Prospective fitness clients can choose you by selecting your profile from the Browse Fitness Trainer page or we can match you directly to a client that has requested our assistance to find a fitness professional. In both cases, we prequalify each client before assigning them to you to make sure they are ready, willing, and able to hire a personal trainer.

We are different from other personal trainer directories on the Internet in a number of ways. Directories tend to be passive listing sites with little to no advertising by the site creator. They allow any trainer to join their listing service without proper screening and they have a national focus as opposed to a local view.
On the other hand, we are actively engaged with our users to help them find a fitness professional via our website and our dedicated client support toll-free number. We are very selective in terms of who can join our personal trainer network. We have a national presence but focus our marketing and advertising in your local market to ensure that you get quality client leads.
It's easy to join. Complete our personal trainer network registration form. We will immediately start the screening process and contact you for a quick 10-minute phone interview. It takes us about 48 - 72 hours to complete our comprehensive background check. We will notify you of our decision by email.
No worries. We can introduce you to trustworthy insurance companies that cater to the fitness industry. Please understand that having the right amount of insurance coverage is a small price to pay for your client's peace of mind.
Let us know during the registration process if you will need our assistance with insurance coverage.
Your fitness professional profile will appear on our Browse Fitness Trainer page, available to prospective clients searching for a personal trainer in your local market. We will also send clients to you who request our help offline to find a fitness professional.

We do not refund a client lead referral fee. We spend a considerable amount of time qualifying the prospective client before assigning the lead to you.
