You can be as good as anyone that ever lived. 

If you can read, you can learn everything that anyone ever learned. 

But you've got to want it.

One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years.

Within five years you’ll be a national authority. 

In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.

Our Story

In 2000 ‐ Opened a gym with one employee, eight members and 650 sq ft of gym floor.

Disappointed with the standards in our industry, frustrated with the current gym we were working at and decided to take the risk and open our own place.

2003: By the second half of the year I was sick all the time. Couldn't figure it out but ended up taking a lot of time off

2004: I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and had to take the rest of the year off

2005: I was recovering and could only work part time

2006: I relapsed and essentially we moved into the hospital where I underwent a stem cell transplant

2007: Took the year off completely to recover

2008: the economy tanked

2009: the economy continued to drop and close to 20% of all gyms went out of business

3. The Three Steps of Service are the foundation of Ritz‐Carlton hospitality. These steps must be used in every interaction to ensure satisfaction, retention, and loyalty.

15. Be an ambassador of your Hotel in and outside of the work place. Always talk positively. Communicate any concerns to the appropriate person.

16. Escort guests rather than pointing out directions to another area of the Hotel.

Page 50: Evolution of a Personal Trainer - National Strength …€¦ · Evolution of a Personal Trainer: Ten things I wish I knew when.. Alwyn Cosgrove

17. Use Ritz‐Carlton telephone etiquette. Answer within three rings and with a "smile." Use the guest’s name, when possible. When necessary, ask the caller "May I place you on hold?" Do not screen calls. Eliminate call transfers whenever possible. Adhere to voice mail standards.
