Are You Training Enough or Too Much?

How do you know if you are training enough?

As time goes on you will get to "know your body" and when you need to push and when to back off.

The truth is this...

Let's say 3 rounds of a circuit gives you 100% results.

With intense exercise, the greatest benefits are from the first round of a superset or circuit.

If you just did 1 round with right intensity, you'd probably get 60% (or more of the benefits).

A 2nd round bumps you up to 80% (or more) of the benefits you get from 3 rounds.

A 4th round might not give you any more results (i.e. in strength or metabolic boost), BUT it does put us at risk of injury. So it should be avoided.

I'm not saying never do 4 rounds. But...

...there is certainly a LAW of diminishing returns with more training, no matter if it is more cardio or more MRT.

Don't be afraid to take a day off.

And never forget how important diet is for fat loss.

PS - Try this...

The fastest and easiest way to make your life better is to help make someone else's life better. You cannot out-give the universe. You can try, but you'll always fail. And that's the greatest failure you'll ever experience.

PPS - I'm overwhelmed...here's why:

I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Twice this week people contacted the ETR support team to say that our articles and contest contributed (albeit in a minor way) to their decision to get out of a bad situation and to not commit suicide. I don't even know what to say. I never imagined that our content and contest would have such an impact.

I think the big lesson in this:

Live by Example.

Do great things. Show the world that there are indeed POSITIVE people out there...that you care...that SOMEONE cares...that there is hope...that if you persist and never give up on what is important to you, that you CAN make progress...that there will be better days...that after the darkness there comes a dawn. If you do all of this, and open your heart and care for others and even support perfect strangers, your world will open up to enormous opportunity and gratitude.

You can't change all that is wrong in this great big world, but YOU can have an impact, even if it is just a tiny, positive impact on a stranger that receives a smile from you on the street today. There's so much we can do for others, and in the end, what we do for others ends up benefiting us 10-fold. So let's do this. Let's make our little worlds amazing today.

Who knows what impact you might have! Imagine the possibilities, for they are enormous!

Have an amazing day. - Craig

PS - TT for C-B-S Abs is now available as the April 2013 Workout 






at www.TTmembers.com

It's all about "SCS - Stretch Contract Stability" for ripped abs and a strong core.

Squat Workout and Videos

Today we are going to focus on the core basics for getting stronger and the core values at TT.

My workout: Squats, box jumps, lunges, pullups, leg curls.

Don't forget, there plenty of great videos on my youtube channel here

– http://www.Youtube.com/cbathletics

347 videos for you!

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Focus on replacing your bad habits and thought patterns, one-by-one, over time, with good habits and thought patterns. One step at a time, done over time, leads to powerful changes in your life.

It's been a while since I've listed all of our core values.  Here they are again:

There are six Turbulence Training core values.

1) Change people's lives.

Help them get better and to help them reach their peak potential. Our number one priority is to help people improve their lives.

2) Science Based Innovation

We don't follow fads. We help people with what works - as proven by science and experience.

3) Customer Service, Customer Service, Customer Service

This is our team's mission. Every communication focuses on improving the customer experience. We have always had great customer service and always will because it helps people implement our proven products and they get more results. And that is why it’s so important, is because it ends up impacting so many more people and moving us towards the TEN million mission.

4) Always be Learning and Improving

You’re not just satisfied with what you know now. You’re always improving.

5) Politically Incorrect, No B.S. Information

We deliver the truth, even if it’s politically incorrect. We don’t care about the latest fads.  All that we care about are the results of our clients.

6) Never, ever, ever, EVER give up.

Never give up on getting better, and never give up on helping our clients. Everybody’s going to have some struggles, but we’re going to be there helping them.

Those are our six core values that are going to lead us to our 10 Million Transformation Mission.

Thanks to living these core values, each week we are getting more and more amazing success stories. And soon we'll have results of the 16th Turbulence Training Transformation Contest. Here's this week's coolest feedback:

"I'm not even sure how I stumbled across you're name or turbulence training, but I'm glad I did. Between all the emails I receive on personal development ect, and the workouts I have purchased and started implementing I have gained some good steps towards my fitness goals. I've been working out consistently for a little over two months, and I love the new style the switch ups I'm learning correct form, focusing on quality over quantity. My understanding of my over all health has improved. So more or less turbulence training is what I will be doing for a long time to come! I love what you have done with it and I can't wait for more!" – Jack Rohbuck

Till next week,

PS - What's Bally the Dog up to?

