About Me
Before you read further, I want to assure you that you’ve come to the right place.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit my website, and for landing on this page – I can assure you that it will be worth your time.
My name is Nick, and I run a personal training business based in Sheffield called LEP Fitness. I’ve been running the business for almost 7 years, and it’s grown enormously over that time frame.
I know what it’s like to start a business from scratch, it’s tough, and it can be very stressful. When I started out as a personal trainer back in 2012, I had no money and had zero clue how to run a business.
All I had was an idea, plenty of determination, an old pop up gazebo, and some old rusty dumbbells!
At first, I struggled to build my personal training business, it took me a good couple of years to see any progress because I made plenty of mistakes and had zero business experience!
BUT fast forward 7 years… and my business has grown exponentially. I have completed over 10,000 x 1-1 personal training sessions, and have made over 80k per year for the last 4 years – all thanks to personal training and studying the art of business.
I also now work from my private studio, which was built earlier this year…
I know what it takes to build a successful personal training business from scratch and want to help you to do the same.
If you want further validation and proof of my personal training work, please visit the testimonials on my site – there are over 100 testimonials.
The Ultimate Guide To Building Your Personal Training Business…
About 6 months ago, I decided that I wanted to write a book, sharing what I have learned over the last 7 years. The question I asked myself was this…
“Knowing what I know now, how can I help other personal trainers out there wanting to grow their business?
And that inspired me to write a book, basically…sharing all of my tips and secrets.
