			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve dealt with it in your personal training business before.  Clients that you have to chase down for money, don&#8217;t show up on time, or worse, don&#8217;t show up at all.  Hell, many of us have even hired a lot of trainers that can&#8217;t show up on time or at all.  Clearly, these people are not taking you or your time or your business seriously at all. <span id="more-440"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s already going to be hard for us just because of the nature of what we are doing.  We need to do everything we can to raise that standard and attract the right customers and employees.</p>
<p>Take it seriously, make your clients, prospects, and employees take it seriously too.  Stand up and project a professional image.  Build your brand.  Look nice. Look like you really know what you are doing compared to the unprofessional people out there.  Don&#8217;t settle for the same old crap from clients and employees.</p>
<p>Here are a few <a href="https://www.spartatraining.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=14" target="_blank">business tools</a> that can help you do that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this video some time ago and it really was eye opening. It references research the world over as to what motivates us in our professional lives. It&#8217;s particularly interesting as far as looking at what motivates a staff. Most importantly, the commonly held beliefs regarding money and motivation, ARE NOT TRUE. Worse than that, if you try to motivate someone under those beliefs, you may end up getting the opposite effect.  Take a look at the video below and try to apply some of the findings of this research to your personal training business.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/u6XAPnuFjJc" frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe></p>
<p>What do you think about this? Personal training, I would say is not a mundane repetitive activity where money is a sole motivator to the staff member. Have you experienced this in your business?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After more than 2 years of not taking on any more 1 on 1 personal training clients and growing our personal training business for our trainers, I&#8217;ve decided to open up 1 of our 1 on 1 options again; high intensity training phone consultations.</p>
<p>Whether you are a high intensity training fitness enthusiast or a professional personal trainer in the field, Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has the answer for you to help perfect your training experience. <span id="more-179"></span>A little knowledge goes a long way.</p>
<p>Are you having trouble making progress? Don&#8217;t know how to organize a routine? Don&#8217;t know how to figure out appropriate resistances to use? Equipment problems? Don&#8217;t know how to work with or around an injury? Specific problems with your clients that you train?</p>
<p>Whatever your problem, more than likely the answer is within reach and can be solved relatively quickly and you can get back to productive training.</p>
<p>Master Trainer, Chris Lutz, has been thoroughly involved specifically in HIT for well over a decade professionally being certified when he was only 19 years old and obtaining a college degree in exercise science. He&#8217;s been using HIT principles since the age of 14. Through constant academic study, good further technical training from some of the best minds in the industry, several years of management of other HIT facilities, and owning a HIT company currently, put him at Master Trainer status. He has seen and worked through just about every issue relating to safe and effective high intensity training.</p>
<p>Testimonials:</p>
<p>&#8220;Chris Lutz has been our personal trainer for 4 years, and in our opinion, you will not find a better trainer with a better program. We&#8217;re both turning 45 years old this summer, and are thankful to say that we&#8217;re in the best shape of our lives due to our regimen with S.P.A.R.T.A.. Every week for 4 years we&#8217;ve done a High Intensity Training (HIT) workout for 30 minutes a session, that&#8217;s it. We both have gained strength/muscle mass, and also have lost a significant amount of fat by maximizing our efforts during training sessions and minimizing unhealthy food choices. If you&#8217;re looking for a personal trainer who can guide you to your personal best, please give S.P.A.R.T.A. a call.&#8221;</p>

Tina and Marcus Pluntke</p>
<p>&#8220;I am so excited to have found Chris Lutz and S.P.A.R.T.A.! I have worked with other trainers in the past&#8212;have spent a lot of money&#8212;and have gotten minimal results. In just 2 months at S.P.A.R.T.A. and the program they employ, I am down in weight, up in muscle tone, and thrilled with the results. You know it&#8217;s working when others notice a difference in you, too&#8212;and that&#8217;s just further proof that the knowledge and expertise is what separates them from others in the personal training profession. If you want great results in a short amount of time, look to Chris and his S.P.A.R.T.A. team. You will NOT be disappointed.&#8221;</p>

