Hey, it's Chris here, hope your boot camp or personal training business is KILLING IT right now… I got lot's of great stuff in this blog post for ya today… like…
1. I'm announcing the winners of the Market Annihilator 2.0 Contest
2. A short video that can literally double your fitness profits if you just put it into action… and it hardly takes any time at all
3. Lot's of other cool stuff
Ya know…. I LOVE this industry we're in
I took my bike into the Harley store yesterday to get some new ape hangers put on it ( those are my new apes on the right when I was pulling up at home from the Harley shop, my wife has no idea why I want bars that big, and when I tell her it's "cuz' it's friggin' BAD ASS" she just looks at me like I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about)
Well it turns out the kid Anthony who sold me my bike a while back is now a personal trainer building his own little part time business, and he's TOTALLY passionate about helping other people… he still works at Harley and he's training people on the weekends.
And then I got an email from a dude named Larry Lonis, a good friend of mine from like 10 years ago… but haven't heard from him since… Larry and me were full time bouncers together… we used to throw drunks outta bars together back in Lubbock Texas ( Larry's a BIG dude, 6'8" and 280 lean… plus he's got more black belts than I can count and competes at a professional level in martial arts all over the world)...
When me and Larry decided someone had to go from the bar… they WENT… we got into quite a few scraps together and had a helluva lot of fun… not a person in the world I'd rather have on my side then Larry when the shiznit went down…. I've seen Larry handle four dudes better than most guys handle one.
Here's Larry by the way… he always has that "Whadda you looking at?" expression on his face… but he's a helluva guy and loves helping people…
Anyhow, somehow he found this blog and contacted me… today he's actually running boot camps out in Dallas Texas… and just like Anthony… is pumped up about all the people he's helping
I love seeing so many GOOD people gettin' into the fitness training industry… it's BY FAR one of the coolest industry's in the world… and by has some of worlds coolest people in the world working at the heart of it.
Ok, enough about Larry and my new ape hangers… now for the other goodies…
Just in case you missed these, this week I put out what I feel are a few of my best posts of all time showing you how to get more clients
First… here's a post with some killer tips for getting your fitness training site to the top of Google: Getting a Fitness Website to the Top of Google
Next… here's a post to help you get a ton of clients with a blog: Fitness Blogging Secrets
And the next one, includes 41 of the best ways to get more clients: Best Ways to Get More Fitness Training Clients
So be sure to check those out… ok… onto the contest…
As you probably know Monday at 9am PST I'm opening the doors on Market Annihilator 2.0… the worlds most comprehensive internet marketing program for fitness professionals… and I just ran a contest where I was gonna pick two winners and actually give them free access to this $2k a year program…
Well lemme tell ya… deciding was TOUGH… there were 11 people I felt deserved to win… SO MANY GOOD SUBMISSIONS ( you can see them here )
I spent hours going through this stuff… checking out everyone's websites… making a big list of my favorite submissions… and damn… I was blown away.. to everyone who participated, I want to say from the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU for all your kind words
I actually felt pretty overwhelmed and called in my Mom, my assistant Del and my wife Sarah to all make lists of their favorites as well… ( and yes, that's Momz over there on the left ) … they each made a list of their favorite ten… and then I cross referenced the lists with my own… and a few names popped up on all four of our lists… still it was tough… I wish I could award everyone a prize… and that's the truth…
Here are the three winners of Market Annihilator 2.0 Contest and here's what they posted… ( I was gonna choose two like the contest post said, but I decided to award three… I hope that's ok)…

