How do I get my first client as an (in person) personal trainer?

[jacktiner]

My qualifications:
- Wether its back problems, muscle gain for 18 year olds, fat loss for moms or managing groups of kids, I've got experience in all fields
- 4years of experience coaching gymnastics(6-12 year olds)
-1year of working at a gym and coaching there
- Highest Trainer license you can obtain in Germany
- Not impressively massive, but athletic physique and tall
- Willling to work more hours for less pay, since its currently better to work for 40/hour for 2 times than 0 times for 80 and hour(which seems to be the standard around here)
- Can put a good workout together out of anything and with limited equipment
- Got a 3x4 meter garage gym with a power rack, cable machine, weights and all sorts of cable attachments

Things that hinder me:
- Small social circle
- Broke, otherwise I would have opened a ninja warrior/gymnastics themed facility, as I have connections there already(which is planned should I have the funds)
- Abandonment mindset(Want to move to another part of Germany, so playing the long game via slow referalls seems "unattractive" to me)
- Currently only working 10 hours a week in a gym, which feeds into my brokeness, otherwise I would have moved from a 300k area to a 500k city)
- Not allowed to convert people in the gym to personal training clients
- Not an impressive social media physique( kids and moms think Im super muscular though lmao)

Things I have done so far:
- Made a website with some good pictures, added fake weight loss transformations
- Instagram, Tik Tok and facebook accounts
- Ran ads on Instagram/FB, 10 000 reach, 150 clicks on my website, 0 follow ups
- Ran Lead ads for 20 bucks, 0 leads so far
- Ordered 2500 flyers for 60 bucks, going to put them the mail boxes of upper middle class areas
- Going to start a 1x a week free bootcamp workout in the park on Meetup.com and advertise it via facebook ads
- Going to start group classes in the park in general(target: women from 28 - 45)
- Going to redo my ads/site in a week into something more "live laugh love" one instead of "serious" exercising


The goal is to get like 2-3k before I can move and then start it again and adding slow but steady growth methods, aswell as collect valueable information about what works/what doesn't since it doesn't matter if I make a fool out of myself and fail miserable, since I'm going to move away anyway(which is partly not a good business mindset to have, I know)
Also there is not really work available in a 35km/50 minute radius, atleast in the fitness sector in which I have my qualifications
