If you do not set a goal, you will never achieve it. When it comes to training more sessions, goal setting is a must. Determine where you are now, and where you want to be and write your goal down. Your chances of achieve your goals increase 50% just by write down and periodically reviewing them (something you may want to share with your clients).

Answering the following questions will help you in setting your session goal and reaching it.

• How many sessions did you do this week?
• How Many Sessions will you next week week?
• Are you happy with that number?
• How can you increase that number?

A fast way to add extra sessions is to call your existing clients and ask them to come in an extra day e.g. if they train twice a week, ask them in for a third time. Another sure fire way is to add more clients to your client list. Just like a weekly sessions goal, you should also have a monthly new client goal. Here are a few short cuts to building up your client list

• *Ask your most satisfied clients for referrals.
• Call up all of your old clients who stopped training
• Prospect using what you learned from AFI

*If asking for referrals in not your strength, think about adding "The greatest compliment a client can give me is a referral to one of their friends." to the back of your business cards. I have seen it often enough in many other industries, but never in personal training. Referrals should be a large part of your client growth strategy.
