Hey there, I hope you’re doin’ awesome.. . I’ve got some fun stuff to go over real quick and I think you’re really gonna enjoy it …  definitely check out the two videos

I just got done working out… been doin’ more MMA stuff recently and less powerbuilding type stuff… feels good.

Alright, first off…

I want to thank all the people who’ve been sending me the cool pics, thank you, thank you, thank you.. I added a bunch of the pics to this post, got more coming.

You may have heard I’m putting together a small group mastermind of some of the industry’s coolest entrepreneurs.

So far the group includes myself and… John Spencer Ellis .. Shawn Phillips …. Jason Ferruggia … Emile Jarreau … 7-Figure Sam …  Zach Hunt … and … Sako Yakinian

In a few days the group will officially open.. we’ll be meeting some place cool ( I’m thinking Vegas ) throughout the year to help make each others businesses as successful as possible…. if you’re familiar the late great Napoleon Hill’s philosophy on masterminding, you probably have no doubt they can be a POWERFUL tool for change

AND they can be a blast.

The ultimate mix of business, friendship and pleasure… when done right at least.

There is an application process to enter and people are accepted based on level of current business success, your goals, value, vision, purpose, what you hope to add to the group and your overall business outlook and philosophy… big hearts a must.

Foxy Bad-Ass Jen Watson

So be sure to keep an eye on your inbox for an application if you’re on my email list.

I also hope you’ve been enjoying all the client-getting and business-building blog posts and videos and gifts I’ve been sending over to you… and here’s a few for you in case you missed em’

Ok, so onward…

One of my favorite things in the world to do is to go to the bookstore and just kinda look around.. in-fact

I just had a blast getting some new books from the book store… LOVE the bookstore ( and Amazon of course ) … here’s what I just picked up…

NPC Nationals Figure Competitor Jessica Jordan

Now… for about 2/3 of the books I’ll have my assistant go through them ( she’s a MUCH faster reader than I am anbyways), make an outline as she goes, and then explain it all to me… I can get through a whole book in about 30 minutes this way… works for me.

Business should be at least 80% fun or I won’t do it … sure sometimes in business you gotta do some stuff you don’t love… but if you’re inline with your purpose and values… then you probably enjoy most of your work day and would do it anyway.

If something isn’t fun, it’s really hard to stick with it for long and bring passion and focus to it

I have a few friends who do REALLY well making their businesses fun.

Speaking of fun, up and to the right is fellow fitness trainer and NPC National Figure Competitor Jessica Jordan , always willing to represent for The KBL

Ok, so… examples of fun…

One of my good buds Will Robertson does all kinds of stuff to make his MMA training business Wardance fun fun fun…. ( He does MMA, studio, personal training and boot camps and is my main MMA coach)

For example…

At his gym he has a cock named Brock that all his client pose with and it goes on Brock’s Facebook Page

(Similar to what the supercool Jaiya does here to make HIS workouts fun .. keep in mind though, these guys style is NOT for everyone )

This is Brock…

All Will's Client Love Brock the Cock

This is how the dude rolls and because of it his clients LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE him… I mean they LOVE the dude and love his workouts WAY more than 95% of the trainee’s out there in your typical boring training environment. ( I’m not saying you should Rock out with Your Brock Out or anything like that.. I’m just pointing to the fact that the most fun trainers are usually the most successful.)

Now, at one point in life Will was having a rough time and Brock came down and pulled him outta the dumps..

Hope you enjoyed the vid and the gifts, and remember, if you’re interested in applying for the mastermind I’m opening, just keep you’re eye on your inbox

And here’s what I wanna leave you with, a little video about marketing that really got to me… when done with heart… THIS is what marketing can do… enjoy (= ……

And thanks again so much for all the cool pics we’ve been receiving… my little Emma and Abby even wanted to partake

… alright, I have quick and important heads-up for you…

I’m starting a mastermind of the coolest of the cool, down to earth, good-hearted, butt kicking fitness entrepreneurs and already have some of the worlds top fitness guru’s and marketers in it

It’s by invite only and application only…

It is for Fitness Pros who are committed to having the absolute best fitness business possible ( be it training, blogging, gym, boot camp, info-products or fitness affiliate marketing )…

Regardless of online or offline or products or services or all the above…

You MUST in the fitness industry to join, no exceptions.

