How Much Do Personal Trainers Make? The Shocking Truth About Personal Training Income …

Posted on 04. Oct, 2009 by Kaiser.

When I first got started as a Personal Trainer, I was excited as hell.  I heard the stories of trainers earning high incomes, charging $100 an hour, looking in shape, and doing what came easy and was fun to them. Could you imagine something more appealing than that? And call me naive, but through [...]

Personal Training: When Is It The Right Time To DUMP THE GYM For Good?

Posted on 18. Sep, 2009 by Kaiser.

What’s always surprised me most about the success stories I hear coming in on the blog is how quickly and abruptly everyone takes action.  These guys and gals all pick and burn the bridges once they find out about the world of Personal Training out there that doesn’t involve training in a big-box health-club.  [...]

Personal Training Clients – The Definitive Article (Talking All Things Clients: Pricing, Picking, Selling, and Service).

Posted on 10. Sep, 2009 by Kaiser.

As trainers we’re all fitness consultants, and in consulting, there’s something known as the consultant’s paradox … It’s how clients are often your biggest problem, but you need them for your survival. But it doesn’t have to be that way … because Personal Training is different … Unlike any other health service, you only need a handful [...]

Posted on 17. Jul, 2009 by Kaiser.

It’s been a busy couple of days, putting the finishing touches on the BIG-MONEY ONLINE FITNESS program and dealing with a few last minute mishaps with the product videos and checkout.  I hear Microsoft always has major issues every time they roll out a new product, so that makes me feel a little better. I was [...]

Posted on 13. Jul, 2009 by Kaiser.

Just like your favorite muscle magazine, I can’t help but have a gratuitous post about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Check that – mine isn’t gratuitous at all – Arnold fits perfectly into the series we’re running here, TOP FIVE TRAINERS TURNED ENTREPRENEURS OF ALL TIME. Didn’t know Arnold was a trainer? Well, he most certainly was, and it’s a [...]

The Art of Being a Hack! How To Get Ahead at Warp Speed in Fitness Marketing (Plus, an update on the new Super-Trainer site, coming soon..)

Posted on 04. Jun, 2009 by Kaiser.

From the hints I've been dropping, you know that I've been working on the new site for Super-Trainer ...

It's coming along great and is going to set the industry on fire, just like the original Super-Trainer did almost two years ago -

Instead of being so shady, let me tell you a little bit about what to expect so you know what you're looking at once it arrives ....

Til now, S-T has been a fun project for me ...

It's allowed me to stay in touch with everyone at every level of the fitness industry -

But the new site is going to be brand new, hi-tech, and have a new mission -

It will based on all of the feedback I've been getting from you about what your real needs and interests are.

It's going to have some great services you're going to love that will help you get to your goals more quickly and affordably - they won't make me much money, but they will help you make serious progress in your fitness career.

In terms of an expected date of launch, I haven't really set one yet - I've been doing a little bit every day with my designers and programmers and it should be ready soon.

One thing that's been really speeding up the process is that I've been modeling the success of others - that's what I wanted to talk about now -

Whenever we want results at something, we all tend to try to reinvent the wheel, but that's a mistake ..

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!?!?

Posted on 28. May, 2009 by Doug Groce, CSCS.

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.

Thanks to BiasTraining from the Super-Trainer personal training forum for this picture - and here are some of the responses:
