Built my online training business using AI for everything except the actual training

I'm a PT who moved some of my services online during lockdown and never fully moved back. Online training now makes up half my income. The problem with online is the content. You need programs, you need to explain things in writing, you need email sequences, you need social content. I'm good at training people. I'm not a natural writer. AI changed everything. Client programs: I build a template prompt that takes a client's assessment form and generates their 8-week program structure. I then customise it โ€” I know my clients, I know what they respond to. But the framework takes minutes not hours. Explanation content: anything I want to explain to clients in writing โ€” why we're doing this exercise, how to progress, how to eat around training โ€” I draft in point form and ask AI to turn it into clear, readable content. Email sequences: onboarding sequences, check-in templates, motivational content. All AI-assisted. The training itself, the coaching, the relationship โ€” that's 100% me. AI does the admin and communication scaffolding. Revenue has doubled since I went partially online. AI is a big part of why it's sustainable.

โฑ Time saved: 10+ hours per week
โœฆ WORKFLOW STEPS
1Use a standard client assessment form to capture all variables
2Generate 8-week structure from the assessment with AI
3Customise exercises and specific protocols based on what you know about the client
4Use AI to write all client-facing explanations and email content
5Spend your time on coaching and relationship โ€” what only you can do
๐Ÿ“‹ THE PROMPT
Create an 8-week online training program structure for a client with this profile: [age, goal, training history, injuries, equipment available, sessions per week]. For each week, specify the training focus, rep ranges, and progression approach. I'll fill in the specific exercises.
