Bootcamp Routines for Personal Trainers

Many personal trainers are looking for bootcamp routines to start their own fitness bootcamps. It's a great way to supplement their personal training income or create their own bootcamp business. For a bootcamp business to be successful it must have a variety of routines. No one likes to do the same exercises each workout. The larger variety of bootcamp routines that you have, the more bootcampers you will have and the happier they will be.

Creating exercises is one of the areas that personal trainers struggle with in their bootcamp business. This takes up a lot of time that they could be using to grow their business. The easiest way to create new routines is by creating lots of mini circuits that you can put together to form your workout routines. Circuits can be created with similar body part exercises or exercises from different body parts. Bootcamp workout routines could focus on abs, legs, upper body, butt, arm, core strength or you can combine them into a full body routine. You can also mix up your circuits by creating circuits that are of different time lengths with different number of exercises. Circuits could be 5, 10 or 20 minutes with 20, 30, or 60 seconds per exercise. It's up to you. Once you see what your clients like the best and what gets them the best results then you can create routines following that template.

A great way to start your bootcamp routines is with warm up exercises for 5 to 10 minutes. Get everyone to loosen up so you don't have anyone pulling muscles or getting hurt. The warmup can be followed by 2 to 4 different circuits that you can perform 1 to 3 times each. At the end of the session have your group do a fun exercise that will help them to bond as a group. Don't forget to add in a cool down and some stretching at the end of your bootcamp session.

Here are some exercises you can include in your bootcamp circuit routines.

Upper body Exercises

Push-ups, T-push-ups, Spider-man push-ups, kneeling push-ups, staggered push-ups.

Abdominal Exercises

Mountain Climbers, Planks, Side Planks, Spider-man Climbs, leg lifts, bicycles,

Leg Exercises

Lunges, diagonal lunges, reverse lunges, side lunges, reaching lunges, Squats, sumo squats, prisoner squats, one leg squats, squat thrusts, One leg deadlifts,

Other Exercises

Side Jumps, Jumping jacks, running on the spot, leg swings, arm crosses.

This should get you started in the right direction towards starting to create bootcamp routines for your bootcamp business.

7 Bootcamp Business Promotion Tips

Bootcamps are becoming a popular business venture for personal trainers but many have a hard time thinking of bootcamp business promotions they can use to get more clients. Bootcamps are a great way for a personal trainer to make extra income. Personal trainers can run a bootcamp for a couple hours a day and make just as much as they do with their personal training sessions for the day. With bootcamp classes personal trainers are able to train as many clients in one session as they do all day with their personal training sessions. This is beneficial for both the personal trainers and clients. Personal trainers become more productive by training more people in less time and clients get to save money while still getting the personal training experience.

There are many ways a bootcamp business can be promoted. Here are several bootcamp business promotion tips that you can use for your personal training business.

E-mail your current personal training clients - This may take away from your personal training income but it will also free up more time for you to focus on your bootcamp business. These clients may have friends that want to join with them.

Flyers - Post flyers at gyms, grocery stores, community centers, and other places around your community that have bulletin boards available for advertising.

Start a Facebook fan page - A facebook fan page is a great free way to get people to share their experiences from bootcamp with their friends. You can also post updates for the group about schedule changes, workouts and nutrition tips. Ask your clients to like the page and share it with their friends as well. This will help your business go viral.

Give out T-shirts - Many successful gyms give out t-shirts to new members. If they stand out in some way people will notice and ask them about the program. This is a great way to get your clients talking about the bootcamp and promoting your bootcamp.

Give Incentives for referrals - Give your current clients an incentive for referring new members. You may give them a discount for each new person or perhaps several weeks free if someone signs up for a couple months.

Group Discount - Lots of people like to workout with friends or family. You can give them a discount if they join up together.

2 Weeks free - Give out cards to your current clients to pass around to their friends that gives them 2 weeks free to try out the bootcamp with their friend. If their friend joins then they get an incentive.
