I am a qualified personal trainer and also have a couple of other sites, I was thinking of setting up a personal trainer/fitness membership site,

I was thinking of posting workouts
Nutrition information
Answering questions on the site

What else do you think is needed for this type of site? Plus anybody got any lists to swap?

    In theory, that's a great idea. But aren't there already alot of websites that contain the same information for free? Perhaps you should write an eBook instead of setting up a whole website dedicated to this.

    Also, i haven't built my list yet.

        Ryan,

        Whatever you decide to offer, make it unique, high quality and addicting so that your members have good reason to keep coming back to your site.

        The personal fitness niche is extremely competitive with many, many continuity sites offering basically the same advice, diets, work-out routines and general exercise and eating tips. Not to mention the fact that most of this same information is easily secured online at no cost.

        You must find an "angle", an idea for your site that is worth paying for on a continuing basis.

        The best to you in this new project.

      Good that means there's a need. I'd be concerned about doing something if absolutely no one was doing it. Now he just needs a spin to make it unique.

    Agreed - there is certainly a need and there is demand. Challenge is to differentiate in line with what tends to be a pretty trend-driven marketplace.

    I had a site that did extremely well when low-carb craze was at its peak - but that hype curve has run its course.

    The link between wheat, gluten and weight is a big one right now...so if there is a diet or angle you can use around this trend - it would do well.

    Trick (as with most highly competitive markets) is to find the high desire ways in.
