Its retarded but Im sure shes making good coin off of it.

You are correct that the MDNA might not be useful for your stay-at-home moms, but it will be extremely effective at getting any athletes' business.

That would be sweet. There used to be a company that fizzled but they were somehow able to penetrate a lot of highschools and train the athletes. Theyd rape their own trainers and stuff but they still got a lot of traffic. 99% of all of their trainers are retarded but they are definitely getting the athletes. If the MDNA advertises, Id definitely love to train athletic teams. Ive done that effectively on a 1-1 basis.

This company is going to be hiring about 100 new techs that they will send out all over the country to work with pro teams (all sports). The techs have to be really sharp, and a level above the trainers for whom they provide these services. You might inquire about going through the training and possibly getting a job with us.

Id be interested. I filled a form that Zig linked in one of his threads. I cant swing a golf club all that well but I can definitely see deficiencies in hip mobility, flexibility, etc. I may not play the game but I can see that just from movement standpoint that something doesnt seem right.

I cant throw a baseball for shit, but I can still see how kids have weak posterior chains, shoulder imbalances, etc. simply by observing posture. Once you fix that, they start improving without me having to do any sport specific work (which their school overemphasizes anyway).

Re: chamber events... Don't let the Gold's guys or ANYONE intimidate you. Walk in there like you own the fucking place! Honestly, with what you know, walk in with that look in your eye that says, "I know kung fu!" People will be intrigued. The chamber dues will pay for themselves many times over. Most of their leads groups will only have one person representing each industry, so find one that doesn't have a fitness guy in it and offer to help fill that need. Your group will be the first group you get to recruit. Put together a 20 minute powerpoint on fitness (like something about why oly-lifts or functional moves) and present it to them or any other group that will take you. At the end hand out sign up sheet for your bootcamps and you will have enough people to fill several bootcamps.

I suppose my perceived weakness is that Im not a business, Im one freelance guy. Yeah I know more than their trainers, but Im not GqFitness LLC, Im just me. I think I would have to actually set up some sort of established venture before going to the Chamber meetings no? Thats a tax and legal world that I have no idea about.
