Become a fully-booked
mobile PT.
With Zero Rent. No cold calls & Guaranteed clients
We bring the clients. You train them. Across Melbourne, in homes, parks, and apartment gyms, backed by a 34+ trainer network.
You didn't become a PT for this.
You got into this to coach. To change lives. To get paid for what you're good at.
Somewhere along the way the job became something else. You're paying $250+ a week in floor fees just to access "free trials". You're competing with five other trainers in the same gym for the same handful of leads. You're burning $400 a month on Facebook ads that convert at 1 in 30 - and the leads that do convert, you close yourself, chase the payments yourself, deal with the cancellations yourself.
Your week looks like this:
- Train clients (the part you actually love)25 hrs
- Marketing, admin, sales calls, debt collection, GST, social media15 hrs
- Floor politics, gym drama, dealing with management5 hrs
- Empty-diary stress and chasing the next client5 hrs
50% of your work week is the part you didn't sign up for. The part nobody trained you for. The part nobody pays you for properly.
Train 25 hours a week. Bill $60 a session. After the gym's 30% cut, after ads, after insurance, after software, after the accountant - you take home $41,000. For 50 hours a week of your life. That's $16 an hour.
You're not bad at your job. The job you were sold doesn't exist.
It doesn't have to work like that.
The first $42,600 nobody talks about.
Before a solo PT earns a single dollar, here's what they spend in their first year.
We did the maths. Most trainers don't, until they're three years in and burnt out wondering where the money went.
| Solo PT | Get Going Trainer | |
|---|---|---|
| Floor fees / gym rent | $13,000 | $0 |
| Marketing (ads, content, agencies) | $6,000 | $0 |
| Failed marketing experiments | $3,000 | $0 |
| Content production for socials | $1,500 | Included |
| Software stack | $3,600 | ~$44/week (MindBody only) |
| Programming software (TrueCoach, etc.) | $900 | Included (Trainerize) |
| Insurance | $1,200 | $1,200 |
| Branding, website, decals | $2,500 | Included |
| Accountant + BAS lodgement | $2,000 | Minimal (assisted) |
| Bad debt + chasing unpaid clients | $2,400 | $0 |
| Equipment (year-1 setup) | $5,000 | Included (Pro/Founders) |
| Continuing education / CPD | $1,500 | Included |
That's a house deposit. A new car. A year's rent. The first 12 months of going solo costs you all of that - before you've earned a dollar.
That gap - about $39,400 in your first year - isn't theoretical. It's the difference between burning a year of savings figuring it out alone, or starting Monday with a system that's already proven.

Self-employment is freedom. It's also lonely.
You've nailed a session. The client just hit a deadlift PB they didn't think they could. You're driving home - who do you tell?
You've had a client cancel for the third time. You're not sure if you're allowed to be annoyed. You don't have a colleague to debrief with.
You're three months in. You don't know if your prices are right. Your programming. Your retention. You don't have anyone to compare yourself to. You're guessing alone.
Working solo, you celebrate alone, you doubt alone, you burn out alone.
It doesn't have to be like this.
We're a network. 34+ trainers. Real team meetings. Real events. A permanent mentor who's already done what you're trying to do. A group full of people who get it. A leadership team who've been training PTs for years.
You'll still be running your own client base. But you won't be running it on your own.
Get Going trainers at our 2021 team day. 34+ trainers across Melbourne. One team.
The work, redistributed.
You wanted to coach. Somewhere along the way, the job became 10 jobs. Here's how the work gets redistributed when you join Get Going.
- Setting up softwareLogging in
- Programming on the flyPulling from the shelf
- Chasing invoicesWatching payments land
- Marketing yourselfJust coaching
- Closing salesShowing up to paying clients
- Generating leadsReceiving them, pre-qualified
- Handling client disputes aloneHaving backup
- Trying to scale solo34+ trainers in your corner
You don't get less work - you get the right work. The work you actually trained for.
We don't sell features. We take problems off your plate.
Most PT companies pitch you a list of inclusions. We'll do that too - further down the page. But the real value is what stops being your problem the moment you join.
No more chasing leads
We spend the marketing budget. You just train.
No more pricing anxiety
We set the rates. You don't haggle, you don't undercharge, you don't apologise for what you're worth.
No more chasing invoices
Done. Quietly. Daily. You don't see it.
No more cancellation revenue loss
Our policies are enforced automatically. Late cancellations charged. No-shows recovered. You don't have the awkward conversation.
No more dispute calls
We handle the awkward stuff. You never know it happened.
No more software setup
It's set up, configured, and ready. You log in.
No more spreadsheet nightmares
Bookings, payments, retention - all on one dashboard.
No more 60-hour weeks
25-40, mostly training. The rest is yours.
No more tax-time anxiety
We teach you exactly what % to set aside per session, when to lodge, and what to do with the surplus once your business is profitable. Not just compliance - actual money mentorship.
No more loneliness
You're in a network of 34+ trainers across Melbourne. Real team, real community.
One revenue stream. That's the trap.
Solo PTs get paid one way. Per session, per hour they show up. We restructured the whole thing.
Solo PT income is simple: you train, you earn. That's it.
Your client upgrades to more sessions a week? You just work more hours.
Your client refers a friend? Now you have another client to train yourself.
Your client buys supplements? That's someone else's commission.
Your client leaves you a glowing Google review? Nice. No income.
Every dollar tied to an hour you physically deliver. One revenue stream. That's the trap.
Get Going trainers earn seven ways from every client they sign.
- Membership revenue share - you earn every week they stay subscribed, not just per session.
- Frequency upgrade bonus - when they upgrade to more sessions, you earn more and the upgrade pays a bonus on top.
