CYCLING FIT PRO – YOU NEED REGULAR CARE AND FEEDING.

That’s where ICI/PRO comes in. They deliver the steady, nutritious diet of ici-adInformation, Motivation and Entertainment Instructors need to stay Fresh and Informed.

Reading a profile can be enjoyable, but sometimes not practical, so much of what we deliver comes in the form of Audio PROfiles. Exclusive to ICI/PRO Members, Audio PROfiles are a short Podcast mp3 that explain the inner workings of a class taught by Master Instructor Jennifer Sage or other experienced Instructor. Many ICI/PRO Members access the Audio Profiles via a Super Secret iTunes Feed. Their online training videos show you exactly how to do it.

Each Audio PROfiles is a complete class. Not just the ride profile, but also queuing, presentation ideas, motivating language and a suggested playlist you can use to bring a fresh perspective and maybe some much needed excitement to your next class.

ICI is a great group of fitness professionals dedicated to the specialty of cycling.  I suggest you take a look at their opportunities as there is likely benefit via membership – Take a look at what their membership consists of.

Life of an Entrepreneur

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Life of an Entrepreneur – This a guest post / re-post, but points 3 & 4 are very true to the independent fitness professional making it worth showing here as well.  Simple and to the point.

~~

Ah, the life of an entrepreneur. Come up with a business idea, write your business plan, line up a bunch of venture funding, and retire to a private island a few short years later when you go public.

1. You’re more likely to make a living than make the Forbes 500. Most entrepreneurs end up making a living, and some make a really nice living doing what they love.

2. There is no money line to get in. There are a lot of you’s out there competing over very scarce resources. But don’t think you’ll just get in line and pick up your check.

3. It’s more about you than your plan. Business success has more to do with you than anything else. The best plans mean nothing in the hands of the wrong person.

4. You’re in sales, whether you think so or not. Every business on the planet is selling something.

5. You’re going to fail. Yep, you will fail. You will probably fail multiple times. If that concerns you, pick another path for your life. If it doesn’t concern you that you will be an utter failure at some point, good – with every failure you get one step closer to success, cliché but true.

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.
