Would you rather use a treadmill… or get results?

My personal training studio is also listed under gyms in the Morris County area.  And even though it’s tucked away in the back of the building I sometimes still get walk in traffic. Most of my business has either come from word of mouth, someone seeing me during one of my strongman performances/public speaking, google searches or from a deal of the day site etc. but when I get walk ins it’s a nice surprise….but it almost always results in the same question.

“Where are the treadmills?”

Now I’m not going to turn this into an anti treadmill rant but I’ll just say, I’m not into them.  I’ve had opportunities to buy commercial grade ones for cheap, but opted not to because they are simply a waste of space in my studio.  My response to this question is simply;

“I don’t have any. I’ve found them to not be useful in getting people to achieve the results they hire me for. I’ve filled my personal training studio with more useful things.”

I’ll try to do a run down of the different things I have, but I may forget some because I’m not at the studio to itemize it at the moment.  Some of them don’t sound like exercise equipment but trust me, they work when you know how to use them correctly.

  • Full range of kettlebells varying from 5lbs to 106lbs
  • Barbell with plates
  • Squat rack
  • adjustable lock out stands
  • pull up bars
  • dip station
  • junglegym2 suspension trainer
  • jump stretch bands
  • adjustable dumbbells
  • sandbags
  • sotsky exerciser
  • hammer
  • dowels
  • steel bars
  • nails
  • cards
  • phonebooks
  • chairs
  • FMS assessment kit
  • lateral resistance bands
  • Gray Cook band
  • lacrosse ball
  • fugly rubber
  • grippers
  • eagle claws
  • chains
  • ab ball
  • power ball
  • decline sit up bench

Out of those, the possible combinations are endless and pack far more punch than walking on a human hamster wheel.  And there may be more that I’m not remembering at the moment but beyond the equipment is how to use it for best results.  Even if I had nothing more than an empty room I’d still get you great results.

I’ve gotten knowledge from over a decade of experience training various types of people with a great track record. From cutting edge training theories backed by science, to the nearly lost subculture of steel bending super-humans to simply observing what’s working and what’s not with real people.  Yes I have a veritable alphabet soup of letters after my name of various certifications I’ve attained but my real credentials are my success stories.

And that’s the thing really.  Are you actually looking for a treadmill, or are you looking to make the change? Sometimes it really is a choice between the two and the decision you make will determine your future.
