You can market yourself as Personal Trainer on the 20 Weeks Body & Lifestyle Competition using the resources below. You don’t need to ask us first
Before using any simply read our terms and conditions for trainers as well as for the entrants that way you will know how to answer people’s questions about the comp and be able to set them up with packages with you to suit.
1. Posters
Having professional posters that affiliate yourself with a big brand and which sell what you do can make a world of difference. We’ve put five posters together which you can put your name all over, attach your business card to and/or email out!
If you leave our 0800 phone number as well and they call us first we will always ask which PTs name was on the poster and refer them back to you.

Best use of posters.
Sent in emails, placed on websites and uploaded on to sites like Facebook has resulted in good hits for PTs.
Placing posters up, in quality locations (i.e. places where someone already knows you, like the offices of where your friends or family work, as well as studios and fitness facilities are regarded as ‘quality’ ) can also get a great reaction – just be sure to add your details or business card to them.
Printing is done at your own cost and to ensure you come across as a professional we strongly suggest printing them in colour on quality paper or card, place them in plastic stands or make them into cardboard stands for added affect.
Before putting up inside of fitness facilities or shops double check with the owner or manager that they are ok with it and always re-visit any locations where you have put up posters after the competition has started and take them down.
Ideas on altering your poster: (see the example on the left).
If you’d like to put your details onto the actual poster before you email or print it out you can use a a graphics person like Peter Grundy peter@resolvdesign.co.nz who makes these posters for us and his rates are very reasonable, or
b) save the PDF as a jpg then edit this by either a) placing a text box with your details on to the top of it orc) by placing the jpg inside a word document and typing around it, alternatively just d) print our PDF poster out, physically place/type/write your details where ever you’d like them on the poster and scan the final product – saving the final document as an image for sending and printing on. Hope that helps.
Some personal trainers have invited people to train under them for the 20 Weeks competition on their Facebook and got a great response, from a month before the comp has started right up until 3 weeks after it has started (3 weeks after our official start date is our final cut off point for late entries).

Dwayne Thomas has been a PT on this Competition several times and won the Best PTAward three times. This is an example of his most recent 20 weeks package – i.e. what he gives people and how he sells himself and the competition. Dwayne tells us that he builds his business around the 20 week comp and using this package is how he does it. While everything that he includes in here may not gel with you it’ll certainly give you a few ideas. The cover page he uses pics of his previous clients – he obviously didn’t have this first time around but he used all the material we had as above. 20 week comp Plan 2011 (1)
