The Importance of Having a
Personal Training Contract
Our court
systems are clogged with lawsuits, causing the pendulum of justice for
real crimes to swing that much slower. Many of these lawsuits are as a
result of verbal agreements gone sour with no legal paperwork available
to help sort through misunderstandings before they escalate into the
filing of a lawsuit.
Recognize
the importance of having a personal training contract with your clients
regardless of how well you know them, despite your belief that there
would never be cause for misunderstandings between them and you. Even
friendships that were formed years before have been broken apart by
misunderstandings that could not be resolved between two or more
parties. Protect yourself as a personal trainer and your personal
training business by always having a personal training contract between
you and your clients.
The
importance of having a personal training contract with clients is not
limited to just safeguarding you against possible lawsuits. A personal
training contract clearly defines for the client the personal training
services you are offering to them. This includes the number of personal
training sessions that have been contracted for, the pricing of these
personal training sessions, the projected fitness outcome of these
sessions, and any recourse the client may have such as partial refunds,
or additional sessions, if not satisfied with the personal training
services rendered to them.
The
importance of having a personal training contract with all of your
clients can not be overstated in the level of customer relations and
service you will be providing for your personal training clients by
eliminating the possibility for the types of misunderstandings that can
ruin the relationship between a business and its clients to occur. With
a personal training contract, your clients know just what to expect from
you as the personal trainer they have entrusted with overseeing their
fitness program. Clients feel protected by personal training contracts
because they know they will not be surprised by sudden price changes to
services they have already agreed to, or the sudden disappearance of a
personal training service they had really been counting on experiencing
through personal training. And at the same time a personal training
contract protects the reputation of your personal training business
because as long as you provide the services stated within the personal
training contract to a client, statements made contrary to that will not
hold up in court, should it escalate to that point.
The success
of your personal training business and your financial future are too
important to overlook the importance of having a personal training
contract with each of your clients. Make it a habit to establish
personal training contracts with clients, for the protection of your
personal training business interests and for the protection of your
valued clients.
