  1. An Apology to Doug Holland

    An Apology to Doug Holland

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a public apology to Doug Holland, the owner of Intelligent Exercise and an extraordinary HIT trainer and High-Intensity Training business owner, a man who has contributed so much value to the High-Intensity Training community and certainly to my audience in HIB.   We made a mistake, so a few months ago, back in episode 532, which was called "How to Choose the Best HIT Machines for Your New Garage-Based HIT Studio" with Pete Cerqua, Pete made the comment that Doug's clients load the plate-loaded machines themselves, which was incorrect.   And I think Doug may have reached out to Pete after the episode went live, and if Pete reached out to me to say, "Hey Lawrence, we must apologise in our next episode". And unfortunately, I completely forgot about that. That's my fault, my responsibility. I didn't prepare the next podcast with Pete to ensure that we mention that and that we apologise on that podcast. And we recorded two or three podcasts after that one, so that's completely my fault.    And what we're going to do and what we may have already done by the time this is published is actually remove that excerpt from episode 532, as well as obviously publish this apology, so it's super clear that Doug loads the plate-loaded machines for his clients; he would not ask them to load the machines themselves.    So, apologies to you, Doug.    I hope this had no negative impact on your business. I understand that your clients listen to the show, and they mention it to you. And so hopefully this will clear up any sort of confusion.    Lawrence

    How To Become A High-Earning HIT Personal Trainer Clients Love — Start Like This (Anthony "Tony" Sandbothe)

    What's it like to go from a personal trainer who got kicked out of a fitness club and then almost instantly go from 20 sessions a week to 60?    That's the story of Sandbothe Strong Founder Anthony "Tony" Sandbothe, and buckle up — he's going after Million-Dollar Trainer Pete Cerqua's weekly workout session record!   In this episode, we talk about what he did that made him blow up so quickly after struggling, his approach to HIT workouts that make clients keep coming back even after more than a decade, getting high-quality referrals (like, Nike Executive quality!), what he says you should do when coaching clients, and why you probably need less equipment than you think to be super successful.   If you want a clear path to success that's very reasonable but also very effective – if you actually walk it – then you'll want to see what Tony's journey was like — check it out now! ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Join the FREE HIB community here ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Join More HIT Experts in the HIB Pro Community here  ━━━━━━━━━━━━ For the complete show notes, links, and resources, click here

Here's somebody who's already done it: Quinn's Gym Founder Kevin Quinn joins us to talk about how he did that.  It wasn't all smooth sailing, though, because he did run through some challenges that almost derailed his fitness journey, but he did some things you might want to know about so you can avoid the same pitfalls and grow your business faster without burning out and losing your passion.  How can your style of strength training help different people like athletes, older clients, or even special needs children? How can you approach client instruction in those very specific situations? How would you even get started, and how can you make sure you become successful? Plus, Kevin talks about some important things you should never forget if you're a personal trainer. Kevin's passion just jumps out of this episode, and I really think you'll appreciate the value of what you as a strength trainer can do for your clients — make sure you check this one out. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Join the FREE HIB community here with a weekly Q&A with Lawrence ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Join HIT Experts in the HIB Community here  ━━━━━━━━━━━━ For the complete show notes, links, and resources, click here
