Bar none the number one fear I am hearing from the personal training community has to do with a declining client base in this tricky downword economy. That fear is a direct reflection of the economic climate itself. 

As much as I understand the damage that scarcity thinking and fear does to optimism and forward momentum even I have to admit that people do seem to have tightened up on their discretionary spending.  As we know most of our clients are of the misperseption that training is a luxury item.  And as a result your services may be on the block when considering spending cuts.

Share with us one tactic or your whole stratagy and I’ll send you my ‘Top 10 Success Tactics for Prospering in a Down Economy’

To be honest it was just about the only way I could survive the show…what with Tony Bennett putting met to sleep and all.So hears my official critique. Not only does Jorden have the lungs to make (more…)
