<p>It was possibly the worst sales pitch I&#8217;d ever heard &#8211; a National Public Radio commercial for a touring company coming to South Florida.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you see one Broadway show this year&#8230; you might want to see Les Miserables.&#8221;</p>

		<title>Are You Doing These Easy Things in Your Personal Training Business?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Most trainers and fitness pros are in the business of trading hours for dollars. &#160;Train a client, get paid.&#160; Don&#8217;t train anyone, don&#8217;t get paid.</p>
<p>Sure, you may receive a small hourly rate from the gym for wandering the floor, but that is still trading hours for dollars.</p>

<p>There are a lot of very good trainers out there who simply don&#8217;t charge what they&#8217;re worth.&#160; Sometimes they don&#8217;t know any better, or in rare occasions the market simply won&#8217;t bear a higher price.&#160; That, btw, is VERY rare.&#160; If your market won&#8217;t pay what you&#8217;re worth, you&#8217;re targeting the wrong market.</p>
