This is part three of a four-part series, so make sure to read Part One (all about the services you can offer wedding professionals) and Part Two (services you can offer coaches + educators + speakers), and Part Three (services you can offer product-based business)

One of the fastest-growing industries that are outsourcing is fitness and health + wellness coaches. As a small business or gym owner, they are pressed for time! They have to help clients, create new recipes or content, promote products, and try to get more clients. When I first started as a creative virtual assistant in 2018, one of my early clients was a health coach. We were constantly creating new content, and sharing it with her followers. Her biggest platform wasn’t Instagram like you might think – it was Pinterest! We worked to strategically grow her Pinterest to not just advertise her services, but share her recipes, top workout tips, and training videos.

This list of services can also work for spa owners, yoga studio owners, dance studios and performing arts studios, nutritionists and dietitians, martial arts, and anyone in the health and wellness space.

Quick reminder: You do NOT have to do everything on these lists. In fact, it’s better to niche down to what you are an expert in vs. offering ALL the things. This is just a comprehensive list to get you started, and get your wheels turning!

Services To Offer In-Person Studios + Gyms

Many of the services for in-person studios and individual health coaches will be the same – however, there are some differences since an in-person place will have location-specific needs. This can include gyms, yoga studios, spas, and any wellness business with a location that people go to.
