I’m Shaun Jones, and I’ve spent 16 years in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, gym owner and coach.
But the first few years were rough. I struggled for 2½ years and at one point lost 11 clients in just six weeks.
That forced me to stop guessing, learn properly and build a system.
From there, I built my 1-to-1 PT business to around £7,500 per month, opened my own gym, scaled it to around £250,000 per year, helped 70+ PTs, and eventually sold the business.
And one thing I learned along the way is that beginners don’t need more complexity — they need the basics explained clearly.
