Tax Basics for Trainers

Join us for a fast, practical 45-minute seminar designed specifically for fitness professionals, personal trainers, and gym staff who want to stop guessing about taxes and start keeping more of what they earn.

What we’ll cover:
• Business setup basics – LLC, sole prop, side hustle…what’s best for trainers?
• What you can actually expense and write off – equipment, mileage, continuing ed, travel, gym fees, online coaching tools, home office, and more
• How to get ready for tax season – simple systems to track income/expenses and avoid last-minute chaos
• Common trainer mistakes – and how to avoid IRS red flags

This session will be led by Curtis, a certified tax accountant who works with small businesses and independent contractors. He’ll break it down in plain English, give real fitness-industry examples, and take a few questions at the end.

Who it’s for:
• Personal trainers
• CrossFit/functional fitness coaches
• Online/remote coaches
• Gym owners and managers
• Anyone getting 1099 income in fitness

Goal: Walk out knowing how to structure your business, what you can write off, and how to set yourself up so tax season doesn’t suck.

If you’re coaching, training, or side-hustling in fitness—this one’s for you.
