Vince, I pointed out you because of another thread I believe you started. It's just not aimed at you but other trainers who fall into this category of using an industry to try to capitalize on without actually being in position to talk about it. I'm saying before you come off as an expert in a particular industry you have to prove yourself FIRST. If people are talking trash about my my training protocols, business knowledge or whatever, fine because I KNOW I CAN BACK IT UP. Am I going to open my financial's on here to anyone who should ask? Hell no. But do I make more than $6k in a year...yes, as a matter of fact thats around what my house payment is per month if that is any indication.
Let me ask you Vince, what do you research more, training methods and protocols or business? Don't get me wrong, business is business, I most certainly get it.
If you have a question about my research, training methods, protocols, or business you could just send a PM to me instead of just creating an thread directly at me. Of course, with saying that you are not the authority on deciding who is a fitness expert in the industry and who isn't.
Fact is I'm not concerned about being the fitness expert but rather being a successful fitness professional who can pay their bills from doing something I love to do which is training people and helping them achieve their goals which is what I've been doing for 9 years, Marino. I only care what my clients say and not a bunch of Getbig or internet trolls. I'm well respected in the community I live in, I do a good job and that's it.
However I will tell you something, out of the 3 active personal trainers in Sylva, NC I'm not the top dog. The person around here who has the most clients is a guy who doesn't even train in a gym. He drives around town in a old beige church van and he has a bowflex machine in the rear. He goes to people's houses wheels in that bowflex and his clients work out on it and he's done that for over 20 years. Most trainers like you would laugh and ridicule this guy but he bought his house and put his kids through school with that old faded paint tan church van and bowflex machine. He has no website, no office, and doesn't advertise...just word of mouth and he's still rocking along in that van and bowflex although he finally decided to paint it white.
How do you think he was so successful and had so many customers and clients?? His method of training was simple, his clients got results and he has good business skills.
If you got a question, Coach, ask first before coming to your own conclusions and disrespecting someone's business. If you were any type of fitness professional you would have contacted me directly
