Update from Jersey at the Fast Track To Fitness Millions Marketing Event For Personal Trainers!

Posted on 30. May, 2009 by Kaiser.

Just got done with the second action-filled day at the FAST TRACK TO FITNESS MILLIONS event. Man, today was crazy but I’ll get to that later …

The first thing I’ve got say is how well run and polished this thing was – you’d hardly believe it was the first big event to be put on by fitness business experts Pat Rigsby, Nick Berry, and Jim Labadie.

And secondly, they attracted a tremendous crowd of nearly 300 personal trainers, bootcamp instructors, and fitness marketing entrepreneurs. It was a sharp bunch of heavy hitters looking to do serious damage in this industry.

Lastly, what stands out is the incredible line-up of speakers. The full gamut of topics on how exactly to succeed in fitness today (not 20 years ago) was covered from top to bottom.

The best part, for me was getting to meet up with all of the other industry people. We’re spread out all over the country, so these events are really the only time for all of us to meet face-to-face – that’s what makes them so fantastic.

Here are some pics of a few of the people I hung out with over the weekend:

3,000,000 Exercise Balls Recalled: Where’s a Top-Level Trainer When You Need One!?!?

It’s about time someone put a stop to the madness. I’m talking about recall of 3,000,000 fitness balls.

The truth is, this piece of “equipment” can be extremely dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. It doesn’t take a CSCS to tell you that anything involving a barbell, one or more 45 plates, and a stability ball is probably not a good idea.

Design Service Is a Hit!

Posted on 26. May, 2009 by Kaiser.

Well it’s official – the Super-Trainer Design Service is a huge hit!

products1So far, every trainer that’s purchased one or more designs has been amazed at how professional and attractive their logos and website headers look. A lot of trainers are even coming back with more orders for Ebook covers and custom labels, which have turned out great as well.

I’m starting to get a flood of orders coming in, and I’m not sure how long I’ll be offering this service at such a cheap price, so if you’re looking to get this part of your business handled right away, then head over to fitness design services page and get your order in.

HOW DO I SIGN-UP MORE PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENTS?!?! Here’s The Answer (plus an offer you won’t want to miss) …

“People get caught up in wonderful, eye-catching pitches, but they don’t do enough to close the deal. It’s no good if you don’t make the sale. Even if your foot is in the door or you bring someone into a conference room, you don’t win the deal unless you actually get them to sign on the dotted line.”

Donald Trump

Say what you want about the Donald, but in business, it all comes down to one thing: closing the deal.

And if you view your Personal Training as your business, then it comes down to the same thing for you too.

Whether you know it or not, there are actually proven systems you can use to close nearly every singl client that crosses your path, and do it for the biggest money training packages possible.

PERSONAL FITNESS PROFESSIONAL (fit-pro) MAGAZINE GETS TAKEN OVER BY SUPER-TRAINER!!!

I just visited the Fit-Pro Magazine site and was shocked by what I saw - they have my picture plastered all over the place!

Haha! I’m not complaining – I love those guys and gals over there, including managing editor John Thompson, Josh Vogt in the ad department, and the lady running it all, Shelby Murphy …

Besides my picture being all over the place, they also have a new, highly motivational video by Shelby. Shelby really gets what we’ve been talking about from the beginning on this blog – about how a fitness career is a vehicle for our own personal growth and fulfillment. Here’s the video (notice the broad, important issues she touches on):
