The time has come...

These guys are close.  It seems they are trying to give the community a place to go where they can rate their trainer, or find one that is reputable.

This is a great start!!  I know some people say "word of mouth" is the best way to find a good trainer.  I also know that some people are embarrased to say they need a trainer.  However, evaluations and grading would take care of that!

Begin looking for those grades!  One day in the future, these grades will be listed on the website for all to see.

FitSource...the time has come.

Here is yet another reason why I want to evaluate trainers!  The process is on the way.  Contact me for more information about the new standard in Personal Training.

Here is a blog post I wrote a while back.  Some trainers tend to look, copy, and paste without asking themselves why NOT do an exercise, or could the exercise be applied better to a certain population or situation.  Think.

It's time! It's here! It's the next step!

It's time to put an end to the non-standard in the industry of Personal Training.  FitSource has the answer!  A new evaluation process from a third party company that takes all certifications into account.  Are you a trainer who trains bodybuilders?  Are you a CrossFitter?  Are you a Mobility Specialist?  We can evaluate you and your staff to see what the strengths and weaknesses are of your staff.

A standard is long in coming in this industry...here it is!

Another reason for an Industry STANDARD!

Yes folks, it has finally hit NPR!  Here is another reason to create an industry standard.  One with which everyone can use to determine if their Personal Trainer is on the up-and-up.  I have seen trainers in this industry come and go, only to have gym owners and members wonder why someone got hurt, didn't get the results they were looking for, or didn't feel that the Personal Training industry was worth a damn.

Educate...this is what I do.  Now I will evaluate!
I for one, after 15 years in this industry, am tired of the labels, rumors, ambiguity towards Personal Training, and am ready to do something about it.  Hence, Personal Trainer Evaluations!  Just like a restaraunt grade, we can be evaluated as well!  I have developed a system to do this and let the general consumer know what, and WHO, they are hiring!

This article is exactly why I am embarking on a new venture with FitSource.  If I sent this article out to fellow trainers, the community, and especially those who I know love running, what do you think would happen?

Are the authors of this article correct?  How exactly was their study conducted to get those numbers?  Oh, and what do those numbers mean?  I certainly don't think running is good for every body.  But who is running for, and who shouldn't lace them up (so to speak)?

This, along with the thousands of books on fitness and conditioning, is why FitSource will become a household word.

Hi to each of you.  It has been a very long 3 years for me and my family.  When the dust settled, my wife is a 3 time cancer survivor, and FitSource is taking a new direction.

I am excited about a new service FitSource will be offering to gyms, Personal Trainers, Fitness Directors, anyone who manages Personal Trainers, insurance companies, and anyone else who needs to know where the finest Personal Trainers are...those who are safe, effective, and reputable.

In the next two months, you will hear more about this service, as I will announce in the beginning of January everything I have been working on the last two years as my lovely wife battled through her treatments.

See you again soon!
