WORK HISTORY

ABOUT FIONA BROWN MINDFUL

Are you a Personal Trainer looking for ways to stand out from the crowd? Are you tired of competing with the other PTs in your gym - all fishing in the same small pond – circling like sharks. When I qualified as a Personal trainer/ Fitness Counsellor with AFAA – The Aerobics & Fitness Association of America - in 1994 there were very few female PTs in my city. I had always hated working-out in a gym and was far more comfortable in a small studio and I decided to apply that logic to who my ideal clients might be. So, when it came time to launch my new business it came as no surprise that I found premises to work in that meant I could replicate the same environment as my clients had at home. By that I mean I chose a select few pieces of equipment – no Smiths Machine, Battle Ropes, or Tractor tyres! Within three months of starting from zero clients I had a full diary with 35 appointments per week. The majority of my clients were women age 50+ and they stayed with me for six or seven years at a time. It turns out my super skill is helping women to boost their confidence and transform their lives both physically and mentally. I have maximised my skills and trained in excess of 350 Pilates teachers and Yoga teachers and also helped them to set up their business. Across the years in my career, I built an accredited training academy and with more than hours of teacher training over 15 years, I can confidently say I\'m an expert and have well and truly honed my craft. When you consider that less than 15% of the adult population in the UK have a gym membership doesn’t it make sense to cast your net wider than the local box gyms. These gyms are filled to the brim with PTs who hold the current Level 3 certificate that training providers seem to be churning out. PTs with carbon copies skills who have been offered very little scope for individuality. In order to be successful in this industry it has never been more important to carve out a niche for yourself. No two trainers are alike. This is what inspired me to create the Mindful PT Academy. I am looking for PTs who are craving more …. who are tired of training clients to work ‘mindlessly’ The opposite of mindless is mindful and when you take time to apply Pilates Principles, Yoga Breathwork and slow right down you will find a whole new market of clients who a desperately seeking a mindful PT. Message me to find out more. I’d love to see you flourish too! Fiona
