If his girlfriend or one of his clients' spouses ever found out about this other life he's leading, everything could blow up in his face and it could mean the end of his career.

Download or read book Everybody Needs Training written by Danny Kavadlo and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Anyone Else Want to Be a Highly Successful Personal Trainer-And Truly Live Your Dream? Most folk who embark on a career as a trainer, do so initially out of a personal passion for fitness and a strong desire to help other achieve results. Be it weight loss, conditioning, strength gains, flexibility or enhanced performance. But a passion for working out and an earnest desire to help others-alone-does not a successful personal trainer make. The sad fact is that the turn over rate for personal trainers after one year is over 80%. Why? It''s almost always because the trainer didn''t have a proper understanding of the BUSINESS of being a fitness professional. The bottom line is that without the appropriate success blueprint, the most skilled and knowledgeable personal trainer is usually doomed to failure. Unfortunately, until now, there has been no such battle-tested blueprint available either to the novice trainer or the professional struggling to stay alive. Now, however that''s all changed, thanks to Danny Kavadlo''s Everybody Needs Training. Follow the hard-earned wisdom within these pages and failure will no longer be an option. Danny Kavadlo''s training helped me to discover strengths I never knew I had, and I can take those lessons with me wherever I go, for the rest of my life. The wisdom and insight contained in Everybody Needs Training not only relates to being a successful fitness trainer, but can be applied for peace and success in many of life''s ventures. Danny is the best!-ELIZABETH GILBERT, #1 New York Times Best Selling Author, Eat, Pray, Love. One of TIME Magazine''s 100 Most Influential People in the World Everybody Needs Training is quite ''something.'' I don''t think I have ever seen this kind of depth in the field. It''s both obvious and ''wow'' as you read it. Amazing stuff. It fills a gap in the community that, frankly, surprises me no one has really filled.-DAN JOHN, author, Never Let Go Christmas wishes DO come true.Danny Kavadlo has written a training book! Imagine if you could squeeze all the hard-earned wisdom, secrets and tactics of one of the world''s hottest personal trainers between the covers of a beautifully illustrated tell-all manual, and you have imagined Everybody Needs Training. Like Danny himself, this groundbreaking book is incredibly smart, brutally honest, laugh-out-loud funny, and totally out of left fieldif you train others (casually or professionally), want a career training others, or if you just love the now-famous Kavadlo approach to getting in shape, you owe it to yourself to grab a copy of this masterpiece. I cannot recommend it highly enough.-PAUL WADE, author of Convict Conditioning Danny Kavadlo strikes the right tone: if you are built for it, personal training is one hell-of-a-satisfying career: do it right and you are literally transforming people''s bodies and lives. So if you think you''re built for it and considering jumping into the shark tank of personal training, Everybody Needs Training will be invaluable. And the tattooed Gonzo vibe is priceless.-MARTY GALLAGHER, author of The Purposeful Primitive, 3-time World Masters Powerlifting Champion Danny Kavadlo has personally helped me become a more successful trainer and coach. I cannot recommend Everybody Needs Training enough. It''s the best book I''ve ever seen on the subject of being a professional trainer.-ADEL GABER, World Class Trainer & 3-Time Olympic Wrestling Coach Everybody Needs Training is a must-read for every personal trainer wanting to take it to the next level, and everyone who has ever dreamed of becoming a personal trainer.

Download or read book Career As a Personal Trainer written by Institute for Career Research and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you think that earning a living from your love for exercise is a stretch? It's not. Careers in fitness are one of the fastest-growing segments of the US job market, and leading the way are personal trainers. In fact, the ranks of personal trainers have jumped by almost 50 percent over the last ten years, and there is no sign of this job growth slowing up any time soon. Young and old, men and women, people of all income levels are signing up for fitness classes and personal training sessions at an ever-increasing rate. With obesity being blamed for many of the health problems that people face today, thousands of people throughout the nation are determined to shed their extra weight. These people are turning to personal trainers to assist them in reaching that goal. Reality television shows like The Biggest Loser have proven that no matter how overweight people are, they can slim down and learn how to stay fit with the aid of a knowledgeable personal trainer. Those who are already in good physical shape and want to stay that way also pay personal trainers to fine tune their exercise routines and provide expertise on the latest fitness trends. Athletes, dancers, rock singers, actors, and others whose professional careers rely on being in shape, retain personal trainers to keep them in peak form. Corporations bring in personal trainers to help top executives stay at their physical best. Today, more than ever before, the emphasis is maintaining good health by exercising and eating properly, and personal trainers can provide valuable insights in both these areas. Fitness is a service industry. Every client is different, every client needs an individualized exercise program. Being a personal trainer is not a job that can be taken over by automation or outsourced to another country. This is work that needs to be done face to face, and your clients come to rely on your services. You become an important part of their weekly routine, and you tweak their fitness programs as they go through life. Outstanding personal trainers can keep their clients for many years. When your clients look and feel good, you are rewarded. The job takes discipline and dedication. Personal trainers have to stay focused and must keep their clients motivated. You are working with people one-on-one. You are in charge of their exercise regimens, and that makes being a personal trainer a results-oriented job. Whether they love to exercise or don't, your clients want to look in the mirror and be happy with what they see. If they aren't, they may not continue working out with you. Successful personal trainers don't let their clients slack off. That means pushing clients to reach new fitness goals during every workout session, even though there are going to be days they just don't want to exercise. Each time you take on a client, you are putting your reputation on the line. With every success, the demand for your services grows, along with increased earnings. This Careers Report contains a wealth of unbiased information about an occupational field, based on direct interviews with reliable experts. Careers Reports cover attractive and unattractive sides, opportunities, education necessary, personal qualifications required, earnings, descriptions of different job specialties, first person accounts by those in the field, and how to get started; including practical advice on what to do now.
