Super-Trainer Success Story Roxie Beckles Shares Her Personal Training Experience …

Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by Kaiser.

Is it just me, or has this little blog and the few products or services we’ve put out there created just about as many real success stories as anyone? I just got to thinking about that because of a wonderful email I got out of the blue from a trainer out on the left coast, Roxie Beckles. Roxie is an owner of the SIX-FIGURE TRAINER MANUAL, but other than that, I’ve never heard from her before.  She’s just been hustling her hard little bunz off, taking action, and exploding her income in just a few short months. I’m glad that I was able to play some part in that. Here’s a look at the email Roxie sent me – I ended up replying to her, and she replied back, so you’ll get a look at our back and forth here.  I also have thrown in a few annotations on some of things that Roxie has done right that everyone can replicate and take action on. ———————————————————————— Kaiser I just wanted to personally thank you for this site, and for your manual. From the moment I read the first post since finding Super-Trainer.com (and all of what you’ve posted actually) I [...]

Personal Training Interview With IDEA Personal Trainer Of The Year Nicki Anderson

Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by Kaiser.

If you know the message I’m constantly sharing on this blog, you know about my belief that personal training can and should be very easy. Growing a business?  Reaching all of your personal and income goals?  Creating an amazing life?  Going past your preconceived notions of what’s possible?  Now that might be a little harder … But getting the 10-15 clients you need right now to start making it as an independent trainer can be easy if you have the right role models. For that, I brought on a woman who exemplifies everything good about the Personal Training Business, Nicki Anderson. Nicki is one of the top trainers in the biz, having recently been named IDEA PERSONAL TRAINER OF THE YEAR.  She runs a gym out of the posh neighborhood of Naperville, near Chicago Illinois. And she is a major fitness success story herself, having overcome obesity in her youth, and now educating her clients and the public on the correct ways to achieve lasting weight loss. You’ll learn about Nicki’s story, the unique set-up of her training business, and tons of other helpful success advice in this interview I did with Nicki recently. Just click the link below to [...]

TOP FIVE TRAINERS TURNED ENTREPRENEURS OF ALL TIME – PART 3: SCHWARZENEGGER!

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 pretty funny story which we’ll get to later. But as it relates to training, if you think about the impact Arnold has had on your life, it’s pretty amazing. For one, if you’re a guy, you’ve probably been doing single-joint isolation exercises most of your life, even if you’re a hopeless ectomorph that probably has no business training that way. And most of the gyms we train at are built around the impact Arnold’s methods have had on our culture.  The fact that nearly every gym you go to has five different hammer strength machines just to hit your upper back has a lot to do with Arnold’s impact. And that’s just talking about fitness – we all know that Arnold had another job, and his accomplishments with that one are even more impressive, if that’s possible.  We normally wouldn’t consider acting as [...]

PEOPLE THAT HATE PERSONAL TRAINING PART I: NATE GREEN ON SUPER-TRAINER

Posted on 08. Jul, 2009 by Kaiser.

First off I’d like to start this post off by mentioning I haven’t gone totally off the deep end (yet) … And secondly, this is not really a new series of posts I’m starting on the blog about people that hate personal training (unless you want to see more of them) … But I thought a little humor would be appropriate for the guy I’m profiling here right now – it’s my buddy Nate Green. Now, I don’t think Nate hates Personal Training per se – he’s a guy that took his start in training and was able to leverage it into tremendous opportunities in the fitness industry. Most of what Nate has been doing is online, but not in the typical, e-book, affiliate marketing, joint venture sense. He broke the mold and took it by a different angle, by landing a full-time gig writing for the top online training magazine, T-Nation, getting a major book published, and then blogging about all of it. Add to that serial networking, balls, and a good sense of humor, and you’ve got a fitness success story that is still really just in its starting stages. There’s nothing more that can be said about [...]

TOP FIVE TRAINERS TURNED ENTREPRENEURS OF ALL TIME: PART 1 – BILL PHILLIPS, The Supplement King.

Posted on 22. Jun, 2009 by Kaiser.

I love biographies! Something about reading about the successes of other people and how they got there that makes you realize what you’re capable of. What I especially love is to learn about their humble beginning and adversities, most of which make anything you think is stopping you look really small in comparison.

On that note I bring you the first a special five part series I’m calling TOP FIVE TRAINERS TURNED MARKETERS OF ALL TIME.

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 ..

SUCCESS and DOING WHAT YOU LOVE – Special Guest Post by Personal Trainer Dave Parise (talking about the fallacy of hard work and the “10 year rule”)

Posted on 26. Dec, 2008 by Kaiser.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope you had a healthy and happy one – my gift was getting to take a week off from writing a blog post. That was thanks to Dave Parise, because right now I’m going to re-gift the excellent post he made on the brand new Super-Trainer Forum. This post was pure magic, and I had to give it the credit it deserved. It was all about the issue of natural talent vs. the importance of mastery of something you love. The truth is very few us are born perfect (see picture on left). Everyone else, no matter who you’re talking about, had to put in a tremendous amount of effort before they reached the top of their game.
