In terms of traditional advertising, what you can do is to distribute flyers in areas and business related physical activity, as well as to persons who are active in this field.
Possible obstacles: Although even though there are many people who everyday are interested in improving fitness and stay healthy, are many that give up it quickly by different factors.

You will find many people who maybe have low self-esteem or that did not see results as quickly as they had hoped, they give up. This is why it is essential to try to be more than a coach, a friend, so people can trust you and feel better every time you think about leaving.
