Highlights of Special Episode 42.5

"Program Design with Alwyn Cosgrove"

 

Alwyn Cosgrove, author of
"55 Fitness Business Strategies for Success"

 

I spoke to Alwyn about his upcoming program design workshop- Sept 25-26.

From Alwyn's blog:

In the past year, Results Fitness has been featured as one of America's top thirty gyms and been named by industry consultant Thomas Plummer as the most profitable gym in the USA per square foot.

As Anthony Robbins would say - this is not to impress you - but to impress upon you that we are doing things right. As I often say - I am just a kid from a small town in Scotland that did a few things right....

One of those things, and probably what we are known for, is our training programs.

In September of this year, for the first time ever, we'll be running a two-day, no-holds-barred, everything revealed program design seminar - pulling back the curtain to reveal everything we do at Results Fitness to design and implement the best programs on the planet.

We get better results in less time than any of our competition. And now we're sharing that...

Results Fitness Biz Program Design Seminar

When: September 25th and 26th

Where: Santa Clarita, CA

What will be covered?

• Learn the exact 18 steps of program design used by Results Fitness.
  
  
• Learn what MUST be included in every single workout with your clients to get results and how to plan to fit it all in - including warm up and movement prep, prehab, activation, core, power training, resistance resistance, energy system development, and soft tissue regeneration.
  
  
• Learn about loading, progression/regression, intensity, recovery, periodization and how to include all of these in you program design.
  
  
• Be able to design a 16 week periodized training program that works. EVERY time. Guaranteed.
  
  
• Learn to write programs for various populations including obese, athletic, groups, and injured.
  
  
• Be able to write a program that you can absolutely guarantee results, charge a separate fee for program design and improve your business as a personal trainer. Make yourself more valuable!
