Do You Commit to Your Member?

         Members need consistency, routine, and accountability. Why would we offer them a 10 pack of training sessions?.... Or allow them to go month to month? NOTHING less than a one year contract for our members. It's NOT for us (the club), Its for the member. It's our responsibility to our members. We require them to sign a Contract/Commitment. Have you ever thought about providing that member with their own contract, signing it ourselves, and being held accountable to that member?
Here is an example of what everyone of our members should receive from their respective gym... club.

"_____________,Thank you for joining our club and welcome to our family. This contract will serve as our commitment to you. Over the next 12 months we promise to hold you accountable to your fitness goals, as well as to continually motivate and inspire you. Over the next year, your motivation will go through ups and downs. You will be under the weather.You will be extremely busy with work and family. You will be tired. You will not feel like exercising. This is normal. These and a combination of a slew of other reasons have and will always be there. These have and always will distract you from your fitness goals. As your coache(s), our promise and responsibility is to you, and is to NOT quit on you, to NOT give up on you, and ultimately NOT let you quit on yourself."

_____________ Club Representative 


We understand life does happen, if any of the following 3 happen will will gladly terminate your membership providing documentation for:

1. Loss of employment

2. Moving more than 40 miles away

3. A medical reason preventing further activity   

If and when a member shows signs of dropping off, please show them this contract and remind them of your oath to them.

Your Trainer is Like a Unicorn

        Just like Unicorns....Fitness Trainers are "Magical" Creatures. Imagine the daily task convincing someone to hire you as their fitness champion.... after this following conversation...

1. This is not going to be easy.
2. You are going to be tired.
3. You are going to be physically uncomfortable (sore).
4. You have already stated you have no time, but you are going to have to make time for THIS into your already super-busy life.
5. You're NOT going be able to eat the foods you love. You might be hungry
6. You are going need to change how you socialize.
7. You are going to have to go to bed earlier.
8. I know you hate "Fitness" and "Dieting", but I'm gonna do my best to make this fun.
9. You will have to pay for me to hold you accountable to this plan of tasks that I know that you HATE.
10. This will NOT be cheap.
11. You are NOT going to get to your fitness goal(s) tomorrow.
12. You are going have to do this the rest of your life.
13. Your so called "friends" and family will be resentful of your change in lifestyle.

"Great....Now let's get you signed up"

Just like Unicorns.... Fitness Trainers are "Magical" Creatures.

Break The Rules

    Break the rules.... And be creative. Its alright to think outside the box and do what YOU love. Only a few of us are fortunate enough to find a career that allows us to create....this is NO excuse to not use and develop this part of our soul. Sadly, since birth our instinctual need to be creative has been completely squandered. "Color within the lines, tuck in your shirt, get a job with great benefits."
    Just because it is your hobby, you enjoy it, you invest time and energy into and it doesn't translate into revenue... does not mean there is no value in it. The value to expand your mind and have autonomy is absolutely, without doubt, priceless. Paint, sing, dance, write, whatever....I give you permission to take a break from your "normal", "mundane" life, find that one thing that allows you to create, you truly love, and immerse yourself in it. This is success and happiness in my book. You owe it to yourself, your friends and family to be happy.... Break the rules and be creative.
