu detailing how he became a full-time online personal trainer 💪

He had a head start since he owned a couple of gyms, but I reckon his journey is instructive for anyone wanting to do some kind of online coaching / consulting / training.

First, Sukh found 6 people who agreed to have him as an online personal trainer for 12 weeks. He worked for free and documented their results 📝

The results were so good that all 6 clients stayed on after the 12 weeks, paying Sukh £100/month (approx $125 USD) going forward. And Sukh was able to show off their results on social media and via his email list to land even more clients.

As the service became more popular, Sukh raised his rate. Eventually he had 60 clients paying him £100-250/month. Then he scaled it back down to 40 so he didn’t lose his sanity 🤪

With 40 clients he must have been earning something like £8000/month as an online personal trainer, which is about $10k USD 💰

Sukh kept evolving the business. He started offering online group coaching and brought a couple of other trainers on board to help with the workload.

Eventually he launched his own software product for personal trainers, which was pulling in $30k/month last I checked.

Really cool to see his progression through different levels of online business. And a great example of how a simple 1-to-1 service business can lead to big things 📈