Their personal training regime is doable for anyone at any age. They make the process so simple and so attainable. It&#8217;s easy to lose weight and get fit with the schedule. Chris Lutz&#8217;s knowledge of anatomy and it&#8217;s relation to fitness, and health is extraordinary. He not only gives you a plan, but the why behind it. He is very low pressure with measurable results. I highly recommend S.P.A.R.T.A.. They will change your life!&#8221;</p>

Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity<br />
Sharon Inetas &#8211; training with S.P.A.R.T.A. since 2008</p>
<p>&#8220;I hired Chris Lutz to help me correct 9 years of weight gain and muscle loss due to an out of control thyroid. In the last year I have lost 50 pounds and gained muscle thanks to Chris&#8217; ability to provide a personal training regime that works for me. S.P.A.R.T.A. understands the body and illnesses and worked with me to overcome the obstacles for my specific condition. You have nothing to lose by visiting them for a consultation to see if they can improve your health and fitness level. I guarantee you will be pleased by the results if you follow the program&#8230;.and who can&#8217;t do two thirty minute workouts each week?&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you read our free report on how to double your income as a personal trainer, you know that specializing in a philosophy that will allow you to maximize your time like High Intensity Training (HIT) can allow you to do just that and potentially double your income. <span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p>Currently, there is no traditional <a href="https://www.spartatraining.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=14&amp;products_id=81" target="new">HIT specialization certification</a> on the market. If you didn&#8217;t know, we&#8217;ve created a HIT specialization certification. Of course, as you know from being on this list, it is also focused on helping you create a successful business entity not just education in a particular method. It is different in that it now comes with 2 extra free bonus items:</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.spartatraining.com/store/index.php?main_page=document_product_info&amp;cPath=14_10&amp;products_id=60&amp;zenid=5g7p17d6sn5i9ns0iafcjmrk33" target="new">A personal trainer marketing plan template</a>.</strong></p>

<p>Many of you have been waiting for this for a long time. Well, it&#8217;s here. The entire thing can be done virtually, but will thoroughly test your knowledge and, more importantly, instructional competence. You can save on travel costs, but should you choose to do it in person and live or would like to travel, we have several Master Trainers that would be glad to assist you in Las Vegas, Central and Gulf coast Florida, and Ontario, Canada.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been in business for any length of time, you probably know that it&#8217;s hard to survive on one product alone. Especially a service like personal training which can be at a premium in many areas. If something were to happen like, say, I don&#8217;t know, a global financial crisis (oh wait, that did happen) then it can make it hard for people to feel confident spending a lot on what they still consider &#8220;luxury services&#8221;. This is where other income streams can come into play and help support the health of your business while other streams my see a decline. Below you&#8217;ll find one of the best tools for doing so at a lower price to the consumer, and more time for you. In addition, it can be set to be self guided on auto pilot if you wish and it offers an opportunity for recurring revenue. <span id="more-172"></span>You should always try to implement programs that have an element of recurring revenue.</p>
<p>Lead capture, marketing and promoting yourself and your services&#8230;these are all core business practices for you. The eFitnessTracker system helps with that. Imagine having a tool such as a Fitness Analysis to send people to and be able to capture them as a lead. Or just a Contact Us page for someone to contact you and inquire more about what you have to offer. Do you think that could lead to extra sales for you? Check out some demos:</p>