Hey Chris,
First, let me say thank you for all the great information and inspiration you post here. To be honest, I had no idea who you were until I found a link to this site via an article written by Zach Even-Esh titled "How to Be a Six-Figure Fitness Trainer WITHOUT Getting Your Head Kicked In."
I am a fire fighter/paramedic for the City of Houston, TX and work as a fitness instructor when I'm not at the station. I've been on the professional side for a little over 3yrs, but have an extensive history of over 10yrs in martial arts, fitness.
I have been working for a private gym for around two years training the owner's clients so that he could work on building the business. My boss liked having me around b/c I want your typical "trainer." I was more of an instructor or coach who really focuses on quality over quantity. I am also very old school using kettlebells, sandbags, fire hose, sledgehammers, etc, and the clients really enjoyed the experience.
Unfortunately, I haven't been asked to fill in at the gym in a good while due to "client drop offs." My boss stated that the new school year caused many clients to leave so he didn't need me as much. I told him that I wanted to help promote the gym and help get new, more committed clients, and he said he would take care of that, but not to give up on him. So I didn't, and I waited….and waited.
That's when I realized that HE fucking gave up on me! He used to tell me how much of an asset I was at the gym, he even used to beg me to quit the fire dept. so that I could manage his gym. He made it seem like the business would crumble if I needed to take a few days off due to working two 24 hr shifts a week plus close to 30 hrs a week training.
If I am such an asset, then why in the fuck am I not there helping people or trying to get more clients?
It was at that point when I read Coach Z' article and it ignited a flame inside me. Then, I came across this site and started absorbing as much info as I could.
I'm tired of living under someone else's roof and playing by their rules. From that, point on I decided that I was going to bust my ass building my own gym, training the clients that I want to train and that want to train with me. I even signed up for the RKC that day, which was something I had been wanting to do for a long time.
Every time that alarm goes off at the , I am plunged into the dark and depressing world of unhealthy life styles. By the time I get to the scene, I (along with my crew) am that person's last chance of survival. We do the best that we can, but that isn't enough for most. I always think; "If they would have just lost a bit of weight, eaten better, stopped smoking and drinking, maybe I wouldn't have to be sending 360 joules of electricity through their lifeless bodies."
I need to proactive instead of reactive. This is the reason I became a fitness instructor.
I want to keep people from falling into an early grave. I want to teach them how to develop strong minds as well as bodies. I want to help them love the skin they are in and not see ugliness every time they look into the mirror. Most of all I want to give them the best experience of their lives when they come to train.
I am very passionate about this. I haven't slept well in days because I've got a million ideas running through my head. I have already filled up a journal with notes and ideas. I will make it happen.
The only issue is that I've got as much business knowledge in my brain as I have hair on my head…I'm bald by the way. I'm not talking "Frasier Krane" bald, but "cue ball" bald. Bald!
I have zero clients right now, but anticipate a shit load once I get my program running. Before that happens, I need to educate myself and really plan it out. I will make mistakes, not doubt, and I will possibly piss off a few folks, but I could really give a rat's ass. I learn from the mistakes and realize that I can't please everyone.
Where does "Market Annihilator 2.0" fit in all this rambling? It will give me, a guy that doesn't know shit about marketing but has a passion to learn, a vital tool in helping me reach my goal of helping people change their lives for the better; teaching them how to really LIVE their lives.
Even if I don't win, I thank you for letting me spill my guts out here. It was really therapeutic for me. Thanks for all the help. You'll hear from me again very soon.

Hi Chris,
Receiving more clients from the internet with Market Annihilator 2.0 would be the perfect product because it would be the final number needed to open the combination lock to the door of opportunity and freedom.
This product would teach me how to attract the people who really need assistance and have stepped forward in hopes of finding the trainer who cares, can solve their problems, and give them what they want.(thanks Dale…)
Not only will Market Annihilator 2.0 help me, but it will help hundreds and hopefully someday thousands of people because it will allow me to tap further into the unlimited source of abundance. Allowing me the spread the wealth and love to everyone and anyone who will accept it.
It would also allow me to…
Teach more people
Employ more people
Give, give, give
Share my knowledge
Live in harmony
Provide more for others
Feel satisfied and accomplished
Give more of me away
Live the life of my dreams and create and attract my own reality
Continue good Karma
I just started my personal training business and boot camp less than two months ago and I have a burning desire to learn everything possible from you and implement all the products I can.
So far I have implemented everything you have been so generous to give me. I have studied day and night…wrote sales copy, after sales copy, after sales copy for my new site to be up hopefully today from Dana and the Guys!
Chris…I finally live in an "Attitude Of Gratitude" and want more for others than I want for myself. (it took a lot of practice… but with help from Dr. Wayne Dyer and many years, it has arrived)
One of my daily mantras is "How may I serve"
I feel that this career is my second chance…
I have been very fortunate to go through some serious life changing events. Just about a year and a half ago my wife and I filed for bankruptcy and lost everything(I take accountability for everything. After all, I made the business decisions).
I was an investor and as much as I thought I wasn't materialistic…Wow, was I wrong!
What started as the worst possible event ever, has turned out to be the best thing that has every happened to me!
With the help of my mentors (Dr Dyer, James Ray, Bob Proctor, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Dr. David Hawkins and now you, Bedros and Steve)I can say that I receive the most amount of satisfaction in life from giving to others without wanting anything in return.
During the bankruptcy my wife and I realized that everything we were giving up was just "stuff", and that what really mattered was how we felt and how we made OTHER PEOPLE FEEL.
As I write this Chris… I realize that I am living the life I deserve and I am very, very, very thankful for everything you have done to change my life for the better…without even knowing who I am… or that I exist for that matter!
There's a few things I do on a regular basis that was taught to me from my mentors that really keeps me in a state of gratitude and selfless service…
Maybe you'll want to try these out… it has done wonders for my life.
1. Every morning as soon as you wake up, ask yourself…"What am I grateful for today?" …list as many as you can. I aim for 10.
2.Next time your at a toll booth…
Pay the toll for the car or several cars behind you and instruct the toll booth operator tell those people you said to have a brighter day!
This simple act of kindness will change lives…
Has anyone every paid your toll???
Lastly, I am truly thankful for everything you have done for me already and I promise you…if I win the Market Annihilator 2.0, it will positively affect not just me, but anyone that I come in contact with.
My wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make my dreams a reality!
Your Friend,
Scott Chmiel