You must work for yourself

You must earn a over $75K a year

You must be a cool person ( meaning good )

Love helping others

Like having fun… in fact most of the meetings will probably happen in Vegas (; You’re a value adder and not a value extractor… meaning you like to add value to the world and not just take from it… you provide a TON of value to the world and it continues to pay you back accordingly… ( and if you’re adding a ton of value growing, check you marketing and sales systems )

This group is called the B.M.F. Mastermind Group

There will be an investment to join this group of high-level, forward-thinking fitness entrepreneurs and renegades

I feel this group represents the brightest stars of our community

Part business, part friendship, and a total blast the entire time.

If you’re interested in being part of this group, keep an eye out for your email invite, cuz there really isn’t much empty space and if I’m suspecting correctly it will sell out FAST.

( It’s on a first come first serve basis btw )

Now, while people are already trying to pay me to reserve their spot in the group, but with the exception of a few high-level guys I already , I can’t take any money for this at this time

And it’s not something you can just purchase online… I need to go through everyone’s applications first to choose who’ll be a good fit

So … if you think you’ll be a good fit for the group, then do NOT miss the email that’ll be coming on your soon

And in the meantime, if you enjoy marketing, and haven’t seen this movie yet… SEE IT:

Talk soon,

Big Chris

My buddy Emile uses what he calls “Femme Fatale” for building his fitness business… here’s part one in a series where he’ll be breaking it down for you… more to come soon… I guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like this…

Fitness Business Strategies Guest Post By Zach Hunt

Hey there, it’s Zach Hunt… I’m super pumped, getting ready to do a workout and wanted to share this with you about how we motivate training clients at our studio.

Before I do, I wanna let you know a few super quick things people have been asking about and this will only take two sentences…

The 6 Week Launching Pad Program and The 65% Sale on Fitness Blogging Profits will still be open for a few more days.

And if you’d like to hear a story about a fitness trainer who has had a profound impact on the way I look at life… then read this post here

Ok, now for the free tips, tricks, tactics and strategies for building your training business…

Keeping clients motivated is pretty important. Not only is it helpful for retention, but it also helps spur on referrals, good results, and well just all sorts of good things happen from it.

The last thing you want is someone coming into your studio for 1 or 2 days and then quitting on their trial or initial offer cause they just weren’t motivated to change, or even if they were coming for 1-2 months and then had a birthday party binge and didn’t come in at all for a week…

Do you have systems in place to make sure they keep coming and stay motivated? (more…)

A Fitness Marketing and Business Video Post from Big Chris

Check out how fitness trainers James went from zero clients to making $20K a month in just a few months… I saw James do this back when I was trainer myself and it is the fastest I have EVER seen a lone trainer explode a local based group training business… and anyone can do this… I saw James go from driving a beat ass little truck to a brand new black Dodge Viper…

The other day I had James up to my home office so he can explain to you how he did it…

Would love to hear your comments below

And I just released a ’6 Week Fast Start Program’ where I help PERSONALLY help fitness pros get a lot of clients fast…  I’m *planning* on keeping the opportunity open for only a very short time. It’s low cost and I work with you personally for 6 Weeks to not only get you a whole bunch of new clients, new business and new money… but ALSO get you on pace for your long term business goals

And if you’d like me help getting started with other areas in the fitness industry, like info-marketing, affiliate marketing or blogging… or like many of the fitness experts I work with use it to blow up your training business, studio or boot camp.

This is the most affordable way to get my personal help with your business… it can get you a lot of business fast and you and I can get started right away on the following page.

Click Here To See ‘Launching Pad – The 6 Week Fast Start Consulting Program’ for Fitness Professionals

This program isn’t for everyone, it’s about action, not feeling good cuz you joined some program, which is what happens to a lot of “non-action taker” type of personbalities… now while I don’t believe there’s a magic bullet to success… this program is about as close as you’ll get

However, if YOU ARE an action taker, and are committed to the success of yuour business and REFUSE to be like the majority of the fitness industry who are living month to month then this program is for you…

A Fitness Marketing Post by Chris McCombs

Hey there, it’s Big Chris… hope you’re doin’ great

I need your help with something, and if you’re a good fit for it and it works out I’ll hook you up with a super cool gift

Right now I have a ton of projects goin on… and I mean a TON

I took my focus off my biz for bit… just took some time off and focused on my own training and a pretty much just took it easy

I busted out some emails, products and blog posts… but nothing too intense… besides the training it was definitely down time and I loved it

But I’m back now … you I’m very cyclic… times of intense work and times of intense chillin’… while some months having a good balanced schedule in between the extrememes

So now I’m on the front end of a heavily focused period of creation … creating as much value as possible for my readers, subscribers, followers, customers and clients as possible… with multiple new projects running side by side simultaneously

Now all this requires a ton of content creation, and I mean a TON.. newsletter content, blog content, product content, video content, members area content and that kind of stuff… it’s just part of the job description…but here’s the thing, the content has to be GOOD

Ideally it should entertain people… even giving them a few laughs, WHILE at the same time giving them useful information they can apply to their fitness training business or life to make more money and to have more fun and more freedom.

