Finally! After 2 days of searching help pages, phoning friends for advice and generally getting frustrated with my laptop I have figured out how to access my Blog again!! Stupidly I set it up to my new email address without first configuring my inbox so I'd receive emails! Doh! Oh well I'm here now and actually quite chuffed that I managed to figure it out - yippee!
Anyway I am supposed to have posted what I think I am worth (or I should say what my services are worth), and why:
At this moment in time I believe I should be charging £50/hour. Why? Because I am a specialist in my area of rehabilitation and strength coaching. I have 5 years experience in my field and without being bigheaded I know I am good at what I do. I have many proven successes to my name and I am always striving to learn, grow and be better at what I do. Of all the trainers I know in my area there are only two other trainers that I recognise as being specialists in their field and that have the passion and thirst for knowledge that enables them to establish themselves as experts in their field. Their links are on my blog.
In reality though I find myself in a cutthroat market. I haven't marketed my strengths properly and I find myself working at reduced fees because of this. I have relegated myself to the title of Personal Trainer which could mean anything. What does a Personal Trainer do? My interpretation would be - anything you want them to do. They want to be everything to everyone. If you want to lose weight then a Personal Trainer will help you do it, if you love golf then suddenly they are a golf specialist. In truth they are none of these things. This is why I am on a path to excellence. I am not and do not want to be a Personal Trainer. I am a rehabilitation therapist and strength coach and do not profess to be anything I'm not.