Ol' Bally the Dog is happy to be out on the farm with Grandma. He'll be hanging around out there a lot due to my travel schedule.

Fortunately, he loves it there.

But Grandma doesn't like him tracking in all of the mud...too bad for her, because it's only going to get worse.

Will he stay out of trouble? We shall see...

Why I bought a bootcamp

Last month I bought a Fit Body Bootcamp location for here
in Toronto. I'm stoked. I'll be partnering up with Ray Ortiz,

a Certified Turbulence Trainer. We plan on having multiple 

locations in just a few years

 

Why would I do this?

 

Why would "Mr. Fitness Internet" get back into bootcamps?

 

Easy.

 

Because you can never have enough freedom, lifestyle, and passion.

And that's what Fit Body Bootcamp delivers.

 

Fit Body Bootcamp ensures another revenue stream, and also helps me
get a GIANT step closer to transforming the lives of 10 Million people.

 

I'm going ALL IN with FBBC.

 

If you're interested in more freedom, a better lifestyle, and changing

the world with passion, then watch this video.

Watch this video to build a real fitness business and get more freedom

It answers all of the questions you might have about building a REAL

ground because you're working day and night.

 

Listen, I'm involved in a lot of projects, from Turbulence Training to
Early to Rise to the Mastermind I run with Bedros and of course, the

Turbulence Training Certification...

 

...but there's something special about being involved with FBBC. It's

the opportunity to change my community, to have a "3rd place" (aside

Minimalist Workout and Shake

It was a minimalist meathead Monday today. After yesterday’s beatdown by deadlifts and presses, today I’m just doing an easy bodyweight circuit for mobility.

By the way, if you’re really into the barefoot running stuff, here’s a study for you to check out:

"Minimalist shoe" running not the same as barefoot running
- http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/47/6/387.abstract?etoc

And finally, two shakes today. One was Minimalist. The other, MONSTROUS. Guess which one I preferred?

Shake
Today's SuperGreener blender drink to start the day:
- 8oz water
- Athletic Greens
- BioTrust vanilla cream protein
- 2 handfuls frozen spinach
- 1/2 cup broccoli

Followed by the chocolate peanut butter monster after training:
- 8oz water
- BioTrust milk chocolate protein
- 1 banana
- 1 giant scoop of peanut butter

Share your goals with the RIGHT people - the ones who will encourage you, 
motivate you, and connect you with others who will move you forward towards 
your goals and dreams. And constantly take action - one step (baby or giant, doesn't matter) every day closer to your goals and dreams.

And finally, I wasn't "Minimalist" when I was on Amazon yesterday. Amazon wins again, 6-0. Books ordered today: Triumphs of Experience, Wherever You Go There You Are, Power of Habit, Found Money, The Wisdom of No Escape, and Comfortable with Uncertainty.

Personal Training Video

Ok, do not watch this video if you have a full bladder or if you
are drinking a glass of milk. It will shoot out of your nose.

 

Hilarity ensues.

 

My best Armenian buddy, Bedros Keuilian, just sent me this video

where he teaches you five brilliant ways to get new clients. But again,
because it's so funny, you'll need to watch it twice to get all the info.

Here's the link to the new video (watch it before Monday)

You'll also get a tour of Bedros' private office, and that's where things
take a Hangover-style turn for the worse...and get super funny.

 

But more important, you'll learn those 5 magic methods for getting
more clients into your fitness business.

Deadlifting and Earning It

My 3rd favorite movie quote of all time (and great business/life advice) is from the epic, Saving Private Ryan.

You'll remember the end of the movie, as Captain John Miller (played by Tom Hanks) says to Private Ryan (played by Matt Damon) a short, simple line that epitomizes the action we have to take in life. It's only fair, considering the sacrifice that was made for us.

"Earn it", were the words spoken by Miller.

Are you Earning It today?

Forget yesterday (but learn from it)...today is another day...another chance to make changes and big improvements. let's go.

Make your plan. Stick to it. Don't let others guilt you into a bad decision. Stay strong, and never, ever, ever give up on what is important to you.

My training today will be:
Hang Cleans
Deadlifts
Good Mornings
Bulgarian Split Squats
Pullups

Fast Success Can Be Yours

You've proven you can succeed in life, whether it is in your career, health, relationships, or wisdom. Success in every other area of life is no different.