<p>Now what about easily accepting payments online? Setting up recurring monthly payments? Promoting upcoming events such as bootcamps, group classes, etc. and accepting registrations AND payments for those events? Check out some demos:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In personal training, continuing education is a standard thing for keeping up with research and industry news. That&#8217;s great for the technical side of what we do, but it rarely ever includes continuing education in business or financial education. Sadly, many times, that is left to us to do on our own. S.P.A.R.T.A. has some solutions to this and is always working on more. Below, we&#8217;ve included some resources <span id="more-159"></span>that should help you in your business and financial education so that you can prosper in your <a href="https://www.spartatraining.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=14" target="_blank">personal training business</a> as well as personally.</p>
<p><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=sporperfandre-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=0767923820" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach is my favorite personal finance book of all time. It&#8217;s my financial adviser&#8217;s favorite book too. That&#8217;s what made me know we were of the same mind and to work with him. This book is the epitome of practical, put in place today strategies that can pay off big time for you in the long run. Like David says in the book, &#8220;It&#8217;s not how much you make, but how much you save.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=sporperfandre-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=0887307280" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>The E-Myth is a must read for any business owner. Gerber tackles many of the misconceptions surrounding starting and owning a business. Most importantly, he reinforces the concept that you should be working on your business, not necessarily in your business.</p>
<p><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=sporperfandre-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=0446677477" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe></p>
<p>The Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki may sound a little boring and confusing from the outside, but I assure you it is one of the books that has really helped and given me perspective in my own financial education. He&#8217;ll take your through the quadrant and show you the drawbacks to staying on the left side of the quadrant and how you can move ultimately to the right side. If you ever hope to achieve financial freedom, understanding these principles is a must. Traditionally, only the rich tend to think this way and apply it to their lives. You&#8217;ll have to virtually change your mindset to move into the most productive places in the quadrant.</p>
<p>At some point (sooner rather than later), be sure to pick up a copy of these books and give them a read. Nearly every successful business owner I know has read them as part of their own business and financial education. Many of these principles and concepts don&#8217;t come naturally. What&#8217;s worse, is that we may have been conditioned our whole lives to thinking and acting in ways that are inhibitory to our personal success. Continuing to educate, and re-educate ourselves is vital if we wish to become prosperous.</p>
<p>Within our organization, you can remain certified if you&#8217;re a member and participate in our business of personal training membership area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Generally in business you want to differentiate yourself from your competition. If you read my posts over the last couple of weeks, you&#8217;ll see good ways to do that. What you don&#8217;t want to do is look like everyone else. If you stand beside someone working out having them perform any given routine you know, from the outside, it looks like what every other trainer in the gym is doing. A good way to differentiate and create more quality and value in your programming and business is to <span id="more-156"></span> track client performance.</p>
<p>Some of you already do this and that&#8217;s awesome! Most trainers I see though, don&#8217;t. First of all, there&#8217;s no way you can remember all of the minute details of seat settings, etc. for a number of clients. Second, there&#8217;s no way to show true progress your clients are making. Yes, there&#8217;s value in variety, but if done to excess, records are useless and meaningless. It is possible to have someone do a lot of work and effort, but still not really progress much. You have to have some repeatability in there in order to show comparison. Probably the biggest principle to adhere to in personal weight training is the progressive overload principle. You don&#8217;t really know if you&#8217;re abiding by that principle if you have a different exercise every time. What might end up happening is apparent progress, not true progress. Granted, you could do a pre and post test of some standardized exercise(s) which would be a step in the right direction. But, why not try to get your clients a little better nearly every time they come in? If you are tracking their progress and monitoring all the variables, you can show them graphically, show trends, and it gives them a sense that you care about their progress and how their results.</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll also stand out from those around you and appear more professional. As you know, I think our whole industry can use a big dose of more professionalism. More professional also means that you can charge more too as there should be higher perceived value your service. We track everything and even use stopwatches to time right down to the second. The more you can control and the more you can isolate out certain variables, the more effectiveness you&#8217;ll deliver.</p>

<p>This also comes in very handy if the client has medical needs that you may need to communicate to another health professional. Hell, mine even came into play once legally when one of our clients was being assaulted by her husband. I had documented the day and specifically what areas she had mentioned were hurting her and had to adjust the routine as a result. Of course, she didn&#8217;t tell me this was the case at the time.</p>
<p>For good tools in order to implement this, click on the progress chart image above or <a href="http://www.spartatraining.com/info-products.php" target="new">go here to download a progress chart</a>.  Between charting performance accurately, and measuring circumference and body composition as accurately as you can, you should be able to deliver more value in your program to your clients and stand out from the crowd. Nobody will ever be able to doubt the validity of your methods.</p>