3. David Modderman ( David's a member of the ORIGINAL Market Annihilator Program who's membership will now be up-graded to lifetime status)
Hi Chris!
I already own the current Marketing Annihilator program. I have been a member since last November! I now currently get 90% of my clients from the internet. MA has been fantastic on getting me clients and leads since day one! I am not a computer savvy guy by any means and some of the information takes me a little more time for me to process than the average person I would assume. Last year I left the big Health Club chain to go out on my own without a lot of knowledge how to do it on my own. MA has made all the difference!
Here is just a few things that MA has helped me do:
1) Create a website that converts. Before MA I had no idea what I was doing I was just trying to create a pretty site that was like a business card that only talked about me and no benefits to my market. There is no one in my area that has my experience and testimonials and is marketing like I am. My site alone has changed my business completely!! Went from 4 paying clients to 15 in just a month from my high converting site alone.
2) Developed my niche and Market and say goodbye to training everyone!
3) Create and start a bootcamp by offering free bootcamp classes to others for referrals. Went from 2 members to 12 members in a month.
4) Dominate Craigslist my learning how to create killer ads that no one else is doing in my area. Learning how and where to post them to get the best leads and responses.
5) Got me delegating and outsourcing and bartering more getting others writing articles for me and posting them to increase my rank in higher google.
6) I am now on Google on the first page 4 times (local, organic etc) for my keys words. Not to mention I am paying half I was on Google Adwords now and converting more people!!
7) Just getting a chance to talk to you on the phone a few times Chris has been extremely helpful on taking the next step and getting moving! Not to mention your email coaching!!
I still have a long way to go until I'm satisfied but I am plugging along everyday and trying to follow everything you give out.
I know I am leaving a bunch of stuff out. But getting a chance to win a lifetime membership of Marketing Annihilator would blow my mind!
Being busy with my business and a little slow processing this information sometimes I feel I need to get it all done at once. Money has been tight as of late because of some personal things that came up unexpectedly. Having a lifetime membership would definitely be great!
But plan on continuing on with MA anyways! Chris thanks for creating MA and sharing your secrets with me. Thank for you for showing me things I would have never learned on my own. And lastly thank you for the opportunity to win a lifetime membership to this Program!
Your Fellow 6 foot 6'er!

Congrats fellas. Chris, that was real cool of you to not only give out 3 free programs but to announce the winner and give them some shine.
Way to go gentlemen!! Soak up that info like a sponge and take massive action! Can't wait to hear how you blow it up. Good luck!!
Hey,
Congratulations guys! I wish you the best of luck! Keep us informed on how it goes. And to Chris and the Kick back life crew…
Thanks for such an awesome opportunity. Keep on doing what you are doing!
Hey Chris,
Thanks so much for the shout out. Guys I will tell you, if you haven't had the experience of working with Chris firsthand, or meeting him, then you have missed out. Chris has always been one who is 130% into whatever he is doing. It doesn't matter if it is "throwing drunks outta bars" like our old school days (HA HA HAAA!) or making sure someone knows without a shadow of a doubt what they need to, to be successful at EVERYTHING they are involved with. I always knew if I ever needed to count on someone who would give the correct answer firsthand, I could always count on Chris. If he didn't know the answer 100% (which was rare) he would go find out and then come back and tell you the upfront facts about whatever he found. If you are involved in his training here or elsewhere, realize you have made one of the best decisions of your life.
Coach Clay,

Hey Guys,
Congratulations you lucky beeswhackers! But seriously, good job. Interestingly, when I re-read your posts now, I can see why you guys won. You guys were writing more about wanting to help people, whereas I and a lot of other people were focusing more on what we were having problems with in building our businesses.
So good for you guys in putting what's most important first. I think many of us feel that way but get stuck up all the online stuff. But for you guys in writing your post you were able to see past that and deliver a message about what's most important to you, and that is to help others.
Chris must've seen that too! Chris is good stuff!
Cheers to all!
Shane
Although I feel extremely defeated in expectation of hope, I want to congratulate those that are the winners. If I feel as I do, you must really feel on top of the world. So, I give praise for God's blessing on you for ever increasing prosperity and happiness. Much luv to ya Doug, Scott and David. ~ Allura
Congrats guys! MA is going to give you the tools and I wish you the best as you put them to use. Hope you guys have a prosperous rest of the year!

Congrats to the winners! I'm definitely looking forward to MA 2.0- I'm finding new information everyday that I check out the site. EFT has been working great for me as well! It's so much easier and once people see the value of training, they barely notice when they spend the money each month.
I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner, but thank you for awarding me w/ MA 2.0. It must have been very hard to choose b/c there were definitely a lot of great comments ( some even better than mine, in my opinion. Hope every one is kick'n ass and living life to the fullest.