Just get the Four Pillars of Success in place:

- Social Support
- Accountability
- An incentive
- Deadlines

Your success is within reach.

Let's go!

Here's a fantastic quick workout for you that will energize you in just a few minutes so that you can get on with your busy day. It's another classic 12-minute workout for you using the www.HomeWorkoutRevolution.com System.

You have 2 minutes to do 35 bodyweight squats + 20 pushups

... and then you get to rest for the remainder of 2 minutes (should take about 75 seconds).

Do 6 rounds.

To make it easier, give yourself 3 minute rounds or do kneeling pushups.

BONUS Add-ons after the 12-minute workout:
a) 3 minutes of pullups or TRX rows
and
b) 4 rounds of KB swings supersetted with Power Wheel Rollouts.

Do your mobility before and stretching after as needed. Good times.

Get Ripped Diet

The other week I had an exercise video shoot and  I wanted to "carve up" my abs a little more. So to drop 1-2% belly fat in the fastest time possible, I switched to this meal plan. This shows you EXACTLY what to eat for rapid fat loss, meal-by-meal:

==> The Entire ONE Day Diet (here's exactly what to eat)

It's the PERFECT way to start your week. 

 

This is Politically Incorrect (because no 'dietician' likes FAST results), but research shows that when subjects lose fat fast they tend to stick with the program longer - because they actually see results! (Pretty obvious, right?)

 

That's why this plan works so well.

 

In this ultra-simple ONE Day Diet meal plan, you'll learn exactly what
inexpensive flat-belly foods to eat, meal-by-meal, to get you the fast,
sustainable, visually amazing results that you deserve...

And best of all, you'll get the full step-by-step, meal-by-meal, details at this link, right now, 100% FREE:

Lots of great info to get you ripped on the way.

Your Next Year as a Trainer

This is one of my favorite quotes because it is the
cold, hard TRUTH:

 

"You are responsible for exactly who, what, and where you are in
life. That will be just as true this time next year. Situations
aren’t important. How you react to them is." - Kekich Credo #58

 

Where will you be in your personal training business next year?

 

What will you accomplish in the next 365 days?

 

Will it be the same old, same old, daily grind, more frustration and
less free time?

 

Or will it be a year of abundance?

 

If you are happy with the way things are, AWESOME. Keep it up.

 

But if you want things to change, let the experts show you how.

 

Here's what you'll learn from Gurus of Fitness Business Success:

• Bedros Keuilian - How to get you more clients quickly and easily
• Martin Rooney - Ultra-effective training techniques for rapid results
• Mike Whitfield - How he went from $0 to $100,000 in under a year
• Adam Bornstein - The fastest way to become your town's Famous Fitness Expert

And you might even get a few tips from ol' CB on how to transform your life,

create better workouts, run better bootcamps, and live the life of your dreams!

 

That's what you'll get at the Turbulence Training Summit this June (21-22) 

in beautiful San Diego. 

 

Reserve your seat at www.TTSummit.com

 

By registering as an Early Bird (Before Friday), you'll get the lower Summit

investment and you'll be added to our VIP list for the Friday night reception.

 

And then we'll show you how to have your best year ever!

 

Here's what Catherine Gordon, one of our 2012 attendees was able to do
by acting on just a FRACTION of what she learned last year:

 "This time last year, I was teaching 3 small classes a week. This week we're
doubling our floor space to accommodate the rush of new students we're
getting. I think I've followed a tenth of the marketing advice I've learned
at the summit, but what a difference. If there's any way you can be there,
don't miss it." - Catherine Gordon, Certified Turbulence Trainer

 

Catherine was also the winner of my 2nd TT Transformation Contest back
in 2008. So TT first helped change her health and fitness, and now it's
helping her make more money and change more lives. Incredible!

Reserve your spot at the 3rd TT Summit with me

 

I can't wait to hear what this life-changing weekend does for you.

See you soon in San Diego,

Craig Ballantyne, CTT
Certified Turbulence Trainer

You are invited

Everyone loves San Diego. It's classy. It's America's Perfect Weather City.

That's why we're having our 3rd Turbulence Training Summit there in
June (the 21-22, 2013).

And YOU are invited. Our Turbulence Training team arranging for an
amazing, life-changing weekend for over 100 ELITE Trainers (you are
an Elite Trainer, right?).

On Day 1, Bedros, Brian Kalakay, and I will be talking business.
There will be bootcamp workouts on the rooftop of the hotel in
the morning and a special guest reception with all the presenters
and free food in the evening.

