The Fitness Industry is in a Recession

By RahzS · Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

As I begin to to write this post I realize it may upset a few people, but a great man once told me it’s better to be respected than liked by everyone. I was not born into this great world for everyone to like me, I was born to make a difference.

Yes, you read my title right the fitness industry is in a recession. There are not enough qualified trainers doing their jobs. This post isn’t to single out any one trainer; it’s about the entire industry as a whole. As I began the 2008 year, Breakthroughs to Fitness was launched, and I promised I would be different than, “The pay me and have a nice day trainers.” I promised each of my clients I would give my all in 2008 to make this their best year ever. I can’t sit here and begin to tell you everyone one of my clients is having a breakthrough year, but I can say read our testimonials, and watch the video testimonials of our satisfied clients.

As we begin to look forward to change in the United States of America over the next few years, I look forward to change in the fitness industry as well. Breakthroughs to Fitness is dedicated to assisting everyone who deserves results for the rest of 2008 and into 2009. The B2F Coaches are committed to continuing to educate themselves with the latest industry breakthroughs in fitness and all other modalities related to health and wellness. Education and consistent growth is a signature in our B2f Family. We believe if you’re not growing you’re dying; Point Blank!

We are so frustrated with the lack of results we see trainers giving to their clients, that we’re going to step up and challenge these lazy, non-producing, session counting wanna Be’s to change their weak habits or get out of our industry. If you can’t feel my passion, call me, and I’ll give it to you straight from the Horse’s mouth.

You may be asking, “What are you planning to do that’s so great?”

It’s simple. We’re going to out perform every trainer in sight and create more results with every client we train. We’re going to post more success  testimonials on our blog than any other Health and Wellness company in America. So if you train your clients at our gyms you better step your game up and Bring it. It’s not about ego’s. It’s about assisting more clients to get what they pay for…Results.My clients don’t pay One Hundred dollars per hour just to hang out with a really good looking super built Black Man. They pay to Loss weight, look great naked, run faster, jump higher, and feel amazing every damn morning.

You’re probably asking “does that really happen?” Yes because B2F Fitness coaches get results, and they do everything in their power to assure their clients are excited and fired up for each session.

Let me ask you a serious Question: Have you evaluated your trainers performance lately? On a scale of 1 to 10; 10 being Excellent and 1 being he/she isn’t cutting it but you don’t know how to cut him/her loose.  What score would he/she receive from you? In a time where every penny counts are you investing your cash with the right fitness professional? I’m not here to make the decision for you.  I’m here to empower you to think about it, and make a decision you can live with.

Can you live with the decision you’ve been making all of 2008?

This is what I can tell you about the B2F Fitness Coaches, and Yes I’m bias because I’m the damn President of the company and I’m writing this post. Deal with it! Kidding :-)  All seriousness each B2f Coach program designs every session specifically for each clients individual goals. We take into consideration data like RMR, Body Fat Percentage, Blood type, Actual Blood Test results, and much, much more. In about 2 in a half months we’re going to be asking President Obama what  he will be doing to change the nations financial crisis; You should ask you trainer what they are going to do to guarantee you get results over the next 90 days. If they’re not willing to put their money where their mouth is, it’s time to fire your trainer, and find one who isn’t afraid to step up and be held accountable for their client’s results.

If you like this post please leave your comments in the area provided. If you didn’t like this post also leave your comments and tell me why. I’m open minded and ready to hear all sides of this story. This just happens to be my opinion, and I’m willing to express how I feel about the state of this great industry and how it is losing credibility fast.

Quick Story: My Partner met a prospect yesterday that called him about our programs. Right off the bat she started bashing her previous 3 trainers. Here’s a lady who’s had 3 plus trainers and none have assisted her in creating the body she desires. She’s a professional pain therapist and likes to refer clients to trainers. Wow can you see why so many trainers can’t make enough money to stay in the game long enough to really make a difference. Check back in a few weeks. This mystery prospect will be B2F’S  Next Breakthrough client.

As always Bwell because you deserve to be fit!
