After the recent article about how to recognise fake fitness business coaches who prey on unsuspicious personal trainers, I decided to collate a list of mentors and coaches who have a great track record in helping fitpros with their online business and marketing needs. This is a list of people I think are doing a great job in the industry, however, I always suggest you do your own research in to any coach you want to work with to make sure they align with your ideology and approach.

The list is in no particular order.

Sukh isn't just successful in the personal trainer niche. He has set up a successful shoe business, a successful gym and a successful online training business, he now uses all of that knowledge to provide a no BS online fitness business coaching service that has seen hundreds of trainers achieve great success online.

He's not a fan of the 6-figure fitness mentor trend and is committed to helping aspiring online personal trainers understand what it takes to become successful in the online fitness industry.
