With training facilities or training space so After getting on a number at number of calls, I decided, you know what? I'm gonna create a video Talking about a number of ways that you can save money With this problem. Okay, it's a problem that a lot of coaches have but it's a problem that can be solved if number one you make a commitment to solving it and The next one if you go through the the steps that I'm about to share with you today and you implement them You will not only save money, but you might end up finding somewhere to train permanently All year round. Okay, so the first one is utilize public spaces now what I want you to do is go into Google and Find public spaces that you could potentially use to run your training sessions So this could be public parks. This could be public sports Facilities, right? Sometimes there's there's tennis courts or there's soccer fields Right, go and have a look on Google find out what public spaces are in your area that you could use to run sessions Now what I want you to do is be very creative with how you do this and think about How you can adapt your training sessions to those public spaces Right, sometimes if you don't have the luxury of using a full five-a-side Air field to run your run your training sessions How can we adapt it to where we can still run training sessions? But maybe on a different surface or a different way now next one is negotiate with local facilities Now what I want you to do is well going to Google and have a look at local training facilities in your area Okay, so this might be schools local rec centers okay, go and have a look it might be local soccer clubs and Look to try and negotiate a way to be able to use their facility Now I'll give you an example of a coach that we've worked with who Went through this problem and solved it by negotiating So what he did he did research in his local area He found out what local facilities they are and what he did is he got in contact with these facilities or these venues and He asked them right what time of the day or what days during the week Are you guys not busy? So What he found out was right. There were certain days during the week Where nothing was going on? Maybe the maybe the fields were empty or maybe that that place just What they weren't clients being using it? So what that what that coach managed to do is he managed to negotiate a price and Time to be able to use that facility Okay, so negotiating Will be one way that you can solve this problem of saving money on a training space and also getting it at a much cheaper rate, but also Long term you might be able to run sessions out of that Place all year round. Okay, but you need to make you need to be proactive with this and Have a look at local local facilities in your area. So it could be schools It could be church gyms or church halls. It could be YMCA sensors. It could be Sports centers right anywhere in your local area that you know, right? I can run a session out of Right connect with that facility ask them right what what the days and times during the week where you guys are free and They'll be able to tell you and what you can is negotiate a price and Time with them. Okay, so that's another way of saving money with your training business Now our next one is indoor versus outdoor options. So I know for me personally when I run my training business Something I do is during the spring and the summer. I move all my sessions to a public park Right and what we do is we hire out a public park and We run all our group training sessions from there now when it comes to winter we find a venue that has Floodlights and also it has a turf field So this is how will you go through? different times of the year right so if During the year spring and summer. You're able to be outside because where you are permits you to Right, you could go outside use a public park and save money on the costs of Being outdoors right just if you were a little bit of a recommendation is that if you were to use a Public park make sure that you have permission to use that Location right just because it's a public open space Doesn't mean that you don't need a permit right. There's a lot of Parks in and around the United States and across the US that you do need a permit To be able to run training sessions out especially if you're doing group sessions, but that's the way that I Overcome that situation right so it's spring and summer. We go outdoors. We use grassfield and then during the winter We've a fine somewhere that has a light and a turf field Or if not, we'll go and use a local church fall or a school gym Okay, and you know, you'll be saving money because during the winter it may cost you more money But at least you're going to find somewhere to train all year round and then once the winter is done Then you move back outside where you're going to be able to have more room Bring on more clients generate more money ready for them when you when you go into the winter season And maybe your costs go up it shared training sessions so an example of a trainer that we've worked with is He's reached out to local clubs and he's negotiated a price On using some of the area or half of the field that they aren't using Okay, but the best way to do this is go and research and have a look at local clubs in your area and see how much of A specific field they are using if you know that they're only using half a field Then you could reach out to them and say, right I know that your your u10s or your u11s on a thursday evening and are only using half of a field Can I hire the other half out from you guys to run my small group sessions or to run my one-to-one sessions? Okay, so that's another way of negotiating Also Collaborating or partnering up with other trainers So if you know of other trainers in your local area who might be going through that same problem, you guys might decide to partner up and split the costs of Your your training space Okay, now this doesn't have to And affect neither of your business all it is is a partnership That we go half and half on The training space right and that's going to save you money It's going to save them money and in the long term Right, it's going to work out for all but for both of you now that's only going to work if You know, you guys have a contract in place and you do things correctly and properly Okay, the next one is home-based training So running some of your sessions via zoom so if you're in A part of the world or the us where you know that you can be outdoors, but sometimes You know in my storm a lot It might rain a lot and you might not be able to to run your training sessions Having the option of moving clients online during those times of the year Is a good way to continue Continue the training When you can't be outside Right now this is going to work and this has worked with a lot of the trainers that we work with But you've got to have systems in place to where the communication with your clients is is good And they know the terms and conditions. They know that right once it's storming The session is still going ahead But what we're going to do now is we're going to move it to an indoor Sorry, we're going to move it to online. Okay, so it's going to be virtual training And some coaches when they onboard clients That is a requirement that they have to have so they one of the requirements is Do you have some indoor space where you can run some training sessions out of because what we do If we can't be outside, we still run the training, but we we move it virtually so the so your child Still getting training And they're not missing out on that training session The next one online training platforms very similar, but this one is More of creating an online training program for your clients to do When they're not with you So if you know that during the winter you have to go indoors and that's going to be more expensive You might reduce your training session hours to just one day And then create an online training program where your customers go through The rest of the week Okay, so instead of running two sessions per week Right, you might have one session in person and the other session they have to complete One part or one module of the online training program that you have in place That's another way of cutting costs And making sure that your you know, your clients are still training with you During during the entire year DIY training equipment. So this pretty much means buying your own lights Or buying your own equipment to be able to run sessions Okay, some coaches. That's what they do. They go and use a public park But because that public park might not have lights Later in the evening Then what they do is they'll buy a set of four Many many lights that they can continue to run their sessions out of During the winter season or during the season where days get shorter Okay, so investing into into training equipment will help you to cut costs Because instead of going and renting a facility that you have to rent for light. You've got a rent for A turf turf field. You might just use a public park But buy your own set of headlights And sorry set of lights where you can still run your training sessions and next one local partnerships This is also a good one. So when it comes to the winter months, you might partner up with a local business And part of the partnership is that that local business helps you to Helps you with the costs of your indoor Or your training space during the winter months And there might be some some type of agreement where that You know, you're able to promote Their business on your website on your social media If you've got training jerseys that you use you might put their company logo on the front And in exchange all they're doing is they're helping you to fund The the training costs of the facility during the months when you need it the most Okay, so these are a number of ways that you can save money or On training facilities Cut your costs during the months where you most need it Okay, and also just be able to save money and have an all-year-round program and Be able to train clients For the entire year.
