PT
NICOLE HAHN
SELF-EMPLOYED PT
& COACH
NSW
In my different roles of PT, S&C Coach
and Crossfit Coach I actually have three
businesses! These are Coach Nic, Oly
Squad, and We Build Women school events.
How long have you been a PT?
10 years!
Are you full time or part time?
Full time and then some!
What made you decide to become
a trainer?
I knew I wanted to work for myself, and I
knew I didn’t want to be in an office. I had
played state level netball my whole life so
I was quite familiar with the industry and
I loved the thought of being able to help
people.
What’s your signature style of
training?
I’m all about Olympic lifting, CrossFit,
strength and conditioning, rehab and Body
Positivity.
How many hours do you train
clients for each week?
35+
How many hours do you spend
working on your business?
Sometimes a very small amount, but
currently about 5 hours per week (because
I have something new in the works!)
What hours do you work?
It varies day to day, but most weekdays look
like 5:30 until 10:30am, one or two classes or
PT sessions at lunchtime, and then from 3:30
to 7:30 or 8:30pm every night. On Saturdays
I work from 7am-12pm.
What do you do in any downtime
during the day?
Train, nap and admin. Did I say nap?
How much do you charge?
$110 per hour.
What do you do in terms of your
ongoing education?
Attend events, do online education
courses, personal research and personal
development courses.
How many clients do you have?

ARE WORKING, LIVING AND SHAPING THEIR CAREERS

20 very committed PT clients, plus classes
at two different gyms. I used to have a lot
more PT clients (40+) but some were quite
unreliable. I have culled them to a core group
of committed legends.