- Referral bonus - when they refer a friend, you earn a referral fee plus revenue share on the new client.
- Supplement commission - when they buy through our partner, you earn ongoing commission.
- Review bonus - when they leave a Google review, you earn for that too.
- Trainer referral bonus - when you refer us a trainer who joins the network, you earn a bonus the moment they get started.
- Win-back bonus - when you bring back an ex-member, you earn a bonus plus the ongoing weekly revenue share.
One client. Seven income streams. All compounding while you're training the next person.
We'll walk through how the income model actually works on the discovery call.
Mobile PT is never boring.
Your week is a mum in Hawthorn, a CEO in Kew, a teen athlete in Camberwell, an NDIS client in Box Hill. Different lives. Different settings. Real coaching that actually lands.
You're not stuck in one gym all day with one type of client. You're in their world. Their backyard. Their living room. The park where they walk the dog. The beach where they want to feel confident again.
That's the difference between training people and coaching them. When you're in their environment, you see what's actually going on. The kids interrupting the session. The dog who's part of the family. The kitchen that needs a cleanout. The unspoken stuff a gym session can't surface.
You become a real fixture in their life.
And the change actually sticks.
Where your office is this week
Who you're coaching this week
- Mums getting back into shape after kids
- Executives post-injury or post-surgery
- Teen athletes prepping for state-level competition
- NDIS clients with mobility goals
- Couples training together
- Retirees rebuilding strength to play with grandkids
Same job. Never the same day.
Built by Melbourne's mobile PT veterans
Before Get Going existed, Ethan spent years as a solo mobile PT in Melbourne - chasing leads on Instagram, closing his own sales, eating cancellations. He hit the same wall everyone hits.
So in 2016, he built the system to fix it. First for himself. Then for two trainers who came on. Then for ten. Today Get Going runs that system for 34+ trainers across Melbourne - with thousands of clients trained.
The system works because it had to. We built it for ourselves first.
What's it like at Get Going?
A few minutes inside the Get Going trainer team. Press play.
34+ trainers. Across Melbourne. Already doing this.
This isn't a pitch deck idea. It's a working network with active trainers in your area, training clients today.
We're not a gym. We don't make money when you fail.
Most gyms charge you to be there. We only get paid when you do.
The gym model: You pay floor fees. The gym collects rent. Whether you have ten clients or zero, they get paid the same. Filling the gym with trainers is the goal. Whether any of you succeed is irrelevant to their bottom line.
Our model: We don't charge you rent. We share your client revenue. When you sign a client, we earn. When that client renews, we earn. When your business grows, ours grows. When you stop earning, so do we.
That's not philosophy. That's the math. Every dollar we put into your marketing, your training, your mentorship - comes back to us only if you succeed.
Which leaves us one job: making sure you do.
| The Gym Model | The Get Going Model |
|---|---|
| You pay them rent (floor fees) | We share your client revenue |
| They earn whether you succeed or not | We only earn when you earn |
| More trainers = more rent | More trainer success = more revenue |
| Your failure = no impact on them | Your failure = our failure |
That's the structure. Here's how we back it.
Why we can't take everyone.
We only bring on trainers in areas where we can fill their diary. Some areas are open. Others have a waitlist.
We make money when our trainers make money. So we only bring on trainers in areas where we're confident we can fill them with leads.
Some areas have capacity. Others are full. When you apply, we check your postcode against current lead supply.
If your area is open, you'll move forward. If your area is full, you'll go on a waitlist for when capacity opens - typically three to six months later.
No one joins a system we can't deliver on. That's how this works.
Let's be straight about what we DON'T do.
Every business pitches you a list of solved problems. Here's what's still on you.
You buy your own vehicle
And fuel it. And maintain it. Mobile training means you're driving.
You arrange your own Professional Standards
Insurance (public liability + indemnity), current First Aid + CPR, Working with Children Check, and police check. We tell you exactly what to get and where - you arrange and pay for them yourself.
You handle the weather
Outdoor sessions mean weather. Rain. Heat. Last-minute cancellations because of either.
You take the holidays you take
We don't pay you when you're not training. Self-employment doesn't come with annual leave.
You build the relationship with each client
We can't coach for you. The session, the rapport, the result - that's all yours.
You're still self-employed
No super. No paid leave. No employer safety net. We're a system, not a salary.
Right-fit trainers love this honesty. If any of these are deal-breakers - Get Going isn't your move. Better to know now.
Is Get Going right for you?
We're not for everyone. Here's how to know.
This is for you if...
- You're a qualified personal trainer (or working towards it)
- You want to coach more, not chase leads on Instagram
- You're committed to growing into 20+ hours a week - even if you start part-time alongside study or another job
- You're studying or working another job - and you're ready to scale into this as it grows
- You'd rather train clients in their environment than be stuck inside a gym all day
- You want a real business, not just a job, but you don't want to figure it out alone
- You're coachable - willing to follow a proven system instead of reinventing it
This isn't for you if...
- You want to do everything your own way and don't take direction
- You'd rather train in a gym you don't own, on someone else's terms, for the rest of your career
- You want guaranteed weekly income before you've put the work in
- You're not comfortable with mobile training
- You want full brand independence - no Get Going system, no network, all on your own
- You expect a salary, not a business
If you're more right-column than left, Get Going isn't your move - and that's okay. If you want to build a mobile PT business on your own terms, Get Going Academy might be the move. Same system, no franchise.
If you're successful, here are your three options.
Applying doesn't guarantee a spot. We're selective about who we bring in - the system only works when the trainer is the right fit. If we move forward together, you'll choose from one of these three tiers.
