Going ‘social’ shouldn’t be difficult nor time-consuming! After all, we know you’re busy training clients and building your business! The good news is that Social Media just got easier for fitness professionals and trainers with the help of Skimble’s Trainer Tools.
Whether you’re already a savvy social media rockstar or just getting started, we’ve got some tips on how to enhance your coaching business with Workout Trainer’s social features. There’s no time like the present, so grab your phone and start experimenting!
Facebook and Twitter are great social media platforms for trainers looking to expand their client base. Both platforms present an opportunity to reach a large number of people within AND outside of your current network!
IDEA: Invite people to join your upcoming training session by sharing a ‘teaser’ or sample workout.
Let’s say you run a weekly bootcamp on Saturday mornings in Dolores Park and you would love to see your attendance increase. Create a teaser workout in Workout Trainer and share it on Facebook and Twitter to encourage others to come out and join your bootcamp session.
For your regular bootcamp attendees, you could follow up with a mid-week ‘thank you’ bonus workout that they can do before next weekend’s session. Have your clients share the sample workout on their social media profiles too. Soon you may need to add another bootcamp session to your week to fulfill the demand!

Let’s look at another example of how Workout Trainer’s sharing functionality can be useful when training existing clients. Alongside integration with major social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, Skimble Verified Trainers can also use email or text messages to share workouts directly with their clients.
IDEA: Share workouts with your clients when they travel or miss their in-person training session.
If one of your regular clients is away traveling for work this week, create a workout and send it to them directly so they can do a remote session. It’s a win-win situation! You’re happy because your client is continuing to make progress towards achieving their fitness goals, and they stay motivated and don’t miss out on their weekly training session with you.
