In this solo episode of Fitness Business Insights with Matt Robinson, I break down why 90% of PTs are marketing the wrong way and show you the three key market segments every coach must focus on.
I’ll share stories from my own journey, including mistakes I made early on, and how shifting to this approach gave me stability, consistency, and long-term client growth.
