Counting Reps to Counting Revenue: A Course You Don’t Want to Miss

I just wanted to give you all a quick heads-up that Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove's Counting Reps to Counting Revenue online education course for fitness professionals is now available. Alwyn has been a great business mentor to me over the years and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his role in making Cressey Performance what it is today.  Many of the valuable ideas Alwyn shared with me over the past five years are featured in this course, which not only includes multiple seminar videos, but also an opportunity to ask Alwyn and Rachel questions specific to your business. If you run a fitness business or aspire to do so one day, I'd strongly encourage you to check it out. Sign-up Today for our FREE Newsletter and receive a four-part video series on how to deadlift!

Fat Loss for the “Joes” and the “Pros”

I often get questions on what the best approach for fat loss is - and the truth is that there is no one correct way.  Everyone responds differently, and different fat loss programs have different outcomes for different people. That said, I wanted to outline two resources and the population to which they appeal the most. First, for the general fitness "Joes" (and "Janes") that read this blog, I wanted to give a shout-out to Dr. Kareem Samhouri's Double-Edged Fat Loss program , which is a resource that I'd highly recommend if you (or a family member or friend) is someone who is new to exercise and looking for a program that can deliver excellent results without much equipment.  It certainly isn't right for everyone (particularly a lot of the hardcore fitness enthusiasts and fitness professionals) reading this blog, but Kareem definitely offers an excellent resource to those who need help getting the ball rolling on an exercise program and want to do so without a ton of equipment.  He's also a great dude and an excellent motivator, so I think you'll find it to be good reading, should you make the investment.  Click here for more information and to see if it's a good fit for you.

Second, for the fitness professionals out there, Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove recently introduced an online education series, Counting Reps to Counting Revenue, about how they have built up their gym, Results Fitness, which is arguably the most profitable gym per square foot in the country.  What does this have to do with fat loss?  Well, the fat loss market is their bread and butter - so you can't have a successful business model without a successful training model. For more information, click here. I hope you all had a great weekend.  I'll be back tomorrow with more fresh, new content.

Back from California…

You probably noticed that there wasn't a blog post on Tuesday, and I'm only now getting around to this at 9PM on Wednesday night.  It's because my fiancee and I returned from California early this morning after five days of fun - including the Perform Better Summit in Long Beach, my staff in-service for Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove's staff at their facility in Newhall, and a visit to my buddy Scot Prohaska and his place down in Huntington Beach.  Needless to say, it was a very busy trip - but that's not to say that we didn't have some fun.  Muscle Beach, anyone?

Don't worry, though; I actually did get a bit of relaxation in.  Just give me a day to get back in the groove, dig myself out of the giant landfill that is my email inbox, and I'll be kicking out new content in no time.
