A New Breed of Personal Trainer

Have you planned for your success?

The difference between successful people and dreamers is the ability to think big, set up the plan and implement the plan. It takes vision, commitment and heaps of inspiration. We often over estimate what we can achieve in a day and vastly under estimate what is possible in 12 months time. This workshop will make a profound difference to you and your life.

The Create Your Best Year Ever workshop is exclusive to PT PRO and numerous fitness professionals who attended this workshop last year attribute their success in 2010 to this inspirational workshop.

SECURE YOUR PLACE AT THIS INSPIRATIONAL WORKSHOP TODAY

Create Your Best Year Ever will provide you with ideas, clarity and focus for the your life and your business. Image having a detailed plan for you and your business for the next 12 months, a detailed month by month operational and marketing plan (including holidays) and a weekly system for keeping yourself organised and accountable.

Lead by fitness professional, motivational speaker, author and business mentor Paul Timms, each participant in this motivational workshop will leave inspired to take action and produce results in their business and in their own lives.

PT Pro is the ultimate convention for Personal Trainers and Fitness Professionals.

This three day event is not just about the inspiring expert speakers from the fields of business and fitness. Nor is it just about the money-can't-buy networking opportunities with the best in the Australian fitness industry. It is also focused on reigniting the passion and dedication of Personal Trainers to their careers helping people achieve their fitness goals.

Colette is a Personal Trainer who has clients back home in a small rurual community in Central Queensland - this is why she will be attending PT Pro and bringing every Personal Trainer and Fitness Professional she knows with her:

PT PRO is an excellent opportunity for Personal Trainers to revitalise and re-energise.

I come from a rural based community and know Personal Trainers are called upon to engage and educate the entire community on health and well being.  Most of the time on a volunteer basis.

Keeping abreast of what’s happening in the industry is vital but also equally important is taking the time to refresh and reboot. Personal Trainers are not immune to burn out.  We give so much of ourselves.

I encourage you to reward yourself and come to PT Pro.  Can you imagine the energy of an entire room filled with Personal Trainers listening and participating in sessions from the most powerful and knowledgeable leaders in the industry?  Surround yourself and indulge for three days and absorb as much enthusiasm and knowledge as you can so you can continue to provide to your clients the level of commitment and professionalism they deserve.

My name is Colette and I am Inspiring and Generous - I will be attending PT Pro to ensure I stay inspiring and generous to my Personal Training clients.

I look forward to meeting you all there.

Don’t miss out, book now.

Dedicate October to your own personal and professional development by attending PT Pro - book online today to avoid disappointment as tickets are selling fast!

I just wanted to thank you once again for all your time and effort, both throughout the course and the past few weeks (which went above and beyond any obligation you had to me) - I appreciate it more than I can express. I've learnt a lot and had a great time doing so. What's more, I've gained a real passion and enthusiasm for PT and indeed for Savvy itself. The past two weeks in particular have solidified the fact that this is something I both want and will love to do for a long time to come.
 
Also, I think what you and the trainers have built at Savvy is something pretty special...you should all be very proud. From the trainers to the clients, the entire business has a great atmosphere which I am extremely thankful to have experience for a short time.
 
Please pass on my warmest thanks to everyone at Savvy, especially the trainers, who were so very generous with their time and knowledge.
 
Best wishes,
 
Benny Gava.
