Hi to fellow fitness enthusiasts and also beginners who want to get involve into fitness training.

My name is Kevin Chow. And I would like to use this platform to advertise what I am providing.

I want to provide a personal coaching/training service. As many people are very shy to approach to a commercial gym and get a very expensive trainer. I am specialized in fat loss and muscle gaining training. I will create a suitable training plan base on your need and also give advise on your daily diet.

We will meet at your desired location such as your house's gymnasium, or the gym you use to train at. Whichever is more convenient to you.

The first session will be free[SIZE=14]. I don't want any money if you are not satisfied with my style of training. And if it is ok, we will work out the price. Usually I only charge RM35[SIZE=14] per session. Each session will be 1.5 to 2 hours ( I am not very specific with the time. Depends on your training and schedule).

My area of service is within PJ area, and anywhere around Klang Valley. We can discuss this. No extra charges for that too.

Moderators, I hope this is the correct place to post this. Thank you.

Yea man, everyone who achieve great body/strength in the gym can be a trainer. But a trainer with qualification and some dip in food/human anatomy is soooo hard to find in Malaysia.

What is a trainer?

People think trainer is everything, degree in sport science, phd in psychology, master in food nutrition, with a double degree in gastronomy and physiology.

And client think paying rm20 per session is very expensive.

Dude, if you got all those degree and stuff, people won't mind paying extra. Not like some of the so called trainer in those expensive gym, which in fact actually, is salesman.

unless ur some celebrity trainer etc, i dont see ppl paying extra...extra as in reaching what say a psychiatrist can charge like a min of rm100 / 30mins.
these are the kinds of things where ppl think they can do, so they dont want to pay extra...just like some who everyday lowball photographers etc.
yet ask the ppl to do it, and they fail miserably
btw, to TS...wrong section.

Obviously you have not survey the market, I can attest that FF charges RM80 to RM120 per personal training session (depending on how many sessions you order). Each session is about 45 minutes so it's close to your 'psychiatrist' rate.

I doubt these guys got any diploma or degree in physiotherapy besides the basic PT course offered by FF to all their new PT staff.

How's business? Some of the personal trainers require 3 mths advance booking and I know some 'lembut men' who book 12 mths PT courses for the past 3 yrs.

i think that's probably the main reason, for 'extra services'...

Nope that the standard rate for Ff. I m sure other fitness Centre oso charge the same rate as I see the PTs jumping to other franchises.

As for real qualifications, I don't see them listing it on their biodata so I assume only the basic course offered by the fitness center. Of course some of them won some Miss Sari pagent / Miss Chinatown or some amateur bodybuilding competition but no real certification.

I don't mean to put down the PTs, in fact I find some of them to be very good ppl. I m just letting you know that there are ppl paying good money for PTs (not your RM30 per pop) if you know where and how to market yourself. Most of the time it is not you average bodybuilding youth or bikini model, it is the overweight middle aged uncle or aunty.

The overweight middle age uncle aunty  you mrntioned is the client or PT?

I thought you have a degree in electrical engineering

Before that, why not show some of your qualification or your knowledge in fitness training.

If you are what you claimed, i might ask for some session to correct my posture (Sometimes need another eye to check)

To me only hard work brings results.

In the world of sports, no

Hard work will bring you no where, if hard work works, no body need a specialist coach.

Smart work brings results.

Curling biceps 100 reps a day, everyday ( hard work) is not gonna give you better result than curling 50 reps, 2 times a week.

With hard work, you will reach plateau, with smart work and smart programing ( linear, step, wave, i bet ya dont know these) , you will breaks plateau.

Train smart, not train hard.

Yeah I agree with that. Also by saying training hard I don't mean training blindly.
Thanks for the heads up. You surely have more knowledge than I do.

just a suggestion...usually ppl get attracted to what their eyes see..
i like what you're doing, and you seem humble.
but a pic of yourself would immediately earn both respect and interest.
unless u're not too confident about how you look which is completely fine (aren't most of us)...then perhaps a different business would be more suitable.