Well, here’s the thing…

Hey I’m, David Peterson, one of Chris’s private coaching clients, from back when he was still taking us on ( glad I got in when I did … I know Chris isn’t taking on private coaching clients anymore, but I’m pretty sure his ninja sidekick Zach Hunt is… here’s the page for that: Just click here to see it )

As fitness professionals and business owners we are always looking for the most efficient way to spend our time and updating Facebook statuses just doesn’t bring in the dough and being busy is never as fun as being productive (know the difference).

Anyway… I’ve got a great way for you to spend the next few minutes of your day and it brought me about 10k last year and should be at least double that this year.

And the best part…  it will literally take you about 5 minutes to get going and I already did most of the work for you.

One of the best things you can do to build a good reputation around town and build some good karma is to donate services.

Ok, you probably know that… but stick with me here…

Where my business is located there are quite a few private schools and lots of them run spring fund raisers.

I sent out a simple email that got me into three different fund raisers; this also works great for charity auctions and can be used throughout the year and especially around the holidays.

Now of course this works best for bootcamps and semi-private groups since you don’t have to give up too much of your time, but it can also be done on a smaller level for private training.  I will show you an example that I have done for each.

Hey there, it’s Big Chris and welcome back to Planet Kick Back, where serious fitness entrepreneurs come to learn the best marketing strategies around and have a little bit of fun in the process.

I love kicking back writing these blog posts for you… it’s a very rewarding thing for me plus it allows me to give away a lot of good content, strategies and tips that a lot of fitness pros wouldn’t otherwise know about

( Actually I AM kicking back in recliner while writing this, but in the picture I took for the post off to the right I’m all posed out and intense… that picture is how would you say?… a work of fiction?…  if you could see me now it would actually look very different … in fact you couldn’t even tell if I was awake or asleep with the exception of the clicks on the keybooard … if you’d like to learn all my “blog and make money while your awake, sleeping or in-between” strategies, then just click here to get them … oh, and this picture below is a little closer to what I look like as I write this for you )

In this post I wanna tell you about a few great business and marketing books that may seem a little… well… not typical and not something you’d usually hear about in the “fitness trainer makes a shitload of money” capacity.

Now before I get into this awesome list of books… check out this quick little story… and it’s a lot closer to the way I often work then the posed out pic of me above where I look like I’m ready to kick some ass, make some money and take on the world… I do get all jacked outta my mind when I lift, but not when I work most of the time, and mine tolerance to caffeine is up there in the near record breaking percentile

Ok, so check it out…

A Fitness Marketing and Business Post by Big Chris

Hey there, hope you’re doin’ great

I just got back from a weekend of partying and talking marketing at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas, where I met with a smalk group of fitness professionals in high and mid-level coaching and mentoring programs of mine from all over the world … Australia, Newfoundland, Ireland, Canada and the UK… and of course all over the states.

It’s always a blast to be around so many six and seven figure fitness pros at one time… crazy success minded renegades who like to help other people look and feel better my making the person do a bunch of stuff they usually don’t  wanna do

I’m a HUGE fan of masterminds, workshops, seminars and basically learning and networking… I plan on attending as well as hosting things like this for years to come.

Sometimes it’s hard to make time to consume everything that’s in a book or a course, but when you’re locked in a room with nothing to do but absorb all that information then do something with it… like applying it to your business that’s just sitting there, ready to have all this cool marketing stuff applied to it so it can blow up and make your happy ass a buncha money WHILE you get to help a whole buncha other people get into shape and lead happier and healthier lives and probably even live longer as well.

You also getta throw ideas back and forth with other success minded fitness pro’s, which can be paramount to success, I know it has been with mine at least as well as just about every other self made successful entrepreneur I know

Plus, in masterminds and everything from small workshops to large events you get to make friends with others who have similar interests and values as yourself

And a lot of times cool stuff happens at these things… like this weekend the legendary marketer Frank Kern crashed my meeting and pretty much accused me in front of the better part 30 thirty fitness trainers of stealing a giant bag of reefer from him…
