Writing tips
A profile that sounds like you
The best profiles are specific, honest and easy to read. A few pointers:
- Write in the first person and avoid jargon
- Say who you help, such as beginners, people returning to exercise or experienced lifters
- Explain what a first session looks like
- Choose the specialisms that genuinely reflect your work, rather than selecting everything
- Only make claims you can support, and never share client details or testimonials without permission
