Services page examples for personal trainers

A services section has two jobs: help the right person recognise their problem, and stop the wrong enquiry before it reaches you.

Ten of them follow, written for personal trainers rather than filled in from a template. Your customer is someone who has restarted three times and wants it to stick, and what they are weighing up before they get in touch is being shouted at, being the least fit person in the room, and being sold supplements.


Straight list with a lead-in

## What I do I am a personal trainer working across [your area]. **One-to-one training** — [one line on what this involves for you] **Strength programmes** — [one line on what this involves for you] **Weight loss coaching** — [one line on what this involves for you] **Return from injury** — [one line on what this involves for you] **Online programming** — [one line on what this involves for you] Not sure which you need? I start with a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting.

Use this as the default. It is clear and it ranks.

Organised by the problem

## What I can help with **[The problem, in their words]** → One-to-one training **[The problem, in their words]** → Strength programmes **[The problem, in their words]** → Weight loss coaching **[The problem, in their words]** → Return from injury **[The problem, in their words]** → Online programming If what is wrong is not on this list, ask anyway. I will tell you honestly whether it is mys to fix.

Use this when people describe a symptom, not a service name.

With prices

## Services and prices **One-to-one training** — from [$X] **Strength programmes** — from [$X] **Weight loss coaching** — from [$X] **Return from injury** — from [$X] Prices are starting points, confirmed in writing before any work begins. I train people who started exactly where you are.

Use this if you will publish prices. It filters out the wrong enquiries before they reach you.

One flagship, then the rest

## One-to-one training This is most of what I do, and it is what I am best at. Building something they can carry on alone is the difference between doing it and doing it properly. **I also do:** strength programmes, weight loss coaching, return from injury and online programming. I start with a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting.

Use this when most of your revenue comes from one service.

What is included

## What is included Every session includes: - I train people who started exactly where you are - I build programmes you can keep doing without me - I do not sell supplements - [one more thing you always include] **Services:** one-to-one training, strength programmes, weight loss coaching, return from injury and online programming. If something is not included, I say so in the quote rather than on the invoice.

Use this where customers have been stung by things that turned out to be extra.

For each customer type

## Who I work with **[Customer type one]** — one-to-one training and strength programmes. **[Customer type two]** — weight loss coaching, return from injury and online programming. I am a certified personal trainer. I start with a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting.

Use this if you serve two clearly different groups.

Process-led

## How it works **1. Get in touch.** I start with a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting. **2. I agree it in writing.** Scope and price, before anything starts. **3. I do the work.** One-to-one training, strength programmes and weight loss coaching — whatever the session needs. **4. I finish.** I do not sell supplements.

Use this when the how matters as much as the what.

Short

**One-to-one training** · **Strength programmes** · **Weight loss coaching** A certified personal trainer. I train people who started exactly where you are. Book your first session.

For a homepage strip — Use this where services sit as three cards on the homepage, not a page of their own.

With the limits stated

## What I do — and what I do not **I do:** one-to-one training, strength programmes, weight loss coaching, return from injury and online programming. **I do not:** [the things you turn down — be specific]. If that is what you need, [name someone who does it well] is who I would call. Saying so up front saves us both a phone call.

Use this to stop wasting time on enquiries you will only turn down.

Emergency and scheduled split

## Emergency [Response time], [hours]. One-to-one training and anything that cannot wait until Monday. ## Planned work strength programmes, weight loss coaching, return from injury and online programming. Booked in, quoted in writing, done on the date I agreed. I am a certified personal trainer for both.

Use this when urgent work and planned work are genuinely different offers.

Writing for personal trainers: what actually matters

What should a personal trainer’s website say that a generic one does not?

Three things, in this order. That you are certified and insured. That you understand the thing people are actually worried about, which for personal trainers is being shouted at, being the least fit person in the room, and being sold supplements. And what happens next: a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting. Everything else on the page is decoration by comparison.

What does someone who has restarted three times and wants it to stick check first?

The credential, then the proof. For personal trainers it sounds like this. I train people who started exactly where you are. I build programmes you can keep doing without me. I do not sell supplements. Put at least one of those above the fold rather than on a separate page nobody opens.

What is the most common mistake on a personal trainer’s website?

Writing about the business instead of the customer. "We have been established since 1998" answers a question nobody asked. "I start with a first session that is an assessment, not a beasting" answers the one they are actually holding. If you only fix one thing, fix that.

How long should the copy be?

Shorter than you think, except where trust is being built. An About page of 120 well-chosen words beats 500 vague ones. The exception is anything explaining being shouted at, being the least fit person in the room, and being sold supplements — there, specifics earn their length.
