PT Business Kickstarter
Real business clarity before you step into a gym
and make smart decisions about how they start their career.
Why Kickstarter Exists?
Most new trainers don’t fail because they lack coaching skill.
They fail because they make poor business decisions early and don’t understand the rental model until it’s too late.
Kickstarter exists to bridge that gap.
This program is built and delivered by coaches actively operating in the rental model, not theory-based educators.
What's Included?
1:1 Onboarding Call
Personalised orientation into the business of personal training.
4 Live Group Sessions
Clear, practical education delivered fortnightly.
Real World Business Frameworks
Pricing, systems, sales behaviour, and club readiness.
Pathway Opportunities
Internship, mentorship, business coaching, or independent support.
Pathway discussions are invite-only and based on suitability.
Who This Is For?
- Cert III or IV students preparing to enter the industry.
- New trainers who want clarity before signing with a gym.
- Trainers who want structure, not hype.
- People who want to build a real business, not wing it.

About Chris Duncan
Starting in Adelaide in the late ’90s, Chris embarked on a journey that took him from working with gym members and celebrity guests at a 5-star resort to teaching internationally in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Alaska.
Returning to Australia, Chris successfully launched a Corporate Wellness Centre, earning an Innovation in Business Award which is thriving to this day.
With a passionate desire to share his knowledge, Chris divided his time between managing his first company, a holistic wellness company incorporating massage, nutritional therapy and movement and teaching Certificate IV in Fitness, a passion he continues today.
His journey saw him bring a franchise brand to WA, fulfilling his dream of owning a gym.
Today, Chris operates a lucrative training business in a rental model gym, while dedicating most of his time to nurturing trainers through the Rental Gym Mentors helping trainers excel to $100K revenue and beyond.
Chris’s drive to uplift new trainers stems from both a desire to offer the support he lacked early in his career and a commitment to give back to an industry that has enriched his life immensely.
