If you’ve ever been told to “just manifest abundance” while working 12-hour days, rescheduling your life around flaky clients, and barely affording rent—this is your wake-up call.
We don’t believe in poverty wages dressed up as passion.
We don’t believe in spending $10K on a mindset coach who’s never coached an actual human through a squat.
We don’t believe in trickery, hustle cults, or pretending the industry isn’t broken in places.
But we do believe in you.
Sweat Equity Coaching is built for the coach doing it all, wondering if it’s meant to be this hard.
We’re not selling you an escape plan to Bali. We’re building grounded, honest, sustainable coaching businesses—ones that reflect who you really are, not who you’re told to pretend to be on Instagram.
We work with real personal trainers, semi-private legends, and small studio owners who want:
Proof of concept before spending thousands on branding fluff
Systems that attract the right clients and keep them
Income that doesn’t require splitting your soul into 6 time zones
A business that doesn’t burn you out—or forget why you started in the first place
What Makes Us Different? We Teach What Actually Works.
(No sleazy DMs. No pretending you’re a millionaire. No magic funnels.)
We show you:
The small levers that change your client retention overnight
How to design offers people actually want to buy (because you’re listening, not guessing)
How to price with confidence—and sleep at night
How to speak to real humans without needing a marketing degree
And yes, how to set boundaries without feeling like you’re abandoning your people
You won’t find hype here. You’ll find peer support, shared lessons (from wins and wipeouts), and education that’s always evolving—because we’re not afraid to revise our methods when the evidence changes.
That includes real training on fatigue management, long COVID, chronic illness, and new conditions that are reshaping the fitness landscape—because if you’re not updating, you’re falling behind.
Who We Don’t Work With:
People who put profits over people.
Trainers who want quick wins instead of real impact.
Anyone building a business based on smoke and mirrors.
(If you’re into cold DMs, fake scarcity, or pretending you’re booked out when you’re not… keep scrolling.)
Here’s the truth:
You can be kind and profitable.
You can care deeply and have a waitlist.
You can change lives and live yours.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