 

And YES, you can earn CEU's for attending this event!

Oh, and Adam Bornstein will be there to show you how to become
"Famous in Fitness". Adam is the former editor of Livestrong.com,
and a guy I just hired for $10,000 as a consultant for my ETR
business. He's super sharp and knows how to drive a ton of traffic
to your website...and get you into the big magazines and on the big
websites as a world-famous fitness expert.

After the reception, you'll want to get some rest, because then it's...

 

Day 2, where high-energy trainer Martin Rooney (Training For Warriors)
will be our guest speaker and bootcamp leader.

Should be a blast...and Mikey Whitfield will be there to defend his
"Trainer of the Year" award. Who will win this year???

If you want to attend, please reserve your seat IMMEDIATELY.

 

Reserve your spot at www.TTSummit.com

 

Each ticket TRIPLES in price at midnight on Friday - and even though
that would still be an incredible deal for what you get, you might as
well save yourself big bucks by reserving your spot now.

 

I don't use the phrase "Life-Changing" lightly. Here's what one attendee,

Catherine Gordon, posted on the TT Forum the other day:

 

"Can't wait for the summit. I know this one will be the best
ever.  Plus, you can't beat the neighborhood for restaurants,
fun, and shopping, literally right outside the hotel door.

But more important...This time last year, I was teaching 3 small
classes a week.

This week we're doubling our floor space to accommodate the
rush of new students we're getting. I think I've followed a tenth
of the advice I've learned at last year's summit, but what a
difference it has made. If there's any way you can be there,
don't miss it." - Catherine Gordon, Certified Turbulence Trainer

 

(I'm doing my best to persuade Catherine to join us on stage and to
share some of her success tips.)

 

Just another reason to join us...

 

Once you have your spot reserved, you'll receive hotel information and
notification on where to show up for the bootcamp workouts.

 

If you've been to Fitness Business Summit, then picture the Turbulence
Training Summit as a much more intimate version where you'll get more
time with the Big Name speakers and a chance to meet more of your
fellow attendees...plus, you'll do a few TT workouts too!

20 Home Workout Programs just added

Big Announcement.

==> www.HomeWorkoutRevolution.com

If you're already a member at HWR.com, just log in to view them immediately. Let us know what you think of the metabolic-packed mini workouts.

Yesterday was bodyweight training for me, but today it was a big squat workout.

1) Squat - worked up to 315

2A) Lunges
2B) Pullups

3A) Leg Curls
3B) Side Planks

Good times.

Then went home for a blender drink.

I've found a good combo for the egg white protein shakes, but they still taste really salty. Must be the erythritol?

Today's blender drink:
- 8oz water
- Jay Robb Strawberry Egg White protein powder
- 1/3 avocado
- 2 handfuls spinach
- frozen strawberries

Had this with 1oz almonds and an apple.

I'm also enjoying the Banana Nut Muffin flavored Quest protein bar.

Dinners have been beef with lots of vegetables...too many, I can't eat all of them. One night it was zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms, and onions.

Workouts have been good.

Fingers are doing great.

Eyes are doing great - slowly improving...eyesight is getting closer to 20-20.

Off to the farm for the weekend and then back to Tampa for Easter Weekend.

Bad Form at the Gym

omgomgomgomgomg...

 

That's what I was saying to myself on Saturday morning at the gym as I watched a 35-year old women use the worst deadlift form I'd ever witnessed.

 

It was a complete rounding of every notch in her spine, from the top of her hips right up to her neck. 

 

And for whatever reason, her terrible form was contagious (must have been some type of weird March Break "bad form virus" or something).

 

Just a few feet away from her was another 30-something woman doing lunges and twisting her neck on every rep to check her form in the mirror. That's a near-guaranteed way to get injured. 

 

Over in the machine section, an overweight 50-year old guy with a big belly was wasting his life - and risking his low back - on the rotary torso machine.

 

On and on it went...

 

Too many people have terrible form in the gym. And that's why people get hurt and quit their workout programs...and end up in worse shape then before. Do NOT let this happen to YOU!

 

RANT OVER. Here's the good news...

 

You don't need equipment. You don't need machines. You don't need a gym membership at all.

 

You can burn fat with a fast-paced bodyweight conditioning system at home.

You might not become a world champion in MMA like Georges St. Pierre or Egan Inoue, but you can get their ripped abs.

