Personal trainer profile on Websta: what to include in Slovenia

What your profile page should contain

Your Websta profile should include a clear description of who you are and what you offer. Start with a short summary: your name, location in Slovenia, and the types of training you provide - whether that is strength training, functional fitness, weight loss coaching, sports-specific preparation, or rehabilitation work. Add a photo of yourself; clients want to see who they are working with.

List the services you offer as separate entries. For each service, write what it includes - for example, individual sessions, group classes, nutrition guidance, or online coaching. Specify the duration of sessions (typically 30, 45 or 60 minutes) and mention any specialisations like training for older adults, pregnant women, injury recovery, or athletes. Keep descriptions factual: what the client will do and what they can expect to work on.

Add photos of yourself training clients or demonstrating exercises. Include at least one photo of your workspace if you train in a gym, studio or outdoors. Photos help people decide whether your approach and setting suit them.

Include your town or region in Slovenia so people nearby can find you. Websta organises searches by place, so being clear about where you work - whether Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, coastal areas, or a region - matters for local searches.

Booking and quote requests on your profile

Your profile can accept online bookings for sessions if you use Websta's booking system, or you can ask clients to request a quote instead. Choose what works for your business. If you offer standard session lengths and times, online booking lets clients book directly. If you need to discuss goals, availability or package options first, a quote request form works better.

Websta's contact form lets people send you a message. You can add a phone number and email address for direct contact as well. Clients in Slovenia often prefer to message or call before committing, so make sure you respond to inquiries within a day.

Which languages to publish in

Write your profile in Slovenian - that is what most people searching in Slovenia will use. If you train international clients or work in a location with expat communities, you can add an English version too. Keep both versions accurate and up to date. Many personal trainers in Slovenia use only Slovenian on their professional profiles.

How people in Slovenia search for personal trainers

On Websta's marketplace, people search by service type and location. They look for personal trainers by town or region - Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje and smaller towns all have their own searches. Some people search for specific types of training, such as strength training, weight loss support or rehabilitation. Your profile appears in these results if your services match and you work in their area.

Websta also has a fitness category page that links to trainers across the country. When someone browses personal trainers in Slovenia without specifying a town, they see providers from various locations. Having a complete profile with clear information and photos makes your listing more useful to people browsing this way.

What you need to sort out as an independent trainer

In Slovenia, personal trainers typically work as self-employed sole traders (s.p.). Check with the relevant local authority or a business advisor in your region about registration requirements. You will likely need to register with FURS (Finančna uprava Republike Slovenije, the tax authority) and obtain a tax number. The rules can vary depending on your town and exact business structure, so confirm what applies to your situation.

If you train clients in a gym, check whether the gym owner requires insurance or has specific policies about independent trainers. If you train clients in a studio or outdoors, ensure you have liability insurance that covers personal training. This protects you if a client gets injured.

Websta processes client payments through Stripe, and money is paid out to your own bank account. You set your own prices for services. You are responsible for invoicing clients and handling tax obligations according to Slovenian law.

Some trainers need additional certifications or qualifications depending on the type of training they offer - particularly for rehabilitation or work with medical conditions. Check what qualifications you need for the services you plan to offer.

What to write in your first hour

Start with the essentials. Write your name, location (town or region) and a short paragraph about who you are as a trainer - your background, what types of clients you work with, and what results they can expect to work toward. This takes 10-15 minutes.

Add three to five services you offer. For each one, write a sentence describing what it covers and how long it takes. For example: 'One-to-one strength training session, 60 minutes, focused on building muscle and improving form.' Keep it straightforward.

Upload at least one clear photo of yourself. If you have photos of your training space or working with clients, add those too. Photos do not need to be professional studio shots - they need to be clear and relevant.

Fill in your contact details and decide whether to use online booking or quote requests. Add a brief note about how far you are willing to travel or whether you work from a fixed location. This helps people understand how to work with you.

That is the foundation. Websta lets you add more details later - client testimonials, video content, or a longer description of your approach - but starting with the core information gets your profile live and searchable in your area.

Getting found in the marketplace

Once your profile is complete, you appear in Websta's marketplace when people search for personal trainers in your town or region. The marketplace lets people browse providers and post tasks that multiple trainers can see and make offers on. Some people use this to get quotes from several trainers before deciding.

Keep your profile updated. If your availability changes, you are taking on new clients, or you have added a new service, update your profile. A current profile gets better visibility and helps people trust that you are actively working.
