My Secret to Success as a Personal Trainer

I just got this email from a new friend I met at last week’s Ryan Lee Bootcamp …

Greetings Stephen!

I spoke with you briefly at the Ryan Lee boot camp last week. I was asking you about information on how to become a much better trainer and you handed me your card.

So what’s your secret? Are there any materials you can recommend? do you have any web resources you can point me towards?

I really appreciate your help.

It was god to meet you are the Boot camp and I look forward to hearing from you.

As I’ve stated many times before, my mission is to help as many people as possible through personal fitness training – whether I help those people directly or indirectly by helping their trainers get better.

Here’s my secret …

It’s one word.

You ready?

Volunteer.

I got started writing by volunteering to write for the Baltimore Cycling Club and the Baltimore Road Runners Club.

I got started in post-rehab by volunteering in the Physical Therapy Department at Union Memorial Hospital.

I got involved with fitness conventions by volunteering at Fact Fast (which became IDEA Fitness Fusion).

My first publicity outside of the industry came when I volunteered to run the San Antonio Marathon with Leukemia Society’s Team in Training. I later volunteered to coach the local Team Diabetes.

I volunteered to became the nations’ first full-time personal trainer to serve on the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness.

It’s that simple. When you want to serve, when you want to learn, and when you want to be around the role models you’ve carefully selected, volunteer to help.
