If you want to work as a personal trainer or coach, you probably already know that you can apply to work for a gym like Equinox or 24-Hour Fitness. What you may not know is that a handful of online platforms can also help you find clients for your personal training or coaching business.

The best of those:

Fiver

Fiverr has evolved into a marketplace where freelancers of nearly all stripes can earn five- and six-figure incomes.  The site’s “lifestyle and fitness” category includes dozens of people selling diet and fitness services from $15 to more than $100 per “package.” You determine what’s included in the package — whether it’s video-taped sessions; written material; video classes, etc. — and whether your personal training and coaching services are done online or in person.
