Hola

I'm moving to Marbella in 3 months time. I plan to continue with my personal training and also to offer Aqua classes quite possibly in people's pools.

I'm going to offer shoulder massage and possibly Indian Head massage.

Do any of you think there will be a demand for these treatments or is it flooded with others offering the same?

Sorry to say the market is flooded. Every third person I meet seems to be offering some sort of treatment.

That leaves the other two looking for it.

Guess I will have to be more creative. Shame I have a following in Bristol.

thanks though

Rosie? iIwas just wondering...why have you chosen Marbella? Just curious, no agenda.

[katy]

Probably for the reason that it suits her, why did you choose Salinas? please do enlighten us

[annie_d]

I didn't, my husband did. He chose it because it was one of the properties his sister was selling and the one that seemed "most suited" to us. Small-ish house with no stairs, small village, etc. etc. You know when some things just feel right?

Obvious innit?

There is a partly refurbished shop there left by that loony Marbella Belle with the wild eyes.

The wild eyes are because they are totting up how much money they can "earn" from you. It starts with a phone call, having a small get-together, getting someone to do aqua exercise in the pool (drinks and tapas too). On arriving you will be told it costs around 20 euros to do the pool thing, probably someone selling necklaces at about 200 euros that look as if you had given a child some bits to thread! oh and what about a collar for your dogs hip complaint plus someones partner can do a nice line in hair restorer...it goes on, that's why they come to marbella

Silly me hairy flea

I have been using PM and have only just spotted the 'post a reply' button.

Anyway thanks for your advice re@ teaching fitness. I'm certainly not going to rip any one off. I do this as a living here in the UK and I have helped a lot of people who have been seriously ill.

As for offering massage, personal training and head massage - it may be that I need to think wider.

Rosie, there must be hundreds of untrained "therapists" out there, if you are good at your job and can get a good customer base it may well work out for you, just keep an open mind and be willing try different things and you will be ok, at least you have a skill, so many who don't try and fail, good luck

in fact (and i would have to persuade Mrs A) but you can come and rub both of us in my pool.....

Actually, this bears a resemblence to a recurring dream I have

You don't have a brother called Dealer do you?

[Rosie01]

thanks for your comments it's nice to have friendly people around when you need them.