 

 You're about to discover an ancient Hawaiian secret on how to use bodyweight exercises to burn fat and build muscle.

But first, you have to forget everything you were taught about losing weight. Dispense with the baloney about having to do long, slow cardio.

Egan Inoue, 7-time world champion in mixed martial arts, is going to give you the exact bodyweight conditioning workouts you need to get ripped like an MMA fighter. As everyone knows, there are no athletes more ripped than those that step into the ring (or octagon).

And you'll be able to do this without weights, without spending hours watching infomercial workouts, or using any fancy, expensive equipment.

Egan's going to teach you the fastest way ever discovered to lose belly fat and get ripped without requiring you to leave your home and join a class. And you don't need to be an athlete to enjoy the fast fat-burning results from this system.

Your results? They will be incredible...and noticeable within days, even hours.

If you are looking to boost your metabolism and lose fat fast, you'll do so better than ever with Egan's training secrets. After all, if these worked to help him become a ripped, world-class athlete in not one, but two sports (martial arts and racquetball), then his workouts will work for you too.

In fact, these workouts will work even BETTER for you if you're stuck with your weight loss progress.

 

By switching to a new form of fighter training, you'll shock your body into making massive changes and giving you rapid results. So if the scale hasn't been moving for you, get ready for that to change.

No matter what type of exercise you've been doing in the past, and no matter how bad your diet, Egan's unique exercises and workout routines will give you the results you desire - and deserve - in record time.

 

After all, as a pro athlete that had to train several hours per day just on his skills, Egan didn't have time to waste going to a gym. That's why he developed his no-equipment workouts that could be done anytime, anywhere.

You'll lose belly fat, get six-pack abs, chisel your chest and sculpt your arms, all while dramatically improving your fitness and conditioning.

The coolest thing about Egan's workouts is that you'll be looking forward to each one because you'll be doing something totally different. Now you can say "goodbye" forever to the cardio machines.

Egan's perfected his system over decades in the world of MMA conditioning, where his name is legendary. If you've ever wanted a fighter on your side in the battle against belly fat, Egan's your man.

Don't waste any more time. Get started with his bodyweight MMA fat burning workouts and ultimate conditioning system today. As a FREE bonus, you'll also receive his legendary "21-Day Cut-the-Fat Fighter's Diet" system that promises you rapid results in just a few short weeks - all by making a few simple, quick-and-easy changes to your daily meals.

Thanks to the secrets that Egan is about to release from the MMA world to all of us looking to lose a little more belly fat, you're going to get your fastest results ever.

So say goodbye to boring cardio. Give up the gym membership. And get Fighter Ripped with a Championship winning program today.

Discover the Hawaiian bodyweight workout secrets here

All of the workouts are fast and simple to do. Egan's decades of experience building his own body, and in running bootcamp workouts for thousands of clients on the beautiful islands of Hawaii, are now available for you to use to lose fat fast.

Imagine for a moment how amazing you'll look with a fighter's washboard abs, sculpted biceps and triceps, and chiseled chest. Plus, you'll also have dramatic increases in all day energy thanks to the fighter conditioning system.

If that's what you'd like, then let Egan show you how to accomplish all of this from the comfort of your own home quickly and easily with his proven system.

I've trained over 97,000 people with my Turbulence Training system, and I've read hundreds of books and attended dozens of seminars, but if I had to give you the ultimate MMA-Style bodyweight conditioning workout that gets you fighter ripped and fit, this is the one and only program I know that does all of that at once.

That's how valuable it is. Get it at:

The Bally and Deadlifting Weekend Report

Picked up Bally the Dog from the sitters last night, and that kicked off a great weekend (so far). I've even spent some time in the kitchen cooking.

You see, last weekend, on the Sunday morning before my flight from Orange County to Denver, I enjoyed one of the best omelets of my life. It was nothing fancy, just a spinach and mushroom omelet, made with 4 real eggs (not that "instant eggs" mix used by most hotels), spinach, and mushrooms.

It was light and fluffy.

And so I've spent the past week trying to recreate that omelet at home.

One trick I learned from a fancy chef was to blend the eggs. I use the old blender-drink blender and give it 3 pulses. It's the lazy man's way to beat eggs.

After adding a healthy dose of coconut oil to my cast-iron skillet, I added the eggs to a low heat, and then added the toppings as the eggs solidified. Everything was going as planned...but then I tried to simply fold the omelet over, and that's where I butchered it.

