Fitness Trainers & Coaches

Nobody turns up at six in the morning for an app. They turn up for you — and then you go home and write the programs, the check-ins and the renewal messages.

eleven and a half hoursa week.

That’s eleven and a half hours in a normal week — most of it clawed back from the evenings and Sundays this business quietly eats. Your first week will be slower; you’re learning a tool. By week three, the numbers above are realistic. Chapter 12 gives you the 30-day plan to get there.

Read the opening before you decide.

Not a sample that stops mid-sentence — the whole first section, as
printed, the title of every prompt in the library, and the guide to the trade.

Prompt #1.

Printed exactly as it appears in the book. The yellow parts
are the blanks you fill in — there are thousands across the 150 prompts, and
they are why this works on your trade rather than a generic one.

COPY THIS — Prompt #1 · Your permanent profile

Paste into the custom instructions / profile box: “I’m a certified personal trainer ([YOUR CERT, e.g., NASM-CPT]) in [CITY, STATE] running [IN-PERSON / ONLINE / HYBRID] coaching as [BUSINESS NAME]. I mostly coach [WHO — e.g., women 40+, desk workers, new lifters]. When I ask you to write anything client-facing: warm, direct, plain English, 8th-grade reading level, no hype, no guilt language, no wall of exclamation points. Never write sets, reps, loads, exercise selections, or any nutrition numbers unless I give them to you — leave blanks for me. Never diagnose, treat, or give medical or injury advice; if a draft starts drifting that way, flag it instead of writing it. Never promise results or timelines.”

The questions people actually ask.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book?

Not yet. The free tiers of both tools will carry you through this book’s TRY IT NOW exercises and your first weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (roughly $20/month) when you hit the free tier’s daily limits on a normal coaching day — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. Chapter 11 covers what the money buys.

Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job?

No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “this book will not tell you AI is magic. It’s a power tool. It kicks. We’ll show you where — and for a trainer, “where” includes places that can cost you your certification, your insurance, or a client’s trust. Chapter 10 is short and you will read it.” You can read the whole opening, Nobody Turns Up at Six for an App, free: 2,195 words, no sign-up.

What is actually in the 150 prompts?

Eight groups: Setup & Voice (1–15), Client Acquisition (16–40), Client Communication (41–65), Programming Support & Documentation (66–85), Retention & Reviews (86–105), Content & Knowledge (106–120), Marketing & Growth (121–145), Admin & Momentum (146–150). Every title is listed free on the prompt page, and twelve of the prompts are printed there in full.

I have never used AI at work. Is this too advanced?

It assumes nothing. Chapter 2 is “The 30-Minute Setup” and Chapter 3 is “How to Talk to It” — the tool is set up and the one real skill is taught before anything else is asked of you. The glossary at the back explains every term the book uses.

How long is it?

It is about 30,235 words across 12 chapters, plus the 150-prompt library and the glossary; the audiobook runs 2h 29m across 20 tracks, measured from the masters on 2026-08-31. Chapters 1–3 take about an hour and everything else depends on them.
