About Vanessa Hampton
Vanessa Hampton is a fitness trainer & Yoga instructor, offering personal training for all levels of fitness and abilities. She runs a popular fitness brand – Body Balance with V in Mount Juliet, Tennessee.
Training with pen-and-paper
Before using TrainerFu, Vanessa was logging all in-person client workouts using pen-and-paper. While that wasn’t much of a problem when she was training just a few clients, managing operations became a big challenge, when her business started picking up.
“For me, as a trainer, I was doing personal one-on-one training using pen-and-paper, and it was really messy to track all the workouts for my clients. I had notebooks upon notebooks, when I did it, but I knew it wasn’t the most efficient way.”
Vanessa stumbled upon TrainerFu, when she was searching for an online training software that could help her scale the fitness business.
“I know a lot of trainers, who use emails and spreadsheets for sending workouts to their clients, but, frankly, that solution didn’t make sense to me. I knew there had to a better way to train clients remotely, and that’s how I ended up trying TrainerFu.”
The TrainerFu Experience
Vanessa realised pretty soon that if she had to scale her fitness business, she had to put systems in place that would allowed her to acquire more clients, without piling up trivial operational and communication overheads.
She needed a scalable, well-articulated platform that could help her deliver workout plans, provide visual training, streamline day-to-day communication and also track client progress on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.
TrainerFu turned out to be exactly the solution she needed (and maybe, more than that!). In just a short span of three months, it slowly became the backbone of her fitness business, and gave her the confidence to take her business to the next level.
“Originally, I decided to try TrainerFu, just to organize my workout plans for online clients. But, slowly, it became my complete back-office kind of thing. Now, I use it even with my in-person daily clients, weekly clients, and even once-a-month clients.”
While the complete transition to TrainerFu required a bit of restructuring, the return on time-investment has been phenomenal for Vanessa and her team.
“On an average day, it took me 45 - 60 minutes, just to consolidate the workout plans for my clients, but now I’m done in just 15 minutes. That’s a 300% boost in time-efficiency.”
The solution also broke the chain of cumbersome emails, and infused accountability, trackability and credibility into the system.
For example, previously, there was no simple way to track what the clients did, or tweak their workout plans based on their progress. But using TrainerFu, Vanessa can go back and see what a client has done in the past, and accordingly tweak their current/future workout plans.
Vanessa also loves the fact that TrainerFu supports popular services like MyFitnessPal and Fitbit, out-of-the-box, because it allows her to offer nutrition services to her clients.
“Being able to track client’s food and diet plans is a really good service that I can offer them. And it really helps to have MyFitnessPal and Fitbit integration built into the app, because a lot of people use two different ones, and some people are just set in their ways with it.”
Now that Vanessa no longer has to spend time creating workout programs or drafting emails, she could spend more time training clients, and motivating them to push harder.
“The scalability that TrainerFu offered me has been phenomenal. Ever since we started using the app, the business has been growing at a rapid pace. In fact, I just hired a few trainers to work with me, and TrainerFu helps me manage communication even with my team. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Growing with TrainerFu
TrainerFu allowed Vanessa to add more revenue streams and expand her existing business with additional services like nutritional coaching, online training, etc. When Vanessa started using TrainerFu, she had zero online clients and around 15 one-on-one clients, but now she manages 18+ online clients, and around 50+ personal training clients.
For Vanessa, the best part growing with TrainerFu is that she can keep scaling her business, without worrying about the operational side of it.
“Quite simply, TrainerFu gave me the platform to scale my business. Without TrainerFu, there’s no way I’d be able to handle so many clients, and run things so smoothly. TrainerFu is the single best decision I’ve made for my business, and I couldn’t have been happier.”
TrainerFu helped Jamie save tens of hours in workout programming every week, while also improving the overall profitability of her fitness business. Her clients are now receiving better workout programs and more personalized content through the platform. She’s now using the platform to reach more clients, without losing countless hours in planning & onboarding.
