Are you ready for this???

So today, I open my email and there is a letter from one of my competitors trying to disguise themselves as a potential client...

Oh man that made me laugh. It's one thing to shop your competition, but to not even have the common sense to change your email address so that they don't know that its coming from another facility--well...that just proves my point about the stupidity of most of the fitness people in this town.

These people are so paranoid that they don't realize that if they would offer their clients actual RESULTS, they wouldn't need to worry about little ol' me....

What infuriates me the most is that these kinds of people don't realize that the more QUALITY people in business, only increases the success of our industry. They should be embracing competition, not worrying about it.

It's laughable.

Ok....enough about that.

See you later, gators

Lots to talk about

First of all, I haven't posted in awhile and I have no excuse...I have just been busy and/or lazy.

One thing that you may have missed is Julie's great mid-point results.

When Julie started working out with me, she was 29% bodyfat---after 7 weeks she had dropped to 24%!!!!

Please tell her how impressed you are when you see her.

________

Some of you may know this already, but I am in the early stages of opening my own facility. It is not going to be a 'work on your own' type gym like Anytime Fitness or Gold's or National---it will be a little more expensive per month than a regular gym, but it's a totally new concept that Central Oregon has never ever seen. It's my own original idea and I think most of you will really like it.

I am looking for some additional funding right now and anticipate opening sometime this fall---barring something strange. Anyone wishing to see the business plan, please email me and we will discuss. Please note that the law allows me to show the business plan to potential investors, and family members only--so if you just want to peak at the details, let me know and I will send you something else

____________

You may have noticed that I am not at Anytime Fitness as often now...this is two-fold reasoning.

  1. I have been busy outside the gym and with private clients
  2. I have been busy working on my business plan and meeting with bankers, property managers, etc...

I will be in every morning until about noon--unless you want an appointment. Then I will be available as my schedule permits.

Have a great week---I will post more later!

Back again

Well things have been pretty hectic since my vacation ended. Lots has happened.

We need to welcome 6 new virtual training clients to the family. When you see people walking around the gym with the tell-tale pages and clipboard--please stop and say "Hi" to them and welcome them to the group.

Julie has been doing great every morning---Here's her questions for weeks 5 and 6

Q: #1. So you had to workout by yourself while Kit was out of town. What was the biggest difference?

A: Without Kit there to encourage me, It was hard to push myself to my maximum potential with Resistance or cardio exercises.
I had a tendency to put my workouts off until evenings and found my energy level was too low to finish strong.

Q: #2.You’ve completed six weeks—what has changed in that time?

A: My knowledge of overall health has increased, and I have a much higher level of dedication. I now view being fit as a life-style instead of a short-term quick-fix.

Q: #3. If having a trainer should be an educational process---what have you learned about exercise, diet or yourself?

Kit is giving me a greater understanding of the physiology behind the exercises. He is teaching me ways to combine these workouts with his ten commandments of nutrition to reach my goals.


Q: #4. What are you looking forward to in the next month?

A: I'm looking forward to making giant strides toward that hot bikini body!
