FAQs

Do I have to give up my current job to be a part of inerTRAIN?

No! Because inerTRAIN is set up completely through the internet, you can supplement any personal training jobs you currently have with inerTRAIN clients or even supplement current face-to-face clients’ workouts with an online program.

What fees do I have to pay to be a part of inerTRAIN?

Apart from the one-time certification fee, there are currently no additional fees to be a part of the inerTRAIN team.

What does the $295 certification fee cover?

The certification fee gives access to inerTRAIN’s comprehensive trainer manual, the in-person certification seminar, and, most importantly, access to the inerTRAIN system upon successful completion of the certification requirements.

I am already a certified trainer, so why do I have to be recertified with inerTRAIN?

Working with a client solely through the internet requires a slightly different mindset and set of skills compared with face-to-face training. inerTRAIN’s certification program will teach you how to take the skills and knowledge that you already possess and apply them in an online environment so you can provide the best possible service to your clients.

What are the requirements to be certified with inerTRAIN?

In order to be a part of the inerTRAIN team and be successful with us, there are a few basic requirements we look for:

1. You must have at least one year of fitness training experience.
2. You must have a recognized national certification and/or degree in exercise, physiology, or a similar field.
3. Strong communication skills with an emphasis on written communication are essential.
4. You should have working knowledge of internet systems and applications.
5. You must be capable of working with a diverse array of people.

If you believe you possess all these qualifications, then you might be a great candidate for the inerTRAIN team!

Does inerTRAIN provide me with any liability coverage?

When a client signs up with inerTRAIN, they must sign a liability waiver which will protect you from legal ramifications should a client become injured during one of your workouts.

How many clients will I take on?

This is completely up to you. There is no limit on client capacity for an inerTRAIN trainer as long as all of our customer satisfaction standards are met. You can increase or decrease your capacity at any time by contacting the inerTRAIN team.

How do I acquire clients with inerTRAIN?

Based on their profile, new clients who sign up with inerTRAIN will be directed to trainers based on our trainerMATCH™ algorithm. In the end, however, it is up to the clients to decide who they want their trainer to be. As a trainer, you can take charge of the number of inerTRAIN clients you have by referring friends, family, and anyone who might be interested in being trained by you to increase your client base.

How do I get paid through inerTRAIN?

You will receive a commission for every workout completed by one of your clients, as well as additional incentives for acquiring new clients and renewing current clients. inerTRAIN keeps track of these numbers and will send you a monthly check for your hard work.

Does inerTRAIN have any other incentive programs for trainers?

Yes. inerTRAIN utilizes our Trainer Incentive Program to motivate our team members to go above and beyond the call of duty. If a trainer refers new clients, new trainers, contributes to our inerTRAIN blog or fitVAULT™ resource library, or do anything to broaden the scope of inerTRAIN, we reward him or her with points in our incentive program. These points can then be redeemed for a cash bonus or other inerTRAIN packages and products.

How do I create and send workouts to my clients?

The inerTRAIN system utilizes its proprietary Workout Architect™ to assist our trainers in providing clients with quality, easy-to-understand workouts. With this easy-to-use system, you will be able to assemble various exercises with their associated media files to better explain the proper form and technique to your clients. Once you finish constructing the workout, it will be sent to your client through the inerTRAIN system.

Where can I access the inerTRAIN system to work with my clients?

Whenever and wherever! The inerTRAIN philosophy applies to both trainers as well as clients. Wherever you have access to the internet through an internet-capable device, you can access our systems and work with your clients.

How long will it take me to write a workout for my clients?

Our trainers have reported that it usually takes them on average between 5 and 10 minutes to create a workout for their clients. Some of them report being able to do it in less time once they have greater proficiency working with the system! The goal of inerTRAIN is to allow you to reach more clients than would be possible with the time constraints of traditional face-to-face training.

Can I do group training with inerTRAIN’s system?

inerTRAIN caters to the unique health and life situations of every client, so you will have to create unique workouts for each individual client. However, you can train several individuals within a group of people through inerTRAIN’s Fitness Challenges as they compete to better each other’s fitness levels.
