Travel Based Marketing – Celebrity Retreat

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

I recently came across a short blog post “Sailing the Seven Seas with your favorite rock star on a fan appreciation cruise” highlighting the joys of cruising and hanging out with your favorite rock stars.  That’s rock stars or substitute with celebrity of your choice doing some similar travel based marketing event.

Be The Fit Pro For Celeb Retreat

Be The Fit Pro For Celeb Retreat

It reminded me of a new feature we offer our member fitness professionals.

The new feature hasn’t been highlighted much as our collaborating partners are still working out final details with the all-inclusive resorts they contract with.  But, ultimately it will be an opportunity to participate as part of a rock star celebrity entourage when they do one of these travel based marketing events or even more often when they seek a celebrity retreat get away for themselves and family or friends.

Playing the role of celebrity can be difficult to turn off and get away from.  This is the reason some of the higher end Caribbean hospitality settings we send our fitness professionals to are requesting we work with them to provide private celebrity group fit pros while they enjoy their time out of the spot light. A bit of a celebrity retreat.

This will be very exciting and prestigious for the Fit Pro…. So how do we sort to the right Fit Pro?

Client Diet & Nutrition Challenges – Solutions

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

In 15+ years of participating in and around the fitness industry, the challenge of addressing client nutrition has been an ongoing issue.

Knowing that a client has the ability to unravel a perfectly designed exercise program with only a few poor consumption decisions on their own time has left many a fitness professional frustrated… and I’m sure a few just plain pissed.

Clients as well as the majority of the population love to search out and buy into the latest greatest diet fad creating an often uphill battle with the topic of nutrition.

Because of this, I have for years been on the lookout for a scientifically based, sensible dietary tool that could be used to assist the client without taking myself out of my scope of practice.

That solution has been found, used by us locally, and with a little negotiation I am very happy to be able to provide this same opportunity to other trainers…

Health & Lifestyle – Wellness Coaching

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Over the past several years, Wellness Coaching has taken on a more predominant role in the fitness industry.  It is difficult to get through an industry trade journal without running into an ad for one or more “educational opportunities” for becoming a wellness coach.

In working with several thousand fitness professionals from various specialty backgrounds I most often am asked two simple questions.  I want to share those answers with you here.

  1. What is a Wellness Coach – Answer: A proactive advocate for the overall wellness of the client.
  2. What is best training for becoming a Wellness Coach – Answer: Health & Lifestyle Coach Certificate from the National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH).

Want further details on the reasoning for these conclusions? READ ON. (more…)

Fit Pro in Paradise: The Working Vacation

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Too often we see our clients work harder at developing excuses for not putting in the necessary time training than they do when the are actually training.

One of the primary excuses is that they are “stressed” and/or “over worked”.

These same issues face the fitness professional as well. Whether its bootcamps, private training, lecturing, or related… as an individual/business it takes a lot of time, effort, and energy to keep the fit pro business side healthy.

It may be time to take advantage of your fitness specialty and get away to recharge the batteries. A working vacation makes for a happy fit pro in paradise.

Your expertise qualifies you to “work” at tropical resort locations at a fraction of the cost. In fact all companies who offer this service allow this opportunity for not only you, but also a guest (and some locations kids).

Now work is a relative term. Even on vacation I would venture to guess that all who read this blog are people likely to exercise anyways and answer questions of other gym goes as requested.  A work exchange program provides you the opportunity to do just that for short periods each day while the remainder of the time you and your guest(s) enjoy all-inclusive resort amenities.  (more…)

Living Outside the Box: Fit Pro Opportunity Beyond the Obvious

Friday, March 6th, 2009

It is human nature to want to stay in a comfort zone. Why else would we see people doing the same exercise programs over and over again, month after month, year after year with very little change, even when results stagnate or even decline over time.

In our Fitness Careers or Business, this same fondness of comfort can stagnate or even decline our attempts at biz achievement as well.

The most glaring example to me, at the moment, occurs when I am discussing membership levels to the Fitness Pro Travel site.  The fitness professional sees the option of upgrading an account and can only equate the value of that membership in how fast they can make that money back in discounts.

I have to tell you, the discounts are simply thrown in as a small bonus to the other features from both Fit Bodies and FIT Launch.  Should you want to travel 5-8 times each year you can make all your money back, but that is certainly not the idea behind it. It’s just a piece.

… We are intending to go outside the box and offer far more to you than any other website or community through the tools we have developed.
