Just like your favorite muscle magazine, I can’t help but have a gratuitous post about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

BIG-TIME “DREAM-SETTING” FOR PERSONAL TRAINERS WITH SHELBY MURPHY (taking a look at PFP Magazine)!!!

Posted on 20. Mar, 2009 by Kaiser.

If you follow the blog, you know I’m against most industry stuff – most of it is rhetoric to hold up the status quo … and that status quo is trainers getting jerked around in the big gyms, making less than 30 grand a year, and forced to abandon PT and go into other boring [...]

Posted on 10. Dec, 2008 by Kaiser.

I know it’s been over a week and I’m a little late with this post – to make up for it this one’s VERY LONG and SUPER-GOOD …
FITNESS ENTREPRENEUR – that’s a term that gets thrown around A LOT, and is used to describe every Personal Trainer, anyone that’s ever written an e-book, or tried [...]

IS PERSONAL TRAINING A BUSINESS OR A PASSION? Walking the line between LOVE and MONEY, LIFESTYLE and SERVICE, WORK and FUN …

Posted on 24. Oct, 2008 by Kaiser.

Is Personal Training a business? I think most people would look at it that way, because most people do it for money …
Well I’m here to say it’s not a business – calling it one really misses the point. If you’ve been having trouble with long hours, a lack of money, or low satisfaction, [...]

MAKING THE JUMP! Talking to Marc Lebert, the da Vinci of Fitness, About Life After PERSONAL TRAINING …

Posted on 28. Aug, 2008 by Kaiser.

It’s a little weird talking about life after training. That’s cuz I’m still very much in the midst of it, making great money at it and loving every minute. But for me and I’ve got to say for everyone else, Personal Training is part of a growth process. You could say [...]

Posted on 18. Aug, 2008 by Kaiser.

Real funny how things turn out …
Super-Trainer started out as a fun way for me to talk (okay brag) about how amazing Personal Training’s been for me and some of the other trainers I know – a real difference from all the negative crap I was seeing and reading about on the web. It [...]

Posted on 09. Apr, 2008 by Kaiser.

When most kids grow up they dream of being doctors, lawyers, or even astronauts. If they only knew what being a Top-Level Trainer was like, they might change their minds!

Posted on 24. Mar, 2008 by Kaiser.

It took almost three weeks of back and forth, speaking through assistants and balancing time-zones. I didn’t have any friends in common with the man, so it was a shot in the dark, but one day while sitting in a Starbucks, I got what I was looking for: my phone rang and the person [...]

MAKING MONEY TRAINING TRAINERS – The new booming sector of the Personal Training Industry.

Posted on 04. Nov, 2007 by Kaiser.

“The field of personal training is red-hot … and almost completely unregulated. This means that the same people you’re relying on to keep you fit – and, more importantly, safe – during your private session may have neither training nor license to do so. Possible result? Severe injuries.”
