Posted by on April 28, 2009 at 7:47 am

p29-1So this guy comes in to one of my boot camps for a workout...
(My boot camp marketing pulls in the coolest folks)

The guy was a total stud!

When he left, one of my boot camp members said to me, "Dude, do you know who that was?  It's Peter Vidmar US Olympic Gymnastics Champion... The Only guy to score a perfect 10!"

So I Googled him and it turns out that he's also scored a perfect 10 in his business and family life!

So I said, "Dude, what's you secret, can I interview you for my fitness and boot camp marketing blog?"

He said sure, no problem... But the sweetest part is that I got to do the interview at his house (More like mansion!)

But first Check out this video from my visit to his house...

Being A Personal Trainer At A Corporate Gym Sucks

Posted by on April 24, 2009 at 5:50 pm

p28-1Why am I running head first into a brick wall?

It's cuz I have a better chance at breaking through the wall, then earning six figures with personal training  at a corporate gym.

So then, why in the hell would a personal trainer purposely stay at a dead end corporate gym?

Well, there are two main reasons.

  1. That personal trainer doesn't know how EASY it really is to work for yourself.
  2. A mediocre personal trainer who has NO PASSION for being a fitness professional, and just wants a "job" to pay the bills.

If you're the second example and have no passion for fitness, then PLEASE, get out of the fitness industry now cuz Your giving us a bad rep!

However, if you want to have your VERY OWN FITNESS BIZ along with the income and respect that comes with it, then the "GREAT" Kaiser Serajuddin will show you how to... DUMP THE GYM!

Now hear it from the man himself...

Interview With Fitness Info Marketer Lee Hayward

Posted by on April 21, 2009 at 11:17 am

p27-1I just interviewed my friend Lee Hayward to learn how he uses FACEBOOK to market his fitness information products.

BTW - He is making a KILLING on the internet 😀

Facebook has become HUGE, and is WAY cheaper and in some ways more targeted than advertising  for boot camps and group personal training on Google adwords.

Networking vs. Not Working

Posted by on April 15, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Have you heard all the legends about boot camp and group trainers getting BOAT LOADS of new clients by networking, only to get rejected and feel like a cheap solicitor when you try it?

p25-1

Well,  you're defiantly not alone, but the GOOD NEWS is that I've discovered an amazing method that not only gets other business's to refer you tons of clients, but they instantly kiss your ass within 23 seconds after meeting you.

One of my boot camp trainers had questions about using my "Network Referral System." and I thought you might want to listen in.

How To Not Get Your Boot Camps Compared To Cheap Aerobics Classes

Posted by on April 8, 2009 at 7:20 am

p23-1

p23-2All the badass boot camp marketing in the world won't save your boot camps from the "Boot Camp Grim Reaper" if they're being compared to a $19 a month aerobics class.

Lately I've noticed some local boot camps falling into the trap of replicating exercises, movements and themes done in a aerobics classes.

Here's why this can be a HUGE problem, and you may not even know it.

Most of your boot camp clients have either seen or been in some sort of classes offered at those huge chain gyms.

When you imitate anything done in one of those classes, your members either consciously or unconsciously make a comparison in their brain.

p23-3When this happens, the value of your boot camp goes WAY down, and they suddenly start feeling like they are paying too much.

What's weird is, they might not even know why they are feeling like that.

The bad news is this usually leads to "unexpected client cancelations"

And that SUCKS gorilla balls!

p23-4

So, to make sure that shit doesn't accidentally happen to you, I made a quick video to watch!

Lesson In Marketing From The Balloon Dude

Posted by on April 3, 2009 at 10:41 am

p22-1I took my wife and two daughters to the mall this weekend for some good ol'  family time.

The kids wanted to eat at the rain forest cafe.

It's actually pretty cool cuz there's elephants, gorillas, anacondas and alligators that are life size and move when ever the lightening and thunder effects go on.

They also have these dudes walking around, making balloon animals for the kids...  They pretty much get paid p22-2in tips.

Check out this quick lesson in marketing.

In this video notice the "$5 bill" hanging around the balloon dudes neck...

Also notice my wife giving him a "$5" tip. (Brilliant Subliminal marketing)

Subliminal, suggestive marketing stuff happens to us all the time.

For example...

Rare Video Of Boot Camp Coaching Client Getting A Live Critique

Posted by on March 31, 2009 at 7:57 am

I teamed up with one of my boot camp coaching clients today and taught the class WITH her.  (I had a blast and lost my voice, too)

I asked her if it would be cool to share her boot camp review on my blog and she said "yup, no problem"  (That was way cool of her since this video was just for her)

This girl is gonna be a ROCKSTAR.  She has only been teaching boot camp for 2 weeks and already has 20 people a class!

In this NEVER BEEN VIEWED video, my boot camp marketing client gets critiqued right after her workout.

During this short 5:42 video we cover:

  • Kick ass vs. lame ass themes
  • Dangerous Ab exercises
  • Acting like an AUTHORITY!
  • And American Idol

How To Never Run Out Of Kick Ass Energy For Your Boot Camps

Posted by on March 27, 2009 at 6:26 pm

p20-1Lately I've had a ton of people who are using my boot camp marketing strategies ask me how the hell do I have so much energy.

I think one reason I'm getting this question so much is because when your boot camps are flooded with massive amounts of members, it can take a bit more energy then usual.

Shit, there's nothing worse then having 30 to 50 paying boot campers in front of you when your energy's low... THAT SUCKS big hairy donkey balls!

p20-2

Here's a quick video explaining my "Endless Energy" secret
