Word of mouth mainly. I know a ton of people in the fitness business as well and so I have helped them out from time to time. Mainly though it's been from happy clients telling their friends.
Networking at local gyms is a big no-no here and I'm not one to do it surreptitiously. The idea of being underhanded and suggesting to people that they should work with me is really not a good foundation for me.
Craigslist I haven't tried yet. I don't really trust that site so much as people I know have gotten robbed buying things on that site. I prefer to keep to word of mouth for now, but considering when I come back to full time to put a year or two in at a gym to build up a bigger reputation that I can build from there a nice client base long term.
