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

Posted on 28. May, 2009 by 7Figure Sam.

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:

BAD NEWS BUT GOOD PRESS – Hard Financial Times For Personal Trainers Covered In PAGE SIX MAGAZINE …

Posted on 18. Oct, 2008 by Kaiser.

Personal Training is a LUXURY service – it’s a real good idea for you to view what you do that way, if you don’t already. I always keep than in mind when I deliver it, market it, and talk about it – it gives me the right mindset when approaching the product I’m trying to sell and the feelings I’m trying to give my clients, all the while kicking their asses in the process. But the luxury services market isn’t doing too good now is it? You could either be living under a rock or in complete denial like me, but you should know that our country and pretty much the entire world is going through an economic crisis. If you believe all the negative press, it won’t be long before garbage bags and straw hats are the highest fashion people can afford! SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT THE ECONOMY IS IN THE TOILET? What happens to us as trainers, that sell this luxury service to a high-end market with the goal of crafting an empowering, comfortable, and appealing lifestyle for ourselves? That’s exactly the subject that was tackled in a recent article of the popular gossip and high-end living [...]

TOP LEVEL PERSONAL TRAINERS FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES – Find out about the new age of Personal Training: training without limits.

Posted on 12. Sep, 2007 by Kaiser.

I just got my hands on an article from late 2005 from the New York Times and it was pretty shocking. What’s the main point of the article? Personal Training isn’t your usual job – it can’t be bound by the confines of a gym, can’t be punched in a clock, and your heart is the only qualification you need. The main trainer focused in the article was Juris Kupris. Juris is the prototype Top-Level Trainer; visiting his web-site, you’ll notice absolutely impeccable personal marketing and image management. Let’s sing his praises for a bit: He’s used the media to establish himself as a fitness expert (takes some dedication, but fairly simple) Focused on a target market that can deliver a high return in terms of training usage and high-value referrals Has branched into other sources of income other than hourly sessions (he’s released a DVD collection)