The presentation ended up being a poor mess, but the eating was good!

Had that along with steamed broccoli and lots of tomato sauce, plus an apple, an orange Zevia (stevia sweetened, no-calorie soda) in place of orange juice, and a decaf Green Tea.

That was enjoyed while reading the Saturday Globe and Mail and getting some ETR essay ideas, and while watching/listening to the Manchester United game on TV.

Perfect after-workout at-home Saturday brunch with Bally the Dog. He had his regular meal. Dog food. He can't get enough. I also gave him a breath-freshening greenie treat.

Before my workout I tried a new flavor of Quest protein bar. It's Banana Nut Muffin, and is sucralose-free. If you get a fresh box, you'll be impressed. Had that along with Athletic Greens, sencha Green Tea, and 1oz almonds.

Then went and deadlifted. Good session.

Hang Clean - 3x3
Deadlift - 5x5
Military Press - 5x5
Good Morning - 4x10
Bulgarian Split Squat - 2x15
Pullup - 3x4

Great day all round. Hope yours was too.

BTW, for pullups, check out www.challengeworkouts.com for the blueprint to get more pullups!

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tip:
“Living each day as it if were our last, rather than converting us into hedonists, will make us appreciate how wonderful it is that we are alive and have the opportunity to fill this day with activity. This in turn will make us less likely to squander our days. As we think about and plan for tomorrow, remember to appreciate today.” - William B. Irvine

Denver Nuggets and Meathead Training

Great dinner last night with Isabel De Los Rios, Mat Smith, Jeff Siegel (Isabel's business partner), and Adam Bornstein. We went to Tag restaurant in Denver. Isabel and I had the scallops. They were really great, and I had a big salad, too.

Afterward Matt and I went to the Denver Nuggets - NY Knicks basketball game. Good times. I had a bag of peanuts and a water. It was a blow-out, and the Nuggest are just such a great, young team. The Knicks, however, had two guys that were around 40 years old, and Carmelo Anthony played a stinker.

In a few hours I'll be heading home to Toronto. But first I'll do one more workout. It will be an upper body meathead training session of DB chest press, DB row, pullups or pulldowns, pushups, and arms. I'll be back to heavy lifting on Saturday.

$10000 Workout Invitation

Yesterday was a life-changing day for my business. I invested $10,000
to bring in Adam Bornstein, former online editor of MensHealth.com and
LiveStrong.com, to improve my websites and get my articles distributed

to some of the biggest websites in the world.

 

It was worth every penny. Today, he and I are going to sit down and
work on a book proposal, too.

 

Why am I telling you this?

 

Because you'll get his advice virtually for FREE at the TT Summit. I'm
bringing in Adam to show personal trainers how to become famous and
make more money.

 

Adam's insider secrets from years spent behind the scenes at the biggest
fitness websites in the world will help boost your business. His tips on
writing the perfect content for your blogs  (or creating the perfect videos
for Youtube) will make you the GO-TO trainer in your area.

 

It will change your business.

 

But that's not all you'll get at the TT Summit this year. 

 

You'll also join me and world-famous personal trainer, Martin Rooney, 

for unforgettable and intense morning bootcamp workouts.

 

Martin promises a "Bodyweight Battle" of epic proportions. You're
going to learn so much and be able to take home dozens of new exercises
and  workout ideas to get your clients faster results.

 

Again, this will make you the GO-TO trainer in your city.

 

But wait, there's more...

 

Bedros Keuilian, the fitness marketing legend, has promised to bring you
brand new strategies to help you get more clients.

 

His systems are so good that I just went out and bought a Fit Body Bootcamp
and have partnered with Ray Ortiz, a Certified Turbulence Trainer, to grow
and dominate the bootcamp scene back home in Toronto.

 

So I'm not only a friend of Bedros, I'm also a client myself!

 

After all, he's the BEST at what he does - teaching trainers how to make
more money, work fewer hours, and live the life they desire and deserve.

 

Here's the full schedule of events...it'll be a life-changing two days for
you and your personal training career, accelerating your success and

helping you change the lives of so many more people.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Heck, I'd pay $10,000 learn from Bedros, Martin, Adam, and Mikey W.

But you don't have to pay even 1% of that.

The TT Summit is just $97 for the first 50 fast-action takers.

Reserve your spot at the 3rd TT Summit with me

See you there,

Craig Ballantyne, CTT
