Jim Labadie's Ultimate Boot Camp? - JP Fitness Forums

Adam Steer · 10-15-2007, 10:56 AM

Hi,

Has anyone purchased Jim Labadie's Ultimate Boot Camp product? (Volume 1 or 2)

If so, has it been beneficial?

Cheers,
Adam

It's exactly what I used to transition from 1-on-1 to group training. It has everything you need to get in the door and start-up. The rest is then up to you, but this product effectively teaches you how to get in the door to making incredible profits, helping a higher volume of people, and earning financial freedom. You will earn a greater return to your investment in just one $200/hour corporate training session. Since getting this product 8 months ago I went from being at the poverty level to making 6 figures.

still not convinced? well then you'll be missing out on the wave of the future if you do not have a corporate health and wellness program as 1-0n-1 training will be dead in 5 years.

Hope this helps!

Wow, what a commercial!

I'm glad it worked for you. Good to hear there are such worthwhile products out there.

My thoughts exactly! Reminds me of the discussion a few sub-forums up.

I am listening to it literally as I type this. So far, it sounds like it is exactly as biggadour says... They lay it out. It's up to you whether or not you apply it. The timing is apropos since I am starting up my own bootcamps.

Adam Steer · 10-16-2007, 02:09 PM

I just ordered mine. Thanks for the input.

Cheers,
Adam

I just checked out your web site. You probably know a lot of what you're going to hear based on what I read, but it's not the stuff you already know that you need, and this should fill in those gaps nicely. There is also a handy checklist that had a crapload of stuff that I hadn't thought of yet (and I've been doing bootcamps already).

Thanks for checking out my site JP. It is a work in progress! I am learning a lot about what NOT to do in the "Fitness Marketing Methods" thread...

Thanks for providing this great resource JP. Glad I decided to de-lurk.

What does anyone else have to say about this product. Would it give me info on running one during the winter months outdoors? is it worth the purchase? honestly.

Thanks

I liked it and found it very helpful. That being said, my only issue is that I prefer stuff to be in written form as I don't have time to sit down and listen to a recording. It is a LOT of information, filling about 4 CDs. It was tedious for me to sit through all that. Not Jim's fault... Just my ADD!

I don't even remember what I paid for it at this point, but considering how much I can make in an hour with a full boot camp, it certainly pays for itself. Just do a search on Jim Labadie and boot camp, and you should turn up the link. That will tell you how much it costs.

I have taken things a step further for my current facility and future facilities... I have created training and nutrition logs with some really cool features (don't want to give away all my trade secrets), and created a binder for the trainer to step them through the entire process, making things as "dummy-proof" as possible. Much of the info I got from Jim's product. Other stuff I got from a friend who owns a facility in Nashville (Go Fitness and Performance) that is really successful. The glue was cool stuff I learned from Dave Schmitz on Jump-stretch bands, and Pavel's hilarious but informative DVD on KB training.

Now all my trainer has to do is go through a 1-hour orientation with me where I go through the binder and explain the steps, and they can start filling up their own boot camps (making more money for my facility). Unfortunately, my product is not for sale as it was developed strictly for my personal staff.

Bottom line, get the product. You will get in what you put out, so don't expect it to solve every issue. This isn't a "if you build it they will come" scenario. You need to pump it up and get people infected with your passion and enthusiasm for it. None of this stuff works with trainers who don't have some personality.

If you are a decent trainer you should find this will really help boost your income. Think of it this way... If you have 6 people paying $300 each (what mine average), and you only want to work 4 hours a day 3 days a week, that's $7200 per month in revenues out of ONE TRAINER. It's easy and it's a lot more fun for me as a trainer as one-on-one (been doing this for 20 years... Have to find new stuff to keep me from getting bored!), and it pays really well.

I'm a big fan of the boot camps from a revenue point of view, and the clients really like it.

I'm in the process of planning some sport conditioning/agility camps for the next year looking for the high school and college markets. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

Edit: I forgot this thread was on Jim Labadie's product! I picked it up after reading this thread, actually. I *think* I paid $47 for it, but that could be wrong. Either way, it does what it's supposed to do as far as information goes. I, like JP, would have preferred a written product, but that's just how I like things. There's nothing earth-shattering in the discs, but it's great information and it saves you from reinventing the wheel. Bottom line, you get out what you put in, just like everything else.

Thanks guys for your insight. Im wondering does Labadie's product go into detail on what types of exercises to use and how to get approval with the city etc for outdoors?

Also, I saw another product on bootcamps that Im wondering if you all have heard of... FitForce Camp

Lastly, any suggestions for running winter bootcamps in cities like Boston?

Best,

Jackson

Those topics are discussed. There's actually more exercise detail than I would have liked, but that's probably an experience thing.

I've not seen the FitForce Camp.

I'm from Maine (previous to my current location), so I know what the winter is like. I'd honestly try to find an indoor spot to rent. It's going to be hard to deal with stormy mornings up there.

A non-issue for me since I own a gym, and I only do one workout a week outdoors. Add to that, Arkansas has very mild winters. I would find a gym that will let you use their facility (maybe a Y wouldn't charge you much).
